Apollo 18 Movie Review

Apollo 18 is a found footage movie that takes the premise that the cancelled flight to the moon actually happened and the reason it was never publicised is because the mission went horribly wrong. We see the story unfold through the old footage, as we follow the three astronauts played by Warren Christie, Lloyd Owen and Ryan Robbins on their secret mission to deploy a series of beacons onto the moon, to apparently receive or alert the Americans to any potential threats from the Russians. We meet the crew through footage and interviews of them, which I liked, it's a unique way to introduce the characters and sets up the movie. As the crew orbit and land on the moon they find that something strange is going on, when they find a Russian LK Lander on the moon with no crew, and start to doubt the real reasons for the mission

Bong of the Dead Movie Review

Bong of the Dead is a zombie stoner movie that adds a twist to the popular genre, instead of your audience running away from the zombies the characters in Bong of the Dead want to get closer to the zombies! Tommy and Edwin are living in a spare world, much of the population has been wiped out after meteorites hit Earth causing a zombie outbreak. The two stoners are running low on weed supplies and by chance figure out that by using zombie brain as a fertilizer they can grow weed much faster! This starts the quest for Tommy and Edwin to road trip it up to the Dead Zone, in search of more zombie brains as fertilizer

Hesher Movie Review

'Sometimes life gives you the finger and sometimes it gives you... Hesher.' This pretty much sums up the movie Hesher pretty well for a movie tag line, and it's the tag line on the poster. Hesher follows the story of a kid, T.J, who has just lost his mum in a car crash. His dad is depressed and on medication, and his elderly grandmother is not as together as she might once have been. T. J is obsessed with getting his mum's car back to no avail which causes him problems with the car dealers son and fellow student at his school Dustin. He also meets Hesher

Shanghai Movie Review

Shanghai is an epic looking thriller that follows the story of Paul Soames played by John Cusack as a Naval Intelligence Office who winds up in Shanghai to visit his friend Conner. When Soames arrives, he finds Conner has been murdered, and he wants to know why. Picking up where Conner left off, Paul looks to find out who killed his friend and why using his journalist persona as cover. Along the way Paul befriends local crime boss Anthony Lan-Ting played by Chow Yun Fat and his wife Anna played by Gong Li, and finds that not everything is as it seems with the close but distant couple, who have major sway in the city

Buried Movie Review

Buried is the work of spanish director Rodrigo Cortes and stars Ryan Reynolds in the title role as Paul Conroy a truck driver from the US working in Iraq who manages to find himself trapped in a coffin, tied up and completely unsure of how he got there or why he is there. Buried is a pretty unique movie that makes the most of its low budget premise. The whole movie is filmed enterily in the coffin with just a few props to keep the story ticking over, like a Blackberry phone, a lighter some glowsticks and of course the main character

Pirates of Silicon Valley Movie Review

Pirates of Silicon Valley is a movie I completely missed first time round, and it's only recently through a recommendation that I actually got round to seeing it. Pirates of Silicon Valley is a 1999 TV docudrama based on the book Fire in the Valley and follows the early story of two groups of computing pioneers in Bill Gates, Steve Balmer and Paul Allen, who went on to form that little company Microsoft. And Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak who went on to form an almost unheard off company called Apple

limitless Movie Review

Limitless is one of those movies that really got under promoted, wrongly promoted or I just damn well missed all the hype when it was released, and yes, surprisingly it is actually pretty damn good. Limitless stars Bradley Cooper as Eddie a down on his luck writer, living in a dump that he can't afford rent on and is just about to get ditched by his girlfriend Lindy, played by Abbie Cornish

Rubber – Movie Review

Let me start by saying this, Rubber is one of those movies that is so random, bizarre and original that it's hard to even review, or in this case rather pointless. You see Rubber is one of those movies that is something you should watch just because its so unique, but I'm not saying your going to like it. Rubber follows the story of a car tire that comes to life and trundles along killing anything that gets in it's way, mostly by use of it's special power, vibrating insanely
