It’s difficult to understand how Tropic Thunder could possible become any more politically incorrect.
Ben Stiller plays a fading action star that tries to kickstart his serious acting career by playing “Simple Jack”, only to fail because he goes “full retard and you should never go full retard!”
Robert Downey Jr. plays an oscar winning method actor [...]
One of the good things about being off work is you get to go to the cinema during the day when it is practically empty and only costs £3.45 to see a film. I didn’t really fancy Bangkok Dangerous, mostly because of Nicolas Cage. I read a review of a film of his some years [...]
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was cool. Snatch was good. Revolver is a great, and totally underrated film, but RocknRolla is complete class. It’s an 11 out of 10. Guy Ritchie has done an awesome job with this film. It’s a combination of gruesome, clever, funny and stupid. All the cast are great, but [...]
I went to see Babylon A.D. at the weekend. On the whole the film wasn’t too bad.
Vin Diesel is exactly what you would expect if you’ve seen any of his other films. Michelle Yeoh is in it, which means it’s worth going to see if only so see her.
The fight sequences lack clarity. It’s pretty [...]
It was a bank holiday weekend in the UK, so I went to the Cinema a couple of times. I had already seen Hellboy II: The Golden Army in the week, so my choices were a little limited…
Start Wars: The Clone Wars: I was expecting this to be really bad, but it was actually OK. [...]
I’ve been waiting for Hellboy II: The Golden Army for quite a while and it didn’t dissapoint. I like the characters, it looks good and above all it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Like the first film, it’s not without its faults, but overall I thought it was cool. After some of the recent film dissapointments, [...]
I read some pretty damning reviews of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008), so my expectations were very low. This was a good thing because I came out thinking it was OK. I really do mean OK, not great or even good. Just OK.
The film takes itself far too seriously. There is some [...]
I feel a certain dread at posting this because I suspect I’m going to get numerous comments from haters, but I wasn’t all that impressed with The Dark Knight. It was overly long, a bit whiny and moralistic and definitely took itself too seriously. A movie should be more than the sum of it’s parts [...]
WALL-E is probably one of the most impressive CGI films I’ve ever seen. The first thing that struck me was how realistic everything looked. At times you could be fooled into thinking it was live action with a computer generated character superimposed. That’s Pixar Animation Studios for you. The second half of the film looks [...]
Appleseed Ex Machina is better in just about every way than its predecessor Appleseed. The animation is amazing, without trying to look too realistic. The story has much more depth and you come away feeling like you’ve watched a film, rather than a cartoon.
If you are a fan of Japanimation, give it a go.
Cheers
