Jupiter Ascending

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 6th February 2015

Thereâ€™s no excuse for actively willing a film to fail, but sometimes it just seems written in the stars â€“ when all the planets align for a colossal mess of galactic proportions â€“ and, in that instance, all you can do is hope that the film is so ludicrous in its concept and execution that it becomes that rare creation: a film so unintentionally hilarious, it provides the funniest movie experience of the year.

Movie Review | Rob | 3rd April 2012

The trailers for Tarsem Singh's lavish interpretation of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs totally sell the film short, filled with cheap puns, singing and dancing. On this evidence, the grittier Lord Of The Rings-esque Snow White And The Huntsman - due out in June - looked set to leave its colourful rival out in the cold, dark woods. Don't be put off just yet. On closer inspection, Mirror Mirror might just be the fairest of them all: an utterly delightful and faithful re-telling of the classic fairytale â€“ a dazzling treat for the eyes from start to finish.

TV News | Ed Williamson | 14th January 2012

Movie Feature | Luke, Ali | 18th June 2011

This is a Public Service Announcement for any parents of child actors out there: never put your kids up for a part in a film featuring Sean Bean. For whilst he may have the welcoming features of a saggy humanoid ALF, Sean Bean is in fact a Pied Piper... of Doom!

The Island

Movie Review | Ali | 13th August 2005

Choose life. Choose a fucking big television. Choose a flash new car. Choose a yacht. Choose a clone. It looks like Renton's got into a bit more trouble than a skag habit this time, as he joins director Michael Bay for the big no-brain blockbuster of the summer.
