 | How To Train Your Dragon (Video)Cute film thats good fun. - Steven SeagullI was really looking forward to seeing this movie. Its been getting decent enough reviews and I've never seen an animated movie in 3D so I was excited at the prospect of doing so. The story in How To Train your Dragon 3D revolves around a young Viking called Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) who is in everybody's eyes a poor prospect of one day becoming a more ... |
 | Looking For Eric (Film)Good film thats not just for Utd fans - Steven SeagullBefore going to see this film I had the misconception that this would be a light hearted comedy for Man Utd fans about an everyday Joe who meets his sporting idol. I was wrong in my assumption and thankfully so as the movie is also much better than I had anticipated. It begins as a downbeat tale than can be quite gritty & sad at times. We are introduced more ... |
 | The International (Video)Not a classic, but good. - Steven SeagullI didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch The International all I knew was that it was a thriller of some sort that starred Clive Owen. After viewing I felt that it had its moments but fell flat towards the end. The film is about an Interpol agent Louis Salinger (Owen) trying to uncover & expose the illegal activities of a powerful more ... |
 | Bolt (Video)Superb Stuff - Steven SeagullDisney has produced a great CGI animated movie in Bolt. It delivers everything that you would expect from a movie of its kind. It's cute, funny (humour that appeals to both kids & adults) and has an original storyline. Bolt gets quickly into the thick of things and at first it appears to be a movie about a dog called Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) that more ... |
 | Decent crime flick but could have been better. - Steven SeagullOn paper Public Enemies looks to have the potential to be a 5 star movie. Unfortunately it doesn't deliver on the initial promise it shows but it is a decent enough crime thriller from Michael Mann who has a good track record with films of this ilk. The movie is based on real events during the depression in the 1930's. It opens with John Dillinger (Johnny more ... |
 | Valkyrie (Video)Some Thrills, but not enough of them. - Steven SeagullWhen a new movie starring Tom Cruise comes out I look forward to seeing it as I feel he has a knack for picking good roles and starring in quality flicks (Collateral, The Last Samurai & Magnolia to name but a few). I thought that Valkyrie looked to have the potential to be a great film. The cast was impressive, the true story that it is based on is a more ... |
 | The Wrestler (Video)Great film both moving & entertaining. - Steven SeagullI had heard many good things in the build up to seeing this movie. The main one being that Mickey Rourke's performance is Oscar worthy and after viewing The Wrestler I can concur with this statement. It seems like we hear about a famous wrestler dying or having some sort of tragedy happen at least once a year in the papers. So there is more than a touch of more ... |
 | Terminator: Salvation (Film)Watchable action flick but a let down. - Steven SeagullTerminator Salvation was the movie I was looking forward to seeing the most this summer. I loved the first two movies but was disappointed by the third. However after viewing the trailer for this instalment of the series I got very excited, I thought it looked great. A couple of weeks before the film was due for release a lot of bad reviews surfaced (I was more ... |
 | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Film)Enjoyable but Overlong - Steven SeagullTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen is definitely one for all the family to watch on the big screen this summer. That said it is far from perfect and does have its flaws. The film opens showing us that the transformers actually landed on our planet back in prehistoric times when we were cavemen. We are then taken two years after the events of the first more ... |
 | Drag Me To Hell (Film)An average Comedy horror - Steven SeagullI was really looking forward to seeing Drag me to Hell as I am a big fan of the Evil Dead series which Sam Raimi also directed many years ago. Raimi had a real talent back then for directing comedy horror's and the question was could he still produce the goods? The answer is yes and no. Drag me to Hell is entertaining enough and has a few scary moments with more ... |
 | Blood: The Last Vampire (Film)Disappointing - Steven SeagullVampires & samurai swords sounds like a good formula for a film however unfortunately in Blood: The Last Vampire the execution of this concept is found to be lacking in a few departments. This film is based on an anime film of the same name I had seen many years ago. I vaguely remember it being quite good so I was looking forward to seeing the live more ... |
 | The Hangover (Film)Good Fun. - Steven SeagullThe Hangover has been billed by many as the comedy hit of the summer and after watching this movie I am in full agreement with this statement. The premise of the film is not the most original in that it involves four guys on a stag party getting up to mischief, we've seen it all before however its execution is delivered so well this hardly matters. The film more ... |
 | Layer Cake (Video)A Solid & Stylish film. - Steven SeagullThis is the film that made Daniel Craig a real contender for landing the then vacant James Bond role, which ultimately he did. It's not hard to see why as he oozes style & charisma by the bucket load in this movie. Layer Cake is a British crime thriller that has both style & substance. It begins with Daniel Craig's character X (we never learn his more ... |
 | Angels And Demons (Film)Hit & Miss - Steven SeagullIt's said that a book will always be better than a movie that's based on it. I disagree with this view (take Slumdog Millionaire as an example) however this does seem to be the case when it comes to Dan Brown's novels. The Da Vinci Code worked as a book and sold phenomenally well but then failed in being an enjoyable movie. I think its main problem was that more ... |
 | Collateral (Video)Class - Steven SeagullMichael Mann rarely gets it wrong with his movies. He's directed classics such as Heat, Manhunter & The last of the Mohicans and while Collateral is not quite in the same league as these films it's not far off them either. The film begins with Max (Jamie Foxx) starting his mundane shift in his cab. He is the main protagonist of the movie and much of the more ... |
 | Star Trek (Film)Engaging - Steven SeagullBeing a fan of the TV series and previous Star Trek movies I had my reservations when I saw that a remake was on the way. My two fears where was this Hollywood just cashing in on the name and making a quick buck and that the franchise would be dumbed down to suit a wider audience. Thankfully they have produced a Star Trek film that is good fun and doesn't more ... |
 | Zodiac (Video)Underrated Thriller - Steven SeagullThe mystery surrounding the serial killer known as 'The Zodiac' is one which will stand the test of time. Thankfully this movie does an excellent job in capturing many aspects of the case. The film begins in the late 60's with recreating the Zodiac's first confirmed murder in Vallejo. His other murders soon follow and are all covered within the first 25 more ... |
 | Equilibrium (Video)Good but too many plot holes. - Steven SeagullAsk yourself this qustion how many plot holes would you be willing to overlook in a movie? If the answer is less then 3 then this is not the movie for you as it is riddled with them in fact I think a block of swiss cheese has less holes! Having said that I still found Equilibrium quite entertaining which is what counts. Christian Bale stars in the lead role more ... |
 | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Video)In a word - Shameful - StevoI am huge fan of the first three Indiana Jones movies, I have the box set on DVD and Radiers of the Lost Ark was the first film I ever saw in a cinema as a kid. So I was really hyped up when I heard a fourth installment was on cards. Unfortunately this film was without a shadow of a doubt the biggest Turkey I watched last year. Even from the beginning of more ... |
 | Gran Torino (Film)One to Watch - StevoIts a pity that Gran Torino could be Clint Eastwood's last acting appearance on screen as he puts in a fine performance in this movie. The film focuses on Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) who's wife has just died. At the mourning after the funeral we find out that he has little time for the people around him be it the local priest, his sons and their family or his more ... |
 | Crank: High Voltage (Film)Good fun, but not for everyone. - StevoI was a big fan of the first Crank film and I was really pleased to see that a sequel was on its way although I wondered how they were going to do this as Chev Chelios (Jason Statham), a poisioned hitman, dies at the end of the first one! But this film doesnt follow conventional rules if anything the more out there something is the better. So with that said more ... |
