Movie Review: A Nightmare On Elm Street

by David Schwartz

Freddy Krueger’s back – again, sort of, in a new remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street – so whatever you do, don’t fall asleep. Not because watching one the world’s best-loved child killers back on the big screen may induce some sleepless nights worrying about your own ironic death. But because debut director Samuel [...]

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day – DVD Review

by David Scarborough

Irish stereotypes: They will have us all believing that if our paddy friends aren’t pickling themselves in alcohol, they are furiously thrusting their fists in the general area of any indistinct bystander’s face. Of course, it’s all complete hogwash. The only Irish people we know are singers, and they generally make us drink excessively and [...]

The Stepfather – DVD Review

by David Scarborough

Horror remakes are the kind of subgenre that appear to be greenlit with reckless abandon but are approached, by everyone but a select lobotomised few, with nothing but sheer trepidation. They’re a scary prospect, these days. At least The Stepfather has the decency to eliminate the inconvenience of having to guess who the killer is [...]

2012: Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) ushers in another wave of pixel-powered doom, this time wiping out our collective brain cells with his latest movie of mass destruction. 2012 is one of those happy movies; on one hand, serving up a doom-laden prophecy of global annihilation and, on the other, making you utterly [...]

More Alice in Wonderland money in the Weekend Box Office

by Mof Gimmers

The cinema is a factory shop-floor of idiot workers munching popcorn whilst an all seeing eye pumps out words and images from a mondo moving eyeball leaving you pinned in your seats, noses flexing at the smell of BO and the disinfectant from the nearby bogs.

Zombieland – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Shuffling mindless droves, drooling, stumbling towards you with their vacuous black eyes – it’s not easy going out to the cinema these days. Luckily, Zombieland is one of those films that’ll pick-up a cult following on DVD (and Blu-ray), much like its main inspiration Shaun of the Dead. Shaun’s influence is as much admitted by [...]

Julie and Julia – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

Julie and Julia has all of the winning ingredients of your lady-happy chick-flick, mixed with some run-of-the-mill award baiting biographical gubbins and sprinkled with a couple of ‘it’ leads – but this recipe is overcooked. It’s hard to find a more likeable lady in Hollywood than Amy Adams, with the innocent twinkle in her eye [...]

Alice In Wonderland – Movie Review

by David Scarborough

Tim Burton drags us down the rabbit-hole kicking and screaming in this adaptation of the children’s book Alice In Wonderland, managing to take away any of the wonderment that many may have felt for this beloved tale. You would think that the pairing of Burton with Lewis Carroll‘s famous series would be a film of [...]

Michael Jackson’s This Is It – Blu-ray Review

by David Scarborough

So the Michael Jackson circus show still rages on after his death, with his body being wheeled out for morbid curiosity to be satisfied and for everyone to judge what his final shows would have been like, in the form of Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Of course, for all those fans that idolise at [...]
