It stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Jarhead) as Captain Colter Stevens, Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone) and Vera Farmiga (The Departed).

moreHere at Average Film Reviews, we’re big fans of Dwayne Johnson. I mean I saw Tooth Fairy. TOOTH FAIRY. And I didn’t even hate it… Because The Rock was in it. I’m not sure if we’re allowed call him The Rock any more but oh well.*
moreI 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 […]
moreAs you know, if you read my last review, I don’t really like watching trailers in general… but I do like to watch the first ones as they give you a flavour for the film without (generally) giving too much away. Thing is, I’ve been so busy lately I’ve barely had a chance to keep […]

I spy with my little eye…. some kind of alternate future / post-apocalyptic dystopia!

moreShockingly, I haven’t seen Grindhouse. Shocking because it seems like exactly the sort of film I would see. Unfortunately they decided to release Grindhouse in two seperate films, neither of which stayed around in the cinemas here very long so I missed them… I really should rent them some time. Anyway, in case you didn’t […]
moreBuried opens officially in Ireland this Friday (1st Oct) and I absolutely urge you to go and see it. I’ll write a full review during the week when more people have had a chance to see it; this is definitely one that you don’t really want to know about going it. All you really need […]
moreLot of talk about the upcoming horror film, Devil, at the moment. I have to admit… I really like the idea. A group of random people get trapped in a lift and spooky things happen… is one of them the Devil? Sounds cool. Simple but could be very effective. Course it might not be, but […]
