review: Chronicle (2012)

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. Chronicle chronicles the story of three high school boys who find themselves with the somewhat unusual ability to move objects with their minds… or, you know, telekenisis. So [...]

review: Underworld: Awakening (2012)

Kate Beckinsale is back in her PVC catsuit, corset and leather jacket for the fourth installment of the Underworld series, Underworld: Awakening. Actually, I didn’t know she had gone, I checked out of this franchise after the first film. Not that I’d hated it or anything. As far as I recall. I think it was [...]

review: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1

My unplanned and unexpected fall into all things Twilight continues. Somehow I found myself at a midnight screening of the latest installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1. I still don’t know how it happened but it did. Of course, as I had mentioned in the post with clips and trailers of Breaking [...]

clips and trailers: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1

I have nothing against The Twilight Saga. I was just never that compelled to learn anything about it. All the girls I know would talk about the books and the whole Team Jacob and Team Edward thing – (It was decided I would likely be in Team Edward) – but I just wasn’t bothered. Then [...]

feature: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) – production video clips

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Now this is the one I’ve been waiting for. And it’s coming out on my birthday! Yay! I was never a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings novels growing up. Mainly because I never read them when I was growing up. I only read them just before the [...]

clips and trailers: Priest (2011)

Goodness! Priest is nearly upon us and I’ve only done one post on it… and that was months ago! Anyway yes, as I said in that post – alternate future? post-apocalyptic dystopia? I’m there. It’s my favourite genre of fiction. I don’t care if there’s vampires, cannibals, zombies or just a simple breakdown of civilisation. [...]

clips and trailers: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011)

And so it ends. Finally we are at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 It’s been a long journey. I think a lot of people won’t realise this, but the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was first published on 30th June 1997, 14 years ago. I kind think it’s a [...]

review: Sucker Punch (2011)

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 [...]

feature: Sucker Punch (2011)

I kinda get the impression that Zack Snyder’s one of those directors that some critics love to hate. He’s divisive. I had a look over on Metacritic and all his films got scores in the 50s from the critics… Yet they all got over 7 in the user ratings. The people like him. I like [...]

review: Alice in Wonderland (3D) (2010)

As I mentioned in my “releasing this week” article on Friday, I was really looking forward to seeing this film. Again I’ve been taught that I’m better off keeping my expectations low. It’s not that Alice in Wonderland is a bad film. Hehe, that’s probably my favourite phrase, I don’t like saying films are bad… [...]
