Review of Fast Five (2011)

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

Fast And Furious 5 is far, far from a classic, it's not even the best in the series, but it'll spin two hours by with ease and some excitement…

Review of The Silent House (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 11 Apr 2011

The image of its heroine standing in silhouette in a doorway, unsure of whether to cross over, is quite simply the most iconic horror image…

Review of Winnie the Pooh (2011)

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

Nothing in this film really stands out, it's one big non-event, but that means at least it won't ruin the memory of Pooh for older eyes, it's…

Review of Hall Pass (2011)

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

Review of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010)

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

Review of The Rite (1969)

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

Could have been put together in a much snappier way, with a hugely convoluted opening certainly not helping The Rite's uneven pace…

Review of Submarine (2011)

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

Review of No Strings Attached (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 18 Feb 2011

No String Attached is a dismal start for 2011's casual sex comedies…

Review of A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 18 Feb 2011

The story doesn't do anything near enough to keep you involved for the 88-minute runtime, aimlessly meandering forward without even a whiff…

Review of Happythankyoumoreplease (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 18 Feb 2011

Radnor should be more than pleased with his film debut, and this is how rom-coms should be made, not like the hapless Hollywood offerings…

Review of The Dilemma (1919)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 31 Jan 2011

Hollywood gloss will paper over a few of The Dilemma's problems but you'll leave the cinema more feeling indifferent than anything else…

Review of The Mechanic (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 31 Jan 2011

Review of Get Low (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 31 Jan 2011

Review of Love & Other Drugs (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 11 Jan 2011

For it's hard work, sadly the film's two heartfelt, emotional scenes are wholly undermined by some awful soundtracking…

Review of Chatroom (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Dec 2010

Based on a play, and adapted by the original playwright, sadly the narrative hasn't translated at all well and the structure feels out of place…

Review of Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Dec 2010

It's watchable, certainly, but it lacks anything to really draw you in and certainly won't blow you away like some of Chen Zhen's previous…

Review of Unstoppable (2010)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 24 Nov 2010

Unstoppable isn't a bad film per-se, but it's a by the numbers thriller that isn't remotely thrilling, and will do very well indeed to make…
