    Rebecca James headed along to the excellent outdoor showing of Iron Man 3 on Saturday night, put on by Union Films.

  • Review: The Moth Diaries ★☆☆☆☆

    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 […]

  • Review: Fast and Furious 6 ★☆☆☆☆

    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 […]

  • Review: The Hangover Part III ★☆☆☆☆

    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 […]

  • Interview with Wreck-It-Ralph producer Clark Spencer

    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 […]

  • Review: Epic ★★★☆☆

    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 […]

  • ‘Ugly’ and ‘unfunny’ comedy The Hangover Part III receives massive critical hatred

    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 […]

  • Review: The Great Gatsby ★★★☆☆

    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.
