I have no idea why this didn’t get a Best Picture Oscar nomination this year, but it really should have done. Well, actually I have a pretty good idea why, but let’s not dwell on the Academy’s xenophobia, particularly when they’ve just awarded Britain rather nicely with their multiple awards for The King’s Speech. Animal…

Aliens, America and atheism – Rob Leane puts Paul under the microscope

Near-as-damned impossible to view the Farrelley brothers’ latest comedy as anything but a set of outtakes from The Hangover, viewers will nonetheless find something distinctly more schmaltzy about Hall Pass. The narrative’s lifeblood runs in the same vein as 2009’s outrageous, drunken recollection comedy. Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis play Rick and Fred, married men…

Can we really hate anything that Liam Neeson does?

The Coen Brothers’ new film is ‘gloriously uncompromising’ says The EDGE…

The EDGE’s Adam Vaughan takes a look at the animated colour-changing sensation

The Adjustment Bureau, an adaptation of a 1950s short story by Philip K Dick, is a rather welcome surprise. Although it deals with a story that could have been pretentiously portentous (yes, Inception, I mean you) and self-indulgently nerdy, somehow it manages to escape this and give its audience a fun, coherent and thrilling story…

Or, maybe, you imagine him engaged in very public displays of affection juiced on drugs, booze and energy drinks. How about beating up burly bad guys, shirtless, rolling around in…

A “wonderfully cool” swagger of a movie. A true 90s classic says The EDGE…

93 disaster movies were released in the 1990’s. How many of them can you name? This writer recalls about 20 off the top of his head, and accepts the remainder must be so obscure that only the geekiest of film fanatics can name them.  This genre, and its depiction of quivering, paranoid and panic shopping…

The EDGE’s retrospective on the greatest action movie you’ve never seen…

This teen comedy-drama playfully adapted Choderlos De Laclos’ 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangeureuses into a tale of sex, sluts and cocaine. Not that different from the source material then, but here the action is relocated to 1990s Manhattan and the drama kept mostly among carnal-obsessed upper-class teens. The traffic-stoppingly gorgeous Ryan Philippe plays the anti-hero.…

The EDGE takes a look at how shockingly bad Seth Rogan’s new film really is…
