Is Paul out of this world? Becca investigates further… Nick Frost and Simon Pegg; they’re the Ant and Dec of the film industry, seen together in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and even The Adventures of Tintin, while silently accompanied by Edgar Wright, who is the director and/or writer for all of these rather […]
As a self-confessed big kid when it comes to animated movies (ok everything) I was really excited to go see Madagascar 3 and I was not disappointed, it’s actually my favourite movie of the year so far, it was hilarious, vibrant, emotional and just plain brilliant! I have now seen it twice and I would […]
Pond tells it like it is… After seeing Sinister I was quite looking forward to watching this film as it was made by the same people, and especially as I have never seen any of the previous instalments, however after sitting through the film I can honestly say it was one of the worst horror […]
Sinister I was looking forward to seeing this movie, having not witnessed a scary film in quite a while. Coming from the makers of Paranormal Activity and Insidious, both scary films, Sinister has a decent pedigree, so it seemed worth watching. The film centres on Ethan Hawke, who plays Ellison Oswalt a writer of books […]
Fresh from Mega-City One, Becca ponders whether Dredd is drokk… Another comic book gets a film adaptation (2000AD this time. Heard of it? Nah, me neither) – only this isn’t the first time the infamous Judge Dredd has been on the silver screen. With Sylvester Stallone as the title character in 1995, it wasn’t a […]

But…then there was The […]
The Sweeney How do you make a film about police in the UK cool? British police don’t carry guns and you can never get far enough away from the stereotype of the bobby on the beat. This film makes a kind of compromise and the police in The Sweeney run around carrying baseball bats. […]
Remakes are hard to pull off – especially if the film that is being remade is a cult classic like Total Recall. The original version of this film was a dystopian sci fi set on Mars and was based on a story by Philip K Dick writer of mind-bending stories. It starred Arnold Schwarzenegger .and […]
Amy glues herself to the sofa and experiences the most hotly anticipated SF on UK TV today… Well, what a start to Series 7 with shocks and surprises at every corner, it was a tremendous opener, filled with sharp writing and performances in an episode that had it all: explosions, excitement and an […]
Following the yellow brick road, Becca reviews one of the greats of the twentieth century… This film was made in 1939. It doesn’t seem possible that a film this old could have stood the very test of time for so long, and yet, here I am expressing my awe and disbelief of it. It has […]
