The Hateful Eight (Quentin Tarantino - 2015) Movie Review
The Hateful Eight is easily Tarantino's most fierce and contemporary film to date.
Youth (Paolo Sorrentino – 2015) Movie Review
Sorrentino's Youth is sublime.
Creed (Ryan Coogler – 2015) Movie Review
If Rocky was a K.O, Creed is a T.K.O
The Look of Silence (Joshua Oppenheimer – 2015) Movie Review
Don't get it twisted, The Look of Silence will disturb you...
Kingsman: The Secret Service (Matthew Vaughn - 2015) Movie Review
An ultra violent, entertaining and endlessly re-watchable fun movie.
REVIEW: The Drop (Michael R. Roskam - 2014)
The Drop is a beautiful, tense thing to behold and a fitting film to bookend James Gandolfini’s career.
REVIEW: Nightcrawler (Dan Gilroy - 2014)
Nightcrawler is American Psycho for a new generation.
REVIEW: Gone Girl (David Fincher - 2014)
David Fincher is the king of unsettling cinema. He’s an architect of dread and he manages to build something so entirely creepy and disturbing with Gone Girl that it makes Se7en feel like The Notebook. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike are his partners in crime – quite literally – and their performances should generate deserved awards season buzz.
REVIEW: The Maze Runner (Wes Ball - 2014)
Like a cross between Jumanji and Lord Of The Flies, The Maze Runner is somewhat of a rarity. It's a YA-adaptation that actually works.
REVIEW: Divergent (Neil Burger - 2014)
It’s the only female-led YA adult series to succeed at the box-office since the first Hunger Games, and while most of the others *cough The Mortal Instruments, The Host, Beastly, Beautiful Creatures cough* haven’t deserved the right to ignite a cinematic franchise, Divergent most certainly does.
REVIEW: Veronica Mars (Rob Thomas - 2014)
Veronica Mars, it’s good to see you again.
In defence of Vampire Academy
In a world where we have four f*cking Transformers films and a Taken sequel, I think collectively we should all get off Vampire Academy’s dick.
REVIEW: Pain and Gain (Michael Bay - 2013)
Pain and Gain begins with bodybuilder Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) grunting the words “I’m hot! “I’m big!” Coincidentally the film’s director Michael Bay probably chants the same mantra to himself each morning.
