Review of The Debt (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 04 Oct 2011

The plot could have great weight but it never makes use of it, while the revelations explored in the past, aren't followed through in the present…

Review of Friends (With Benefits) (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 01 Sep 2011

In acts two and three it becomes more predictable in each of the ideals it berates in act one, and not in a clever or ironic way; Katherine…

Review of 30 Minutes or Less (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 01 Sep 2011

Always unlikely to repeat the breakout success of Zombieland, 30 Minutes Or Less attempts but lacks the wit and surprise of the director's last film…

Review of Kill List (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 01 Sep 2011

A hitman film with no energy, no pace, and so without a compelling narrative it relies on gore-hungry murders to keep your eyes on the screen…

Review of Final Destination 5 (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 01 Sep 2011

A link into the earlier films at the close of 5 is nice, but adds little overall, and though it might be fun with a bunch of friends on a Friday…

Review of The Art of Getting By (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 01 Sep 2011

The Art Of Getting By is not the horror show some US critics might have you believe; there are a lot of problems, but it's more than possible…

Review of The Skin I Live In (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 01 Sep 2011

Review of Fright Night (2011)

Review of Horrible Bosses (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 23 Jul 2011

Review of Sarah's Key (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 23 Jul 2011

What it could have been is there for all to see, but Sarah's Key doesn't come close to being compelling enough, as it's only real positive…

Review of Zookeeper (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 23 Jul 2011

I couldn't help but wonder who this weird romantic/animal comedy was aimed at when the film gets suffocated by a tedious love chasing travesty…

Review of Cars 2 (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 10 Jul 2011

It's hugely sad that the Emeryville studio have turned in their first dud but the stark reality is that Cars 2 really offers very little for…

Review of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 27 Jun 2011

If Transformers 3 was produced purely to be an expose of what you can do with CGI in the modern era, it'd get full marks…

Review of Green Lantern (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 15 Jun 2011

A fun movie that you can lose yourself in for a little over 100 minutes and get a thrill and laugh or two along the way…

Review of The Hangover Part II (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 14 Jun 2011

It happened again. That's the opening gambit of The Hangover: Part II, but sadly the same can be said of the franchise…

Review of Super 8 (1988)

Review of The Beaver (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 14 Jun 2011

Review of Cedar Rapids (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 24 Apr 2011

Cedar Rapids can't decide if it wants to be an R-rated romp or much sweeter comedy-drama, and in the end, falls inadequately between the two…
