After the drubbing Donald Clarke gave it on Cinerama the other week, I obviously ran straight out to the cinema to see The Expendables 2. I’d really enjoyed the first one and I had to know if they’d caused a car crash by trying the same joke twice. Nope.

The Bourne Legacy is in a bit of a conundrum. Basically it was a sequel that no-one wanted but most were still optimistic about.

Did you enjoy Step Up? How about Step Up 2: The Streets? or Step Up 3D?

There’s a lot to be said for knowing that this is the end. Too often blockbuster films are constructed to lead you down a merry path… right up to the point where they turn around, look you in the eye and say “Sequel? Maybe?”. We’ve all known from the start that this would be the […]

Who doesn’t like a film about male stripping? Actually, has there ever been a big film about male stripping before? Professional stripping like, not a bunch of fellas havin’ a laugh like in The Full Monty. Maybe there has, I don’t know. I’m not really up on male stripping films… or female ones for that […]

When is an Alien movie not an Alien movie? When it’s a sci-fi movie, it seems. In preparation for Prometheus I watched Alien, Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection during the week*.

It’s a testament to his prior work that I still call myself a Tim Burton fan. It’s been almost 10 years since he’s made a film that I can really say I liked. There have been films that were tolerable… films that were ok… but nothing actually… good.

I don’t think this is going to be a long one. I don’t know how motivated I can get about something I hate. I didn’t know anything about Charlie Casanova before I saw, but I had heard that some people didn’t like it. That kind of thing means nothing to me really, I’ll always watch […]

So. Four years and five movies and it’s all been leading up to this. (If you ignore all the planned sequels of course.)

film review: Battleship (2012)

No Comment

Whether or not you’ll like Battleship will be very much predicated on your ability to ignore rubbish. Your tolerance for nonsense, if you will… … Because, my oh my, is there a lot of rubbish in Battleship. If you can get past that then it’s all smooth sailing. Or not, as the case may be.
