Directed by Jon Chu, (4/5). I am not afraid to admit it; I am in love with Justin Bieber. Knowing little about the phenomenon of Bieber fever but thinking it would be hilariously awesome to go and see “the Justin Bieber movie”, I headed down to Hoyts, 3D glasses in hand. Little did I Read more...

Oceans

Posted 4:39am Monday 9th May 2011 by Tom Ainge-Roy

Directed by Jacque Perin and Jacque Cluzard, (1/5). Attenborough must be rolling in his…oh wait, he’s still alive. In that case, may he never ever, ever see Disney Nature’s most recent release Oceans; it will surely send him to an early grave.   Attempting to be a Read more...

Rio

Posted 4:37am Monday 9th May 2011 by Loulou Callister-Baker

Directed by Carlos Saldanha, (3.5/5). I opened the heavy door to the room where the sound of the commercial world was coming from. I then edged my way past rows of velvet red seats.

The Room

Directed by Tommy Wiseau, (5/5). Move over Troll 2 and Plan 9 from Outer Space: The Room is the pinnacle of the so-bad-it’s-funny film. Tommy Wiseau is credited with starring in, directing, writing, producing and executive producing the film, although he’s barely done any of them well Read more...

Just Go With It

Posted 5:33am Tuesday 26th April 2011 by Critic

Directed by Dennis Dugan, (1/5). Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison crew has been a bit hit and miss when it comes to making comedy films, their repertoire consisting of Little Nicky, Joe Dirt, Mr Deeds and of course, Grandma’s Boy.

Sucker Punch

Posted 5:30am Tuesday 26th April 2011 by Frances Stannard

Directed by Zack Snyder, (0.5/5). A 13-year old boy’s wet dream, this movie is reminiscent of being put through the pain of watching someone play Xbox. Sure, the player is having fun but you, the spectator are not! Here’s the film’s premise: evil stepfather sends girl to a Read more...
