Rebecca James headed along to the excellent outdoor showing of Iron Man 3 on Saturday night, put on by Union Films.
Considering it is from Mary Harron, the director of American Psycho, The Moth Diaries is surprisingly inept at doing anything very remarkable. Based on Rachel Klein’s highly praised novel from 2002, the film is a Canadian/UK co-production set in an American girls boarding school. However, this is more Twilight than Malory Towers, as one particular…
This appalling sixth instalment in the Fast series sees the family of lovable criminals relocate to London. They have been asked by the bulky Police officer in the previous instalment (Dwayne Johnson, obvs) to help hunt down a super-criminal (Luke Evans) who is evading capture wherever he goes. So Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and co…
Union Films will be showing Iron Man 3 outside for free, tomorrow evening.

The Hangover Part II did very well financially. It was horrible and offensive and vulgar, but it made a lot of money. Like the first film, it was sickeningly racist and homophobic, but on a bigger, nastier, more epic scale. It gave viewers a pretty good idea of what type of person director Todd Phillips…
So it’s come to the end of the year, exams are nearly over (hang in there!) and summer is tantalisingly close, but should the summer weather fail to materialise don’t fear because there is still a great line up of films to go at the Union cinema! Our last four films of the year are…
The Edge’s Film Editor Barnaby Walter talks to Wreck-It-Ralph producer Clark Spencer about his work on the film, what it’s like to work at Walt Disney Animation Studios and his thoughts on 3D cinema. Some people are still in the dark as to what a producer does on a film, so tell us a…
By titling the film Epic, it’s pretty clear what reaction director Chris Wedge was hoping to receive from his latest, animated release. And those of us who were fans of Ice Age and Robots may even have been willing to believe that there was potential for this to be the case. But despite an interesting…
Based on a true story, The Conjuring tells the horrifying story of how paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorised by a mysterious presence in their secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.…
Mike Cottrell takes a look at some excited new posters for The Wolverine and discusses how the new film may turn out when it’s released this summer.
A wave of hatred has engulfed the third entry in director Todd Phillips’s The Hangover series. This film, billed as Part III (a nod to The Godfather sequels), has been branded as ugly, unfunny and forgettable. The Hangover Part II also drew very negative reviews when it was released in 2011, with reviewers picking the film…
This week marks the start of exams, so we’re giving you just two opportunities to procrastinate and chill out from them this week! With our final Audience Choice of the year on Saturday under the Noir genre (read on to find out what has won!) and then A Good Day to Die Hard on Sunday. Saturday…
The Great Gatsby may have suffered from high expectations. The trailers were everywhere; a swirl of shimmying flappers, vintage cars and the image of Leo’s beautiful face raising a glass to us. Sadly, in a twist of irony, Gatsby’s lavish – yet shallow – parties are mirrored by Lurhmann’s tendency towards superficiality in his filmmaking.…
