Sex & the City

Watch the trailer here
One piece of advice I’ll give to those who haven’t seen it yet (other than “Don’t read anymore of this, it’ll ruin it”) is if you’re used to watching the tv show at home with a drink in one hand and a fag in the other, you may want to find a [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Watch the trailer here
While all the papers seem to be screaming this week about how upset the Russians are over the new Indiana Jones film – Sergei Malinkovich, head of St. Petersburg Communist Party was rather unnecessarily quoted as saying: “It’s rubbish… In 1957 the communists did not run with crystal skulls throughout the US.” [...]

[REC]

…or yet another handheld horror film. This time it’s a news crew spending a night in a fire station that act as our window on the world. They get called out to help a woman trapped in a building – a building that’s being taken over by zombies! Aaah, yes more zombies. I [...]

Grindhouse

Watch trailer here

b) ‘Fargo’ is a FANTASTIC film.
Incase you’re not familiar with it, ‘Fargo’ (set in a real town) was written and directed by the Coen brothers, [...]

Cloverfield

Watch trailer here
First things first – if you think “I quite fancy seeing that, but I’ll just wait for the DVD…” – shut down your computer, and go get yourself on a seat right now. Certainly don’t finish reading this, as I’m about to tell you what I did and did not like about it, [...]

Sweeney Todd

Watch trailer here
Ah, it’s so easy to get swept up in the hype involving a new block-bustin’ movie that it almost feels like your fault when the hype proves to be a more moving experience than the actual film. Of which recent release do I speak? Unfortunately, it’s “Sweeney Todd“, a film I’ve been looking [...]
