100 Words or Less – Kill Bill Volume 2

Title – Kill Bill Volume 2 Released – 2004 Director – Quentin Tarantino Starring – Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen, David Carradine Review – Kill Bill Vol. 2 is more of a Tarantino movie than the first. Long scenes of his unique dialogue and more substance to equal the abundance of style. Kill Bill Vol.2 follows The Bride as she […]

100 Words or Less – Kill Bill Volume 1

Title – Kill Bill Volume 1 Released – 2003 Director – Quentin Tarantino Starring – Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Daryl Hannah Review – Kill Bill Vol. 1 is not director Quentin Tarantino’s best film, but it is still great and occasionally excellent. Kill Bill is a story of revenge centred on Thurman’s ‘The Bride’ as she enacts vengeance on The […]

100 Words or Less – Edge of Tomorrow

Title – Edge of Tomorrow (or ‘Live Die Repeat’ I can’t keep track) Released – 2014 Director – Doug Liman Starring – Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton Review – Edge of Tomorrow captures the feeling of playing video games, you fail, die and respawn. It probably speaks to a certain group of people, and it is excellent. Tom Cruise […]

100 Word or Less – The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course

Title – The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course Released – 2002 Director – John Stainton Starring – Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, David Wenham Review- The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course is a weird movie. Half wildlife documentary (basically Steve Irwin’s show from the early 2000’s) and half zany spy thriller. And y’know what? It sort of works. Steve Irwin plays a fictional […]

100 Words or Less – Walking Tall

Title – Walking Tall Released – 2004 Director – Kevin Bray Starring – Dwayne Johnson, Johnny Knoxville, Michael Bowen. Review – Do you smell what the Rock is cooking? Something awesome apparently as he beats up a whole group of guys armed with nothing more than a bit of wood. Walking Tall is a surprisingly well-made action/revenge film that […]

100 Words or Less – Safe

Title – Safe Released – 2012 Director – Boaz Yakin Starring – Jason Statham, Catherine Chan, Chris Sarandon Review – Jason Statham goes up against the Russian mafia, Triads and dirty cops in order to save a super clever little girl, Mei, in this surprisingly good action thriller. Full of awesome shootouts and some really brutal fistfights, Safe reminds us that Statham […]

100 Words or Less – Hitman

Title – Hitman Released – 2007 Director – Xavier Gens Starring – Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko. Review – By far the best video game adaptation, though that’s not saying much, Hitman has a great cast and some really kickass shootouts. Based on the amazing game series it’s fun seeing Agent 47 on film (though movie 47 lacks the stealth of […]

Doctor Who ‘Death in Heaven’ Review

“Hey Missy you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Missy!” What a downer ending. I mean I appreciate Doctor Who taking some risks but that ending leaves The Doctor and Clara in a very sad place. This was the second part of a morbid two-part finale. And is it satisfying? Yeah…for the […]

100 Words or Less – Once a Thief

Title – Once a Thief Released – 1991 Director – John Woo Starring – Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung, Cherie Chung, Kenneth Tsang. Review – A ‘crime caper’ by John Woo. Like The Killer or Hard Boiled but with more comedy. Comedy which often fails to translate. But even the failed jokes are hilarious in their own way. Seeing Chow Yun-Fat throwing a baby is funny […]

Doctor Who ‘In the Forest of the Night’ Review

“Even my incredibly long life is too short for Les Misérables.” Well! This one is sure to become one of the more divisive episodes of recent Who. A fascinating concept handled in an…interesting way to say the least, although it was far from successful. The episode begins with a little girl finding the Doctor in the […]
