Sucker Punch, the latest action-fantasy creation from the visual mastermind Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen), opens in theatres on the 1st of April after a media blitz that would hype up even the most arbitrary movie-goer. The story begins with our heroine, Baby Doll (Emily Browning), in an unfortunate situation when her deceased mother leaves all [...]
It’s not long until we get to see Thor on the big screen, wielding Mjölnir with much gusto and abandon and until then, the seemingly endless juggernaut of P&A chugs on. If you’ve been hiding in a cave for the last six months and want to see what all the fuss is about, this would be a [...]

The best part of most film festivals usually arrives every day around midnight, when some of the dramatic snoozers get put to rest so that the Sci-Fi and Horror gems can come out and play. Unfortunately, for reasons I can’t even seem to explain to myself, I managed to completely gloss over the premiere of [...]
31-year-old London-born filmmaker Thomas Ikimi has applied the Christopher Nolan school of filmmaking to his career so far.

His follow-up, Legacy: Black Ops, which was released on DVD last week [...]

As far as comebacks go, it’s up there with Jesus and Kylie. With the rise of Microsoft and Sony’s corporate juggernauts at the turn of the century, Nintendo’s increasingly laboured hardware releases (Gamecube, Gameboy Micro) ensured it looked like it was fast going the way of SEGA. But then, magically, they’ve turned their fortunes around, [...]
John Curran’s latest film is thrust onto DVD next week and benefits from some fine performances from its main cast to lift it from the rather ordinary premise we find ourselves with.

Gwyneth Paltrow is country superstar Kelly Canter, a Faith Hill-esque figure (presumably with added hedonistic tendencies) who has fallen on hard times. Finishing a stint in rehab, she’s due to stage [...]
The Warrior’s Way opens with a ridiculous voiceover that informs us that the setting for the film is “A long, long time ago. In a land far away” and that it is “…the story of a sad flute, a laughin’ baby and a weepin’ sword”. If you don’t find some unintentional humour in that opening then the [...]
