Review: The Lego Movie 2 plays nicely but has no new surprises

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 10th February 2019

My nephews were younger when the first Lego Movie came out. I mean, everyone was. But in 2014 they were five years younger; a lifetime when you're under ten. The elder one loved it; the younger probably not quite at the age where he could be relied on to sit through anything for more than ten minutes without chewing his shoes. They'll love this too, because they're still under ten and they're idiots, despite the older one being quite capable of comprehensively schooling me about dinosaurs. Me, I think maybe the magic has faded a bit.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Movie Review | Ali Gray | 12th October 2014

So I finally got old. Morning: doctor's appointment for dry skin. Afternoon: phone calls with estate agents and surveyors and mortgage advisors. Evening: still-aching limbs from a football match played 48 hours previously. I startle awake to find myself sat in a Paramount screening room ready to watch the latest iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a phenomenon I was probably too old to enjoy guilt-free the first time round a quarter of a century ago. "Let's see those hands in the air!" says a company spokesperson, urging attendees to don the giant green foam hands provided for a photo opportunity. I am secretly glad I didn't pick any up on the way in. Because I am old as fuck.

BoJack Horseman: season one

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 2nd September 2014

It's a cartoon about a drunk horse, but I still think it has something interesting to say about contemporary celebrity. I will not let this Media Studies degree go to waste.

Monsters Vs Aliens

Movie Review | Kirsty | 21st April 2009

Like so many brides to be, Susan Murphy's wedding day consisted of getting up early to be faffed and fluffed over; sneaking off to see her groom before the ceremony; being squished by a quantonium-laden meteorite and subsequently transformed into a 49-and-a-half-foot government secret codenamed Ginormica. It's a timeless tale. ...

Semi-Pro

Movie Review | Ali | 3rd March 2008

The poster tells you all you need to know: Semi-Pro is a Will Ferrell sports comedy. The trailer tells you even less: "I, Jackie Moon, will wrestle a bear," says Ferrell's character, before being savaged and yelling "The only thing I care about is my hair!" This, apparently, is enough to get bums on seats: the tagline might as w...

Ratatouille

Movie Review | Ali | 19th October 2007

Even the greatest performers slip up sometimes. Babe Ruth would quite often swing and miss. Pele, on occasion, would struggle to hit a barn door. Tiger Woods has been known to make a spaz of himself. And so, to bring this laboured metaphor to its conclusion, we come to Pixar - the big hitters of the animation industry. Their bat...
