It’s been some time since I seen a comedy that really had constantly great zingers, and 21 Jump Street does not fail to disappoint. Further to that it’s been an even longer time I’ve waited to see Channing Tatum do something good, and at last huzzah he’s finally done it!

StreetDance 2

I enjoy a good dance film, the narratives are nonsense but
the moves are normally mind blowing. Unfortunately Street Dance 2 commits the

The first Street Dance film had real home grown charm, a
selection of Britain’s Got Talent alumni gathered together to make an enjoyable
and earnest 3D film to be [...]

of rewriting history…

This film is littered with sweet little moments, [...]

Defenders of this tripe will no doubt spout how it was written over a Century ago and every sci-fi film ever has borrowed parts or been influenced by it. Fair enough. It’s easy to see Star Wars through He-Man in this film, and perhaps least subtly Avatar. However it’s clear every sci-fi film has [...]

Paddy Considine’s monstrously bleak directorial debut
Most definitely a film to be approached in the right frame of mind, because the misery at play in this film could have you dialling the Samaritans if tackled without some kind of background info.
Peter Mullan plays Joseph, an unemployed widower with some serious rage problems (in the opening scene [...]

Kill List

stop, Hammer time? ….
 
What a bizarre watch this hard hitting British hitman thriller is. It’s not at all what I was expecting. From the outset it appeared like it was going to be a gritty, slick affair, but what transpires is far more intriguing and baffling.
Jay is an unhinged former soldier and gun for [...]
