Jack and Jill Review

Jack-and-Jill-2011

I know by this point everyone expects any review of Jack and Jill to be a terribly scathing affair and there’s no doubt it deserves as much. But there’s more to it than that. It’s not just a film about Adam Sandler in a woman suit and Al Pacino slumming it like successful career choices [...]

Tom Hardy In The Frame To Play Al Capone

Tom Hardy

They say that the cream always rises to the top and that seems to be the case for Tom Hardy. Having plied his trade in an inferior Star Trek sequel (Nemesis) and a left-of-mainstream biopic (Bronson) he is now picking up bigger and bigger profile roles. With an utterly impressive co-lead performance under his belt [...]

Killer Elite – Blu-ray Review

Killer Elite

Danny (Jason Statham) and Hunter (Robert De Niro) are mercenaries/hit men for hire, but after a job leaves Danny face to face with the blood-caked child of his latest assignment, he decides he has had enough and disappears off half way around the world.

New Year’s Eve Review

New Year's Eve poster

You have to worry when a film’s musical medley finale is far more entertaining than what you’ve just sat through. Another snag for the filmmakers of the equally disappointing Valentine’s Day last year is their biggest star, Robert De Niro, is woefully miscast in the sombre role, when his true comedic talent is apparent in [...]

New Years Eve UK Poster

The upcoming ensemble romantic-comedy, New Year’s Eve, has got pretty much every face under the sun surrounding the rom-com genre, and I was a little surprised to find myself enjoying the last trailer we saw for the film. A new poster has now been sent over to us and it’s pretty much just about showing [...]

New Year's Eve poster

After the success of last year’s ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, which turned $50m. into more than $200m., director Gerry Marshall is returning this year for another ensemble romantic comedy, New Year’s Eve. At first, I was a little sceptical of the project, but after a surprisingly good first trailer, I became a lot more [...]

Jacki Weaver

Over the summer, the casting for David O. Russell’s next film, The Silver Linings Playbook, started to shape up nicely, with Jennifer Lawrence cast in the female lead and Bradley Cooper filling the male lead after Mark Wahlberg had to exit the project.

Killer Elite Review

killer-elite

The promise of a thriller with a sexy, all-star cast of Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro is enough to whet the appetite for a trip to the cinema. Debut writer-director Gary McKendry’s adaptation of Ranulph Fiennes’ novel, The Feather Men, should be the action man’s version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy this [...]

The Killer Elite UK Banner

Killer Elite is a movie that you must see, not only because it features amazing fight sequences or Jason Statham and Clive Owen but more for the fact that it features the craziest moustache that you’ve ever seen in your life! Apparently this is based on a true story but the only question I have… [...]

Intrigue Begins With Mysterious First Teaser Trailer And Poster For Red Lights With Robert De Niro

Red Lights poster

Writer-director Rodrigo Cortés put himself on the map last year with Buried, trapping Ryan Reynolds in a box for ninety minutes and managing to keep it utterly engrossing from start to finish, and making almost $20m. at the box office from less than a $2m. budget.
