Blu-ray Review: Miles Teller Has The Eye Of The Tiger In BLEED FOR THIS

If you’re making a boxing movie then you’re always going up against classic heavy-hitters like Rocky and Raging Bull but Ben Younger’s Bleed For This certainly has the ‘eye of the tiger’. It punches above its weight and while it might not [...]

Action-Packed Second Trailer Shows Gerard Butler And Aaron Eckhart In LONDON HAS FALLEN

London Has Fallen looks like a silly (but enjoyable) action throwback with Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart once again battling terrorists, only this time on UK soil. This one looks to have a bigger scope than 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen, a movie [...]

The LONDON HAS FALLEN Poster Says A Lot About The Conservative Party And The Recent Election

I, FRANKENSTEIN Looks Like One Monster Of A Movie

Aaron Eckhart is a great actor – but I don’t think that even he can salvage I, Frankenstein (actually, I don’t think it – I know it). The film looks atrocious on almost every level (technically, story-wise etc). It’s a paycheck movie for [...]

Blu-ray Review: Aaron Eckhart And Olga Kurylenko Get Erased In THE EXPATRIATE

The Expatriate is an odd amalgamation of 90s thriller and 00s Bourne-style actioner. Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko star in this entertaining thriller and it’s something of a shame that this will bypass the wider audience and go straight to [...]
