71. Review of Straw Dogs (2011)
October 25, 2011
Sam Pekinpah’s 1971 classic ‘Straw Dogs’ is one of those movies that people appreciate, but don’t love. It was clearly a product of the tumultuous time in which it was made, and is full of provocative ideas, which today seem both anachronistic and wholly upsetting. This remake from Rod Lurie, while ...

72. Review of Moneyball (2011)
October 25, 2011
Moneyball is, no question, one of the greatest films this year and the script is probably some of the finest writing that the medium has seen in years. The film is based on the book of the same name by Michael Lewis, and the adaptation of the book is superbly done. The script is brought to life in a...

73. Review of Killer Elite (2011)
October 25, 2011
Clive Owen and Jason Statham somehow have an amazing ability to make even the most mundane of films somehow strangely entertaining. Let's take Death Race for example; the film is utterly absurd and should be terrible but somehow, Statham has such an aura of cool that you can't help but like the char...

74. Review of The Ides of March (2011)
October 25, 2011
Politics can be an ugly business, especially when people are fighting for office. Even those who have faith in politicians and the system would have it shaken around the time of elections when powerful people will do anything to survive. This is something that most of us already suspected if we didn...

75. Review of Real Steel (2011)
October 25, 2011
Real Steel is a movie that seems to have a rather daft theme, that of boxing robots. One question that many people who will see this movie will wonder is why make a movie on this topic. If you are going to make a movie about robots there seems to already be a successful formula out there so why move...

76. Review of The Thing (2011)
October 25, 2011
There are two ways to create a remake; you can focus on the parts that made the movie so great in the first place, and then expand on those while adding new elements which salute the original yet also make it perfect for today's audiences. Then there is the other way, is to just remake it the same w...

77. Review of Footloose (2011)
October 25, 2011
Despite being a major hit at the time, the original Footloose movie was rather absurd in the way it refused to acknowledge that people existed that weren't white, then again, it was full of 80's fluff so we tended to overlook the bad points and just get into the groove ‘baby’. The original still pos...

78. Our Idiot Brother (2011) Review
August 25, 2011
Our Idiot Brother (2011) Review In Our Idiot Brother Paul Rudd takes on the title role of Ned who can best be described as an East Coast New York version of ‘the Dude’ in the Great Lebowski as he is living the dream of a hippie in a time where being a hippie is akin to being the last one picked in ...

79. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Review
August 25, 2011
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Review Those who have peaked at middle age may remember the ABC made for TV film Don’t Be Afraid of the dark, but even if you were alive back then there is a good chance that you don’t. The good news is that in an age where remakes are all the rage, there is a new vers...

80. The Help (2011) Review
August 14, 2011
The Help in the title is a maid named Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) who is decency personified and ably takes care of a charming toddler whose mother doesn’t give her the time of day. The toddler in question is Mae Mobley, a chunky little thing who, due to her ungainly demeanour, looks a whole lot b...
