Spider-Man Trilogy Review

Spider-Man (2002) “Remember, with great power, comes great responsibility.” Along with the X Men trilogy that was kick started in the late 90’s, the Spiderman trilogy is a bench mark in superhero film making and is arguably some of the most important films in the genre. These films, along with the X Men showed that […]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Review (Spoiler Free)

“He’s fast… strong… and has a metal arm.” The ninth entry in the Marvel canon; Captain America: The Winter Soldier could arguably be it’s best. Not only is the film a strong follow up to Whedon-tastic behemoth Avengers Assemble but it’s also a strong follow up to the severely underrated Captain America: The First Avenger. The film is also […]

The King of Comedy (1983) Review

“Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime.” What’s the best Martin Scorsese film? Ask a random assortment of people and they might say Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas etc. But almost nobody mentions The King of Comedy. I have no idea why this is; The King of Comedy is a near masterpiece […]

American Hustle Review

Well, after seeing American Hustle the other day I can safely say that I have found my new favourite film of the year (if we go by the American release date). I know; I said the exact same thing when I saw Gravity and I’ll probably say the exact same thing when I see The Wolf Of […]

Gravity (2013) Review

“So, what do you like about being up here?” Well, that’s it, Gravity is my favourite film of the year so far, it is that good. And it is definitely one to see in cinemas, there’s no doubt about that. If possible see it in IMAX 3D as well. I know, I know, it’s a lot more […]

Killing Them Softly Review

Movies like Killing Them Softly don’t come around often enough. And judging from the fact that it didn’t do too well at the box office, I’d say it’ll be a while before we see another this unique. Films like these aren’t often made in mainstream cinema, these films have dark, central characters who you either don’t […]

Con Air (1997) Review

“Put the bunny back in the box.” Nicolas Cage had a good run of films in the nineties and after the critical successes of films like Wild At Heart and Leaving Las Vegas, Cage reinvented himself with a run of action films. The next three films Cage was in are perhaps three of my all time favourite films; The Rock, […]

Spec Ops: The Line Review

Good, thoughtful stories in video games are a rare occurrence, especially in military shooters. Plenty of games do have good stories, The Walking Dead, Bioshock 1, Bioshock Infinite, Red Dead Redemption are just a handful of games which have been praised for their narratives. While these games do have amazing stories, and RDR is my favourite game of all time, […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Quantum of Solace

“The first thing you should know about us is that we have people everywhere.” Quantum of Solace is mostly considered the weakest Bond film from Daniel Craig’s three films but that’s not to say it’s a bad film. It’s different, in many ways to the previous film, Casino Royale but in many other ways it’s much closer to […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Die Another Day

“You see Mr. Bond, you can’t kill my dreams. But my dreams can kill you.” Ah, Die Another Day. So many people rate this as one the worst Bond films (even though it has a solid RT score) and while I mostly agree with the criticism leveled at it, and the film certainly isn’t in my top […]
