Split
Movie Review | Ali Gray | 19th January 2017
Some actors go their whole lives without being offered a role as tasty as James McAvoy's character in Split. You've heard of roles being described as "scenery chewing"? In Split, M Night Shyamalan basically builds his sets out of beef jerky and invites McAvoy to tuck in. It's full-on Willy Wonka. As kidnapper Kevin who suffers from dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities to you, me and I), McAvoy effectively has free reign of a buffet comprised of equal parts cheese, ham and bananas.

Movie Feature | Ali | 24th December 2012
Sorry After Earth, but Oblivion got there first in the 'Tiny lone figure stands among the mist with his spaceship, staring at a futuristic wasteland and a distant waterfall, above a minimalistic white logo' stakes.

Devil
Movie Review | James | 19th September 2010

Movie Review | Rob | 11th August 2010
It's easy to ridicule M. Night Shyamalan. The ex- golden boy of Hollywood, with his clever, never-saw-it-coming twists, has been reduced to a laughing stock; his reputation in tatters after the atrocities that were Lady In The Water and The Happening.

Movie News | Ali | 23rd April 2010
As long as filmmakers keep reaching for that extra 3D dollar, we'll keep Photoshopping dumb little 3D glasses on their characters' faces.

The Happening
Movie Review | Ali | 14th June 2008
Plot a graph of M Night Shyamalan's career and you could pick up quite a speed sledding to the bottom. He started on a high with The Sixth Sense and the underrated Unbreakable, but somewhere around the 80 minute mark in Signs, Night started his inexorable decline. The Village? Lady In The Water? Twaddle of the highest order. And...
