London Has Fallen

Don’t let it into your home.

NUA Animation & Film Graduate Show

Technical excellence and brilliant storytelling

Deadpool

C'est l'adore.

A very well-observed study of aggression, competitiveness, friendship, and “maleness.”

The Danish Girl

In short, The Danish Girl doesn’t have any balls.

Star Wars : The Force Awakens

Han is dead. Shut up.

Hail! Caesar

A demented, stupid, fun, hilarious rollercoaster of a film

Spectre

Spectre verges on the stupid

Our lowdown on who should win what and why.

The Big Lebowski @ Cinema City

A very fine film.

Absolutely the film that The Phantom Menace should have been.

Spielberg machine-guns it to death

A bona fide masterpiece

It’s delicious

Exodus: Gods and Kings

“Exodus…” is impressive, but it didn’t move me.

The Imitation Game

It’s certainly not bad.

Gone Girl

Gone Girl is a damn fine film

The Equalizer

This, then, is a very graphic Equalizer.

Before I go to sleep

Flawed but thoroughly enjoyable

X-Men: Days of Future Past

It was cool and very action-y.

Edge of Tomorrow

Some of the dialogue is laugh-out-loud, face-slapping twattery

The Amazing Spiderman 2

If you liked the first several, you’ll like this one.

Noah // DVD Review

Here we go again. Yet ANOTHER superhero film.

12 Years A Slave // Review

Thanks Hollywood! You’ve solved racism. Again. Now do war and we can all go home.

American Hustle // DVD Review

It may have lost the awards-season race to more serious or spectacular runners, but American Hustle is my favourite film of the year so far.

Gravity // Review

Ground-breaking visuals, nail-biting drama and Clooney’s massive dreamy face.

Blue Jasmine // Review

If her beautifully balanced tragicomic performance doesn’t win the best actress Oscar at next month’s ceremony I’ll eat a big bag of dicks.

White House Down // DVD Review

The cinematic equivalent of having your head wrapped in flashing Christmas-tree lights while someone tries to surprise you with an air-horn.

Elysium // DVD Review

Sure, it looks good – great in fact – and the frequent action is uncompromising and well done, but it’s all a bit ham-fisted.

Pacific Rim // Review

Eeloo? Warner Brothers? Ees Guillermo Del Torro ‘ere.

World War Z // DVD Review

Zombies, eh? Can't live with 'em, can't live without ‘em wanting to eat your kids...

Fast and Furious 6 // DVD Review

This is the part Vin Diesel was born to play, not because of his thespian skills, but because he’s almost named after van fuel.

Oblivion // Review

Come for the eye-candy, but stay for the story.

Side Effect // DVD Review

If a film has a twist, but the twist is in the middle of the film, then it’s not really a twist, is it?

Zero Dark Thirty // DVD Review

Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘Where’s Osama?’ is an intelligent film - uncompromisingly so, in fact - but I question its wisdom.

Les Misérables // DVD Review

Technically it is near perfect, the performances are exemplary, the plot is classic literature...

The Hobbit // DVD Review

I wonder why Peter Jackson has decided to… That much? Yes, I guess it would make financial sense to do it that way.

Argo // DVD Review

It’s intelligently crafted, brilliantly acted, flawlessly authentic and consistently gripping.

Beasts of the Southern Wild // DVD Review

"It’s a breathtakingly brutal, tear-pissingly moving and savagely beautiful odyssey of a young girl’s struggle for survival..."

Looper // DVD Review

"the film has a cool quasi-steampunk groove to it, and it’s paced well enough that the bloody stupidity doesn’t get in the way" - Jay works his way through Looper

Totall Recall // DVD Review

Obviously, my drawers are bulging with Dick, so do I really need to make space in my DVD cabinet for yet another take on his canon?

Dark Shadows // DVD Review

Gone is the boil-in-the-bag kookiness we’ve come to expect; this is a truly sumptuous and lavish affair.

Avengers Assemble // DVD Review

This month our chef is Joss Whedon and his ingredients are prime beef, short-crust pastry, mushrooms, and a piece of dog-shit.

Battleship

So, picture the scene: A desperate Hollywood film exec scans his child’s bedroom. He senses potential inspiration and plunges his arm, elbow deep, into the nearby toy-box.

Prometheus Preview Screening // When Jay met Ridley...

Outline's Jay Freeman gives us all the gory details from his day in London meeting the big names from Prometheus...

The Artist

"Undeniably though, here a film stripped of colour and sound reminds us that it is great storytelling that distinguishes a work." - Jay reviews the masterpiece, The Artist

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

It’s high-tech, slick, completely preposterous and, while it’s not the best of the series (that would be number 1) it’s not the worst (3).

The Ides of March

Like Obama, it is stylish and intelligent; like Bush, it is twisty and dense; and, like Kennedy, it is expertly shot.

Friends with Benefits

Friends with Benefits manages to have its cake and eat it, but do Timberlake and Kunis? I think you’ll enjoy finding out.

Tyrannosaur

As a depiction of domestic abuse it is shocking but never gratuitous. Most importantly, as a story it is utterly compelling.
