Sex Tape (15) review It had to happen sooner or later. Having enjoyed a year that has seemingly delivered blockbuster after blockbuster, I’ve finally stumbled across a bit of a stinker. It’s no great surprise, given the slightly smutty nature of the title, but Sex Tape is one of the more tacky films that I’ve seen in a while. That’s ...

As Above So Below review (15) Over the past few years the horror genre seems to have veered towards blood, guts and unbelievable gore. As Above So Below doesn’t really conform to that Saw-like norm, deciding instead to do more psychological damage using more conventional fears such as claustrophobia and darkness, while also digging up any past indiscretions that are ...

Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For (18) review It seems like an eternity ago, but the original Sin City wowed me at the cinema back in 2005. A lot has changed in nine years though – Sven-Göran Eriksson was England manager back then, for example. But one thing that has stayed true to its roots is Sin City ...

Into The Storm (12A) review Do you remember Twister? It’s one of those films that’s always on ITV2 – and you always end up watching it…without ever really rating it among your favourite films. There’s just something pretty cool about movies that portray mother nature losing her rag (see also The Day After Tomorrow and 2012). With that in mind, ...
