4.5/5 I went into this film not knowing anything about it, just that it was British and it featured Michael Fassbender, I had not even seen a trailer but I had seen some good ratings around the forums I frequent so I thought I would give it a shot. I am sure glad I did, … Continue reading →

2/5 I sat watching this and I just thought, what in the world is this? A mess? Unfortunately yes it is a huge mess. What went wrong? I think this had some potential to be quite good, a bit of a musical and something fun, but it was anything but that. The film is about … Continue reading →

2.5/5 I’ll get straight to the point, this really isn’t a very good film. It really is style over substance big time, and if they actually went into developing the substance more it would have made for a good social commentary piece, as there is a lot to say there but they really didn’t go … Continue reading →

4.5/5 This is a film I wish I had not waited so long to see, much like with another Shane Meadows film (Dead Man’s Shoes) I really wanted to see it. However I waited, and waited and I felt I really needed to be in the right mood to watch it. So several years after … Continue reading →

4/5 The children’s book of the same name by Maurice Sendak is a strange one to actually make into a film. But Spike Jonze has done it, and I for one really liked it. I read the book quite often in Primary School and unfortunately I have not read it since then so it is … Continue reading →

5/5 The directorial debut from Duncan Jones, starring Sam Rockwell is easily my top film of 2009. This film blew me away, now I expected to really like this film but I didn’t expect it to be this fantastic. So what is it you might ask that is so fantastic about this film that I … Continue reading →

4/5 What happens when a crazy disease turns people into zombies? Well you’ve seen many films like this before, but nothing quite like Zombieland. I mean zombie films usually have the same kind of formula, people turn into the living dead, they want to eat you, need to survive and get away from them. I … Continue reading →

3.5/5 This is a film that has been sitting on the shelf for two years, it was supposed to be released back in 2007 theatrically however the powers that be shelved it. This seems to happen more often then not, and with it’s impending DVD release I had heard a lot about it, mostly from … Continue reading →

4/5 I am sure you have all heard of this film, it was in the middle of production when Heath Ledger passed away. The film’s future remained in doubt without Heath but Terry Gilliam got himself a few replacements and completed the film. So how did the last film of Heath Ledger hold up? For … Continue reading →
