Filth

James McAvoy undergoes a bold reinvention to become corrupt, alcoholic, drug-adled Detective Sgt. Bruce Robertson in Jon S. Baird’s spirited adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel. Vying for a promotion by… Read More
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

A major disappointment that just feels over worked, under developed and lazily handled by all concerned. While no one could accuse the original Anchorman of having a particularly strong script,… Read More
Raising Cain

One of the more derivative, ridiculous offerings from Brian De Palma that sees John Lithgow playing a respected child psychologist with a split personality. While his wfie gets increasingly distressed,… Read More
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers

Masked psychopath Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield yet again to stalk his niece, played again by Danielle Harris. Donald Pleasence also returns as psychiatrist Dr. Loomis, but this chapter in… Read More
The Battery

An excellent example of how to do a low budget zombie movie right. Focus on character, forget about gore and FX. Great stuff. Read More
The Warriors

I finally watched Walter Hill’s gangland classic for the first time as part of Twitch’s Full Disclosure feature. It hasn’t aged particularly well, and fails to resonate when discovered today… Read More
The Man Who Would Be King

The only film to co-star British cinematic icons (and long-time friends) Michael Caine and Sean Connery, The Man Who Would Be King is a late-career highlight from American director John… Read More
Detention

There’s a degree of method in the madness of Joseph Kahn’s all-in balls-out execution that’s quite commendable. Unwieldy fun. Read More
Zero Charisma

A brutally on-point depiction of social incompetency in nerd culture & the faux intelligence of hipster irony. It’s also funny. Read More
Kiss Of The Damned

The feature debut from writer-director Xan Cassavetes too often lets its unnecessary Euro kitsch aspirations handicap an otherwise respectable modern day vampire romance. Read More
Curse of Chucky

Despite a decent turn from Fiona Dourif (daughter of Chucky’s voice actor Brad), Curse of Chucky is pretty lame. Lacks scares, laughs & efforts to link back to original fall… Read More
This Is The End

A strangely self-reflexive, self-indulgent, yet admittedly rather successful and repeatedly amusing comedy caper that sees some of the most popular comedians currently working in Hollywod today playing themselves at the… Read More
Dick Tracy

I was wholly unfamiliar with the character of Dick Tracy when Warren Beatty’s film graced our screens in 1990, but I went to see it anyway and remember being somewhat… Read More
Bad Milo

An intriguing premise is left under-developed in this lacklustre horror comedy that has aspirations towards Joe Dante and Frank Henenlotter. Ken Marino’s irritible bowel syndrome proves to be caused by… Read More
The Lords of Salem

Until I have managed to successfully avoid the films of Rob Zombie, not particularly through any deliberate intention on my part, but simply because I have had not overwhelming desre… Read More
Before Sunrise

In the run-up to the release of Richard Linklater’s Before Midnight, it seemed appropriate to revisit his two earlier installments in the occasionally intersecting lives of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and… Read More
Pain & Gain

I sincerely believe that one day Michael Bay will make a masterpiece. To-date I still believe that The Rock is his best film. I know that Bad Boys 2 has… Read More
Sixteen Candles

One of the top tier John Hughes efforts that somehow passed me by until now. Molly Ringwald plays Samantha, and it’s her sixteenth birthday – but her entire family seems… Read More
