The Cabin In The Woods (2011)

The Cabin In The Woods (2011)
I can’t remember the last time I left the cinema feeling so frustrated. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not frustrated at the film itself. I’m frustrated at having to review the thing for the benefit of those yet to see it while I’m dying to mention 101 things that I can’t...

The Puppet Monster Massacre (2010)

The Puppet Monster Massacre (2010)
You already know the formula by now – a bunch of teenagers are lured out into the middle of nowhere with the chance of winning some big money only to be bumped off one by one by a creature created by a mad, Nazi scientist. There’s some gratuitous nudity, plenty of insane gore and an [...]

Titanic 3D (1997)

Titanic 3D (1997)
Re-released to mark the 100 year anniversary of one of history’s most famous tragedies (or for you more cynical readers; a chance for James Cameron to milk some more cash from his obsession with stereoscopic filmmaking) Titanic 3D sees one of Hollywood’s most successful blockbusters sail...

Lobos De Arga (2011)

Lobos De Arga (2011)
AKA Game Of Werewolves (IMDb) AKA Attack Of The Werewolves (UK release title). There’s no point in beating about the bush with a movie like this. It’s the best werewolf movie to have been released in years and it’s one of the best comedy horrors that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing...

This Must Be The Place (2011)

This Must Be The Place (2011)
This film will divide opinions. If you’re impatient or impervious to the charms of Sean Penn, you’ll be unamused. On the other hand the cast also boasts Frances McDormand, Harry Dean Stanton, Judd Hirsch and a trifecta of performances (live music, a soundtrack and acting) from David Byrne....

Switch (2011)

Switch (2011)
Having seen Eric Cantona in Ken Loach’s brilliant Looking For Eric (2009), I was intrigued by his latest acting endeavour in French thriller Switch. Firstly, don’t be fooled by the British artwork for this film, which shows Cantona wielding a gun in an action hero stance with an exploding car and...
