Doctor Who ‘Time Heist’ Review

“What do you think of the new look? I was going for minimalism but I think it came out magician.” Wow, Doctor is really on a winning streak lately. After the awesome first two episodes, the lesser but still good third episode and the brilliant fourth episode, the fifth episode; Time Heist, was perhaps the best yet. […]

Title – Lord of War Released – 2005 Director – Andrew Niccol Starring – Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, Ian Holm Review – Lord of War follows arms dealer Yuri Orlov from the beginning of his career running guns throughout his life.

Doctor Who ‘Listen’ Review

“A soldier so brave, he doesn’t need a gun.” Do you like Steven Moffat? Chances are the answers to that question are decidedly mixed. He’s either saved Doctor Who or ruined depending on who you speak to. Everyone agrees however that he has wrote some of the best episodes, after all he wrote fan favourite ‘Blink’. He […]

100 Words or Less – Public Enemies

Title – Public Enemies Released – 2009 Director – Michael Mann Starring – Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Jason Clake, Marion Cotillard, Review – Michael Mann takes what made him famous with films like the brilliant Heat and puts it in the 1930’s. Depp plays John Dillinger and Bale plays the law man taking him down. The film contains some brilliant bank robberies […]

100 Words or Less – Assassins

Title – Assassins Released – 1995 Director – Richard Donner Starring – Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Julianne Moore. Review – Assassins is awesome. It’s a classic, Stallone action film with the added bonus of a camp, over-the-top Antonio Banderas. They play rival assassins both out to kill 90’s computer whiz Julianne Moore. It’s a classier film than you first think, thanks […]

Doctor Who ‘Robot of Sherwood’ Review

“Because I’m the Doctor. And this is my spoon!” The third episode in this series of Doctor Who is perhaps the weakest of the first three. But that’s not to say it’s bad, it’s just that the first two were great and this one is just ‘quite good’. But there were some brilliant moments thrown in […]

100 Words or Less – Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Title – Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Released – 2004 Director – Kerry Conran Starring – Jude Law, Gywneth Paltrow, Giovanni Ribisi. Review – Sky Captain is certainly something. Slowly becoming a cult classic, it’s one of a few films to feature actors on CGI backgrounds (like Sin City) and it’s awesome. It’s pulpy with elements of sci-fi and […]

100 Words or Less – Duel

Title – Duel Released – 1971 Director – Steven Spielberg Starring – Dennis Weaver Review – The first ‘real’ film of Spielberg’s career, Duel is a great little movie. There’s not much to it, it’s only 90 minutes long and the plot could fit on a postage stamp; an evil trucker torments a man along a remote American road, but it works. […]

Doctor Who ‘Deep Breath’ and ‘Into the Dalek’ Review

‘Deep Breath’ “I don’t know, but I’ll probably blame the English”. Doctor Who is back and it’s better than ever. Well, better than the last series at least. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the Matt Smith years, but by the end of his run things were getting a little stale and the episodes just didn’t […]

100 Words or Less – Pain and Gain

Title – Pain and Gain Released – 2013 Director – Michael Bay Starring – Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie, Dwayne Johnson. Review – Directed by Michael Bay, Pain and Gain may be his best film. Based on the violent true story of Miami body builders committing a viscous crime, the film is actually a great comedy and satire. It contains excellent performances from […]
