HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 reviewed
Jul 21Lean editing, strong action, and perfectly timed emotional beats make this the best Potter flick in years. Even Radcliffe’s performance is slightly less awkward than usual.
Our reviews are short. Really short. Deal with it.
TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON reviewed
Jun 30Small moments of fun are buried deep in layers of racism, sexism, inept storytelling and a wilful disregard of bladder endurance limits.
Our reviews are short. Really short. Deal with it.
BRIDESMAIDS reviewed
Jun 22Fresh and funny, with great performances and set-pieces, but it feels about 11 hours long. A tighter cut would have brought this flick shockingly close to brilliance.
Our reviews are short. Really short. Deal with it.
INSIDIOUS reviewed
Jun 18Delivers memorable, creative scares that truly deserve to be in a timeless haunted house masterpiece– but Insidious is not that film. Let down by a tacky third act that changes the sub-genre of the film from ‘haunted house’ to ‘monster movie’, it might be immediately effective but is ultimately a disappointment.
PODCAST: Super 8 review
Jun 14I gave you written words here, and now I give you voice: Super 8 under review. Warning: has swear words and minor spoilers.
SUPER 8 reviewed
Jun 12A hark back to some timeless classics for a modern audience and those clinging to nostalgia, complete with comfortable characters, now-cliche/predictable story and unfortunately plastic CGI that feels completely out of place. But fuck it, it’s harmless fun.
Looks flashy like Star Trek, feels cozy like The Goonies, acts important like Jurassic Park and sounds fucking terrible like Transformers.
