Who says that men can’t multitask? I am sitting here writing a review of the Timur Bekmambetov cult classic film: Night Watch (Nochnoy dozor – 2004) whilst listening to a bit of Led Zeppelin. Similarly, one of the biggest issues for movie lovers is that most do not just watch the film (especially a DVD). [...]

What a great deal of films ignore in this day and age is chemistry. It is true that there are some exceptions. Mr and Mrs Smith (albeit predictable) starred two people (Jolie and Pitt) who simply had the right sparks flying. It is important then, to consider some classic films that show chemistry at [...]

Now for those diehard fans of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo) it might be best to avert your eyes. This iconic movie (with that very iconic soundtrack) is honoured with a 100% positive review rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Of the 49 reviews counted, every single one of [...]

In the last 3 months, the world has been inundated with promotional trailers and interviews for the film Wanted. This is Timur Bekmambetov’s 8th film following the reportedly excellent Nightwatch series. It has become clear from the promotional bumph that this film included some quite interesting effects showing bullets being bent and lots of silly [...]

Yet another film and yet another desperate time in New York City / Los Angeles / any other city in the world as long as it’s in the U.S. Yes that’s right, we in the last few months of 2008 are introduced to Ed Norton as a potentially angry man, Robert Downey Jr. as a [...]

Well another two years have gone by since the mediocrity that was Lady in the Water and M. Night Shyamalan has made another film to confuse and baffle us all. Let’s look at the legendary director’s history. He started with The Sixth Sense which amazed us with its fantastic twist. Unbreakable followed this fine film [...]

When I say the word Titanic, you’ll think of the sunken ship, of 1912 or a few films that portrayed this (and subsequent) events. Okay, you may think of a naked Kate Winslet and be two steps away from being a pervert. What you will not think of is a miniseries starring Catherine Zeta Jones, [...]

I enjoy a good Disney film. Yeah? What of it: you got a problem? Wanna take this outside? Ahem. Anyway being assured of my masculinity, I enjoy their animated features. I also have enjoyed all of their collaborations with Pixar (yes even Cars). Normally, I would leap at the chance to watch a good Disney, [...]

This is an unusual one, but I felt I must review every film worth mentioning. The german made (and subtitled) film “Security”, written and directed by Lars Henning and starring Peter Kurth and Susanna Rozkosny is a hidden gem. This diamond in the rough though is only 13 minutes long and you are able to [...]

I must admit that watching Gone Baby Gone made me uncomfortable. Bear in mind that the book that this movie is based on was published in 1998. Then look at the victim of the movie: a young girl abducted named Amanda McCready (actress’s name: Madeleine O’Brien). This whole film (and assumedly, book) seems like an [...]

In truth, the first time I had heard that there was to be a cg film named Kung Fu Panda I had assumed that it would be a childlike retelling of the Chris Farley film Beverly Hills Ninja. This was confirmed to me when first seeing the teaser trailers. It was possible though that this [...]

There is something wrong with me! Why do I get the utmost pleasure out of watching awful films? Also, why does my writing become so dull when I like something? (Case and point: Monster Camp. I thought it was a great documentary, but to read it you wouldn’t think so). Nevertheless, I strive ever forward [...]

Now imagine for a second that you are Andy Tennant. Don’t know who he is? (You’re not alone. He is the man responsible for directing Hitch (starring Will Smith) and Sweet Home Alabama (starring Reese Witherspoon). So, you decide to cast a Scotsman, an Englishman and lots of Americans. You are then given the opportunity [...]

I am a sucker for punishment. Today I sat down and watched a Jennifer Love Hewitt film. Now maybe you Americans have some clue as to who Jennifer Love Hewitt is and why she is famous, but I do not! Yes, I know she stars in Ghost Whisperer: a TV series that looks so bad, [...]
