DREDD 3D

2012 DIRECTOR: Pete Travis May Contain Spoilers! CINEMA REVIEW Will we be adding this to our collection? YES Judge Dredd began life in the 1970's British comic book, 2000AD and has always been portrayed as warrior of justice, you might say. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where Megacity 1 spans from New York to Boston…

STAR WARS: EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES

2002 DIRECTOR: George Lucas May Contain Spoilers! Three years on from the omen of foreboding which was The Phantom Menace, I doubt that I was on my own when I was hanging the fate of the entire Star Wars franchise on this film redeeming itself, and not replicating the first major mistake of the saga.…

TRUE GRIT (2010)

2010 DIRECTOR(S): Ethan Coen & Joel Coen May Contain Spoilers! The Oscars are rarely the measure of a great film, as for where I'm concerned, but there are exceptions. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and my tastes are changing or the top films of the year according to the Academy are becoming more accessible…

AVATARS, BACK TO BACKS AND BAD HOBBITS?

Today sees the launch of James Cameron's 1997 epic, Titanic, now post-converted to 3D.

STAR WARS: EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE

1999 DIRECTOR: George Lucas May Contain Spoilers! Dreams shattered. Never has a film or a film maker been subjected to such castigation as The Phantom Menace or George Lucas for adding to their own body of work like this. Alarm bells rang out once the title was announced. The Phantom Menace... What do that even…

STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY

1991 DIRECTOR: Nicholas Meyer May Contain Spoilers! There have been at least three versions of this film, with the Theatrical Cut which I believe is available on Blu-ray at the moment, the UNCUT version which was available on Video and DVD and a slightly different version of the UNCUT version which was release on the…

KING ARTHUR (DIRECTOR’S CUT)

2004 DIRECTOR: Antoine Fuqua May Contain Spoilers! 2004 wasn't the best year for cinema as far as I was concerned. So when I sat down to watch this new, more realistic take on the King Arthur legend, I remember thinking that this could be the film that would redeem 2004. Over two hours later, that dream…

STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME

1986 DIRECTOR: Leonard Nimoy May Contain Spoilers! I can remember the anticipation of seeing this back in 1987. I was 8 years old and was already a Trekkie thanks to my Mum. In Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, the Star Trek universe had already opened up, with Starfleet and the Federation finally being…

DEAR JOHN

2010 DIRECTOR: Lasse Hallström NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? NO Channing Tatum has hardly gone out of his way to prove his acting chops over the past few years. Known for Step Up, G.I. JOE: The Rise Of Cobra, The Eagle and more recently…

STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK

1984 DIRECTOR: Leonard Nimoy May Contain Spoilers! SPOILER ALERT! Spock is dead! The needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few or the one as Kirk (William Shatner) and Khan (Ricardo Montalban) duked it out in the previous outing, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan, and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) movingly sacrificed himself to save the Enterprise. His…
