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 […]

‘My Creative Ramblings’ Top 5 Films of 2014

Tom and Jack’s Top 5 Films of 2014 Tom’s Picks 5. X Men: Days of Future Past X-Men: Days of Future Past was definitely the best superhero film of last year, and that’s saying a lot considering Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy also came out in 2014. But for me, X-Men was the best. Not only was […]

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 […]

Birdman (2015) Review Where have you been Michael Keaton? The last thing I saw him in was Need for Speed and then all of a sudden he’s in Birdman giving the best performance of his career.

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?

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.

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 […]

‘Only You’ – A Short Film

“All I needed was the love you gave.” In between writing reviews for this blog and studying at University, I and Jack like to make short films. They aren’t made with a budget of any sort and are more a bit of fun than anything else. They’re not to be taken seriously, and they’re very low […]
