Review: Captain Marvel is predictably great fun by numbers

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 5th March 2019

It seems strange now to consider any new Marvel movie to be a risk. After 20 films, each amassing box office receipts equal to the size of entire national economies, surely a new instalment of the MCU can only ever be a sure thing at this stage? And yet, here we are, with a film that is about risky as Marvel gets now; not because this is its first female-fronted film (Wonder Woman has kapowed that glass ceiling already), but because we are dealing with a character most wonâ€™t know, with abilities that are supposed to be more powerful than anything we have ever seen before, played by a still relatively obscure lead actress. Oh and thereâ€™s that little thing of presenting her as the Endgame saviour of the Infinity War. Have no doubt, Marvel is rolling the dice here, even if they are safely loaded.

Fair play to the monkey, he's got me bang to rights there

Movie News | Ali | 19th August 2013

The poster for Jude Law's crime comedy is 100% accurate, 1000% weird. Unless your name is Dom Hemingway, in which case it's just bloody wrong. Is your name Dom Hemingway? The Shiznit team would like to speak with you about a feature we haven't properly thought through. (Via IMP).

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows

Movie Review | Matt | 13th December 2011

Once again, Guy Ritchie delves into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's lesser-known casebook of Sherlock Holmes â€“ the one filed under 'improbably explosive' (subfolder: homoeroticism) â€“ and pulls together a sequel that, by the law of the blockbuster, is destined to be a lazy rehash of the first film. However, not so in this case; Ritchie has upped the ante on every level, building on the same style and plot devices as Holmes' last outing but raising the stakes in the process and delivering an adventure that's just as fun as the first time round.

Contagion: Steven Soderbergh remade Outbreak minus the monkey

Movie Trailer | Ali | 14th July 2011

Hipster's choice Steven Soderbergh made a movie you probably haven't heard of called Contagion, but cast Matt Damon and Kate Winslet in it. Ugh, sell-out. (*straightens lens-free glasses*)

Sherlock Holmes

Movie Review | Kirsty | 4th January 2010

Sherlock Holmes is one of Britain's most enduring literary figures, thanks in no small part to previous adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's books on the big and small screens. Whilst it's not known whether anyone has actually read a Holmes book in the last few decades, everyone has a clear mental picture of the detective in question and can throw out a few misquotes when the situation calls for it.
