The Lone Ranger (2013) Review

Forget what you’ve heard! This Disney Western is better than you might think.

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 […]

Escape Plan (2013) Review

“You hit like a vegetarian!” Finally. Schwarzenegger and Stallone in a movie together. Sure, they were in The Expendables together but not for very long and those movies, however awesome, were basically a big joke anyway. This is the first time we’ve seen them properly together, kicking ass together, and they’ve never been better. Unlike a lot […]

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 […]

Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor Review

“The Man who Regrets and The Man who Forgets.” Well that was good. The end. Seriously though, it was very good. I’m not sure how much hype there was for this, sure there was a lot online but I know the reaction to last season was mixed, at least among my friends. That being said, […]

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 […]

Thor: The Dark World Review

This review contains SPOILERS! I’m not sure Thor (2011) was anyone’s favourite Marvel film. It was great, and I know it’s loved by a lot of people including myself, but I don’t think it was many people’s favourite. How does Thor: The Dark World compare to the rest of the Marvel movie universe? Thor 2 starts off with some heavy exposition, […]

Rush Review

Rush is a spectacular film. A film chronicling the rivalry between two of Formula 1’s most interesting personalities. Directed by double Oscar winner Ron Howard, Rush thrills until the credits roll, and is not a film just for F1 enthusiasts. Here’s my review. Rush revolves around the rivalry between Brit James Hunt and Austrian Niki Lauda, the biggest stars […]

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 […]

Man of Steel Review (Spoiler free)

“Out there, amongst the stars, he will be free.” I’ll try and keep this review spoiler free and, honestly, there really isn’t that much to spoil. Everyone knows the blueprint of a Superman story, and Man of Steel is sometimes predictable in that regard but if you really don’t want spoilers, turn away now. Man of […]
