After missing it on the big screen I managed to watch The Fighter at last this weekend and wow what a movie. I’m not the biggest boxing fan in the world but of all the boxing films I’ve seen this is surely the best at re-enacting the physical sport. The film depicts the rise of [...]

The King’s Speech
June 1st, 2011 · No Comments
At long long last I’ve managed to watch The King’s Speech after month of waiting. I unfortunately missed it when it was on at the Cinema, mainly because it’s really expensive to watch a movie these days, so I’ve had to wait until the DVD release. However, the wait was worth it because the film [...]

Tron Legacy
April 25th, 2011 · No Comments
When the film Tron was released in 1982 it was applauded for its outstanding graphics which were seen as groundbreaking at the time. However, I must confess that I was never really a fan because I thought the film was quite boring and it felt like Disney was just trying to show off what it [...]

Cowboys & Aliens
April 20th, 2011 · No Comments
I’ve not been to the cinema for a few months now because I really can’t justify the amount it costs to watch a movie. It seems to get more expensive every time I go. However, one film I might push the boat out for is the upcoming Cowboys & Aliens starring Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde [...]

The Tourist is actually the Bore-ist
April 18th, 2011 · No Comments
I’m a big fan of Johnny Depp and think he’s a pretty cool actor so I was really looking forward to watching The Tourist, his latest film. He stars with Angelina Jolie, another fine actor who usually appears in great movies. However, The Tourist is a really big disappointment form the perspectives of the story [...]

I heard many critics praise the film Buried starring Ryan Reynolds but I was always a little sceptical after hearing what the storyline was. If you’re unaware of the film let me explain. To summarise, the movie is about an American truck driver, played by Reynolds, who wakes up in a coffin, bound, gagged and [...]

Disney’s latest animated movie hit the big screen in the UK on Friday and is rumoured to be one of its best in years. The story is based on the classic fairytale of Rapunzel, but in the usual Disney style it incorporates, humour and catchy tunes. Mandy Moore is playing the voice of the lead [...]

New Superman
January 30th, 2011 · No Comments
Superman is set to hit the big screen again, and the man set to play the iconic character is British Actor Henry Cavill. I’m a big fan of superman, and am surprised that the franchise hasn’t stuck with Brandon Routh who played the lead in “Superman Returns”. Even so, this will be a great opportunity [...]

January 29th, 2011 · No Comments
We all know the story of Romeo and Juliet, but this latest film about the star-crossed lovers has a little bit of a twist. For starters the main characters are all garden gnomes, hence the title. There is some big hype around the film which has been advertised for months now in the cinemas trailers. [...]
