FUNNY GAMES U.S.

Pretentious, shocking, pointless. Funny Games U.S. is the worst film of the year which is only made even more insulting by it’s fine direction and chilling performances.

CHARLIE BARTLETT

A movie about a rebellious high school kid who tries to be a rebel AND sensitive? I kid you not, they’ve tried it, and here’s what I made of the result.

WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY

Judd Apatow decides to spoof a little more obviously with this take on WALKING THE LINE. Does it bear repeat viewing? What’re the extras like? This, and more, inside…

SMART PEOPLE

A comedy about a bunch of people who think they’re clever but have no social skills - with Ellen Page attached!

SPEED RACER - Ray’s Review

Being an audience member at SPEED RACER is like being Malcolm McDowell in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, except our eyes are pasted open by the paralysis-inducing wretch of color and light. We weep, not for experiencing our first emotion, but rather our last.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN?

Morgan Spurlock, the man who did so much to smack down McDonalds, returns to our screens again with a witty angle on global terrorism. But is it actually any good? I’m not so sure…

SHROOMS

A horror about college kids taking drugs in the woodlands of Ireland. It’s even worse than it sounds…

IRON MAN - Ray’s Review!

A rock and roll, metal crunching, twelve foot monster dick of a superhero movie! This is the must-see, unbeatable comic book adaptation we have been waiting for!!

IRON MAN - Matt Holmes review!

It’s loud, it’s refreshing - Iron Man could be the most faithfully adapted superhero movie of all time. Marvel have delivered a confident and bold first film to their studio’s cannon.

P2

Master of the slasher genre Alexandre Aja returns with an original screenplay for us, but this time he’s devolved directorial duties to Franck Khalfoun. Not a great idea methinks.
