Top 10 frat pack movies

But with frat packers Jack Black and Ben Stiller in the line-up, you cant go too wrong. Remakes can go on to great fame, or face great failure. Fortunately for the boys, this movie was a success. That was definitely due to the characteristic Frat Pack humor. Wilson and Stillers relationship benefited the movie, as they played two very believable police detectives. Vaughn, on the other hand, tried a role as a more serious villain, albeit still comical....

EIFF 2010: The Last Rites Of Ransom Pride review

and decides that shell do everything to get his body back. Which, apparently, will do for a swap. The devil wont mind who it actually is, apparently. Oh, hes got a dog. He goes and lots of shooting occurs, considering this is a Western and all. Well, its a big pile of shit. You want to go down a few more? Not only are they intensely annoying, but they completely bring the viewer out of the story....

Looking back at Joel Schumacher’s Tigerland

Nevertheless, they soon strike up a friendship. Wilson lets Bozz know he will kill him no matter what it takes. Thoughts & Reaction Tigerlandis not the sort of film you would expect from Joel Schumacher.

EIFF 2010 Round-up: Ollie Kepler’s Expanding Purple World, Toy Story 3, 22 Bullets reviews

Its what makes him who he is. It pulls us into his mind and takes us along for the ordeal. However, before Andy can decide, they are mistakenly given away to Sunnyside Daycare Center. Toy Story3 gives you exactly what you want. Everyone is as good as they were before and it almost feels like no time has passed at all. When it comes tothatscene in the film, (The button, push the button!...

Sony Move and Microsoft Kinect: the next generation of motion control?

The key to the Wiis success was, of course, its courting of the emerging casual market. Microsoft Kinect First up, theres Microsofts Kinect for the 360. Inevitably, the technology offered by Kinect comes at a price. Which brings us neatly onto the subject of… More than a little creepy, in our humble opinion. For Kinect owners, perhaps the most exciting prospect is the forthcoming motion sensor-enabled release ofForza. We defy you not to see it and shudder…

Jonah Hex review

Josh Brolin valiantly tries to make Jonah Hex work. Sadly, he’s onto a major, major loser here. And Megan Fox doesn’t help, either… Jonah Hexis a questionable property to adapt. For one, its out of DCs traditional area of expertise. Theyve mostly had success with big budget capes and cowls flicks involving Batman and Superman. The steampunk/weird west setting is one that is really difficult for audiences to accept. If Will Smith couldnt do it during the heights of his celebrity power, nobody can....

The 12 best pure Hollywood action movies of the 1990s

Thats been the tricky question that weve had to unconvincingly answer before putting this list of titles together. Its not been an easy list to compile. There were two impressive action movies about a plane hi-jack in the 90s. Plus Kurt Russell simply doesnt get enough love for being the everyman action star. The Mask Of Zorro Do you know how to use that thing?Yes. The pointy end goes into the other man....

The Sims 3: Ambitions review

Then came the release of TheSims 3: World Adventuresin November 2009 and it all started to go wrong. In theory,World Adventures was a great expansion pack forThe Sims 3. Traveling around real world places with your Sims sounded as if it would be packed with fun. Sadly, though, the game was so buggy that it simply became unplayable. InstallingWorld Adventuresmeant the kiss of death to all of my established Sims households....

Top 10 Nicolas Cage roles

Just what are the finest screen roles of Mr Nicolas Cage? He can be a little hit and miss, to put it mildly. Whether this works or not is debatable, but when hes good, he can be very good indeed. Here are what I consider to be Nic Cages top ten roles: 10. After reviewing the footage a few times, Vaughn got what Cage was going for and liked it....

La La Land DVD review

Julian checks out the DVD release of La La Land. But does he like what he finds? Marc Wootton first came to prominence in Channel 4s reality sitcomMy New Best Friend. The contestants chosen were far from innocent parties. The problem with Woottons subsequent work, however, is his choice of targets. Take 2005sHigh Spirits With Shirley Ghostman. These people were already disbelievers and, as such, had no agenda to uncover and nothing to lose....

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Wii review

Nintendo serves up its best game in years. So, you have to wonder how Nintendo could expect to top it with a sequel. You dont have to play far into the game to get your mitts on new Power Suits. Cloud Mario is able to create a limited number of temporary platforms out of thin air. Early on, theres little challenge to using this ability. Often it’s possible for you to fall back on long jumps to correct mistakes and leap to safety....

Heartbreak Ridge Blu-ray review

Clint Eastwood stars as a ruthless drill instructor in 1986s Heartbreak Ridge. But does the drama have what it takes on Blu-ray? Looking back, the 80s didnt give us the best of Clint Eastwood. Nor did they show a side to him that each of his other decades on screen did. In the 60s he emerged from the shadow of a TV show to light up Sergio LeonesDollarstrilogy. Hardly a golden age....

Top 10 escapees from parallel and virtual realities

They come from parallel universes, alternate or virtual realities. There arespoilersfor the films listed, so skip any you havent seen yet. Ad content continues below 10. Hellboy (2004) The intended escapees inHellboyare the least successful in our roundup. They never even got a peek into our world. The One (2001) Yulaw is the most well travelled of the alternate universe residents. Not a very straightforward journey, but on the trail to a happy ending, perhaps....
