Dredd is easily the most underrated genre movie produced in recent years. A visually stunning and faithful adaptation of the ultra-violent comic book series. Far in the future America is a irradiated wasteland, the countries entire populous is now crammed and choking inside concrete jungles. Huge cities, principally Mega City One, are rife with crime and…
Saga Review: James Bond (No.15 – No.16)
That’s right, with Skyfall releasing later this year I am opting to give you my thoughts on all of the Bond films! There’s twenty-two films, and when I started this challenge there were twenty-two weeks before Skyfall, sounds good to me! I grew up in the six year drought of Bond films, between the Dalton and Brosnen Eras,…
Tribute Review: Tony Scott
Less than two weeks ago director Tony Scott passed away, and Hollywood lost one of its better contributors, a director whose films felt kinetic and real in an era of visual effects and padding. His films were often style over substance, and while his older brother Ridley Scott often directed cerebral movies, his films were…
Review: Haywire
A somewhat simple, cookie-cutter action thriller but with enough style and a strong female protagonist to make it unique. Haywire follows the story of Mallory Kane, a black ops undercover operative working for the Government, when her life it turned upside down after being betrayed by those around her. The film is extremely simple, you…

Saga Review: Batman
Possibly one of the most iconic, well received and respected “superheroes” created, Batman’s success is thanks to the relatively down-to-Earth nature of the character, a billionaire with a taste for vengeance, with training and a lot of gadgets.It is the villains that broaden Batman’s scope, and are always the most interesting and mesmerising elements in any story….

Trilogy Review: Men in Black
Men in Black You know, when this came out in 1997 I loved it, yet shamefully I have not watched it for years; this film is great! Based off a Marvel Comic (originally Malibu comics) Men in Black follows a New York cop who is enlisted into a secret organisation assembled to protect the public from…
Saga Review: Alien
The Alien franchise has to be one of my favourites, and I am always excited to have an excuse to rewatch them all, and what better excuse than a new film to be added to the series! Yes, I am off to see Ridley Scott’s Prometheus shortly, and so I have made a Saga Review of…
