The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug

Movie Review | Neil Alcock | 11th December 2013

First things first: there are no songs, no washing up scenes and no fucking eagles in The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, which immediately makes it a better film than its predecessor. The eyeball-molesting increased frame rate of An Unexpected Journey has also been, if not dropped, then less loudly trumpeted for this film, which is another blessed relief.

Last year's sequel, Dead Man's Chest, took the plunge with slightly more in the way of pu...

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Movie Review | Ali | 11th July 2006

The original Pirates of the Caribbean was a true gem back in 2003; a movie based on a Disney themepark ride ended up being the big attraction of the summer, the humungous box office takings clearing the waters for not one, but two sequels. Its success was in no small part down to one Jonathan Depp III as Jack... sorry, Captain ...

Kingdom Of Heaven

Movie Review | Ali | 10th May 2005

History is soooo rubbish - everyone knows the future is where it's at. Catapults and swords are pretty much going to come in second place when compared to blasters and lightsabres every time, which pretty much explains my attitude to every other film released this month. It's a harsh fact of life, but you don't get in the way ...
