Movie review: Brooklyn’s Finest is an immensely frustrating film. While it never does anything to set itself apart from so many other cop dramas you’ve seen involving dirty cops, the lack of pay for their public service and the overall effect dealing with the scum of the Earth can do to a person, it actually [...]
Movie review: Gerard Butler plays Milo Boyd, an ex-cop turned unwashed, unshaven bounty hunter who gambles and drinks too much. He’s also ex-husband to intrepid girl reporter Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston). At the start of the film, she’s investigating a mysterious suicide for a story in the New York Daily News but is held up [...]
Movie reivew: Not having seen George A. Romero’s 1973 original, I can’t tell you how this film compares, but I can tell you Breck Eisner’s The Crazies is a much-needed jolt to the horror genre that proves there is still reason to keep making films that set out to raise our pulse. Something’s gone wrong [...]
Movie review: Who wouldn’t want to travel back to the 1980′s in a hot tub with their buddies and party again like you did in high school? Think about it? No jobs, no wives, no kids, no responsibilities, just you, your friends, the slopes and as much alcohol as you can consume. Well that is [...]
Movie review: Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor take centre stage in I Love You Phillip Morris. And Mark’s been along to check the film out… Published on Mar 18, 2010 There are typically only two means through which ‘gay’ movies make it into the American mainstream. The first is through prestige and ‘worthiness’. The excellent [...]
Movie review: I haven’t read a word of Leo Tolstoy’s novels so some may say I was approaching The Last Station at a disadvantage as it focuses on the final days of Tolstoy’s life. Looking even further, I haven’t seen any of writer/director Michael Hoffman’s films prior to watching The Last Station, a film that [...]
Movie review: Yuppie scum is a term that may not be heard much nowadays, but it applies to the shallow, boorish stock traders at Morgan & Morgan, the fictional New York investment bank in Julio DePietro’s acidic romantic comedy, “The Good Guy.” Shown last year at the Tribeca Film Festival just a few months after [...]
Movie review: Prospect: One small town in one of the southern states, population 1832, where everybody knows everybody else and the ubiquitous ‘Welcome To…’ sign on the town’s border feels more like the doors of a prison cell. Rhett Ryan knows these ties all too well but, as a wannabe country singer, he thinks he [...]

Movie review: Paul Greengrass’s Green Zone would have best been left to videogame developers. Adapt the action that makes up nearly 80% of the film into a first person shooter and add a few cut scenes to keep hammering home the film’s irrelevant political point and you’ve got a multi-million dollar game franchise. But no, [...]
