Noah // DVD Review
Here we go again. Yet ANOTHER superhero film.
12 Years A Slave // Review
Thanks Hollywood! You’ve solved racism. Again. Now do war and we can all go home.
American Hustle // DVD Review
It may have lost the awards-season race to more serious or spectacular runners, but American Hustle is my favourite film of the year so far.
Gravity // Review
Ground-breaking visuals, nail-biting drama and Clooney’s massive dreamy face.
Blue Jasmine // Review
If her beautifully balanced tragicomic performance doesn’t win the best actress Oscar at next month’s ceremony I’ll eat a big bag of dicks.
White House Down // DVD Review
The cinematic equivalent of having your head wrapped in flashing Christmas-tree lights while someone tries to surprise you with an air-horn.
Elysium // DVD Review
Sure, it looks good – great in fact – and the frequent action is uncompromising and well done, but it’s all a bit ham-fisted.
Pacific Rim // Review
Eeloo? Warner Brothers? Ees Guillermo Del Torro ‘ere.
World War Z // DVD Review
Zombies, eh? Can't live with 'em, can't live without ‘em wanting to eat your kids...

Technically it is near perfect, the performances are exemplary, the plot is classic literature...
The Hobbit // DVD Review
I wonder why Peter Jackson has decided to… That much? Yes, I guess it would make financial sense to do it that way.
Argo // DVD Review
It’s intelligently crafted, brilliantly acted, flawlessly authentic and consistently gripping.
Beasts of the Southern Wild // DVD Review
"It’s a breathtakingly brutal, tear-pissingly moving and savagely beautiful odyssey of a young girl’s struggle for survival..."
Looper // DVD Review
"the film has a cool quasi-steampunk groove to it, and it’s paced well enough that the bloody stupidity doesn’t get in the way" - Jay works his way through Looper
Totall Recall // DVD Review
Obviously, my drawers are bulging with Dick, so do I really need to make space in my DVD cabinet for yet another take on his canon?
Dark Shadows // DVD Review
Gone is the boil-in-the-bag kookiness we’ve come to expect; this is a truly sumptuous and lavish affair.
Avengers Assemble // DVD Review
This month our chef is Joss Whedon and his ingredients are prime beef, short-crust pastry, mushrooms, and a piece of dog-shit.
Battleship
