Bleed For This

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 4th December 2016

Trouble with all boxing films: they aren't Rocky. Rocky not only set the benchmark, but the template, out of which no one's really managed to break: guy has to overcome adversity, the other boxer is a metaphor for his life, and his real opponent is himself. True-lifer Bleed For This is a bit different. But not that different.

Sully: Miracle On The Hudson

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 29th November 2016

In times of crisis, look to Hanks. America's on its arse and what it needs now more than ever is a man whose Twitter account is dedicated to finding gloves on the streets of New York, not making baseless claims of voter fraud. Inferno got it wrong, but Sully understands better what sort of hero Hanks can be: the kind who manages to land a malfunctioning aeroplane but afterwards just wants everyone to stop going on about it.

London Has Fallen

Movie Review | Becky Suter | 2nd March 2016

There are a few questions that spring to mind when watching London Has Fallen, the first one being WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BLOW UP BIG BEN? The second; is Gerard Butler the luckiest man in show business? And if Iâ€™m going to round this out with a third, does Morgan Freeman just have a stock set of scenes of him against a green screen that he flogs to studios? I swear I havenâ€™t seen him interact with another live being for nearly two years now.

Olympus Has Fallen

Movie Review | Matt | 16th April 2013

In the land of boil-in-a-bag movie pitches, the 'Die Hard in aâ€¦' concept is king. It sits upon a gun-shaped throne wearing a torn, bloodied white vest, a crown made of bullets and a self-deprecating smile. And with good reason. Finish the sentence 'Die Hard in aâ€¦' with any intelligible idea and you have a movie that instantly sounds fucking amazing. Die Hard in a circus? Imagine the possibilities! Die Hard in a lift? Claustrocore-iffic! Die Hard in time? WHY ARENâ€™T I WATCHING THAT RIGHT NOW? Die Hard in the White House? Sure, I'm on board. Why not?

7 things I forgot to write about Battle Los Angeles last week

Movie Review | Ali | 17th March 2011

So I saw Battle Los Angeles (now correctly de-colonised, for all you punctuation pedants) last week but the ringing in my ears only just stopped. Guess I'd better do a blog post on it then.

Rabbit Hole

Movie Review | Ali | 1st February 2011

Last week we ran a pictorial feature on what it would would look like if movie posters had to be honest (maybe you've heard of it, *pout*), so Toy Story 3 became You're Going To Cry, Winter's Bone was Poor People Are Depressing, and so on. My honest review title for Rabbit Hole - which is decidedly cryptic, might I add - would be The Grief Olympics, with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart in competition to see who can act the saddest.
