Review: Unknown
11th March From the trailer, Unknown looks like your standard thriller. It was really portrayed to look like a sequel to Taken. Luckily it ended up being something more interesting and much better than my expectations. Most people really love Liam Neeson but I’m still never sure how I feel about him. Yes, he’s been in a few great films, like Schindler’s List and Taken (not great...

Review: Memento
5th March Memento is one of my favourite films, I’ve seen it roughly 3 times and I’ve always enjoyed it. It’s one of those films that you learn more about it and catch more subtle things as you watch it more and more. The hook to Memento is that the main character has a memory problem, he has no short term memory. So every 10 minutes he completely forgets where he is, how he got...

Review: Youth in Revolt
March 5 As I’ve mentioned before, I seem to have a thing for Michael Cera romance films. Maybe it’s because I can relate to Michael Cera, as all my friends keep saying.

I didn’t really...

Review: Rango
March 4 I had always been really interested in Rango, since the first teaser of the wind-up fish floating across the desert. I only saw the theatrical trailer for the film the day I went to see it so I realised that I actually knew absolutely nothing about it. However, I loved the film. Rango was strange in the fact that it had a very Coen Brother’s feel to it. Just the way the characters...

Review: Paul
26th February Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are just a great duo. All their projects where they’re together are amazing. Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced and now Paul. I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - I actually have Simon Pegg’s autograph, even though I completely froze up when I met him. Spaced is one of my top 5 television shows but I knew not to get too excited for Paul. The only...
