CGI naysayers: where are you now?

Their view was that people would soon tire of this particular technique and styling. And anyway, it wasnt real animation, and probably a one-trick-pony. People can be schmucks, cant they? Being a studio doing this stuff was tough, for a single person it was a full-blown nightmare. But one of the virtues of youth is the naivety to not consider the potential of failure. But where most people really didnt getToy Storywas in the core values of animated film that it upheld....

Cold Souls DVD review

It’s Cold Souls… The similaritiesCold Soulsbears with the works of Charlie Kaufman are undeniable. So much so, in fact, that Barthes has trigger the risk being labelled a derivative rip-off merchant. But there is a difference between wholesale pilfering and using other works as inspiration. The set up here is where the film is at its best. I dont want my soul shipped to New Jersey, comes the deadpan response....

God Of War Collection PlayStation 3 review

BothGoWandGoW IIcan be very, very challenging at times, but never unfairly so. Even the various QTE finishers, normally something I dislike in games these days, are still perfectly acceptable. Its just two excellent, action-heavy games that simply cant fail to entertain. Lets hopeGod Of War IIIcan live up to the lofty heights set by its predecessors. Rating: 5 out of 5

The Ugly Truth Blu-ray review

Is The Ugly Truth 2009’s worst film? Abby (Katherine Heigl) is a controlling, almost OCD, producer on a morning breakfast show. With falling ratings and warring anchors, the studios director decides what the show needs is new blood. I am sure it’s possible for you to figure out the rest from here! Dont say I didnt warn you! The only two things I cannot complain about are the audio and picture formats on the disc....

Hustle series 6 episode 6 review: series finale

But I was too smart on this occasion it turned out. He was always huge amounts of fun, outrageously generous, yet never overstayed his welcome. Will it come back for Season 7? But then maybe were conning ourselves that the BBC thinks like that? Read our review of theepisode 5 here.

The incredible Incredibles

The standards are exceptionally high, given the track record Pixar has so far presented. But one movie stands out to me in being the complete deal,The Incredibles. Pixar hasnt made a bad movie yet, but my assertion is thatThe Incrediblesis the perfect package. The supers are forced to go into hiding in the face of a litigious public. But can they deny who they really are, when the world needs them?...

Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead DVD review

A straight to DVD sequel to a straight to DVD sequel. Chris chances Wrong Turn 3… Let me start by saying that I really enjoyedWrong Turn. Well, it appears not much worse can happen than having to suffer through this diabolically awful film. As the film starts, its business as usual in slasher-ville. A group of (typically) horny college students are on a white water rafting trip. Without warning, they are attacked by the only remaining character from the original films, Three Finger....
