Tim Burton and Johnny Depp working together again, is anyone getting tired of this? Me neither.
|
 |
In 1984 James Cameron wowed the world with the cutting edge technology and iconic imagery in The Terminator. Twenty-five years later and he’s done it again with Avatar
|
 |
In true documentary style we watch as the contestants prepare for the show, the setup of the auditorium and the aftermath, each with talking head character interviews and lots of shots of the beautiful dogs.
|
 |
She is a ballerina who has always been a reliable performer, but too good, too sweet, too innocent.
|
 |
When filming back in 1982 the film suffered from a number of pressures, an imminent strike by Hollywood technicians forced them to rush completion which should have relieved pressure after many of the production crew were fatigued by long shoots.
|
 |
From a skit on the popular US entertainment show Saturday Night Live to a silver screen epic featuring one of the greatest car chases of all time, Jake and Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers, rock and roll, shake and shimmy and do the monkey in a truly iconic movie.
|
 |
For the amount of comedic and acting talent that is on board this ship, Ifans, Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Darby, Nick Frost, there is nothing to dig ones teeth into, no meaty relationships, nothing to endure you to these characters.
|
 |
Starting out as a sketch on ‘Da Ali G Show’, Sacha Baron Cohen created Borat, a television reporter and celebrity from Kazakhstan whose grasp of English language and fundamentals gets him in spots of bother.
|
 |
There are some great set pieces in it such as the Mini chase through the streets and the choreography is first rate however I felt the story dragged and just like Bourne himself, didn’t deliver the answers I was looking for.
|
 |
Why did Clash fail so badly? The premise was promising yet the story actually doesn’t deliver anything.
|
 |
There is a lot going on in the movie, lots of sides with different viewpoints each confusing you as to who is in control and who is misleading.
|
 |
beautifully shot, there is a lot of intense action, the acting is sublime, even if Batman does suffer from the deep voice time to time. This isn’t your regular superhero movie, this isn’t even a superhero movie although it does feature a man in a cape.
|
 |
There is no need, the narrative already explained that he was unstable, we don’t need to be spoon fed every time he does something that might tip him over the edge.
|
 |
the film is an enjoyable journey that doesn’t fall victim to the gross-out style of humour that has plagued our screens in the past few years
|
 |
What it lacks on plot and dialogue it makes up for in explosions and fight sequences.
|
 |
Standout performance from Seth Rogen taking on several roles was one of the greatest things about this movie until William Shatner steps out of the shadows.
|
 |
The film is harmless fun, not award winning comedy, not gross out humour but pure entertainment that you get so rarely from films in this genre today.
|
 |
The film isn’t going to blow you away with action or special effects, but the performance from Murray and witnessing his shift, his change in attitude as he struggles to deal with being forever stuck in a never ending loop really draws you in to the drama.
|
 |
This was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival with many studios bidding on it however try as it might, the film lacks any punch and suffers from lack of humour.
|
 |
It is a sorry state of affairs when the outtakes during the end credits make you laugh more than anything in the film
|
 |
After the original trilogy they always said they’d only do another if the story was right, and nearly twenty years later, they believed they had it.
|
 |
Perhaps however it wasn’t the film, perhaps it was director Quentin Tarantino whose latest release, ‘Inglourious Basterds’ made me think about film like I hadn’t before.
|
 |
It’s not hard to understand why this was a success, the performances are top notch, the story doesn’t drop off and the direction from Jon Favreau brings it all together.
|
 |
Millionaire playboy Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is dying, by his own hand. The Iron Man suit he uses to effectively globalise world peace is actually killing him, poisoning his blood.
|
 |
Jaws has been voted as one of the greatest movies of all time several times over. John William’s score won an Oscar and it alone can define this masterpiece.
|
 |
Hilariously entertaining, brutally violent, this movie does exactly what it says on the tin. It kicks ass!
|
 |
Incredible performances, wonderfully shot and a story that weaves in and out, LA Confidential is one of the greatest movies ever made.
|
 |
You can expect limbs to be hacked off, women to be exploited and a penchant for the ridiculous
|
 |
Everything happens in such short moments seen each year. The idea is interesting, however it just doesn’t seem to pan out correctly.
|
 |
I’ve been waiting for Rogen and Franco to work together again since ‘Freaks & Geeks’ and they don’t disappoint here. Bringing the man-love you’d see in Rogen and writing partner Evan Goldberg’s first movie ‘Superbad’, back to the big screen.
|
 |
The original movie staring Tom Jane and John Travolta underperformed in a market that is brimming with super hero flicks and it seems Punisher War Zone has done exactly the same.
|
 |
After the reboot Casino Royale gave the Bond franchise it should have been easy to Solace to follow, the footsteps were already there it was merely a matter of tracing them.
|
 |
Fair play to Kevin Smith for trying something different, many directors get pigeonholed into one genre or another, look at Emmerich for example
|
 |
In what was greatly hyped as Di Niro and Pacino teaming up together again, the first time since Heat, you could be forgiven for getting a little excited. The promise of two of Hollywoods greatest ever actors, together again after their last film which was widely acclaimed.
|
 |
I really didn’t think rebooting the Apes franchise was the right step to take. I was wrong.
|
 |
Based on the best selling Brian Lee O’Malley graphic novel, the movie appears to transcend the source material
|
 |
It’s scenes like these that really work in Shutter Island, blurring the lines between a visitor to an institution for the criminally insane and a patient.
|
 |
Whilst it may seem like another attempt from Hollywood to exploit something popular and for all our doubts going in, The Social Network surprises us all.
|
 |
Does this make it a bad movie? Not really, it’ll keep you munching away at your popcorn and transfixed at what’s going on if not leaving you a little deaf when you walk out.
|
 |
There is a lovely scene where three goats are lined up on a bridge as bait for the troll but other than bringing back childhood memories it does little to offer a saving grace to the film.
|
 |
All of this substance leads to a very disappointing and unsatisfactory climax when the vampire “war” begins and ends in moments.
|
 |
This has to be one of the most expensive comedy movies made, the special effects are incredible, sadly the rest of the film doesn’t match the explosions.
|
 |
It’s heart-warming, it’s tear-jerking, it’s what Pixar are best at and they once again deliver. The robots, intentionally, have more personality than the humans, able to deliver more with a slight movement than their fleshy counterparts could in a soliloquy.
|
 |
It’s been in development since the 1980′s. It has been called one of the most difficult adaptations to create.
|
 |
The Wrestler is the most surprising film you’ll see. Thinking about it as a subject matter you will think men in tights pretending to fight but the film goes beyond that.
|
 |
Fans of Kevin Smith may find this movie hard to take. Sure it’s still full of the ear chomping dialogue that Smith is famous for, there are a couple of familiar faces in Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson but there is something that just doesn’t sit right.
