    Movie Review | Matt Looker | 19th March 2014

    Just like Stan Lee releases those How To Draw Your Favourite Superhero books, complete with crudely sketched circles and squares that somehow become awesome comic-book artwork in just four 'easy' steps, it is becoming increasingly clear that Marvel is working to a very strictly defined template with its movies.

The people who want to see it, will see it. The people who think it sounds dumb, well, they're right, and they still won't go and see it. But one ...

  • The Incredibles

    Movie Review | | 22nd March 2005

    With Toy Story, Pixar completely revolutionised animated cinema, if not cinema itself. Talk was that pretty soon, actors wouldn't be needed at all, and that fully computer-generated pictures could spell the death of all but the most velvet-tongued thespians. After all, why waste time and effort getting Paul Walker to emote whe...
