Movie Review: Star Wars - The Clone Wars Posted by Stav 20 August, 2008 - 10:01 AM

Clone Wars

Star Wars hits our screens again, this time in animated form, with "The Clone Wars". The film takes place between episodes 2 and 3 in the trilogy and deals with the oft mentioned but barely seen battle between the droid army and the Jedi lead clones.

Movie Review: The Strangers Posted by Stav 14 August, 2008 - 7:47 AM

The Strangers

Another "Based on true events" movie hits our screens and while none of what we see is actually factual, the horror and torment inflicted on a young couple through the course of a night is terrifyingly plausible.

Movie Review: The Bank Job Posted by Stav 31 July, 2008 - 9:30 AM

Bank Job

Aaah. The old "Based on fact" subtitle at the start of a film! It's getting to the point where movies that say that could be about anything from mermaids to aliens.

Movie Review: The X-Files Posted by Stav 24 July, 2008 - 5:05 AM

X-Files

Mulder and Scully.One of the biggest television phenomenon's of the Nineties. The antics of the two F.B.I investigators were "must see TV." for five of The X-Files nine season's. I must confess I was an avid fan, even staying on after Duchovny had left the show and it petered out with more of a  whimper than a bang (unless you count the one between Mulder and Scully).

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Posted by Stav 16 July, 2008 - 7:12 AM

Dark Knight

Heath Ledger is amazing. A-maze-ing. His portrayal of The Joker is one of the finest screen villains I've ever seen. Every time he shows up the movie erupts into chaos and he is given a few genuinely shocking scenes (don't give him your pencil…..) it's a fantastic piece  of acting that is worthy of the Oscar buzz its creating.

Movie Review: Mama Mia Posted by Stav 7 July, 2008 - 6:58 AM

Mama Mia

The whole thing felt a little too much like a stage musical, with everyone overacting and lights and back up dancers appearing when required and then disappearing for the talky bits. I am also not a fan of Abba and may miss some of the humour of seeing their songs being used to tell a story.

Movie Review: Definitely Maybe Posted by Stav 7 July, 2008 - 6:46 AM

DefinitleyMaybe

A single father tells his daughter Maya the story of how he met her mother.The twist is Will has changed the name's in the story  so its up to Maya , and us, to guess who her mum is. Is this just your average romantic comedy or something more?

Movie Review: Get Smart Posted by Stav 25 June, 2008 - 1:35 PM

Get Smart

Another week, another remake of a classic! So what sets Get Smart apart from your Dukes of Hazards or your Bewitcheds?

Movie Review: The Mist Posted by Stav 25 June, 2008 - 1:29 PM

The Mist

Adaptations of Stephen King's works are either completely pants, (see Dreamcatcher, Sleepwalkers etc.) or fantastic (the Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me).So it was with trepidation that I took on The Mist.

Movie Review: Speed Racer Posted by Stav 12 June, 2008 - 4:23 PM

Speed Racer

Half way through this movie I thought two things one: who slipped acid into my popcorn?. And two: Am I watching a game of Mario kart?
