Just a reminder that this quote from Jason Statham's The Mechanic exists
Movie Feature | Ali Gray | 13th July 2014
Additional point: if Jason Statham did this in the mirror, would his reflection shoot itself in the face?

The Expendables 2
Movie Review | Ali | 14th August 2012
The Expendables 2 isn't a movie that exists in our conventional universe. Sure, it stars men of flesh and blood, who live and breathe and bleed, but it is not set in reality. It's an extreme cinematic experience – a 'movie movie', the kind which characters in Quentin Tarantino films enjoy. It's just that little bit exaggerated – not always to an immediately noticeable degree, but it feels like it's constantly overclocked. The Expendables 2 is turbo-charged, hyper-violent, super-stupid and doesn't give a single, solitary shit.

Con Air = CONtinually AIRmazing
Movie Feature | Ali | 3rd July 2011
Earlier today I went to a 'breakfast' screening (1pm is still breakfast, right?) of Con Air at the Prince Charles Cinema in London's Leicester Square. It's still awesome, but in ways I never even knew before.

The Mechanic
Movie Review | Rob | 2nd February 2011
Who wants to play a game? It's called 'I Spy... A Stath Cliche'. It's easy and can be played during any Jason Statham movie. Stath takes his shirt off: check. Stath has sex:check. Stath does that stone-faced scowl: got it! Stath has gun fights and remorseless punch-ups: tick! Finally, Stath blows some shit up: check and check. There's no need to get your Transporter box-set out, because you can try it with The Mechanic - the latest addition to Jason Statham's one-man army sub-genre.
