Movie reviews

Predators

While 1987’s original Predator has achieved near godlike stature in the hearts of young (and not so young) men weaned on a certain strain of action cinema.

Inception

Greatest Film of the 21st century

Shrek 3

I rented the movie Shrek 3 or Shrek The Third over the past weekend, simply because I haven’t yet seen it and because I generally enjoyed Shrek 2, another reason is because the fourth Shrek movie’s coming out.

Iron Man 2

Enter Mickey Rourke’s psychotic Russian Ivan Drago, sorry, Vanko, who likes his vodka straight, his tattoos in plain sight and his revenge bloody ridiculous

Kick Ass

The supersonic consumption rate of the online generation, with its insatiable appetite for violence, sex and celebrity, is a prime target

Robin Hood

A mistaken and shoddy shadow of what it could have been, yet not a write off..

Brooklyn’s Finest

By no means brilliant, but sharp enough to mess you up. Brooklyn’s Finest is the newest delivery from Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, which follows that contemporary idiom of following numerous stories that throughout appear unrelated until the ultimate climax

The Horseman

One of the finest films ever made

Das Weisse Band

Michael Haneke’s Dogville- a feral perception of the darkness of humanity

Up in the Air

All hail Clooney, master of that addictive charm delivered with such a nasty sting

Avatar

A Truely Awe-inspiring visual feast of unprecedented kinds.Avatar is up for numerous Oscars as well as already having received various awards internationally, it seems it’s a commercial studio film of the most mammoth kind that is digestible for both critics and audiences alike.

Invictus

Not just a rugby film, but a look at one man and the struggles of his nation.

Edge of Darkness

Gibson is back and this time he means business, nuclear business in 2010’s Edge of Darkness, a film adaptation of the successful 1985 six part BBC television series of the same name.

The Wolfman

Benicio’s Wolf is blood-tripping but not mind boggling. The Wolfman is the first installment of what has been dubbed as the ‘year of the werewolf’ as 2009 was the celebration of ‘the vampire’.
