Fantastic Four

Posted 1:13pm Sunday 30th August 2015 by Maya Dodd

Rating: 2/5 A t best, the 2005 version of Fantastic Four was average. The acting was poor, the storyline was mediocre, and the flexible guy really freaked me out. But with Miles Teller now playing Reeds Richards (the flexible one), I had hope for the revival of Fantastic Four. Teller is Read more...

Trainwreck

Posted 1:10pm Sunday 30th August 2015 by Shaun Swain

Rating: 3/5 Judd Apatow’s rom-com, Trainwreck, is anything but a trainwreck — rather, it’s a tightened, secure and mostly enjoyable ride. Trainwreck is about magazine writer Amy (Amy Schumer), who is a heavily career- and goal-oriented woman who barely gives the concept of Read more...

Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation

Posted 1:31pm Sunday 16th August 2015 by Maya Dodd

Rating: 3/5 I never used to be a fan of the Mission: Impossible franchise. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it — or maybe I was jealous of Katie Holmes — but with Tom Cruise’s love of Scientology and his overwhelming arrogance, I don’t know why I’d have ever Read more...

Les Combattants

Posted 1:28pm Sunday 16th August 2015 by Cameron Evans

Rating: 3/5 With nine nominations at the 40th César Awards, Les Combattants’ arrival on the big screen was much anticipated. While the film offers the audience an unconventional and interesting romantic comedy, it often teeters on the line between mediocre and good. With some Read more...

Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 16th August 2015 by Shaun Swain

Rating: 4/5 As the old saying goes, “it’s not the destination that counts, it’s the journey” — in the case of the 1200-year-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, there really is no other way to put it. But while it is the journey that truly counts, it’s nothing Read more...

The Mafia Kills Only in Summer (La mafia uccide solo d’estate)

Posted 1:26pm Sunday 9th August 2015 by Greta Melvin

Rating: 4/5 In The Mafia Kills Only in Summer, Pierfrancesco “Pif” Diliberto portrays Sicilian life from the 1970s to the 90s — a time when the Mafia, known as the Cosa Nostra, were fighting for supremacy against government officials. Despite this serious subject matter, this Read more...

Mr Holmes

Posted 1:23pm Sunday 9th August 2015 by Maya Dodd

Rating: 4/5 In my mind, Benedict Cumberbatch will always be Sherlock Holmes. My utter love for Benedict Cumberbatch in this role made me a little sceptical of Ian McKellen’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in Mr. Holmes, but his performance is worthy of recognition and, perhaps, even an Read more...

Self/less

Posted 1:20pm Sunday 9th August 2015 by Andrew Kwiatkowski

Rating: 1/5 Disappointingly, it turns out that everything good in this movie was packed into the trailer. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Damian Hayes (Ben Kingsley) is directed to Professor Albright (Matthew Goode) who tells him about “shedding” — a medical procedure where Read more...

The Guest

Posted 1:15pm Sunday 9th August 2015 by Jaxon Langley

Rating: 4/5 In 2011, director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett debuted their slasher film, You’re Next. The pair have now returned with The Guest — a thriller film with gore and pitch-black humour that offers the audience a slightly different take on home invasions. Following Read more...

Ant-Man

Posted 2:19pm Sunday 2nd August 2015 by Maya Dodd

Rating: 3/5 While I’m a huge fan of the Marvel films, and the concept of a universe teeming with superheroes is my wildest dream come true, my expectations of Ant-Man were incredibly low. Ants, while known for their strength, are not something that I would rave about. They aren’t Read more...
