American idiot – Olympus Has Fallen review
August 20, 2013 
1 Comment
By Richard Haridy August 20, 2013 Let’s be upfront. Olympus Has Fallen is dumb, violent, overlong, jingoistic, racist, predictable, derivative, and whatever other adjectives those with no sense of B-grade fun wish to throw at it. Sure, it is all those things, but it’s also an exceedingly competent action movie that knows exactly what it’s […]

Everyone old is new again! The teaser for Last Vegas – looking like a cross between The Hangover and The Bucket List – touts Oscar winners Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, and Kevin Kline “like you’ve never seen them before.” Douglas plays a long-time bachelor finally bound for matrimony. He brings his three […]

By Simon Miraudo April 10, 2013 Oblivion lifts liberally from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Moon, Sunshine, WALL-E, and pretty much every other science fiction film worth a damn. By cribbing from such bona-fide greats, the final product can’t help but be at least half-decent, if missing an identity of its own. The irony? Hidden […]

Now You See Me is a soon to be released thriller based around the world of magic, yet its first poster is strangely subdued. From action director Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, Clash Of The Titans), this heist film follows a group of big name magicians who manage to pull off a huge bank robbery as […]

The top 10 Batman movie moments. By Simon Miraudo. Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises has arrived in cinemas; the final entry in his Batman series, and a gauntlet thrown in the direction of anyone who dares to reboot the caped crusader in its wake. It’s been a long, beautiful, thrilling, heart-breaking, Katie Holmes-forgetting ride, and we’ve had […]

RED – Starring Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich. Directed by Robert Schwentke. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. I hate to sound like a disrespectful whippersnapper, but I’d begun to doubt the potential of action films starring actors of a certain age. The last movie to feature a fleet of pension-collecting heroes – The […]
