It’s worth mentioning that I haven’t seen the original Carrie so this review can’t be a comparison of the two. That being said, this movie does strike me as a film trying to do something new without really achieving anything … Continue reading Carrie (2013) Review
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

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
