film review: Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012)

I don’t know if I’m a fan of LCD Soundsystem. They were a good band, All My Friends is an amazing track and I’m pretty sure I saw them down at Electric Picnic in 2007…

film review: The Bourne Legacy (2012)

The Bourne Legacy is in a bit of a conundrum. Basically it was a sequel that no-one wanted but most were still optimistic about.

It’s a testament to his prior work that I still call myself a Tim Burton fan. It’s been almost 10 years since he’s made a film that I can really say I liked. There have been films that were tolerable… films that were ok… but nothing actually… good.

Bel Ami Or: The One Where Robert Pattinson Tries to Appeal to Women Over the Age of 30. Or at least I think that’s what he’s trying to doing, I’m not sure.

film review: J. Edgar (2011)

January 22, 2012 // 1 Comment

I never knew that much about J. Edgar Hoover, beyond the fact that he was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that he was rather controversial. That really was pretty much it. In preparation for this film then, I decided to read up a bit. He was actually a fascinating character… you […]

film review: In Time (2011)

November 15, 2011 // 5 Comments

In Time is the latest film from writer/director Andrew Niccol, who wrote and directed Gattaca. I love Gattaca. Really, it’s one of my top 10 films. So obviously this meant I had fairly high hopes for In Time. Not massively high because well, S1m0ne was a bit of a strange one and I’d heard pretty […]

Have you ever watched a film and thought; I’ve seen this all before? Have you ever watched a film which tells you; You’ve seen this all before? Have you ever watched a film which tells you; You’ve seen this all before, in the films that came before this one in the series? Does that sound […]

film review: The Kids Are All Right (2010)

November 1, 2010 // No Comment

A week or two ago I tweeted an interesting article from Awards Daily discussing some of the early contenders in the Oscar race for Best Lead Actress. Thankfully it looks like this year is going to be a much better year for women than last year and one of the movies that’s providing a lot […]

film review: Paranormal Activity (2009)

December 9, 2009 // 2 Comments

Well technically Paranormal Activity came out in 2007 but it only got a cinema release in 2009, so (2009) it is. Not that it matters but anyway… better get on with this. The force is strong with this one. Umm… the Paramount marketing force that is. This is apparently now the most profitable movie of […]
