Why Did I Hate Avatar?

Yeah, I know. It’s pretty strong, and I can feel the ire of those reading even as I type this. (Please note, this isn’t our official review, you can find that here, as written by Gary). Believe me though, it was never supposed to be like this. I’ve known about Avatar for a long time. [...]

I would have thought that after the Lifeless Shrek the Third the only suitable fourth movie would involve Shrek and Donkey discovering an enormous cow in the forests of Far, Far Away and then spend the next 80 minutes beating it and watching the coins fall out, laughing maniacally to themselves. In 3D. Not so. [...]

If there’s one film we’re looking forward to in 2010, it’s Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass. Early screening at BNAT last week were unanimous in their appreciation for Vaughn’s unconventional take on the superhero genre, and critics marveled at its visceral, highly stylised action and none more so than the bloody justice unleashed [...]
