Due to work, illness and an abnormal number of birthdays I’ve not managed to see that many films lately. Quarantine and Scar 3D passed my way and they have been reviewed also so I won’t dwell on these here. But I also managed to catch Tears of the Sun, a movie made way back in [...]

I finally got to watch Burn After Reading this week and what a great film it was. I’m a huge Coen Brothers fan and it’s good to see them back on form after the dip with Intolerable Cruelty and Ladykillers. After the amazing No Country For Old Men I was very enthusiastic to see this, [...]

Actually managed to get to the cinema at the weekend to finally see Valkyrie. Not my usual type of film admittedly, but I quite enjoyed it all the same. I wouldn’t say this was outside of my comfort zone, just that historical films aren’t usually my thing. This got me thinking as to how we all view cinema [...]

It is interesting when reading other peoples articles; it highlights how taste in films varies. Kirk for example who also writes on this blog doesn’t like horror movies, whereas I love a decent horror film, I think there is something addictive about being sat in your front room, cold, hard rain being driven into the windows, [...]

Oh crap, in writing the title for this, I’ve just noticed that it’s Friday the 13th! Now everything that goes wrong for the rest of the day will no longer be a result of random interactions of molecules, or the poor decisions made by individuals with free will, it’ll be because it’s Friday the 13th! Obviously there’d [...]

Les starts taking the drugs he begins to have some strange side effects namely that he begins to [...]

The Apple website has the following to say about “12” 12 characters. 12 truths. The story of 12 jurors discussing a verdict to pass on an 18 year old Chechen boy whether he is guilty of 1st degree murder of his step-father — an officer of the Russian army. The film thinks aloud about today’s [...]

Most foreign language films don’t do much for me, in fact with the exception of nightwatch I don’t think that there has been a foreign language movie that I have enjoyed for many a year, however I caught this trailer the other day and it seemed to draw me in. Let the right one in [...]

I love a good horror film but I think it is very difficult to be truly original within the genre. The Unborn is not something that I have heard of on any grapevine and there isn’t really any information to be gained about is quality in who made the film as Director David Goyer wrote [...]

All of us, at least all of us watching movies in the 1980’s know Jean Claude Van Damme, The Muscles from Brussels. He starred in many action flicks with sadly deteriorated in quality as time went on. He was pretty safe going when the world were into mindless action films. I have seem people slate [...]
