Splice (Review)

Ever since Frankenstein first came alive in the early 20th century, film has been frequently used to preach about the horrors of playing God in the laboratory. And just in case Flubber or The Nutty Professor 2 wasn’t incentive enough to put down those test tubes, here comes indie writer/director Vincenzo Natali — best known for his existential cult hit The Cube — with the provocative sci-fi horror Splice.

But viewer discretion is advised; Natali’s mostly [...]

Killers (Review)

Ladies and gents, the first sure-fire awards contender of 2010 has landed! It’s called Killers and it’s going to take the Golden Raspberries by storm.

If you thought the similarly themed Knight and Day was bad, wait till you see this vacuous spy comedy from The Ugly Truth director Robert Luketic. Killers sees Luketic take a desperate swing at genre after genre in a hope he [...]

Me and Orson Welles (Review)

If you’re a teenage superstar attached to a mammoth Hollywood franchise, there comes a time in your career when you must prove your worth as an actor and star in a low-key adult drama.

Inception (Review)

If I were to personify originality’s place in Hollywood over the last decade, it would be that of a famished drifter crawling on all fours through the desert, holding onto life with the faintest grip. Originality’s canteen ran dry not long after the stellar year of 1999 – notable for The Matrix, Arlington Road, Fight Club and The Sixth Sense – when Hollywood vultures producers realised they could lazily repackage novels, comics and old films at a fraction [...]
