I read a few things about this before putting it on and feared a kind of similar experience to The Cheerleaders re: whether I would even end up reviewing it or not, lol. Let’s not delay the obvious here: this is one genuinely filthy movie. How it’s filthy, however – that really nee...

I couldn’t help thinking of Melody during this for some reason. There’s something terrifically quirky about its treatment of what amounts to a slightly feeble Lolita story that’s kind of irresistible from the off, the stuff at the start pondering the pornography Charles BronsonR...

Just to get the obvious comment out of the way first … shyeah, like I needed a movie to tell me this This is a documentary I’ve been looking forward to seeing for over a year now. The short form of this review, sadly, is: plenty of girls … not a lot of rockin’. I’m tryi...

“Yes. When the dead walk the earth – you gotta call the cops.” If I rated things based on expectations, this would honestly be nearly a 5 hearter for me. In honesty, as expected, the 3D is hokey – admittedly this was a home viewing and that’s never been the best place f...

Could this be the most reliable movie that the year has seen? I think so. This is the very definition of a star vehicle, in this case, for Ricky Gervais. You take a kind of movie that’s been done dozens of times before, in an exhaustive variety of styles (from the romantic Ghost to the nightma...

What to say of this one. As with Burn After Reading we have as many plus points as there are negatives. On the one hand this is an incredibly well made movie, I’m most inclined to compare it with Shane Meadows’ Dead Man’s Shoes or even his This is England which shared young Thomas ...

Okay, let’s try and get through all of these before Christmas and the New Year proceedings begin proper, hehe … This is one of those movies where I only realised just how conflicted I was approaching it as the opening credits rolled. On the one hand, the movie looked plain hideous to me ...

(Random aside, lol: I love how I just watched two movies back-to-back whose respective titles begin with Q and Z …) Well, I can’t complain much here. This is at least the kind of movie that I kind of like even if they’re awful – being as I am quite the Kevin Smith fan boy err...

Blech. It’s starting to annoy me now the number of movies this year are leaving me with precious little to say. This is really Batman Begins Lite, it takes Downey Jr. forever to get into the damn suit here and it’s marginally interesting for that time; and when he finally does get in the...

The adventures of a girl and her horse? Initiate biased mode ” ... when we’re riding, all I feel is free …” Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this production (outside of the bizarre boycotting story concerning apparent animal cruelty on the set? I’ll just leave th...
