Skyfall review
Skyfall has all the necessary elements for a classic Bond – hot chicks, fights, explosions, envy inducing travel, great cars, tuxedos, psychos, peril, etc.

Bond versus Bond
As I am currently going through a Bond theme right now, I thought I might as well include this clip. It’s pretty cool. I’m impressed that Sky is launching a Bond channel although after the first week what are they going to play? Is it just going to be a permanent loop of all the…

Skyfall – the new trailer
Bond is back! I got excited just typing that. Skyfall is the latest Daniel Craig outing, and it looks damned awesome.

Comedy films become horror
As editing movies becomes easier there are an increasing number of re-cut films, sequences, and trailers out there on the interweb. Generally this is really annoying. You try and find a trailer for a movie or game on youtube and some pointless dink has make a fake one from old film footage. I assume they…

Skyfall trailer
Bond! James Bond! The new trailer for the much delayed Skyfall is finally with us. I love Bond films and I think that the new batch are great. This one feels like it will be the final part of the Bond trilogy for some reason, even though it shouldn’t be. Bond is immortal after all,…

Game of Death and myself
I grew up in Hong Kong in the 1970s. It was a glorious time and place for a young lad. Skyscrapers, jungles, beaches, and all the latest gadgets. Also, as you can tell from Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies (the old ones), everyone was Kung Fu fighting all the time and had brilliant haircuts….

The Hangover 2
This film has had a lot of bad press. Mostly because the plot is almost exactly the same as the original. Which is true, but what the fuck were people expecting given the title? The point to be considered is whether it is funny or not. Which it is. If this had come out first…

Death Race
I had been meaning to watch this for ages. I remember watching the original, set in the far off year of 2000. A more violent age when everyone wore spandex. Sadly the spandex wasn’t true although you do see a lot of lycra around. So you can imagine my excitement when I arrived for work…

The Human Centipede
The Human Centipede is a pretty pointless horror film once you get over the main premise.

Kick-Ass review
Yes, this is a review of the film Kick-ass. Although it is, what with this being my writing, an actual ass kicker of a review. I’d been meaning to watch this film for ages as it poses a question I have often asked myself. ‘Why aren’t there any masked superheroes?’ Surely some martial art obsessed,…

A Single Man review
A guy in the early sixties loses his gay lover in a car crash and gets really depressed. The film follows a day when he has made a decision to shoot himself and he is putting his affairs in order. In case you think that’s a spoiler – the film starts with him remembering the…

Avatar
Every review and pre-release bit of advertising for this film promised a spectacle. Avatar did not disappoint. Especially in 3d. First, the story: Jake Sully is a marine in a wheelchair. His brother is killed and Jake gets the chance to take his place in a program where his brain can control an avatar. The…

District 9
First off, the plot. In 1982 a spaceship arrives and stops overJohannesburg. There is some shaky footage of a command pod detatching and crashing to earth but it is never found. It turns out the ship is full of insect-like aliens who are refugees. They get transported to ‘District 9’ – an area that soon…
