Coriolanus Review

I saw the highly anticipated Coriolanus at the wonderful Old Market Hall in Shrewsbury. Does this Shakespearian tragedy prove that Ralph Fiennes can shake his iconic association with The Dark Lord?

The Devil Inside Review

dynamic_thedevilinside

The trailers for The Devil Inside promised a scary mockumentary about demonic possession that the Catholic Church didn’t want you to see. A massive let down for fans of found footage and horror alike; it lacks atmosphere, adrenaline and suspense.

dynamic_loveonapillow

As I’m slowly working my way through the 1001 Movies To See Before You Die I’ve been discovering not only classic films, but some of the most renowned actors and actresses of all time. Despite this, I still hadn’t seen a Brigette Bardot film. Le Repos du Guerrier (Love on A Pillow) is my first Bardot; she was every bit as lovely as I had expected.

John Carter (3D) Review

Like most family films at the moment, John Carter has been released in 3D and 2D. Unfortunately the new Disney release gains nothing from the extra dimension, proving it’s been a gimmick all along

The Kids Are All Right walked away with numerous accolades when it came out in 2010 and won a soft spot in the hearts of many. Is it really that special? It’s actually really rather remarkable
