The Raid: A Body Count

How many people died in The Raid: Redemption? We actually counted.

Alien cupcakes

To celebrate Prometheus, here's the life cycle of Ridley Scott's Alien. In cupcake form.

Snow White and the Huntsman

More like So Shite and the Huntsmeh

Review: Top Cat: The Movie

Most ineffectual.

Review: Moonrise Kingdom

Hilariously daft, amiably warm, gorgeously colourful and generally all-round awwwwwwww

Review: The Innkeepers

Engaging? Yes. Realistic? Yes. Scary? Not so much.

Review: Red Tails

The Help meets Hot Shots! Part Deux

Review: Ill Manors

Plan B's movie isn't crap, so rather than write an essay, I reviewed it in a rap.

Review: Prometheus

Stunning. Ambitious. Provocative. Disappointing.

Review: Casa de Mi Padre

Will Ferrell no puede hablar Español. Pero, ¡mira! ¡En esta película esta hablando en Español! ¿Es loco, no?

Review: Fast Girls

It's no Cool Runnings, but this is proper feel-good summer cinema.

Ill Manors review

[WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE PERSON ATTEMPTING TO RAP.]


Director: Ben Drew
Cast: Riz Ahmed, Ed Skrein, Natalie Press, Anouska Mond
Certificate: 15
Trailer

Kidulthood: The Musical or miserable stuff that screws with all the things we love about films and cinema today? Critics who can't stand the word blud will say to stay away - but ill Manors isn't bad just a little flawed in execution; much like this review, which shows I need to learn some elocution.


Ben Drew's debut is full of loud music and unlikeable people (the opposite of this year's overlooked Wild Bill) but despite the sloppy script, iLL Manors isn't crap. So rather than write an essay, I reviewed it in a rap:




Note: Eran Creevy's excellent Shifty was made in 2008 - not sure why I kept saying 2004...
