Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-Man (3D)
After the old Spider-Man series feeling over-used by the time Spider-Man3 came out, it was refreshing to see Marvel taking the helms over their own franchise and giving it the Marvelesque feel of their other recent films. The Amazing Spider-Man hits all the right notes and felt like it blended […]
Movie Review: The Five Year Engagement
We went into this film with some reassurance from the lady in the foyer: “It’s alright lads, there’s good stuff for men in it too.” And how right she was, it’s great to see the traditional RomCom or Chick Flick evolving into a position where there is stuff for even […]

Movie Review: Prometheus (3D)
To see I was extremely looking forward to seeing Prometheus would be an understatement – this is a film that I have anticipated since first seeing Alien and Aliens (slightly Alien3 and lets not talk about Resurrection!). Ridley Scott has taken the step to re-enter the universe he created in Alien with […]

In this season of franchise restarts and nostalgia churning there has been a lot of buzz put on Men in Black 3 – many people questioned whether the light-hearted sci-fi/comedy blend would still work after a decades hiatus. I have to start this review by saying that Josh Brolins portrayal of the […]
Movie Review: Dark Shadows
I will admit that I entered the cinema with slight hesitation after reading the Dorchester Plaza’s own review of Dark Shadows – we were tied between seeing a new film or going to see Avengers for the second time! As many people know and would expect from Tim Burton, this […]
