Battleship? More like a Sub… …with ham and cheese! Am I right? Following the success of the Transformers film franchise, Hasbro runs its finger down the index of toy licenses they own and inexplicably land on the Battleship board game. The film follows a young man drafted into the Navy in a bid to get…

Review: Tetsuo – The Iron Man
So people have asked me, what do I find disgusting or horrific in horror films? You know by now that I roll my eyes at the Saw series, and positively chuckled through Hostel, and for the most part nothing has freaked me out as much as old films and television shows I watched when I…
Review: Looper
A unique, stylish, modern science fiction thriller that keeps you interested without exaggerating it toys but involving you with its characters. The film is set in the near future where Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, in his hundredth appearance in film this year!) works as a “looper”, an assassin who kills people sent back in time from…
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…
Review: Avengers Assemble (2D)
There are four films this year I am banking on being at the top of my list and Avengers Assemble was the lesser. My god this is going to be a good year for movies! Marvel Studios colossal gamble in combining four of their major comic brands into one film was subject to feeling clustered…
Review: The Hunger Games
I’m afraid to say it, but The Hunger Games left me starved of intrigue and commitment. Jumping on the Lord of the Rings > Harry Potter > Twilight bandwagon, the film is based off a series of popular books (that I hadn’t heard of until the film arrived) and follows a young girl sent into…
Review: THX 1138
Oh George, I go looking for your redemption in the years before your obsession… only to find more unnecessary CGI tinkering! Yes, before Star Wars and before American Graffiti young director George Lucas had a powerful collaboration with executive producer Francis Ford Copolla and composer Lalo Schifrin to create his first feature film, THX 1138. In a…
Saga Review: Star Wars
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… One man had a vision, a vision that even he didn’t realise would become so popular, a story and universe not yet told in the history of cinema. George Lucas, a young an optimistic film maker, best friends with Steven Spielberg, became one of the…
