Time was when the mention of a double act with Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller would have had this reviewer racing for the nearest cinema. They are two of the most indelible and successful comedians the world has ever seen. In recent years, however, their output has ...
Rule breaker. Savvy business man. Trend setter. Lover of the bare female form. Forget Don Draper, legendary director/producer Roger Corman is the original Mad Man. No other man could get actor Jack Nicholson to absolutely weep (albeit from behind a sharp pair ...
The Horror genre just got a much needed kick in the pants courtesy of Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and his co-writer Joss Whedon (The Avengers). I won’t mince words here; Cabin in the Woods is indeed a game changer. It might even be THE game changer for ...
War Horse is a beautifully shot throwback to another era of filmmaking. Sentimental in style and full of clichés it wholeheartedly rides straight into the sunset, this World War I epic about a boy and his horse could have easily been made in the 1950s. It’s wide-eyed ...
In what amounts to the soft rock version of Alexander Payne’s hard-hitting The Descendants, one family – led by the accomplished acting skills of Matt Damon - mourns the loss of their mother (and his character’s wife) with the purchase of a zoo ...
Snake Plissken is back. Whoops. I mean, a super-spy go-to-government stud named Snow (Guy Pearce, playing Kurt Russell, adorned in a ‘Warning: Offensive’ t-shirt) is back on the job in co-directors Stephen St. Leger & James Mather’s Lockout. It’s cheesy ...
What a great exploitation idea: the Marines vs. Charlie Manson. The sentence alone should have grossed $50 million, right? Not in 1985. Not by a long shot. Yet, somehow Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except managed to sear straight into its audience’s brain cells ...
Leave it to the French to redefine both ‘apocalyptic’ and ‘nightmare’. With one unflinching swipe of the hand, director Xavier Gens (Frontiers) wipes away any lasting memories of The Road or Doomsday and makes A Boy and His Dog look like a family trip to the ...
John Carpenter’s remake of a revered 1950s B-Movie became even more revered than the film it honoured. It was a masterpiece in paranoia, tension, and deftly showed our shortcomings as a species, and how far we yet have to go ...
Now this is how it’s done! Back in 2008, when we were being prepped for Iron Man, the fledgling Marvel Studios told us that this was the beginning of a grand odyssey; one that would ensnare multiple characters from their pages in multiple movies before ...
Jason Statham is no stranger to the mess of pulp found inside his latest redemptive mission, Safe. Written and directed by Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans), the rock’em, sock’em movie plays for eye-catching wit and the absolute crushing of skulls. You see, Statham ...
Writer/Director Delmer Dave’s eerie classic from 1947, The Red House, finally gets its just reward. Long listed as a favorite film from many critics (but not often seen by the public), the suspense contained inside one abandoned farmhouse is murderously clever and highly ...
When is a horror film not a horror film? Essentially, that’s the question when writing a review for writer/director Ti West’s latest release, The Innkeepers. Like Rosemary’s Baby and The Shining before it, The Innkeepers manages to rise above its genre and prove that ...
Is there a more influential 15 minutes in film history? Famed director Martin Scorsese – who featured the celebrated Georges Melies and his film in his award-winning Hugo – doesn’t think so. You shouldn’t either. In what goes down as the most important blu-ray ...
Rage monster Mel Gibson is proving to audiences that he still has that maverick edge. While unmedicated antics continue in his private life, the actor can still make for an appealing good-spirited criminal. Get the Gringo, a grit-in-the-teeth production ...
