Now back in 2009 the first G.I. Joe film came out and if you didn’t see it, I envy you because it was terrible and despite being universally hated, it unfortunately made enough money to warrant a sequel. So I’ll admit I wasn’t looking forward to seeing this. I mean it was supposed to come out last summer but was [...]

‘Jack the Giant Slayer’ Movie Review
Now if you haven’t noticed, over the past couple of years Hollywood have taken a liking to reworking childhood fairytales and while critically they’ve not had much love, financially some certainly have, so we might as well get used to it guys because this film definitely won’t be the last. Check out the video review below and let me know [...]
‘Welcome to the Punch’ Movie Review
Now pretty much as soon as I heard about this film, it reminded me of film I saw last year called The Sweeney, which was basically a cops and robbers thriller set in London that was trying so desperately hard to look like Hollywood blockbuster but it failed, miserably and the reason for that is we British just can’t seem [...]
‘Oz: The Great and Powerful’ Movie Review
I remember watching the Wizard of Oz when I was younger and despite being absolutely terrified of the flying monkeys, every time it was on telly I would always watch it and be envious of the adventure Dorothy goes on. Also up until very recently I wasn’t even aware there was other books, so when I first heard about this [...]
‘Stoker’ Movie Review
Now I wouldn’t necessarily say I was a fan of Korean Director Park Chan-Wook’s previous work, I mean there’s no doubt he’s made some interesting films in the past but I don’t think I could ever truly say that I love them and while that’s because he’s got this twisted point of view of human nature that can be quite [...]
‘Cloud Atlas’ Movie Review
In recent years originality has taken more of a back seat in mainstream cinema, I mean yes there have been numerous films that have continued to push the boundaries of certain genres, but you rarely see a film these days that is different and brave enough to bring something new to the big screen. So is ‘Cloud Atlas’ that film [...]
‘A Good Day to Die Hard’ Movie Review
Now you won’t be surprised to hear that I love the Die Hard franchise and while the last film was completely outrageous, it was still a lot of fun. The thing is though, the reason why John McClane’s character is loved so much, particularly in the first 3 films is that there’s sense of vulnerability about him and this underdog [...]
‘Hitchcock’ Movie Review
Now when I first saw the trailer for this, I was happy in the knowledge that it wasn’t going to be an obvious screen portrait of the director, instead it was going to be a look into how he staked everything to make one of his most famous films, Psycho, and also gain an insight into the woman that’s stood [...]
‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Movie Review
Now the relationship between the video-game industry and hollywood over the years hasn’t been the prettiest of affairs and to this date there still hasn’t been a successful adaptation on the big screen. But the fundamental problem with all those previous attempts was that they were limited to the constraints of what made their games loved by so many. So [...]
‘Flight’ Movie Review
Now its been over 10 years since Robert Zemekis made his last live-action film and that was Castaway, but since then he really hasn’t managed to make motion capture work for him. So when I heard he was returning to the live-action format with this film, Flight, not only did I breathe a sigh of relief but I was excited [...]
