No More Avatar!!

OK, I think I’m maybe the only person in the world that hated Avatar, but I detested every second ofthe self-indulgent rubbish. The whole thing wasn’t so much a movie as a chance for James Cameronto play around with 3D cameras. It seems like plot, characterisation and especially script weresecondary considerations to how cool it was going to look. Some of the lines were so bad I foundmyself laughing out loud, to the confusion of everyone around me. Those two More

The Expendables

An action movie that starred Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke and Terry Crews would surely have to be the best action movie of all time wouldn’t it? Sadly, no. I walked into this one thinking that if it was done in a tongue-in-cheek style, then it could be quite funny because, let’s face it, these guys aren’t getting any younger, how could they possibly take themselves so seriously? I also had small hopes More

Notting Hill

Notting Hill is one of the ’absolute classics’. In fact, say that short phrase in a lilting Welsh accent and people will know that you’re quoting the film’s affable Spike, flatmate of Hugh Grant’s character, William Thacker. And it’s one of those films which, once you’ve seen it a few times, provides an extraordinary number of brilliant quotes.
Apart from the volume of sound-bites, there are a few factors which make this such a great film, the strength of the More

Repo Men

Repo men is a science fiction thriller taking place in the near future -directed by Miguel Sapochnik and starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. Full of action and complicated scenes, the movie promises great deal of adventures and a mixture of battle scenes and moral consclusions.

Released in March 2010, the movie gathered much of the film fans love and became a leading production in the new season’s cinema. The plot is centred around the future of mankind -a future More

Flightplan-an explosive thriller

On Saturday night I flicked through the channels to find that one of my favourite movies was on. I’d watched Flightplan once before and loved it, so I was happy to watch it again, a change from all the revising that dominated my days at the moment. It was a great film, with an interesting plotline, and an explosive ending.

Jodie Foster takes on the role as Kyle Pratt, who is a propulsion engineer and knows her airplanes as well More

‘An American Werewolf in London’.

In 1981, director John Landis released one of the greatest British horror movies ever. It was called, ‘An American Werewolf in London’ and it quickly became enormously popular amongst cinemagoers.

It was an unfortunate fact that werewolves had always looked rather naff in movies. The first attempt at the subject had been 1941’s, ‘The Wolf Man’ (great for its time) and most subsequent hairy-lunatic films had been created by the Hammer/Amicus studios. The werewolf was a great movie monster, but More

Collision Course: Shutter Island

The little known Jacob’s Ladder starring an excellent Tim Robbins was a great horror film. For several reasons. Firstly, it effortlessly blurred and bent the line between reality and the kind of dream-like state that makes sweat spring from your body when you wake in the night, overpowered by a terrifying nightmare you’re sure really happened. Secondly, it pulled off what all films, no matter what genre, struggle to do: uncover a truth at the end that makes everything More

The Hobbit

Ever since the release of ’The Fellowship of the Ring'in 2001, and the accolades that movie and its predecessors, ’The Two Towers'and ’Return of the King’, won in the following years, there have been many millions of eager Tolkien fanatics waiting for the decision that a big screen version of ’The Hobbit'would be made.

Fans need wait no longer. For the last year or so there has been news that the Hobbit will be translated into a film and it More
