Looking for info on Horrorthon 2012? Have a look at my picks for Horrorthon 2012 here. Yes yes, it’s that time of year again. Time for the annual IFI Horrorthon Film Festival! As big a horror fan I am, last year was actually the first time I went along to it. Pretty poor showing from […]

Here 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.*

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 […]

As 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 […]

Those who know me – or follow the blog on facebook or twitter – will know that I’m a big fan of Jason Statham. So much so that I bought my 2010 office Secret Santa gift-receiver* a Jason Statham calender because he once said he liked one of his flms. Damnit, Statham’s just plain cool. […]
