After the lacklustre pair of Aliens vs Predator movies poured scorn on the most famous deadly breeds of outer-space races, the Predators go solo for their third outing to regain respect. Predators is…
Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise may not be thought of as the most natural of on-screen double acts following their teaming up for disappointing psychological thriller Vanilla Sky, but this comic spy…
Fantastical tales of mythology, scripture and religion have often been great material on which to base cinematic spectacle. From the good (The Passion, Apocalypto, 300) to the not so great (Troy, Clash of the Titans) and with more in the pipeline…
Rian Johnson’s new drama The Brothers Bloom comes across like a Wes Anderson movie, combining screwball comedy, action adventure and film noir with a slick professional looking sheen glossed over the…
The sad thing about writing a review of films like Sex and the City is that you know that your words will be completely ignored; films like this are utterly critic proof, existing in a special protective bubble. That said, for what its worth,…
Spanish shocker [Rec] was one of the horror highlights of recent years, and certainly the best in the current cycle of shaky-cam frighteners. Thankfully, Jaume Balaguéro and Paco Plaza don’t simply attempt to repeat the same trick the second time…

The Railway Children is one of my all-time favourite films, so this review will be biased! Those of you coming to the film for the first time are in for a treat; those familiar with it will enjoy its sparkling…
It seems unthinkable now, but back in 2008, Jon Favreau’s Iron Man was something of a gamble. It was a huge step up in scale for the filmmaker, and even more so for his star, the temperamental character actor Robert Downey Jr. They played to their…
After the studio sponsored, enjoyably self-indulgent, futuristic mess that was Doomsday, Neil Marshall is back in indie territory with Centurion, which opens quietly and rapidly descends into carnage with a brutal fight scene. Marshall has never…
