Warning contains spoilers! I have waited my whole life for this movie. The thought of seeing Hulk and Ironman in the same movie, battling villains and saving the world alone would have my salivating at the mouth. But to have Thor, Nick Fury and errr Captain America in the same movie as well, is a [...]

Jason Statham is a national treasure. Or at least he should be. Purely on the basis that he’s the only British action star we’ve got. Perhaps he’s the only one we’ve ever really had, who’s in the same sort of calibre as the endless elite of American ones such as Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone or [...]
In 2005 Spielberg’s ‘War Of The Worlds’ hit our cinema screens. There’s a scene towards the start in which the alien attackers reveal themselves, bursting from the ground zapping humans as buildings crumble around.

On the surface it seems like a Farrelly Brothers comedy, a struggling company boss on the brink of suicide, addresses his problems by communicating with everyone through a Beaver puppet. Surely [...]

It should have been one of the films of 2011, and though recognised by the Bafta’s in the UK, it didn’t get a single nomination at the Oscars. A tragedy, cause if the Academy had looked further than the word ‘documentary’ and [...]
Let’s get one thing straight. Girl’s rule. Is there nothing our ‘larger chested’ companions can’t turn there hands to when it comes to recent cinema? Action (Haywire, Hanna) done. Thrillers (Girl with the dragon tattoo, Black Swan) done. Now they’ve taken over comedy, with the remarkably funny Bridesmaids. I don’t mean to sound so shocked [...]
It’s difficult to review a Werner Herzog documentary. He’s done so many films and documentaries that the consistency of his work (which is mostly gripping, if not outstanding) is almost judged not by genre standards, but by HERZOG standards. How does it compare in the large back catalogue of oddities, that the man who once [...]
