The traditional comedy actor isn’t even the best thing about 21 Jump Street. The two best actors in the whole film are actually Channing Tatum and Ice Cube. Jonah Hill is very good and delivers the lines well, throws himself … Continue reading 21 Jump Street (2012) Re-View
I didn’t expect a lot from the Penguins of Madagascar. I’d never been a huge fan of the original Madagascar films, finding the jokes to be a bit simple, the stories repetitive and the characters a bit dull. That being … Continue reading Penguins of Madagascar (2014) Review
A lot of people really rate Ben Wheatley and the films he has produced so far but I just can’t count myself among them. It isn’t that I think his films are bad, it is just that I don’t “get … Continue reading Sightseers (2012) Review
On paper, The Conjuring seems to be a run-of-the-mill horror film that will rely on the same usual premise, based around jump-scares, long-haired spirits and a slow-building but ultimately quite disappointing finale. It is quite refreshing that The Conjuring actually … Continue reading The Conjuring (2013) Review
No trailer had me more excited for a movie this year than the one for Paddington. This was a complete surprise as you can imagine because I’d never been a huge fan of the bear in the red hat and blue … Continue reading Paddington (2014) Review

What I hadn’t realised is that subtly, the first two movies had created a world, characters and developing story that had much … Continue reading The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014) Review
I really worry for the future of the Hunger Games franchise. The first film really surprised me. I expected a rip-off of Battle Royale, toned down and aimed at the young adult market. Instead the movie presented a great satire on … Continue reading The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) Review
Blackfish is a scary movie. Not in the traditional sense, where a demonic force continues to harass or torment or a serial killer chases attractive woman around large houses, but in a way that is much more jarring. Blackfish is scary … Continue reading Blackfish (2013) Review
Interstellar suffers from overreaching with it’s grand idea. It tries to be very clever and make a bold statement. There is nothing wrong with this but when it is realised and executed as poorly as it is here, you end … Continue reading Interstellar (2014) Review
