Get Him To The Greek review

In other reviews Ive done of comedies, Ive gotten some flack from people for comparing two movies. For instance,Hot Tub Time MachineandThe Hangover. Comparisons are inevitable, and an important part of actually communicating just who I think would enjoy this movie. If you enjoyed movie A, you might like movie B. It seems reasonable to me, if two movies are similar, to compare them. When it comes toGet Him To The Greek, I can honestly compare it toForgetting Sarah Marshall....

Iron Man 2 Xbox 360 review

On paper, it looks fairly good. And, most importantly, the people who made it have openly acknowledged how terrible the firstIron Mangame was. You could be forgiven some optimism. Low res textures, simplistic models (worse than its predecessor, in fact! ), a rubbish draw distance. It would be just about acceptable as a PlayStation 2 game, but on the Xbox 360? Cheadle and Jackson dutifully reprise their roles. (You have to make your own fun....

Valhalla Rising DVD review

This isnt a balls-to-the-wall swords and sandals action epic. Its much more introspective and contemplative film than the sleeve would lead you to believe. Mads Mikkelsen is fantastic as the warrior One Eye. With his character being mute he has no dialogue, but through his actions he makes a compelling protagonist. The film has a mostly muted colour pallet, apart from the dream scenes that feature red heavily. Huge credit should also go to the makeup department, as the look of the characters is absolutely fantastic....

Bikini Girls On Ice DVD Review

Matt reviews the low budget horror movie Bikini Girls On Ice. Does its content live up to the greatness of its title? However, you get the occasional gem, so I do like to dabble every once in a while. And what a glorious, glorious titleBikini Girls On Iceis. Except, wouldnt you bloody well know it, their bus breaks down on the way. Will they be able get away etc. So far, so familiar, and ever so slightly worrying....

Greenberg review

It hasnt ever produced any notable hits or stars and remains a distinctly film school branch of cinema. His one and only commitment is looking after Mahler, the family dog. Ad content continues below Greenberg also hooks up with an old friend, Ivan (Rhys Ifans). The easy going Ivan acts a similar foil for Greenberg as Florence does. Greenbergis a film in which quite a lot happens, but in a haphazard, patchwork way....

She’s Out Of My League review

And so begins an unlikely romance. Shes Out Of My Leaguehas one main running joke, an attractiveness rating system. Once again, yadda yadda. Baruchel and Eve put in strong performances as the leads. They are suitably mismatched, but both give their characters enough life to raise them above stereotype. Its the supporting cast that really stand out, though. This is a classic example of a DVD movie. Rating: 3 out of 5

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games preview

No problems at all. Not so withCity Of The Daleks. This is quite a series opener, says Phil Ford, the episodes writer. Many strands have come together to create the game. But this year its different. Its really a 17-episode series this year [13 of which are on TV], Ian says. Its more episodes, just interactive. Weve worked closely with the games producers and those on the TV series. The game is achieving what we believe, as a public service broadcaster, we should be doing....

The Road DVD review

But hes fantastic here. Regular Hillcoat collaborators Nick Cave and Warren Ellis provide a fantastic score to accompany the film. This is an area where so many films with a post-apocalyptic setting fall down. TakeThe Book Of Eli, which was released earlier this year, as a fine example of this. Theres also use of stock footage that was digitally altered for use in the film. Hillcoats direction here is stunning....

4.3.2.1 review

Theres Ophelia Lovibond as Shannon, Tamsin Egertons Cassandra, Emma Roberts as Jo and Shanika Warren-Markland as Kerrys. And its a film too that has an awful lot of pace to it. Perhaps4.3.2.1sbiggest problem, though, is that it needs it. However, theres no doubt at all that you get your moneys worth. Not any more:4.3.2.1is funny, fast, interesting and entertaining. And while its far from a perfect beast, its one very worth watching....

[REC] 2 review

This review containsspoilersfor[REC]. You may have noticed over the weekend that the summer sky darkened over your local multiplex. On Friday, a sequel rose from the pit to make war against God. It promised nerve-jangling horror and a strong sense of religious terror in all who beheld it. That particular abomination is calledSex And The City 2. No one gets out until that mission is complete. Between them and their goal stand hordes of former people, now infected demons....

Armored Blu-ray review

With Nimrod Antals Predators hitting the cinemas soon, Ryan checks out the directors previous film, Armored… And considering Antals next project is the forthcomingPredatorsmovie, I scrutinisedArmoredwith considerable interest. The premise is also unusual, if nothing else. (How many action and suspense movies have contained a suspicious cop whos convinced hes heard something? Too many to count.) Most importantly, there are just enough crashes and bangs to keep action fans happy too....

Blur Xbox 360 review

Theres no getting away from it.Blurcan be downright cruel. You have a go at counter, or swerve to avoid it, but its too late. You clatter over the line, your vehicle in ruins. Brash, noisy and aggressive, they turn every race into a constantly shifting, chaotic whirl. Dotted around the track, power-ups are collected by simply driving over them. To add extra strategy to the proceedings, these power-ups can be used in several different ways....
