  • The Birth Of A Nation

    Movie Review | Matt Looker | 12th December 2016

    Can you separate the art from the artist? Is it fair that a film with high hopes of awards potential is now being overlooked because of behind-the-scenes controversy? And should we let a 1999 rape charge brought against filmmaker and star Nate Parker affect how we view his depiction of rape in this film? One thing's for sure, film reviewers everywhere are grateful for being handed an easy opening paragraph before never mentioning the ethical dilemma again for the rest of the review because it's all a bit (*sharp intake of breath*)

  • Non-Stop

    Movie Review | Ali Gray | 28th February 2014

    In the final shot of Non-Stop – spoiler alert – Liam Neeson attempts to crack a smile. It does not look like the smile of a happy man. The poor guy has just spent the last 106 minutes with his face contorted into a permanent grimace; his 61-year-old body presumably ravaged with pain. This is Liam Neeson's life now: playing action hero and paying the physical price. He is now professionally angry and exclusively achy. He's not so much an actor as he is an unofficial Expendable.

But over the few weeks since I saw this, the advertising for Alpha Papa has influenced me so much that every time I think of it, I imagine Alan Partridge saying the title as an expression of weary frustration. "Guhhhhh, ain't them bodies saints?" But Partridgian asides aside, here's an independent film that paints an engaging picture of love torn asunder on a Southern-fried canvas. Cashback.

  • Red Tails

    Movie Review | Rob | 8th June 2012

    A long time ago in a ranch far, far away...
    It is a dark time for George Lucas. Forced to put his
    WWII project on hold and desperate to tell the stories of
    the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American fighter pilot
    squadron, Lucas was told 'No' by the evil studios, who deemed
    a film with an all black cast unmarketable. 23 years later, a time
    when Hollywood wasn't quite so racist, Lucas finally made his film,
    thanks to galactic bucks from his own, overflowing Death Star wallet.
