Head back to the 80s as Hot Tub Time Machine arrives in high definition. But theres not much on the disc to get too excited about… That said, Ive maintained since I first saw it thatHot Tub Time Machineis a blast of a comedy. Its not a great one, and inevitably the concept is better than the end result. Hot Tub Time Machines concept is wisely kept simple. Theres a hot tub....
Heres James defence of Episode One… The late 1990s were a joyous time forStar Warsfans. The big day finally came and the reaction was lukewarm at best. The reviews from critics were something of a mixed bag. American critic Roger Ebert gave it four out of five stars. Empire magazine was less favourable, giving it only three stars. Ive trawled through some of the more negative reviews to address some of the most often cited complaints....
Its exactly one year since Disney brought out Marvel. The move itself made perfect sense. It was a match made, if not in heaven, then at least in the Magic Kingdom. Of course, on the flip side, Marvel was itself in the perfect position to be bought. To outsiders, it might have seemed like a strange time to sell up. Why would Marvel consent to being bought by Disney when they seemed poised to become thenextDisney?...

Theyre the unsung heroes of the large and small screen, and seldom get the recognition they deserve. To redress the balance, heres Robs list of film and TVs trustiest sidekicks… Chums, buddies and compadres. Marians down to earth maternal instincts saved the day for her merry men on more than one occasion. And Rabies, Little Ron and co have a lot to be thankful for.

The winning combination of comedy and musical numbers continues in the fifth episode of The Muppet Show. Glen Chapman takes a look back… Its The Muppet Show with our special guest Miss Rita Moreno. Moreno won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Rita in the adaptation of the Broadway smash. She also won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for the role. A brilliant piece of physical comedy that calls back to some of the slapstick elements of silent film....
Yes, folks, its the Hollywood remake of your favourite world cinema films! The remake is that most intriguing of film phenomenon. A reproduction of any other art is regarded as just that, a reproduction. You cannot remake a book. Its just regarded as a re-printing. You cannot remake a painting. Thats regarded as an imitation or even a forgery. But film seems to base most of its legitimate business practices on, essentially, stealing from itself....
Ahead of the release of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The books are an amazing mix of comedy, romance and action. And then on the big screen, the same elements, with music as well. Luckily, that was not my job.

Heres our pick of ten movies that deserve to be watched twice… However, the crux of the story is based on engineering and invention. Basically, how the process of creating something can sometimes yield unexpected results. In this case, its time travel. But it quickly gets out of hand as doubles, paradoxes, death and deep philosophical questions ensue. Nevertheless, this is a brilliant, shining example of justhow goodindependent cinema can actually be....
The World points out. Heres Jeffs tribute to the geekiest location in cinema… They film movies in Toronto? one character says, rather incredulously, in the recent Edgar Wright extravaganza,Scott Pilgrim Vs. Toronto so often represents other cities, oranycity, that it rarely gets to play its sweet self.
