This review by James Random. Here is the scenario. It is late, you’re suddenly desperate for a movie to watch so that you have some way of justifying finishing off the last half of a bag of Tyrell’s crisps. And then from some abyss, like a Lovecraftian Deity, Hostel III emerges. You think: Fuck it, why not? The quality of the direct-to-DVD movie...

This review by Scott Lawlor of Front Room Cinema. From the highs of BRIDESMAIDS to the lows of BAD TEACHER it seems that now is the time for dysfunctional females to take the lead. Young Adult from the pen of Diablo Cody tells the tale of Mavis Gary, played by Charlize Theron, a troubled late thirty-something who is just about existing as a ghost writer of a...

This review by Teri from Front Room Cinema. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island – follow up to 2008’s Journey to the Center of the Earth, both driven, plot-wise and market-wise by the fact they’re in 3-D – is a rather schleppy family movie that lacks some serious effort. Rather than focusing on the story, which is thin and mega-clunky towards...

Furthermore, what do you do when that person has been involved in an accident that makes them incapable of explaining themselves or their actions? This is Matt King (George Clooney)’s dilemma. On the brink of closing a...

Anyone that leaves The Grey angry at not seeing Liam Neeson fist fight Wolves is a fucking idiot. I don’t care what the trailer suggests. I don’t care that you think you’re owed a fight scene. You missed the point. The trailer missed the point. Don’t stop – just go. Keep walking. Go and see Jack and Jill and disengage your...

Do you like girls in hot pink matching underwear? Thought so. Right that got your attention. Don’t worry, I’ll get back to the knickers, but let me talk about a MAN who is ON a LEDGE. In case I didn’t make it abundantly clear, this is a review of big budget Sam Worthington-starring-non-James-Cameron-or-ancient-Greece-set vehicle Man On A Ledge –...

Red State was released on Blu-ray on 23rd January. It was a different type of film than the ones Kevin Smith was usually known for. Here is a review of the film by Mark Wassmer.
