Review of Fort Tilden (2014)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

There are some similarities to the perpetual failings of the characters in Frances Ha, and this movie equally fails to charm…

Review of That Awkward Moment (2014)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

From the outside That Awkward Moment looks like a typical, throwaway comedy but it has heart and an indie spirit that turn it into something…

Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

It has hints of heart, and one or two good sequences, but a rent-a-baddie villainy, a poor storyline and paper thin characters leave it floundering…

Review of This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

There are moments when it's far too sugary for its own good, and the script can't quite find the right amount of laughs or tears, but for all…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

It would be a stretch to call it smart, but 'Lucy' isn't stupid either, and Besson is sensible enough to allow the film to sprint with its…

Review of Lone Survivor (2013)

By Liam Nicholls (5) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

Whatever the political undercurrent at work, every so often you have to remind yourself that this happened to four young men, no doubt the…

Review of In Order of Disappearance (2014)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

It's lazy to call parts of the script 'Tarantino-esque' but I'm doing it anyway, and I mean that in a positive sense…

Review of Obvious Child (2009)

By Nick Deigman (49) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

Beneath the clinical, sarcastic wit, there is a depth to her treatment of the story that builds gradually into a poignant, mature understanding…

Review of Boyhood (2014)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

Review of Chef (2014)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

Chef is a funny and exciting road trip movie and, while not downgrading the success he's had with his two Iron Man films, is Favreau's best…

Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

A terrific watch, and bound to be one of the funniest films of the year, but perhaps a tad indulgent and lacking the emotional resonance that…

Review of The Machine (2013)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

The film is ambitious visually, in spite of its small budget, and while not all of the effects come off, it's hard to hold that against an…

Review of Godzilla (2014)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

It might just drop your jaw once or twice, but to really establish the giant lizard as the star of a new franchise, this needed to be a more…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 07 Nov 2014

Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
