Ross wants to make a living doing anything other than a proper job. If that involves writing about films then so be it. He also believes that if you don't like In Bruges you are severely mistaken. Follow him @rossjonesmorris.

Old naked ladies, rivers of blood, locked rooms. Where have we seen all of these things before? The Shining of course. Guess who else has seen The Shining? Rob Zombie, of course. He’s seen The Shining and he really liked it, so he put a load of things from The Shining in his new film. [...]
Ever since Rocky Sylvester Stallone has been one of cinema’s premier punchers. He punches here, he punches there, he pretty much punches everywhere. But mostly he punches people in the head. So it’s a surprise to find him starring in Bullet To The Head – a film that one would imagine centres around him shooting [...]
Give that man an Oscar! It’s an all too easy call when looking at a film like Flight, and it’s one that should definitely be analysed. You see, in Flight Denzel Washington stars as airline captain William “Whip” Whitaker. He’s an alcoholic he’s a borderline drug addict and he’s an airline pilot. Which is quite a [...]
Les Miserables is the longest running musical in West End history and was the recipient of eight Tony Awards in 1987. Tom Hooper was the darling of the 2011 Academy Awards with his debut feature The King’s Speech garnering four Oscar statuettes. So, on paper Les Miserables should be a no brainer. It’s got great [...]
We’ve been here before. In both 1997 and 2001 Morgan Freeman took on the role in two mediocre offerings (Kiss The Girls and Along Came a Spider), the best thing about which (you’ve guessed it) was Freeman himself. This time around The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen is on board and has made [...]
Soon to be stylishly sidling into a cinema screen near you, Gambit is the hilarious new hit comedy caper that’s set to take the box office by storm! It follows Colin Firth’s oh-so-lovable bumbling Harry Deane as he clumsily flits about trying to con media mogul Lord Lionel Shabandar out of a dramatically significant amount [...]
B-movies are a beautiful thing. They can be a fertile breeding ground for films and nowhere is this more apparent than deep within genre territory. You sow your seeds based on a thousand films that have gone before, you throw some filth fertiliser on top and voila, a B-movie that hopefully contains more invention than it does ‘homage’ and, [...]
Ben Drew’s directorial debut kicked up an awful lot of column inches on release back in June. In taking us on what he calls an ‘urban safari’ Ill Manors gave us a look at the intimidating spectre of ‘Broken Britain’. Reviews were alight with the power of a million buzzwords and the film was lost amongst all the [...]
It’s October again so I guess it’s time for another film in the low-budget franchise that keeps on giving and giving (well, to Paramount Pictures at least). The phenomenally successful and ingeniously devised Paranormal Activity series is a piece of Indie film royalty. It generates huge piles of delicious money on extremely meagre budgets and despite each instalment being [...]
HeyUGuys talks to Genndy Tartakovsky, director of the upcoming 3D feature Hotel Transylvania about the intricacies of animation, his aversion to 3D and the art of making kids laugh. Turns out he’s a bit of a softy at heart. Well here it comes, the standard opener: What do you see Hotel Transylvania as being about? The movie is essentially about Dracula [...]
Naff. That’s Resident Evil: Retribution summed up in one beautifully British word. It’s glitzy, it’s showy, it tries ever so hard (in some departments) but ultimately it’s all a bit naff. Let’s start at the very beginning, just as the film does. In a not unimpressive opening sequence we see a fight aboard a container ship unfold [...]
‘Not the worst film this year’. That’s my bid for a poster quote right there. The second worst? You’re damn right it is. That’s My Boy is a film that opens with an audience full of children and teachers cheering a teacher/pupil molestation case and goes downhill from there. A thirteen year old boy having sex with his naked [...]
“Don’t worry, It’s just a cough”. Hands down the funniest line I’ve heard in a cinema this year. There was me, severely underwhelmed with what I was seeing and boom, I was floored. The poster for The Possession should ideally read “big laughs” and “the funniest film of the year, probably intentional”. If only Keith Lemon could have [...]
I’m just going to come out and say it. I don’t like Leigh Francis. Bo’ Selecta was rubbish. Keith Lemon is rubbish. Therefore Leigh Francis (I find it hard to come to any other conclusion) is rubbish. You would thus be right in thinking that I entered Keith Lemon: The Film with my expectations hovering [...]
StudioCanal have recently released a couple of Amicus Production classics by veteran film director Kevin Connor. The set on offer includes a few of his early classics ranging from the lesser known At The Earth’s Core and Warlords of Atlantis to the cult classic The Land that Time Forgot. Now available on DVD I somehow found myself in the privileged position of [...]
Well surprise surprise. The Dark Knight Rises has topped the charts for two weeks in a row in predictably emphatic fashion. They say that in life there is no such thing as a sure thing. Well whoever said that would have been laughed out of the room by execs at Warner Bros. Whoever said that [...]
Things are going well for Miranda Raison. Since graduating from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art around a decade ago she has never had to work outside of acting. A rare thing indeed. After early roles in Wood Allen’s Match Point and (say it in hushed tones) Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo, she landed the [...]
The end of last week was a time of great anticipation for the people of Britain. The Olympics was one whole week away but in only a few short days the forecast was sunny with occasional spells of watching The Dark Knight. The PR machine (as it had been for some time) was in full [...]
There’s a new image from Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is there? What? After yesterday’s first red-band clip, showing the return of those pesky killer nurses? Well, could you kindly please take hold of this hot mug of coffee while I lose my s*it? Scolding my hand would only serve to undermine this orgasmic thrill. OK, so [...]
Hooray! Hip-Hip! Hooray! Ahem… Well for once it falls upon me to be the bearer of good news as everyone’s favourite “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” writer/director Edgar Wright now has two new projects in his very cinematically accomplished pipeline. Recently Simon Pegg took yet again to his Twitter to announce that firstly The World’s End starts shooting 10 [...]
