  • Now You See Me

    Movie Review | Matt | 3rd July 2013

    In The Prestige, Michael Caine's Cutter posits that "every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts". You have the 'Pledge', in which the magician shows you something ordinary, the 'Turn', in which he turns that into something extraordinary and the 'Prestige', in which he makes the original item return. Now You See Me does plenty of Pledging and Turning, but fails to win over with the Prestige part. What we have here, is all the wondrous showmanship of a well-performed illusion, followed by the crushing disappointment of reality as our magician explains that it's all down to specially-built rigs and fake props. Except, here, that doesn't even make all that much sense.

  • Interview: Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo

    Movie Feature | Matt | 25th April 2012

  • New Avengers banners likely to cause aggro in Liverpool

    Movie News | Ali | 19th November 2011

    Two brand new character banners for The Avengers have emerged, and don't worry, Scarlett Johansson's arse is featured as prominently as possible. Something tells me, though, that this campaign could be considered aggressive in Merseyside.

  • Never assemble Avengers individually

    Movie News | Ali | 1st October 2011

    Entertainment Weekly have released the first official pictures from the set of The Avengers, which is appropriate, because EW.

  • Mark Gruffalo playing Hulk now?

    Movie News | Ali | 14th July 2010

    Tomorrow: John Travolta to play Hulk? Friday: Nicolas Cage to play Hulk? Saturday: Danny Trejo to play Hulk? Oh god it's the new Spider-Man. And this site does NOT look good in green.

  • The Brothers Bloom

    Movie Review | Chris | 7th June 2010

    With The Brothers Bloom, writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick) firmly cements his reputation as one of the most original and daring cinematic voices of his generation.

  • Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

    Movie Review | Ali | 3rd September 2004

    They say the average human only uses 5% of his brain. Charlie Kaufman is certainly not the average human, and if scientific boffins were to poke their bits and bobs into his frontal lobe, I think you'd find the results to be most startling.
