Movie Review: Yet Another 300 Review
aka I Didn’t Like 300! Yes, I know world + dog has now reviewed this, but I don’t care Let me shout this from the very top of the review, as the doomed king Leonidas and his Spartans are so fond of doing: I DIDN’T ENJOY 300! There, I’ve said it. I can hide my controversial [...]
Movie Review: Casino Royale
As the saying goes: "they don't make them like they used to". And while that's a line as cliched as the Bond franchise has itself become, it's quite often true. That's not to say that "they" aren't trying; franchise re-imaginings and revivals seem to be all the rage these days, particularly with the superhero fraternity. [...]
Movie Review: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Sullied. That’s how I felt as I left the screening of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I felt unclean. Not because of the film’s desperate attempts at shocking gore and violence - and it’s not as grotesque as it likes to think it is - but because it feels the need to further diminish [...]
Movie Review: The Departed
There is the most perfect cinematic moment in the later stages of Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. Cut off from his handlers, feeling more alone than at any other point in the movie, undercover police officer Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) receives a call on his mobile phone. The phone is his only real point of contact [...]
Review: Superman Returns
“Why the world doesn’t need Superman”. That’s the title of Lois Lane’s Pulitzer winning article, an article fueled by the emotions felt after the inexplicable disappearance of the man she loved. It could just as feasibly be the subtitle of Brian Singer’s attempt at bringing the Man of Steel back to cinema screens. But what [...]
Let’s Get Naked!
Brothers and sisters, April 9th is a day to get naked. And tempted as I was to take a photo of myself like these fine looking specimens, I figured I’d just drop the stylesheet and post up a few lines. Aren’t you glad? CSS Naked Day is intended to show your appreciation of the wonders of CSS. [...] Read More

Grand Queue Auto
This is my local Asda at midnight. Over 300 people queuing, according to staff. For 260 copies of GTA4. I went hurtling off to Tesco only to find there was - relatively - nobody there. I grabbed two copies for the 360, made my way to the self service tills, scanned them, opened my wallet… And realised [...] Read More

The New Is There Food - Categories
What started as a redesign of the site - another theme change - has resulted in something a little more extensive: a full on restructuring. The categories have changed again. They didn’t really fit with the things I want to do with the site so they’ve been jiggled around. Before, I had: Reviews - too broad. TV, [...] Read More

An Unenthusiastic Monday
I had very little sleep last night - thanks to my son, who seemed to develop some kind of weird toddler insomnia - and that, in combination with a miserable grey Monday morning didn’t enthuse me about going to the gym at all. But, I still managed it. The Sennheisers I purchased really are excellent. They [...] Read More

Entertaining cheese. The violence is at times splattery and enjoyable, but the script leaves much to be desired. Olyphant is great though. Much better than I expected (which doesn't say a lot, tbh).

Good stuff! Extremely entertaining monster movie. Who will live? Who will be horribly devoured by the creatures? Plays out like Demon Knight if directed by Sam Raimi circa Evil Dead.

Magnificently acted and directed. An old fashioned, creepy little ghost story. Highly recommended.

Brilliantly scary Spanish "zombie" movie shot in a Blair Witch stylee. Highly recommended.

Sadly not greater than the sum of its parts, but still an entertaining three hours of cinema. The two films are best enjoyed on their own, in their more complete forms.

A genre confused, one joke movie that isn't even that funny. Shame: Serkis and Shearsmith are excellent but don't have much to work with.
