Well, this is nice isn't it. It's only been 6 years. I bet some of you have died since my last review. The film landscape has changed quite a bit since we last met. Ever since The Human Centipede came out Hollywood has been in love with the idea like it's the hottest new diet fad in L.A. The concept is simple: remember those old films that you love? Let's do them again but shitter. What started out as a lovely meal 30 years ago has probably...

I've not done a review for a while because I've been incredibly busy trying to not be a massive hypocrite and make some good films of my own. However, there's been so much hype about this film that I had to go and have a look. Before I get into this, I'm not a fan of superhero films as a general rule. I love Kick-Ass and The Dark Knight but that's about it. The Avengers (Or Avengers Assemble as it's more awkwardly known) is a huge cash in...

The Woman in Black is the latest film from the recently arisen Hammer studios, and stars none other than everyone's favourite gawkish prick, Daniel Radcliffe. Harry Potter wants to break away from his most famous role and be a serious actor now, and he's chosen to begin this futile quest with a scary adaptation. The Woman in Black is about a young estate agent who's sent to a small town where there's a spooky house for him to sort out and sell....

Steven Spielburg. God among men. War Horse. God among stage plays. How could a combination of the two be bad? Take a seat on Uncle Chris' knee and he'll tell you all about it. War Horse is a film based on a play based on a book, which has been adapted and directed by Steven Spielburg. The story goes that a poor farmer buys a fancy horse at the market, and his son takes the challenge of training this fancy "thoroughbred" to plough the fields....

The Artist is a silent film, which, ironically, is causing a quite a stir this award season. Silent film was of course big back in a time when almost inexplicably every film was from the perspective of a deaf person. This was an advance over the previous generation of films exclusively from the perspective of a blind person, or "radio", but there's still something not quite there. That's right, I just ranked disabilities. The Artist follows the...

I'm currently under the weather, and due to this bout of man flu, I set out today in search of a film which I could relate to in my present state. Melancholia is a film about depression and the end of the world. Written and directed by Lars "Heil" Von Trier, it stars Kirsten Dunst as the young melancholic Justine. The film portrays her family life, starting with her wedding, which just happens to turn into the worst wedding ever, and it's all...

Robert Zemeckis brings us this animated re-imagining of the classic Dickens tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and poor crippled Tiny Tim. With an all-star cast including Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, and Bob Hoskins, we should all be in for a delightful Christmas treat, right? Set in 19th century London, Scrooge is a tight-fisted penny-pincher with no interest in Christmas. I know what you're thinking. No, he's not Jewish. One Christmas Eve, he's...
