Oblivion Review: A Collage of Sci-fi

Sci-fi is a popular stable of fiction and we have seen many great stories in the genre. It is a genre that has many avenues to explore and Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion certainly uses as many sci-fi elements and tropes as possible.

Evil Dead Review: A Blissfully Excessive, Gore-Soaked Little Treat

Well, that was something. It goes without saying that when it comes to potential fanboy fury, early Sam Raimi projects are to be approached with a level of trepidation akin to pulling on the tail of an ornery crocodile. But with a significant budget allocation for fake blood and committed-bravado (to the excessive) director Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead update, while not a revamp of the “boom-stick” variety, is a wickedly gore-soaked little treat.

Jurassic Park 3-D Review: Marriage of Movie and 3-D Works

“What kind of park is this?” “It’s right up your alley,” says Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), answering a skeptical yet intrigued Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) early on in the updated 3-D version of Stephen Spielberg’s 1993 dinosaurs-run-amok classic Jurassic Park.

Trance Review: Danny Boyle Excels Once Again

Danny Boyle has had a bumper few years, earning an Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, making his dream project, 127 Hours and earned massive praise for the 2012 London Olympic opening ceremony. After years away, he has returned to making a British set movie with Trance, which pleases as both a mainstream crime-thriller and a more cerebral psychological thriller.

Outside of The Twilight SagaThe Host is Stephanie Meyer’s biggest novel and since the success of her supernatural series, her sci-fi novel has been adapted. There is a stronger cast and director for The Host, than the Twilight Saga but how does it fare on its own terms?

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review: The Wrong Kind of Dumb

It’s quite the rare (and somewhat unsettling) occasion when I wish a movie was dumber. Don’t get me at all wrong G.I. Joe: Retaliation is utterly brainless – moronic – but it lacks the unintentional, campy hilarity that made the original an unequivocal guilty pleasure for me back in 2009. This sequel stands as the very rare occasion where its upgrades – cast, action execution, hero characterization – actually work against the inherently silly nature of it all, resulting in bland schlock rather than kitschy gold.

Welcome to the Punch Review: Strong Action does not Substitue a Weak Story

The British film industry can be a very strange beast, as it acts as half-way house between Hollywood and Europe and where movies are seen to have the potential to break into the American market. This is certainly the hope for the British action-thriller Welcome to the Punch, which looks impressive, but is filled with many clichés and plot holes.

Olympus Has Fallen Review: Die Hard in the White House

The oddly hilarious new thriller Olympus Has Fallen has and will continue to earn comparisons to Die Hard. Such comparisons are understandable, but they do the action classic a disservice.

‘Admission’ Review: Accept Fey, Deny the Film

Admission spews multiple plots and resolves them without ever finding a clever or insightful way to bring them all together to say something about its lead character. A little bit of this and a little bit of that can go a long way, but this jambalaya tastes rather bland.
