Mesrine part 2: Public Enemy No 1 movie review

  • August 31st, 2009
  • Posted in Films

  Deftly picking up the narrative from Part 1 without even a recap, this is not a sequel so much as a conclusion of Jacques Mesrine’s life story. Whilst it is strong enough to exist on its own, audiences would be well advised to see this only after watching the first part. At the start of this chapter, [ READ MORE ]

Avatar Day – movie preview

  • Posted in Films

    It seems somewhat absurd to be reviewing what is essentially a trailer, but James Cameron’s gargantuan Hype Machine is shifting into 2nd gear, the result being a global event showing 15minutes of teaser clips in Imax cinemas, and cannot be ignored. Numerous people have already documented a shot-for-shot rundown of what footage was shown, so I’ll [ READ MORE ]

Clockwork Twits

  • Hawk the Slayer - Genius, crap-tastic 80s fantasy action adventure. a fond favourite from my childhood which has Not Aged Well. 6/10 1 day ago
  • 13th Warrior - surprisingly tedious retelling of Beowulf. Id remembered it being a lot more exciting. 5/10 1 day ago
  • Arthur & the revenge of Maltharazd. baffling cgi/live action sequel - hip hop fairy netherworld in a overgrown country garden. 5/10 4 days ago
  • Interceptor - russian sci fi - some pretty visual moments, but god only knows what the bloody hell was going on in it. confusing/boring 3/10 4 days ago
  • Slammin Salmon - Broken Lizard team with predictably scatological obscene hilarity. Michael Clarke Duncan in particular is hilarious. 7/10 5 days ago
  • Girl With The Dragon Tattoo-taut & twisty dark thriller.Uncomfortable at many points.Perhaps hard to get into for non-readers of the book 7 1 week ago
  • AstroBoy - pretty, if overly cutesy japanimation cg. Stellar voice cast phoning it in for the $$$. Ultimately too kiddy-tastic for me. 5/10 1 week ago
  • Men Who Stare At Goats - light comedy, some of the finest actors working today, all twatting it up as hippie Jedi soldiers. good fun. 6/10 1 week ago
  • How to Train Your Dragon - brilliantly inventive & exciting 3d CG kids action. Some excellent visual flourishes & witty vocal work 8/10 1 week ago
  • The Descent: part 2 - not so much a sequel as a sub-par remake. just watch the original twice & you'll be less bored or underwhelmed. 4/10 1 week ago
