Breaking Dawn Part 2 is the finale to the teen phenomenon The Twilight Saga that has dominated the silver screen for the past 5 years. If you haven’t heard of the series, where have you been for the past half a decade? The first film was released in 2008 and the money making machine that…
The recent Hammer restorations have been sparkling gems of old-school horror fun, and this release continues this happy trend. Giving the BFI’s 2007 restoration a blu-ray outing for the very first time, Lionsgate have provided fans with a real treat. This is Hammer’s original 1958 Dracula movie (a loose adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic novel),…
Agatha Christie fans have had to wait for years to see their much-loved Belgium in high definition. Early last year, it looked as if the chance had arrived, as the US arm of distributors Acorn Media announced the release of the first six series in beautiful Blu-ray collections, fully remastered and in original UK broadcast…
Though it predictably lost to Argo, Amour did remarkably well to receive a Best Picture Academy Award nomination. The Oscars often do their hardest to pretend English-language cinema is the be-all and end-all form of cinema, and it was refreshing to see admittance this year that some movies, spoken in a different tongue, may be…
A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures is a Belgium-made CGI animated adventure aimed squarely at very young children. It’s been dubbed (rather clumsily at times) into English using the voices of John Hurt, Dominic Cooper and Gemma Arterton. Though it does, just about, work as a film in its own right, it is almost impossible not…

I think that I would have had other thoughts on Looper, had I seen it when it was released.

Fear Itself is a horror anthology series that aired on NBC nearly five years ago. It was born after the series Masters of Horror was discontinued on Showtime. Although at the time US audiences hoped the series would be given a new lease of life on NBC under the title Fear Itself, it ran out…
This is a rather quaint and warm-hearted tale about a community who decide to privatise their local railway line to keep it open after the British Railway Service announce plans to close it. Instead of allowing to die out, a group of them band together to run it themselves; a plan which is greatly helped…
Nowhere to Go may not be considered as the best Ealing effort, but it’s a pretty good one. It’s directed by Seth Holt, who went on to direct Hammer horrors The Nanny and Blood From The Mummy’s Tomb, and is a pretty fine noir thriller considering Ealing is a studio famous for its comedies. Based…
This is a movie about a talking teddy bear. But it isn’t the new Disney family movie. It’s an unfunny vulgar comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. Mark pays a thirty-something stoner whose best friend is a teddy bear who came to life one Christmas. Mila is Mark’s long-suffering girlfriend who is getting tired…
