I have to admit, up until I saw the trailer in the cinema a week and a half ago, I thought The Lincoln Lawyer had something to do with Abraham Lincoln. I think I was getting it mixed up with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Obviously enough, the trailer corrected that misconception… What can I say, […]
moreHere at Average Film Reviews, we’re big fans of Dwayne Johnson. I mean I saw Tooth Fairy. TOOTH FAIRY. And I didn’t even hate it… Because The Rock was in it. I’m not sure if we’re allowed call him The Rock any more but oh well.*
moreYou may have seen me going on about Battle: Los Angeles recently. It’s the one with that fantastic trailer I saw before The Mechanic. You should click that link and watch it. It’s great. Have you watched it yet? Ok, great. On with the review. So as you can tell from the trailer, Battle: Los […]

If you too are enthusiastic about it then you should really read on because… … The very kind people at Sony Pictures have given me 5 t-shirts […]
moreAs you know, if you read my last review, I don’t really like watching trailers in general… but I do like to watch the first ones as they give you a flavour for the film without (generally) giving too much away. Thing is, I’ve been so busy lately I’ve barely had a chance to keep […]
moreGoodness. The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF) really crept up on me this year. I mean it started tonight and I still haven’t done my picks. Damn. I’d better get to it.
