Limitless 3.5/5 Limitless is an interesting and thought provoking film, once it was under way all I could think about was wanting to take what Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) was taking. He is our central character and we first meet him at a low point in his life. He is a struggling out of work … Continue reading

Trust
3.5/5 I have to admit, I am a sucker for drama’s like this. Perhaps that is why I am an avid watcher of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I find it equally as disturbing as I do fascinating when dealing with these sorts of issues. Trust is about a 14 year old girl named … Continue reading
Mini Reviews: Love And Other Drugs and The Dilemma
Love And Other Drugs 3.5/5 I am not the biggest fan of the rom/com genre, however occasionally a film of the sort comes along and it plays it a little differently and it doesn’t feel like the same film. Love And Other Drugs was that for me, while it still had some of those typical … Continue reading
Kung Fu Panda 2 (Review by Logan J Fowler)
My experience with the first Kung Fu Panda has a sentimental story behind it. When one of my students was departing for good from the daycare I was working in, his goodbye gift was a brand new DVD copy of his favorite movie, Kung Fu Panda. I watched instantly when I got home, and I … Continue reading
X-Men: First Class (Review by Gareth Mitchell)
A rare thing in modern Hollywood cinema – the prequel that adds to a franchise instead of using gimmicky fanbaiting to make a quick buck. X-Men: First Class steps away from the established story and characters from the four existing films to reset the clock back 40 years to tell the story of Professor X … Continue reading
Insidious
4/5 Before I start with this review, I am going to just let you the readers know that I believe this is a film best seen with as little knowledge about it as possible. With that in mind I am going to keep this vague on the plot and hopefully I won’t spoil too much. … Continue reading
Thor Review (By Logan J Fowler)
With The Avengers movie a year and change away, Marvel Studios is churning out the origin flicks this summer with movies featuring two of the team’s big names. The first one up is Thor. Hollywood had a difficult task here; how to have audience connect with the character? Thor is not like other superheroes, as … Continue reading
Source Code
4/5 Source Code is the second feature length directorial effort from Duncan Jones, the man who gave us 2009’s Moon and my personal pick for the best film of that year. The film doesn’t stray to far from what we’ve seen from Jones, this is a sci-fi film with some pretty fantastic ideas and concepts. … Continue reading
Scream 4
3.5/5 Scream 4 takes place a good 10 years after the 3rd installment, where we find it is the anniversary of the original blood bath and Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has returned to Woodsboro. She is promoting her new book, and all of this seems to spark a brand new terror with bodies starting to … Continue reading
Foo Fighters Back and Forth
5/5 Do you like the Foo Fighters? Do you like documentaries? If you answered yes, then quite simply this film is for you. Back and Forth chronicles the beginnings of the band through to their latest album Wasting Light. We hear from basically everyone who had some kind of input with the band, and taking … Continue reading
Wake Up
5/5 Every so often a film comes along that completely changes the way you feel about your own life and thinking, and it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Wake Up is that film for me, and it is true to the title, I felt like I did ‘wake up’ so to speak. … Continue reading
F*cking Åmål (Show Me Love)
5/5 “Why didn’t I see this when I was 15?” is what went through my mind a mere 20 minutes into this film. Fucking Åmål is a film that captures teenage life in such a way it feels so real and natural. Writer/Director Lukas Moodysson some how manages to create this interesting and relatable story … Continue reading
Vse umrut, a ya ostanus (Everybody Dies But Me)
4.5/5 Vse umrut, a ya ostanus (Everybody Dies But Me) is a Russian film by director Valeriya Gay Germanika (who is my age) and written by Yuri Klavdiyev and Aleksandr Rodionov. It centers on three high school girls who are around 14 years old Katya, Vika and Zhanna, who we see are excited for a … Continue reading
I Spit On Your Grave (2010)
3.5/5 I Spit On Your Grave (2010) is a remake (review of the original film here), it promised to be much more violent than the original. Well in a way yes it really is, but it kind of went backwards in regards to the first half. I am not entirely sure the original film really … Continue reading
