Review of Hop (2011)

By Andrew Simpson (34) for Fan The Fire (489) on 15 Aug 2011

Hop is populated with humour that is slow, dated and mindless, an ADD confection of half-baked slapstick and notions of the healing power of…

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 Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 23 Jul 2011

Sadly, rather than hyping up The Avengers, it left me ruing the fact that we won't see more period Captain America films…

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 Super (2010)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 24 Jun 2011

Decent performances are jaded by a hit-and-miss script and are stretched too thin over a high-concept film that doesn't quite manage to find its feet…

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)

Super 8 is a complex movie about family issues, young love and friendship, that just happens to have a strange monster running around in the…

Review of The Beaver (2011)

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

From the pen newcomer Kyle Killen, creator of the brilliant, but instantaneously cancelled, Lone Star, it reeks of promise but vast inexperience,…

Review of Stake Land (2010)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 14 Jun 2011

Despite its issues Stake Land is a more-than-competent and often very entertaining vampire thriller…

Review of X-Men: First Class (2011)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 30 May 2011

The film in general handles its narratives well, but it does feel like the screenplay wants very much to get everything in place for a sequel…

Review of Life in a Day (2011)

By Nick Deigman (49) for Fan The Fire (489) on 19 May 2011

A life shouldn't need to be heroic, controversial, or glamorous for the wider world to take notice of it, wonderful little things happen every…

Review of Win Win (2011)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 19 May 2011

It won't blow you away, but it remains a well-played and solidly entertaining family film…

Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 15 May 2011

I was going to make some lame joke about Pirates swashbuckling under the pressure but, in reality, it hasn't; it's played it safe, it's stuck…

Review of Hanna (2011)

By Nick Deigman (49) for Fan The Fire (489) on 30 Apr 2011

This film channels the haunting fantasy of the Brothers Grimm, with the hazy, colourful power of Lolita, and the thumping action of a Bourne film…

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…
