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 second of two Doctor Who releases from StudioCanal to tie-in with the show’s 50th Anniversary is Daleks’ Invasion of Earth 2150 A.D. The film was released in 1967 after the overwhelming success of the first feature (reviewed here). It also continued to cash-in on the Dalek-mania that was keeping the nation keen to part…
It feels dated, the sets look ridiculous by today’s standards, and the acting is reminiscent of an episode of Tracy Beaker, but there is something enjoyably endearing about this 1965 big-screen outing for the Doctor and his most famous of enemies. Hardcore who fans (or Whovians) may moan that it doesn’t link up properly with…
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.…
Film Editor Barnaby Walter reviews this year’s most hateful, poisonous comedy starring (believe it or not) Hollywood legend Robert De Niro.
What’s coming up in Union Films this week, introducing the arrival of their new digital projector for 3D.
With the weight of virtually the entire science fiction fan-base of the world resting on J.J Abrams’ shoulders, it is heartening to hark back to the great success of the first instalment of this newly restored franchise. Taking everything that made the original Star Trek series and movies so beloved by people around the globe…
Although this movie was greeted by a critical sneer from many reviewers (and I have to be honest, I can understand why – it isn’t great), I’m rather intrigued by what the filmmakers (and studios Millennium Films and Lionsgate) have decided to do here. First, a bit of history. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released…
