Review of Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 21 Dec 2015

Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 21 Dec 2015

This follow-up to the 2009 original is even more terminally dumb and dopey, with co-writer, co-producer and star Kevin James hamming it up horribly…

Review of Get Hard (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 21 Dec 2015

Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

By Walter Marsh (1) for Rip It Up (249) on 17 Dec 2015

Review of White Reindeer (2013)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 16 Dec 2015

A star of the low/no-budget scene, Hollyman delivers a subtle, sometimes funny and often uncomfortably melancholy performance…

Review of Self/less (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 14 Dec 2015

Lacking the lame humour of Mirror Mirror and the ultra-violence of Immortals, this opts instead for glossy, pretentious dullness, with a shameless…

Review of San Andreas (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 14 Dec 2015

You could certainly do worse and should be entertained enough, despite its many faults…

Review of Magic Mike XXL (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 14 Dec 2015

If ever there was a 'shut up and dance movie', this is it, as Mike and his awful friends simply don't get their gear off and hoof enough…

Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 09 Dec 2015

The film's unconvincing cinematography and special effects happily condemn this one to the depths of Davy Jones' Locker…

Review of The Program (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 09 Dec 2015

Tougher than Frears' recent credits, The Program shows off some excellent work from its international cast…

Review of Creed (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 09 Dec 2015

Irksomely epic in its dreariness and cheesiness, this is nevertheless a film that will appeal to the converted…

Review of The Night Before (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 03 Dec 2015

The least interesting offering from co-writer/director Jonathan Levine, this is sheer nonsense but, well, it is just a Christmas movie, and…

Review of By the Sea (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 01 Dec 2015

Angelina's biggest fans will surely enjoy it anyway, especially as she's very strong at times and, it must be said, several key dramatic highlights…

Review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 25 Nov 2015

N American remake was inevitable, and writer/director Billy Ray's shot is watchable and well-played but lacks the power -- and the sting --…

Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 25 Nov 2015

This is marginally better than the first Mockingjay installment simply as there isn't all the endless stage-setting and self-important yakking…

Review of The Lobster (2015)

By James Mccann (1) for Rip It Up (249) on 18 Nov 2015

When it chooses to be -- which, thankfully, is often -- the film is so funny as to induce tears. Then, on a dime, it's appallingly sad again…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 18 Nov 2015

While there are seriously blockbuster-friendly action setpieces aplenty here and a cast that can actually act, there's just not the personal…

Review of Freeheld (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 12 Nov 2015

Review of Man Up (2015)

By David 'Mad Dog' Bradley (480) for Rip It Up (249) on 06 Nov 2015

Yes, it's all seriously goofy and improbable, but there's still enough audience-pleasing 'Date Movie' cuteness here anyway…
