Back To The Future review

A true 80s classic makes a triumphant return to the big screen. Heres Sebs review of Back To The Future… Its an easy fact to forget, mind. Its in possession of one of those scripts that simply does not waste a line. Every little nuancemattersand every detail, large or small, has thought put into it. And it does so with an assured verve. It knows its funny, it knows its clever, it just wants you to enjoy the ride....

Buried review

Ryan Reynolds stars in the high concept thriller, Buried. But can a film set in one location, with just one actor possibly sustain our interest? Sometime around the mid 1980s, the phrase high concept became intertwined with a certain punch in of blockbuster. No cut-aways, no flashbacks.Buriedis resolute in keeping us boxed in. Aside from voices on the other end of a mobile phone, its just Reynolds. there are no Thurman-style heroics, no superhuman feats of strength....

Heroes Season 4 DVD review

The fourth and final season of Tim Krings Heroes arrives on DVD. But does it conclude the show on a high? The first season ofHeroesremains a landmark moment in television. Then it all fell apart. The fun, frenetic pace of the first season was almost completely absent from its follow-up. (The season also introduced the worst superpower ever: the ability to kill by dilating your pupils.) However, viewers had lost faith and, in February, the show was officially axed by NBC....

Dead Rising 2 PlayStation 3 review

Heres Ryans review… George A Romero has much to answer for. The games objectives have also become more involved. Then theres the task of clearing Chucks name. While all this is going on, there are the hapless residents to save. Combat, too, is enjoyably simplistic and gleefully messy. Is a giant foam hand better for pummelling a zombie to death than a shampoo bottle? Just how effective is a cordless power drill for despatching the undead?...

Enter The Void review

For starters, try getting your hands on any of his previous films in the UK. If youve tried already, youll know what I mean. If you havent, dont bother. His new film,Enter The Void, is just as challenging, though not as challenging to see. (More on that later.) BecauseEnter The Voidis part incredible piece of filmmaking, part gruelling test of stamina. Not such a surprise, coming from the man who madeIrreversible....

Frozen review

Heres our review… Ill say from the off, I rather enjoyed this film. Its a no-frills fright fest on ice, with bad weather and fearsome wildlife on stand-by. Its a first for the girl, while the two lifelong friends are more experienced. The best friend objects to the girlfriend being there. He feels she is encroaching on his territory, in what should be a boys holiday. No special effects mean that the trio really were perched on the ski lift for hours....

The Muppet Show series 1 episode 9 review

Charles Aznavour is the guest star in episode nine of the classic series The Muppet Show. Heres Glens fond look back… The guest star for this episode is the multi-talented performer, Charles Aznavour. As such, he barely makes an impact on the show. The musical number proves that he has an amazing voice, but its far from a memorable song. The song in question isInchworm,which originally featured in an oldSesame Streetepisode....

10 great upcoming British actors

Heres Matthews pick of upcoming talent… Im not exactly sure why one would make up for the other, but I agree with the assertion. We have some great young actors and our young footballers are rubbish. For me, thats the best way round, though. The list is based on some completely subjective criteria such as talent, potential, and marketability. Thomas Turgoose An interesting entry. His appearance inThis Is Englandwas phenomenal and his performance inSommersTown,in many ways, was even better....

She’s Out Of My League DVD review

But can it win Lukes heart? She swooned in social circles way above mine. I began to tremble like the proverbial pooing dog. And she said, through those big red lips, Ive got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby… Ad content continues below Wait a minute. Thats a lie isnt it? Yep, thats definitely a lie. ThatsTeenage Dirtbag, that is. Its not a real memory at all. This is one reason why films likeLoserandShes All Thatare rubbish....

World’s Greatest Dad review

All that changes when Kyle accidentally chokes himself to death during a bout of autoerotic asphyxiation. Suddenly, Claire is interested in him again, and students flock to his creative writing classes. Once a social outcast, Kyle is later regarded as a genius.

The Town review

Actor-turned-director Ben Affleck follows up Gone, Baby, Gone with heist movie The Town. But can it bring anything new to an already familiar genre? Sure, its about bank robbers, but the job isnt the job. Rather, its the challenge of giving us something new. Because the thing about telling a story about bank robbers is that everyones been there already. Michael Manns been there, done that. So, with all the history to overcome, youd expect Affleck to pull a fast one, right?...

20th Century Ghosts book review

Short stories have fallen out of fashion. Most of us want a story that we can really get our teeth into. And it changes his life. This will largely be a case of personal preference. But perhaps the greatest joy of20th Century Ghostsis in how clearly it illustrates Joe Hills potential. And, no, Im not joking. 20th Century Ghostsis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
