Mike reviews the Blu-ray release of  Warrior, starring Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte and Joel Edgerton. Check out his personal blog here: The Littlest Picture Show. So, last year you may recall my Warrior review where I generally praised it, even if it did lack the spark of originality, but proved a sort of Rocky style underdog movie for the noughties. You may...

This review by Scott Lawlor of Front Room Cinema. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (or Kevin as I am going to call it from now on as I am lazy) deals with a tragedy. But rather than talking about the weepier side of the story, KEVIN takes us on a journey with an inherent evil. The title character is almost over-the-top evil, he is the negative force in Eva’s...

Yes it is another year – 2012 is a year or so after the release of Mike Leigh’s latest kitchen sink drama. Now on DVD, my mate and semi-hardened business-hack Adam Bannister reviewed this lovely film. This is what he thought: “Another Year: the title could be uttered with a weary sigh. Not a damning judgment on Mike Leigh’s characteristically...

Marks already reviewed it, HERE. And, if I’m honest, I’d be happy to not even throw my hat in. But Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance is bat shit crazy. It may even be the most ridiculous film of all time. And I loved it. Every single minute. It’s not flawless. Using my own flawless rating system, (out of 5), I’d give Ghost Rider a...

Mike Williams reviews newly released samurai movie Yamada Way of the Samurai. Follow him on twitter here and check out his blog, The Littlest Picture Show, here. This new Blu-ray release from Cine Asia comes with the quote “The Last Samurai meets Ong Bak 2”, and I can confirm that certainly the former is true, as the set-up for the film is this: based on a...

Despite Disney seemingly wanting to kill John Carter with their lousy posters and the fact that tracking seems to suggest it will be a flop it looks as if the film itself is going to be brilliant if this review is anything to go by. It could be that one of the best sci-fi films in recent years will be seen by nobody. View This PollMarket...

It’s never a good sign when a studio embargoes any reviews of a film until the day of release, it’s as if they fear what is going to be written and so don’t want anything out there that may taint the audience potential until the last possible moment. Well Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance (henceforth known as GRSOV) had just that...

This film is going to get panned by a lot of people. Presumably people who aren’t sure what the film wants to be. Rom-Com. Shoot Em Up. Time waster? Me? I enjoyed it. Not in a True Lies sort of way. More of a Mr & Mrs Smith way. But you know what? Sometimes that’s enough. Lets be clear from the off, it’s a really poor action film. The...

This review by Scott Lawlor of Front Room Cinema. When making a film that is about prostitution and exploitation, it is vital for the film maker to tread very carefully and not align itself with the very hatred of women that it is trying to highlight. Unfortunately, Jon Hewitt’s film, ‘X: Night of Vengeance’ which I am sure worked very well on paper,...
