22 Jump Street

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 4th June 2014

"We're reviving a cancelled undercover police program from the '80s and revamping it for modern times..." â€“ if this neat, self-knowing gag from 21 Jump Street made you shoot guns into the air, then you're in for a treat with this sequel, a movie that spends more time playing off its own cash-in circumstances than trying to tell an original story. Which sounds awful, admittedly. But Jonah Hill's second visit to Jump Street pushes this meta theme so much more than before, resulting in a film that, despite deliberately following its predecessor's formula exactly, feels even more fresh and just as ludicrously funny.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Movie Review | Ali | 26th February 2013

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters bears all the hallmarks of a film that knows entirely how silly it is. For starters, it's called Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. It's produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, the freewheeling comedic spitballers behind Anchorman. Peter Stormare is in it. Crucially, it has a concept so inherently ludicrous â€“ Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) are all grown up and hunt witches with hardware that'd shame Seal Team Six â€“ you'd think it impossible for such a film to lack self-awareness. Why, then, does Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters fumble almost every chance it has to be funny?

The Last Stand

Movie Review | Matt | 22nd January 2013

Arnie's back! Again. But this time he's really back - y'know, just like he used to say his famous saying that he said. He's BACK, and he's older and clunkier than ever so, er... yay? In fact, in this film, he looks less likely to say 'I'll be back' and more likely to say 'Aargh! My back!', amirite? Are we done here? Good, let's move on.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Movie Review | Matt | 9th May 2012

Well, I think we can all guess how Mel Gibson spent his summer vacation, amirite? Yelling anti-Semitic accusations into the voicemail of someone with tabloid connections? Drunkenly embarking on a tirade of racist and domestic abuse against his ex-wife? Playing Grand Wizard at a clan rally gathering before a burning wicker effigy? Right, I'm out. Shall we get on with the film?

The Brothers Grimm

Movie Review | Chris | 3rd September 2005

This is a very difficult review for me to write. The reason why has to do with the fact that I am a Terry Gilliam fanatic. I've seen every movie the guy has ever made, and I've managed to find something to love about each and every one of them (and yeah, that even includes The Adventures of Baron Münchausen). The guy is a tr...

Bad Boys II

Movie Review | Ali | 2nd January 2005

If there are two black actors who need a hit at the moment, they're Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Will Smith has unfortunately never lived up to the promise he showed in Michael Mann's Ali, and found himself content with dross like Men In Black 2. Martin Lawrence needs an altogether different kind of hit ie. a punch in the d...
