  • Listen to us rage some bullshit

    Movie Feature | Matt | 7th March 2013

    By which I mean, listen to us take part in the incredibly fun, movie-related, quiz show podcast Raging Bullshit, and not just listen to us talk incessantly about random crap. Actually, thinking about it, those two things are exactly the same.

  • The Woman In Black

    Movie Review | Matt | 14th February 2012

    At last! Now that the wizarding adventures of Harry Potter have finished, we finally get to find out whether Daniel Radcliffe can act for realsies instead of just looking scared and running away from CGI monsters. Oh.

  • DVD weekly: crap cops, cowboys and teens of steel

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 31st October 2011

    Halloween, that's what the kids want these days. How can I tie in this DVD weekly? Um ... Deadwood says 'Dead' in it, I suppose. Smallville is ... well, what if there was a bloke who was really 'small'? He'd be pretty scary, right? Oh wait, it'll be November in ten minutes. I'll just leave it, then.

  • Films on TV round-up: wand tricks and convicts

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 31st July 2011

    Yeah, so what I've basically done here, having reduced this feature from the discussion of three films to two a few weeks back, is to whittle that down to one and a half this time around. Give it a month and this'll just be one paragraph saying "there are films on telly some are good some are not very good watch them if you like kthxbai".

  • Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2

    Movie Review | Matt | 9th July 2011

    And so it all ends. Goodbye, Gryffindor. So long, Slytherin. Adios ‘Ogwarts. Whatever your feelings about ‘The Boy Who Lived’ and his mostly family friendly foray into a world of wizardry, there’s no denying that this final film marks the end of an inspired (and lucrative) era in British filmmaking. So thank god that it so magnificently lives up to the occasion.

  • We done been on a podcast

    Movie News | Ali | 16th March 2011

    Sam and Simon from the Picturehouse podcast were gracious enough to let me contribute my shitty opinionoids on their latest broadcast. The only problem was... I hadn't seen any of the films! (*record scratch*)

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

    Movie Review | Matt | 19th November 2010

    So, after nine years of expelliarmus this and accio that, the Harry Potter franchise comes to a close. The trailer tagline says, "It all ends here"...but it doesn't really, does it? Because as the title agrees, and as fans feared, this is very much just the first half of a bigger story that really ends next July. However, while it's fair to say that this sadly doesn't work as a standalone film, it is still one of the best instalments of the series yet.
