Maleficent

Movie Review | Becky Suter | 28th May 2014

Getting over your first love can be tricky. When your heart has been torn from your chest and ripped to pieces in front of you by the cruel hand of fate (or by your childhood sweetheart), it's easy to believe that true love only exists in fairytales, particularly when you're standing outside their house at 2am, barefoot and screaming "WHHHHYYYY?!" Agony aunts will often offer up cheery advice such as "Take up a new hobby!" or "Try a daring new haircut!" My advice after watching Maleficent would be to get a set of leather horns, some red lipstick and go all 'bad witch' on his ass. Revenge has never looked so good.

The true identity of Andy's Dad in Toy Story will blow your mind

Movie Feature | Ali Gray | 25th February 2014

No doubt you have already seen the impressive theory online this week regarding the origins of Andy's mother in Toy Story? It's very convincing, but pales into comparison to the mind-blowing discovery I made upon poring through the Pixar archives for clues. It turns out that there is lots of evidence to suggest that Andy's absent father is actually none other than... DARTH VADER.

Wreck-It Ralph

Movie Review | Matt | 3rd February 2013

I'm sorry to dispel the idea that this site is run entirely by the kind of geeks who immerse themselves in every form of popular culture available, but I'm not much of a gamer. By all accounts, the other guys are, but I couldnâ€™t tell apart a Far Cry from a Mass Effect, or even a Vita from a DS for that matter. I mention this only as a way of making it clear upfront that I may not be the best person to appreciate Wreck-It Ralph's myriad of 8-bit cameos and gaming references â€“ just in case my right to review a film about a fairly unfamiliar subject matter is ever called into question. Let alone my opinion: it's actually rather good.

A heartfelt plea to all film bloggers and editors regarding Star Wars

Movie Feature | Ali | 7th November 2012

It has been approximately one week since the Disney/Lucasfilm merger, and the announcement of Star Wars: Episode VII for release in 2015. Seven days. In this time, the rumour mill has already kicked into overdrive. Film bloggers, writers, editors, hear me: I'm making a polite request. Stop it. Just stop it. Right now.

John Carter

Movie Review | Ali | 2nd March 2012

Already written off as potentially "the biggest write-off of all time", it's a shame to put the boot into a film that was always going to struggle during a crowded, franchise-heavy summer. Andrew Stanton is a director with two of the finest animated films ever made on his CV (WALL-E and Finding Nemo), and he has one of science-fiction's true originals on his side in Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess Of Mars. A production this large must have taken thousands of men and women years to create â€“ writers, runners, artists, builders, designers, extras and animators alike. You feel for them all, because there is no escaping it - John Carter is a calamitous failure; a dirty bomb of laughable dialogue, boneheaded plotting, wooden acting and uninspired direction that will leave a smoking crater in Disney's Q1 box-office returns. If it is to flop, it's so woeful it deserves it.

Tangled

Movie Review | Matt | 26th January 2011

After 2009's The Princess and the Frog reminded us how wonderfully sublime traditional Disney animations are and, in the process, helped to apologise for the recent output of sacrilegious, straight-to-DVD sequels (something like Jungle Book II: The Killer Uprising or Bambi's Revenge), now the Mouse House is back with a new, energised take on its usual fairytale offering. Somewhere, deep in the bowels of a secret cryogenic chamber, Walt's disembodied head is smiling sweetly.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Movie Review | Rob | 18th August 2010

18th Century poetry isn't usually the biggest fountain of ideas when it comes to full-on, bold, effects-driven summer blockbusters. But when has logic stood in the way of uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer? After all, this is the man who turned a crappy theme park ride into the billion dollar Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise and made Prince Of Persia a successful... er... yeah... (*awkward pause*).
