Review of Extinction (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 25 Dec 2015

Review of Get Hard (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 25 Dec 2015

Review of The Water Diviner (2014)

By Wjs (117) on 18 Dec 2015

This film is beautiful shot and very well acted, but unfortunately it's not very well directed and the script wears its heart on its sleeve…

Review of Run All Night (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 14 Dec 2015

Although well acted with some interesting camera work, ultimately it proves to be a tired retread of recycled characters and performances…

Review of The DUFF (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 12 Dec 2015

Review of Seventh Son (2014)

By Wjs (117) on 05 Dec 2015

There should be an award ceremony revoking Oscars, because some of the stars of this should be required to return theirs…

Review of Blackhat (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 04 Dec 2015

Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)

By Wjs (117) on 28 Nov 2015

Kevin James is a likeable comedic personality that's perfect for a 30 minute TV sitcom or as a supporting player in an ensemble comedy, but…

Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 28 Nov 2015

Review of Bee Movie (2007)

By Wjs (117) on 27 Nov 2015

The first portion of this movie is fairly funny but it drags on and really doesn't amount to much…

Review of Epic (2013)

By Wjs (117) on 20 Nov 2015

Beautifully rendered and well voiced, Epic unfortunately labours under a somewhat distracted narrative that really proves to be not much more…

Review of Mortdecai (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 14 Nov 2015

Without a doubt, one of the worst Johnny Depp films I've ever seen. Makes Dark Shadows look like a masterpiece…

Review of Focus (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 07 Nov 2015

So, you take an actor who was once one of the biggest stars in the world, wrap him up with a beautiful blond actress and put them into some…

Review of San Andreas (2015)

By Wjs (117) on 31 Oct 2015

Spectacular, eye-popping visual effect and some well directed action set pieces highlight this at times overwrought, melodramatic and over…

Review of The Cobbler (2014)

By Wjs (117) on 31 Oct 2015

Trying to write a review for an Adam Sandler movie is like trying to write an epitaph for a person you really don't like very much…

Review of What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

By Wjs (117) on 30 Oct 2015

At times very clever and at times outrageously stupid, this film is well acted and has some pretty good visual and make-up effects but, unfortunately…
