Killer Elite review

Jason Statham plus Clive Owen plus Robert De Niro should result in Duncan’s favourite film. Yet that movie isnt the one youll be watching. Said opening also has the good grace to inform us that its set in the 80s. My God, I can virtually hear the power ballad. And by this point, Clive Owen hasnt even appeared yet. Could this be the first ever five star Statham film? And a long way from it....

Warrior review

Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte star in the pumped-up mixed martial arts drama, Warrior.

Straw Dogs review

Sam Peckinpahs Straw Dogs gets a remake, but how does it compare to the original? The house itself is in good condition, but the barn needs work. Thing is, Charlies still got eyes for Amy, as do most men in the town. Is what we perceive as civility and principle really just a cover for our own murderous impulses? Such is the question at the heart ofStraw Dogs. If youve seen the original version ofStraw Dogs, you know what youre in for with the remake....

30 Minutes Or Less review

Ruben Fleischer’s high-concept comedy 30 Minutes Or Less is out in UK cinemas today. But is it worth your time? Pop quiz, hotshot. Theres a bomb on Jesse Eisenberg. If Eisenberg doesnt rob a bank and get a hundred thousand dollars for Danny McBride, it blows up. What do you do?What do you do? No, this is not Speed 3. A UB40 concert on a 20mph ocean liner killed off the possibility of that threequel....

Creature review: is it really the worst film of the year?

Creature is arguably the biggest box office bomb of the year. Thus, we had to see it, to see if it was really that bad. There was no all-consuming star. There was no massive budget. Given this knowledge, I had to go see it. Little do they realize that the legends are true. Oops, looks like weve got spam in a cabin. Creatureis an updated, sleazier version of a 1950s monster movie crossed with a 70s hixsploitation movie....

Star Wars: Den of Geek goes Jedi training with Nick Gillard

I happen to think that Jedis are pretty cool. All of which has led him to me: a floppy-haired nerd with a dictaphone. Hes going to teach me how to fight. Mercifully, Nick turns out to be a friendly guy. I hate that, he says, contorting his face in disgust. Americans always say that. Will you be my sensei? he continues, in a mocking transatlantic drawl. I decide to keep my martial arts hoodoo to myself....

The top 5 greatest light gun games

While still fun, they dont provide the visceral thrill of holding a real light gun. Instead, the experience is more like fending off a zombie invasion with your TVs remote. The NES Zapper and Duck Hunt How could we leave this out? Oh, and later on clay pigeons, but they arent as cute. Operation Wolf,however, was everyones favourite, and rightly so. Saturn Stunner and Virtua Cop By 1994, light guns had gone through a turbulent few years....
