film review: Chronicle (2012)

February 4, 2012 // 5 Comments

There was a plethora of new film releases this week, from a raft of genres, but on paper, this is the one I was most interested in.

In Time is the latest film from writer/director Andrew Niccol, who wrote and directed Gattaca. I love Gattaca. Really, it’s one of my top 10 films. So obviously this meant I had fairly high hopes for In Time. Not massively high because well, S1m0ne was a bit of a strange one and I’d heard pretty […]

film review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

July 14, 2011 // 4 Comments

I am a fan of the Transformers films. I even liked the second one. Yes, it’s true, and I know I’ve lost some of you already… but you know what? I just like seeing giant robots beating each other up on a huge screen. So sue me. Ok. Possibly, I may have given Revenge of […]

film review: Sucker Punch (2011)

April 4, 2011 // No Comment

You remember when I said the trailer for Sucker Punch had everything but the kitchen sink in it? Yeah. Turns out the kitchen sink was sense. This was not as phenomenal a mess as The Spirit but it did have a few extra touches of outlandishness that only Zack Snyder is brave enough to throw […]

You 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 […]

film review: Splice (2010)

August 16, 2010 // No Comment

It’s been a while since I wrote a review. I feel bad about this. I’m sure you’ve missed my endless waffling about topics wholly irrelevant to the films in question. Never fear though! I’m back… Splice was one of those films that sounded interesting enough to take note of but not interesting enough to actually […]

film review: Daybreakers (2010)

January 19, 2010 // 2 Comments

When I talked about Daybreakers the other week I mentioned that, although I thought it looked great, I was a bit concerned about the fact that I’d never heard of the writer/directors – Michael and Peter Spierig. Turns out I had reason to be concerned. Daybreakers really had the potential to be a good film. […]

film review: Avatar 3D (2009)

December 17, 2009 // 11 Comments

There is only one film worth seeing in the cinema this week. Avatar. Well, if we are to believe the hype anyway. Personally, I had been rather apprehensive about this whole Avatar business. I can’t remember the last time a film promised so much (well… maybe Snakes on a Plane but that was really a […]

film review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

June 18, 2009 // 7 Comments

Just to be clear about things. I loved Transformers. I know there are people who didn’t like the first one, to those people I say… don’t bother watching this one. If, like me, you thought that the first film was the most fun you’ve had in the cinema in years, then read on. Transformers: Revenge […]
