The Collector review

That was enough to hook me, even though the film itself strays slightly from that central concept. Its a lot, right? Im already looking forward to seeing it with other people, just to gauge their reactions to certain scenes. Its also worth venturing to the cinema to watch. As with most horror films, it always works best when accompanied by booming sound levels. The Collector is out Friday 25thJune. Rating:...

Jeff Garlin: Young And Handsome DVD review

Glen reviews Young And Handsome, the stand-up DVD from Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Jeff Garlin. And he likes what he sees… I can only imagine that the cover for this DVD is deliberately awful. Im not saying that Garlin isnt a handsome man, just that the photo is really quite bad. Material largely focuses on married life and the feelings of inadequacy that come with it. Hes an easy-going, natural comic....

The Princess And The Frog Blu-ray review

Disney’s return to hand-drawn animation looks stunning in high definition. But heck, it gives it a really good go. And whats more, there are moments here that simply wouldnt work anywhere near as well in CG animation. Take the sinister moments when the villain of the piece, Facilier, is really hitting top form. Its quite brilliant, and one of the highlights of a very good film. And thats just whatThe Princess And The Frogis....

EIFF 2010: World’s Greatest Dad review

A terrific Robin Williams comedy, from the mind of Bobcat Goldthwait. Carl warms a lot to World’s Greatest Dad… This film was a major shock to the system. Lance feels unappreciated everywhere he turns. At his work as a teacher he is ignored and not taken seriously. Even his girlfriend worms out of spending time with him. However, he soldiers on, even when he finds his son choking himself while masturbating....

The Men Who Stare At Goats DVD review

Ad content continues below The result is a mixed affair. An amusing look at wacky mind control research financed by the military is closer to what the movie achieves. Clooney is funny, but he does his funnyman act we have seen many times before. No extras were included in our review copy. The Men Who Stare At Goatsis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store. Rating: 3 out of 5

EIFF 2010: Jackboots On Whitehall review

It’s got a dose of Team America. A bit of Braveheart. And a whole host of laughs. Well, you would probably getJackboots On Whitehall. Ad content continues below And thats roughly only the first half an hour of the movie. As for the style and effort that goes into the puppetry here, its actually incredibly impressive. It may be on a small scale, but it is grand in the way it does it....

EIFF 2010: The Red Machine review

Carl catches up with The Red Machine at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Now, can someone make him a 1935 buddy movie? (Any filmmakers out there that want to make a 1935 buddy movie, do it. It would be brilliant. This film convinced me.) He reluctantly agrees, with the latter being the main reason for doing so, of course. In fact, it starts to undo the good work of the other....

Human Target Vol 1 : Chance Meetings review

Want the clues for why Human Target makes such an interesting TV series? However, hes also concealing the fact that hes having an affair. A battle with inner demons and life-threatening adrenaline addiction. All of their double lives are set to unravel at huge personal cost. The relationship between father and son, though, is not all it comes off as. A brooding animosity between them has meant both have hidden involvements in the chain of events....

Overall,Alice In Wonderlandis like an unexpectedly polished diversion that delights briefly, but is forgotten rather rapidly. Movie: Alice In Wonderlandis out now on Blu-ray andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store. Rating: 3 out of 5

Button Man: The Hitman’s Daughter graphic novel review

John Wagner is legendary for his creation of 2000AD legendsJudge DreddandJohnny Alpha: Strontium Dog, amongst others. Arthur Ranson gave the stories photographic-style realism. Harry X is a hard man with a conscience. But Harry fought against the game and got himself into plenty of trouble for it. Button Man: The Hitmans Daughtermoves the story on, and creates a strong leading female role. She is in the hideout house when her father is shot, and vows to get revenge....
