Movie Trailer | Ali | 25th May 2013

As far as high concept documentaries go, 'Convince war criminals to re-enact genocide in the style of Hollywood movies in order to trick them into repenting' has to rank as one of the highest.

Jack Reacher (#2)

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 20th December 2012

Sure, we already gave you one review of Jack Reacher, but here's a second. Can you ever have too many? Yes, obviously: three would be too many. Point is, what divides this film's audience, and was always going to, is whether or not they'd read Lee Child's books beforehand. Your original reviewer Matt hadn't, largely because he reads the sort of rubbish that has emotions and realistic female characters in it. I, on the other hand, have, because the Reacher books are for MEN and have GUNS and 'SPLOSIONS and stuff in them. Other than that, I mainly just read Auto Trader and porn.

Jack Reacher

Movie Review | Matt | 11th December 2012

Let me get this out of the way upfront: I have never read the Jack Reacher novels.

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done

Movie Review | Oli | 20th September 2010

Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call - New Orleans

Movie Review | Anna | 19th May 2010

Ah, Nicolas Cage. Regulars to this site will know we're all pretty devoted to the mighty NC. If you're expecting an impartial review you better look elsewhere. It's been a rocky road for Nic of late, even we can see that through the smoke of adoration, but we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief at the news that, along with turning the Christmas lights on in Bath (okay, and a little movie called Kick-Ass), Bad Lieutenant is Cage's best work in an age.
