Brave (2012) Review

April 8, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

A certain expectation, and maybe stigma, comes with any Disney film. There are always positives, particularly with the early, animated films. The songs are great, the animation is always groundbreaking and the stories, even those that are retelling of familiar … Continue reading Brave (2012) Review

Lie to Me (Season 2) TV Review

April 3, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

With a “gimmick” as unique and consequently fragile as Lie to Me’s, you have to make a decision very quickly as to what direction your series will take next. There is only so much you can do with the great … Continue reading Lie to Me (Season 2) TV Review

Take Shelter (2011) Review

April 2, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

Sometimes a film works so much better because it is an independent film with an independent budget. It would have been very easy to give this film a slightly bigger budget, changing the “end of the world” visions that the … Continue reading Take Shelter (2011) Review

Girls (Season 2) TV Review

March 27, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

Because I review a whole tv series rather than individual episodes, there is a chance of spoilers, so if you haven’t watched the whole series yet, stop reading now! It tells you a lot about Girls that the characters I … Continue reading Girls (Season 2) TV Review

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) Review

March 25, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

Some films are very similar to those that have gone before, following the same story, based in the same setting, played out by the same type of characters, but manage to stand-out because of the performances. The Perks of Being … Continue reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) Review

The Hunger Games (2012) Review

March 24, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

Low expectations can go a long way to improving how you view a film. They also have the alternate effect, but for Hunger Games, I was definitely thinking that it was going to be a soft, teen-aimed, love-affair set in … Continue reading The Hunger Games (2012) Review

Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge (Season 1) TV Review

March 20, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

Because I review a whole tv series rather than individual episodes, there is a chance of spoilers, so if you haven’t watched the whole series yet, stop reading now! Britain has the greatest television comedy characters ever. As long as … Continue reading Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge (Season 1) TV Review

Tootsie (1982) Review

March 18, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

Dustin Hoffman is a dark-horse legendary actor. I think most people, not necessarily film fans, would struggle to name a Dustin Hoffman film but would definitely recognise him as a legend. You ask someone to name a Robert De Niro movie … Continue reading Tootsie (1982) Review

50/50 (2011) Review

March 15, 2013May 25, 2014 Ben

It was always going to be difficult making a comedy out of a subject like cancer. It’s a difficult balancing act; you don’t want to make the subject too light, not taking the sensitive subject of cancer seriously. Alternatively, you … Continue reading 50/50 (2011) Review

Derek (Season 1) TV Review

March 13, 2013May 26, 2014 Ben

There was a time when I used to think Ricky Gervais could do no wrong. I love The Office, Extras was a fantastic follow-up and his first few stand-ups are great too. They are all a testament to how good a … Continue reading Derek (Season 1) TV Review
