Who doesn’t like Michael Cera? He’s the dorky kid from Superbad who was born to do comedy. Even back then it was obvious that Cera’s trademark brand of not-quite-geekiness had mass appeal for future films. So it was no surprise to many when he sprung up in the lead role beside Kat Dennings (The 40 Year Old Virgin) in Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

I had no doubts in my mind: this was going to be good. I bought it (more…)

I was going through my DVD storage units the other day and found a gem of a film that I hadn’t watched in ages, and pretty much forgot existed. Pearl Harbour is a War action movie directed by Michael Bay and produced by Bay and the famous Jerry Bruckheimer, released in 2001. The cast shines with the names of Ben Affleck , Alec Baldwin, Josh Hartnet and Kate Backinsale. The movie is a reproduction of the dramatic events in WWII (more…)

Directed by Kevin Smith and written by the Cullen brothers, Cop Out is a comedy movie that was released on 26 Feb 2010, starring Bruce Willis (as the cop Jimmy) and Tracy Morgan (his partner Paul). The cast of the movie makes it quite attractive but it is the plot that gained significant success for both actors and director. A truely funny comedy, with the meaningful sense of friendship and love, the story has become quite popular among fans all (more…)

For those of you not familiar with what Bollywood is, let’s touch base. Bollywood, long story short, is the Hollywood of India. It originated in the early 1900s, and has since evolved into a monster. Not a bad monster, just a powerful one. But what makes it so popular, in particular, in India? Let’s kick it off with the first reason.

1. It’s based in India. Yep, that’s the first reason. One of the biggest things that make it so (more…)

With the success of the first Iron Man movie a couple of years ago, it was obvious that a sequel was going to come along. Also, it seems that nearly every single comic book character is going to get his own long running series of movies as well. The first movie was action packed, witty, and cleverly written. The story was lacking originality in parts and some of the acting was a little questionable, but Iron Man was definitely a (more…)

I have to say the first time I saw this film I was inconsolable at the end and thought I would never ever get over it. It was the same the second and probably third time I saw it too. But it became like watching fawlty towers- you didn’t want to do it but you had to.

I still can’t work out who my favourite character is- John Malkovich, who has that wonderful ugly handsomeness about him, the weird piggy (more…)

Am I the only person who thinks that most top three / five / ten ‘best horror films ever’ lists are complete and utter rubbish? Seriously, it’s the same every time I open up a newspaper / magazine: as if they were written by a staff writer with nothing better to do…The same tired films, the same inadequate comments. It’s this kind of coverage that makes people who have no idea about the genre think that there are only about (more…)

Before Sam Raimi fell off the wagon—that is to say went from making films for $100 to many millions, most recently the impressed but also terrible Spiderman franchise—he was just a boy with a dream, sneaking about with his friend Bruce Campbell. The pair of them would spend summer together larking about. With no budget to speak of, film-making equipment was either stolen, borrowed or made for cheap using house-hold equipment acquired by the pair and their friends.
