Dunkirk
Movie Review | Matt Looker | 18th July 2017
I don't want to write off an entire category of cinema, but... war films. They can be a bit heavy-going, can't they? Yes, there are some amazing standouts in this crowded genre, but it can be really hard to muster up the enthusiasm to watch a movie depicting the experience of war, which is basically: it's truly horrifying when not intensely boring. Luckily, things are different this time round, because a) Christoper Nolan films have never not been great, b) it's mercifully short at under two hours, and c) maybe there'll be a twist and the soldiers of Dunkirk will get rescued by Batman?

LFF 2016: Free Fire
Movie Review | Matt Looker | 16th October 2016

Broken
Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 6th March 2013
It's always heartening to report that a non-costume, non-street-crime British drama has made it to cinemas at all, let alone that it's any good. Broken, the debut offering from director Rufus Norris, is a rare thing: a film made on these shores that takes the best of British whimsy and lets you see the darkness that can lurk just below its surface, without a bodice or a firearm in sight.

These EXCLUSIVE Red Lights posters are questionable
Movie News | Luke | 12th June 2012
Spooky psychic thriller Red Lights makes its presence known with an exclusive gallery of character posters. Not our exclusive, mind you. Sorry, thought I'd made that clear.

The Edge Of Love
Movie Review | Anna | 15th July 2008
Watching The Edge Of Love is a little like tuning into the BBC on a Sunday evening to find a lavish costume drama. You know, the kind of high-quality frolic that requires approximately half of your attention, leaving the other half free to peruse the Sunday papers at leisure. This film is essentially an intelligent lit-chick-...
