Rise Of The Planet O...

As Rise of the Planet of the Apes is now at the cinema, last week I decided to get my hands on a copy of the 2001 release of Planet Of The Apes. What an awful film it is. The film starts off reasonably well, in that there is actually a planet in the universe which has apes on it....

Human Traffic, IR...

Human Traffic was released in 1999. For many years all I have heard is good things about it. I’m almost certain some people claim that this is a film you have to see before you die. It took me 12 years to finally get round to watching Human Traffic, and I have to be honest,...

A Nice Film – ...

For the first time in probably 10 years I rented a film from blockbuster. The film is one which I wanted to watch at the cinema. Unfortunately it was not at the cinema long enough for me to catch it. Submarine is a British film about a boy who is coming of age. You can read the synopsis...

Harry Potter 8 Appea...

This weekend I, like many others went to see the new and final Harry Potter film. I went to see the film having never read a Harry Potter book, nor have I watched any of the previous 7 films. I would certainly not describe myself as the number one Harry Potter fan. However, I went...

Is Josh Hartnett a t...

I own the DVD for Wicker Park. It is by no means a great film. But its one I wanted to watch at the cinema and never got round to seeing. My girlfriend spotted it in my DVD collection last night and decided she watched to watch it with me. I consider the film to be pretty good. My...

Bridesmaids – ...

Bridesmaids has now hit the cinemas. Tagged with the line that it is ‘The Hangover’ for girls. Its easy to see why within the first 30 minutes of the film. It seems to be the film that everyone is talking about whether you are male or female but you cant hide away from...

The blu-rays every f...

Blu-rays have been out some time now, yet many have not made the upgrade from DVD to blu-ray. I know many people are not bothered about High Definition. You only have to look at Sky HD and people watching football in pubs. It just doesn’t appeal to people. That is of course until...

‘Comedy’...

As we are approaching the middle of 2011, I thought it would be a nice idea to post my thoughts on the Comedy genre of film so far this year and also what’s to come from 2011. A friend of mine mentioned that he is a huge fan of the film ‘the hangover’, arguing its...

The Real Facebook Mo...

When I heard there was a movie about facebook coming out, im going to be honest. I thought it was pretty lame. I heard one or two early reviews of ‘The Social Network’ and it was pretty much slated. However, these were clearly by journalists who had not seen the film and...
