[Review] The Wolverine (2013)

[Review] The Wolverine (2013)

There is no doubt that X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE left a pretty sour taste in the mouths of fans of the character, series and generally those who enjoy cinema. When a second WOLVERINE film was announced, many of us remained sceptical but had a gleam of hope as Darren Aronofsky was attached to direct. However that … Continue reading

[Review] The World’s End (2013) by Bede Jermyn

If you asked me to make a list of my favourite working directors today, Edgar Wright would definitely be on that list. I’ve absolutely loved everything that he directed that he has made so far and I’m always look forward to whichever film he brings out next. So I was definitely excited to check out his latest film, which … Continue reading

[Review] Before Midnight (2013)

[Review] Before Midnight (2013)

BEFORE MIDNIGHT was a rather inevitable film, especially after BEFORE SUNSET, not a bad thing at all as we now have the BEFORE trilogy. The story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) continues, 18 years after it first started, when they met on a train and experienced a life changing night. After their … Continue reading

[Review] Phantom (2013) by Daniel McIntosh

[Review] Phantom (2013) by Daniel McIntosh

I’m back with another review of another submarine movie. I love my submarine movies. Why? Well for the simple reason that because they are usually set inside a submarine means that the movie has to be sold on its story and the performance of the actors. Special effects are only a tiny part of the … Continue reading

[Review] Only God Forgives (2013)

[Review] Only God Forgives (2013)

Back in 2011 a film seemed to take everyone by surprise, that film was DRIVE. Since then it feels like we have all been waiting for director Nicholas Winding Refn’s next film, well ONLY GOD FORGIVES has arrived and this one is dividing audiences more than DRIVE did. This is a quiet film, about revenge, … Continue reading

[Review Rewind] Before Sunset (2004)

[Review Rewind] Before Sunset (2004)

BEFORE SUNSET picks up 9 years after BEFORE SUNRISE, where we meet Jesse (Ethan Hawke) now in his early 30’s, at the end of a book tour. He’s in Paris, and his book is a fictional account of the night he spent with Celine (Julie Delpy). As Jesse is finishing off his talk, he looks … Continue reading

[Review Rewind] Before Sunrise (1995)

[Review Rewind] Before Sunrise (1995)

How many of us have had that chance encounter with a stranger, meeting someone new and finding that instant connection? Life has these moments, it is something that everyone experiences, in some shape or form. BEFORE SUNRISE is the exploration of that meeting with a stranger, in this case on a train, and the evening/night/morning/ … Continue reading

[Review] This Is The End (2013)

[Review] This Is The End (2013)

THIS IS THE END is a film about the apocalypse as seen through the eyes of Seth Rogen and his group of friends. They are all playing versions of themselves, hanging out at James Franco’s Hollywood home. At first glance one might think this is a self-indulgent film, and in some ways it is, however … Continue reading

[Review] The Heat (2013)

[Review] The Heat (2013)

Buddy Cop films are a Hollywood comedy tradition, and if done right they can be extremely funny and entertaining. If done poorly you wind up with HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE, and that really isn’t the type you want to end up with. THE HEAT isn’t the best of the Buddy Cop films, however it doesn’t reach the … Continue reading
