Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Bad, stupid, lame, embarrassing, and seemingly interminable, full of main characters delivering long-winded speeches explaining their histories…

Review of Inglourious Basterds (2009)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Bridesmaids (2011)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

It's a movie about women going berserk over a wedding. Easy non-feminist laughs are built right in there, and milked for all they're worth…

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

We're all for this kind of brave risk-taking, in theory. If only the results turned out to be, uh, what's the word...better…

Review of Taken (2004)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Prometheus is one of those big ruined films that are worth talking about in terms of how it got ruined, and how it might've been saved…

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

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Now we get the doddering version. Pirates of the Caribbean for Dummies. Everything explained…

Review of A Serious Man (2009)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

The last shot alone is so moving, so incredible and complex in its impact, it sears itself into your brain like the twin ghost girls in The…

Review of The Warrior's Way (2010)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Stylized multi-genre films look easy when they work, when the Coens or Stephen Chow or Quentin Tarantino's in the house, but we mustn't kid…

Review of The Dark Knight (2008)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

The movie's a real neo-noir all right, wallowing in darkness, thrilled with how bad we are, and getting such a kick out of our impending doom…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Burke and Hare is timid and dithering and blandly bad, and the new Ealing Studios seems unworthy of its inheritance, and it's all just a damn shame…
