The Book Of Henry

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 26th June 2017

If you haven't seen the Book Of Henry trailer, I urge you to watch it now. It shows a whimsical family drama about a genius kid looking after his mum and little brother, making them realise the value of real love until... FUCK Dean Norris is evil! Is he a killer? No time to find out because Naomi Watts is now running around with a sniper rifle! Clearly someone somewhere hasn't worked out how to properly market this film.

Except they have. They really have. This is the exact film of that trailer.

While We're Young

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 3rd April 2015

The sight of a middle-aged man in a trilby is hard to bear. Particularly when it isn't accompanied by what you judge to be any other changes in his regular attire: just a single hat, borne as a standard on the scalp, saying, Will this do? Am I cool again? The cycle of youth makes us all obsolete sooner or later, and it's hard to accept. And while there's a dignity to aspire to in Don Draper, defiantly immaculate in sports jacket and tie at a party full of hippies, can you blame a man for wanting to get back what he had when he can't pinpoint when he lost it?

Belated review of The Impossible by my builder

Movie Feature | Matt | 16th January 2013

This is what happens when we don't receive a friendly invite from a PR company to attend a free, early press screening of a film with free tasty nibbles and free alcohol. Disgraceful oversight on someone's part. Don't they know who we are? Actually, they probably don't.

J. Edgar

Movie Review | Ali | 17th January 2012

One of the cardinal sins of film journalism is that you must never call a film 'boring' â€“ professionalism dictates that there must be a more accurate way of singling out the movie's flaws; a more apt way of summing up why it disappoints. A dull script, perhaps, or flat performances. But no. There is no better way to summarise the ways in which Clint Eastwood's Hoover biopic fails: J. Edgar is just fucking boring. It just is. It looks boring, it sounds boring, it feels boring, it IS boring.

Funny Games U.S.

Movie Review | Ali | 11th April 2008

"Why are you doing this to us?" asks Tim Roth's housebound hostage. "Why not?" says his tormentor. Why not indeed? Michael Haneke certainly needs no further excuse to repackage his 1997 thriller for American audiences - it is, after all, the audience the movie was originally aimed at. Shot in a near identical...

The Assassination Of Richard Nixon

Movie Review | Ali | 15th April 2005

I can't lay claim to being Sean Penn's biggest fan - anyone humourless enough to defend Jude Law deserves to be taken down a few notches in my book - but I can grudgingly accept that he's pretty good at this acting lark. While I wouldn't necessarily label him as 'our generation's De Niro' as some people have, he's rather adept ...
