It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a kids Disney movie. For the past few years the only good Disney have been doing is the Pirates of the Caribbean and releasing Pixar films. While that’s still pretty awesome, it’s been far too long since they’ve created a feature length animated children’s film that [...]

In 2000 there was a film called Memento which told the story of a man who’d lost his long term memory and could only retain fifteen minutes at a time and yet was trying to find his wife’s killer. Oh, and the film was told backwards. If Christopher Nolan was able to make such a [...]

Well the title says it all folks, yes it’s Christmas Day. The day we get together with friends and family, exchange gifts, eat tons of food, and celebrate the holy birth of a great man… Sir Isaac Newton. But those are not the only Christmas traditions, no there are many more. Including the tradition of [...]

It’s nice to be surprised. Judging from the trailers in which a stern faced Tom Cruise asks: “do you want to win the war on terror; yes or no?” I had expected a big dumb film which glorified the giant clusterfuck which is America’s war on terror.

Let me begin with a few tips – this is not the movie for a first date (unless you are dating the Single White Female), a 3am viewing after hitting the 40oz’s all night, or an experiment to see what a flick would be like whilst riding high on the mean green. This is nothing [...]

I hate when people come out of an action movie, and tell me, “The dialogue was pretty crap, the plot was terrible, the acting was horrific, the casting laughable, and even some of the effects looked a little fake. But it was an action movie, the action scenes were good, so I liked it!” I [...]

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
I find one of the more interesting trends of movie makers in the last 15 years has been their fixation with recreating stories on the silver screen associated with being ‘children’s favourites’. From fairy tale [...]

It’s not often that I would call a movie gay. Indeed, the political incorrectness of calling a movie gay is something one should consider before making the claim. But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it straight.
Blades of Glory is a very, very gay movie.
This is not to say Blades [...]
