Movie Review: The A-Team

by David Schwartz

The A-Team is like Mr T himself: It may look and sound ridiculous, but it just works – sort of. Believe me, I really did not want director Joe Carnahan’s (Smokin’ Aces, NARC) movie revamp of the popular 80s TV show to work. It is an awful thing to admit, but I was actually looking [...]

Movie Review: Predators

by David Schwartz

Who would have thought predators had dogs? When I first saw one kick the living crap out of Arnie all those years ago, the last thing I thought was that we had something in common; something to chat about in the pub. That we both had furry friends. Sure, the dogs themselves have a face [...]

Extraordinary Measures – DVD Review

by David Scarborough

Extraordinary Measures is one of those movies you don’t see very often. That’s because they’re usually on telly at around 2pm on a weekday, while us normals are resenting the turd-headed followers who watch such weekday dross. It’s all pretty underwhelming stuff, all smiles from the physically crippled and cemented frowns from the theatrically crippled; it’s [...]

Double DVD Review: Edge of Darkness & American Dad Vol. 5

by David Scarborough

Bringing you your weekly DVD review goodness in a sickening double helping this week. We take a look at Mel Gibson’s latest relentless tirade, and that Seth MacFarlane cartoon about the family with the talking animal - no, not that one, the other one. Edge of Darkness has Mel Gibson returning to our screens as an [...]

Exam: Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

British cinema usually boils down to three distinct factions: Danny Boyle, Noel Clarke and Mike Leigh. It’s a shame to admit it, but if it isn’t a mediocre Indian drama dressed-up as ‘the feel-good film of the decade’, a streetwise yuff flick, or some depressing bafflement of funding, then it usually doesn’t get made. It [...]

Brothers: Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal look pretty similar, don’t they? That doe-eyed bulging apathy that seeps from their indistinct puff-gobs make them near gloomy twins. Gylenhaal even nearly replaced Maguire as Spiderman when producers thought that Peter Parker needed to mope around a bit more in the sequel. It’s little surprise that someone eventually paired [...]

Film Review: The Tooth Fairy

by Paul Pencott

There comes a time in the life of every muscle-bound action movie star when they have to reassess their chosen careers. The days of making a living resembling a sausage stuffed with knuckles and staring at bad guys with an expression that suggests they are in the middle of a problematic bowel-movement will not last [...]

Armored: Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Predators: that looks a decent film, doesn’t it? We’re all looking forward to watching the limp-wristed Adrian Brody holding a gun in an image akin to a Twiglit holding a cricket bat, right? What you probably didn’t realise is that the unfortunately named Nimrod Antel has recently honed his directing chops on Armored, which hits DVD [...]

Movie Review – Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time

by David Schwartz

It’s official! Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the best film ever to be adapted from a computer game. Sorry Kirby: Fright to the Finish!! fans. The problem is that that’s a plaudit on a level with being the best-looking EastEnders star, the least nightmarish member of the Dolmio Family or the twin [...]

Movie Review: Robin Hood

by David Schwartz

In true Robin Hood spirit, Ridley Scott has taken £237million from various rich people to make a very poor movie. Robin Hood? More like Rotten Hood. Rotten acting, rotten script, rotten idea, very rotten accents. In fact, Robin Hood is so bad, I have to confess I did something in a cinema that I have [...]
