Movie Feature | Ali Gray, Matt Looker, Becky Suter, Ed Williamson | 18th July 2018

This doesn't really need an introduction. We're talking about all the Mission: Impossible movies. Online. It says so in the title. Just get on with it. Today on Discussion: Impossible: it's Mission: Impossible II! Before we start, I must insist you all open this window and have this music playing in the background to set the scene and take you back to a very specific, very terrible time and place.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 24th May 2018

Four films in four years of this newly rebooted output from a galaxy far, far away, and itâ€™s safe to say that Star Wars fatigue might be setting in for some. While, in that time, thereâ€™s been plenty of new reasons to love and embrace and cheer on the franchise, does anyone still get the same goosebump thrill from yet another momentous money-shot moment for the Millennium Falcon? Does anyone still audibly chuckle as loudly as they used to at the mention of an obscure character thrown in the script just because? Itâ€™s ok to admit it. Weâ€™re all still fans.

Movie Review | Ali | 12th November 2009

Take a look at this week's release schedule: the distinctions between the choices couldn't be more clear. If I want to go and see a film, I'll go and see Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon. If I want to go and see a movie, I'll go and see Roland Emmerich's 2012.

Movie Review | Anna | 11th November 2008

The cultural legacy of the Bush administration is one of opposition and subversion; from the songs of the Dixie Chicks, to the films of Michael Moore, to the literature of Ian McEwan. If Oliver Stone was hoping to earn his place in the canon of Bush-bashing, he's missed the mark with W. What the film does do is help us understan...

Crash

Movie Review | Ali | 22nd August 2005

And so back to reality. This summer we've been treated to Emo planes, chocolate paedophiles and runaway clones, which, although varied in quality, all had one thing in common - escapism.
