Asylum

By Sarah Ford I love her. How else can I justify my actions? I love her and I don’t regret it. But why won’t she love me? It’s the voices. It must be the voices. She knows about the voices! It’s the voices that bought me here. To this place. To this hell. To this [...]

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

I know I am not part of the target demographic 20th Century Fox had in mind when they made this piece of truly awful junk-food cinema.

The role is hardly demanding, requiring the Australian actor [...]

Film Review: Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang

By Barnaby Walter As you can probably tell from my previous post, I don’t like Kick-Ass. I was repulsed by its vicious brutality, its glorification of weaponry and worrying depiction of violence against children.

Film Review: Kick-Ass

Review by Barnaby Walter Since its release, critics left (The Guardian), right (The Times) and centre (Empire) have been praising Kick-Ass as if it’s the most exciting thing since sliced bread. It’s been branded as a “taboo-breaking” comedy, and many of its fans have congratulated it for going where other movies have dared not gone. [...]
