Guest Review: The Avengers
3rd May
Written by: Rainbow
I have to digress briefly and mention my increasing intolerance for fellow moviegoers.
Throughout the entire film I had a fellow patron rattle her and her child’s hands in chip packets. Seriously these things should be banned from cinemas. They are distracting and heavily impact on the enjoyment of the film for others. I am taking a stand. No chips. No slurping your drink – if it’s empty, slurping won’t create any more Coke, either buy a bigger one or drink slower. No sniffing, coughing or TALKING! If you want to chit chat, LEAVE!
I am disgusted with the constant disregard for others enjoyment. I hate having to get up mid-movie and dash to the toilet but if it’s necessary it must be done. I don’t stomp up the stairs like a hippo from Fantasia, I like to think I … Read More »
Captain America Review: “a mildly entertaining affair”
2nd August
Written by: M_L!nkster
Summary…
We meet our lead as a small boy who is taken by propaganda and wants to enlist and have the opportunity to ‘lay down his life for freedom and his country’. It takes the character of mad scientist (played by Stanly Tucci ) to give us insight into wholesome values that drive this young man.
Suffering from every aliment under the sun the Cap’t is skinny, weakly, spends his time getting bullied and getting rejected from enlistment camps. Tucci’s character decides to enlist him into a program to create super soldiers, here we see that despite his physical limitations the young cap’t is powered by the heart of a lion and counselled by a wise mind.
It is at this early stage of the film we meet the rest of the supporting cast Peggy; an MI 6 operative working in … Read More »

‘The Avengers’ Concept Art
28th July
Written by: Stoic Taco
Yes, I know I am late.
I am very sure that everyone has already seen these images for the forthcoming epic that is The Avengers on pretty much every other film, comic, fan site out there BUT I don’t really care…because these are just too cool and look amazing not to have on my site.
So here they are, fresh from the Marvel website!
This is the official landscape poster that features all the players in one glorious image!
Let’s take roll call. And look at the images up close!
Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)
To be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of this character in Iron Man 2 so here’s hoping…
Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr)
I really dig the background images behind Iron Man, a combo from both films.
Bruce Banner aka The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)
In his very … Read More »

James Mangold Directing The Wolverine
17th June
Written by: Stoic Taco
Thanks to ScreenRant, it’s been confirmed that James Mangold will be taking the reins of the next chapter in everybody’s favourite mutant starring Hugh Jackman, The Wolverine.
After a long and exhaustive search conducted after the previous director Darren Aronofsky walked away from the project citing concerns over the time he would need to spent overseas away from his family. For a time there was list of 8 different directors being touted as all possible replacements, but Mr Mangold has been crowned as victorious.
James Mangold, director of Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Girl, Interrupted, and Cop Land, has some very big shoes to fill in Darren Aronofsky’s absence. Not only does he have shoes to fill but he has been tasked with getting audiences to take Wolverine seriously again.
Hugh Jackman makes a BRILLIANT Wolverine. The man captures the essence, … Read More »
