I don't think there's ever been an instance where I've soldiered on through a film and found that the finale made up for a limp opening. If it starts bad, it's almost certainly going to end bad. I've...

Though I don't post often anymore, I thought I was firmly in the camp of 'what a load of boring toss' when it comes to his output. I can't bear the thought of watching Hidden again.

Prior to what you may think, the world did in fact end in 2012. It ended because I enjoyed a Michael Haneke film. I enjoyed it so much I declared it the best film I'd seen all year. And I wasn't...

9/10

Great action film, the kind you rarely see these days. Loadsa bonus points for having strong female characters and managing to get away with keeping Dredd one-dimensional.

I'd argue that's because David as a character is not meant to visibly express much emotion. Fassbender's accent tends to slip in more verbally expressive scenarios.

I came to the conclusion a few years ago that there's arguably no such thing as a guilty pleasure, as no one ever seems to feel too guilty about getting pleasure from it. This was mainly when I was...

Adapting just about any pre-existing Batman comic is a bad idea. Even more standalone stuff like The Killing Joke utilises the vast extended universe that is established in the comic timeline. For...

Aren't Nolan's Batman flicks already a reboot?

In theory it's a very easy concept. Nolan's films are decidedly more realistic than most superhero films, and this is what set them apart from...

This had a cinema showing by me about two weeks ago, and I've been in a good mood ever since. One thing I never quite noticed though was the sheer decadence of Bob Morton's pad. The man has five tv's...

Man, I don't tend to like many things these days. This is another notch on that stump of a bedpost.

Nah, there's still some class stuff being shown on the channel. They repeated A Town Called Panic on Thursday, an action worthy of the gods.
