Reviewed by Chris McEneany, 11th August 2009 One of my all-time favourite scores, folks, arrives at Warp Speed from literally out of the blue and zooms, straight away, to the pole position of this year’s already considerable releases. FSM Retrograde do it proud, as well, really cleaning up the once-archaic sound of the previous incarnations. [...]

Reviewed by Chris McEneany, 2nd August 2009 It may be enjoyable, and it is certainly colourful and action-packed, but Alan Burnett’s take on Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern: First Flight is still a backward step for DC’s Animated stable. Even for a comic-book narrative, this is juvenile stuff, despite the inclusion of the odd swear word. [...]

Reviewed by Chris McEneany, 31st July 2009 This is lean, mean but classic Goldsmith. The style, the excitement and the sense of time, place and character are fully in place and no fan of the movies’ most prolific, dedicated and accomplished composer can afford to let this one slip by. Historically important and damn fine [...]

Reviewed by Chris McEneany, 31st July 2009 A passable horror – nothing more, nothing less. The story isn’t particularly good and the tone, as dark as it likes to get, is rarely disturbing. Whilst the house is large, ominous and labyrinthine, its residents are mostly shallow and un-engaging and the set-pieces, therein, lacklustre and reliant [...]

Reviewed by Keith Hurst, 30th July 2009Spinal Tap has been a hoot from the start and to keep this one joke going through of 25 years is dedication above and beyond the pale. Live Earth, their ongoing world tours with them all in character and never once dropping their guard. Matured from a fledgling sketch [...]

Reviewed by Cas Harlow, 27th July 2009300 is a classic tale of bravery and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming adversity, a momentous landmark in the Greco-Persian war, whose outcome has had repercussion across the Centuries. Here it gets the glossy, studio photo-shop makeover with Zack Snyder’s faithful, CG-based adaptation of Frank Miller’s already abbreviated [...]

Reviewed by Chris McEneany, 26th July 2009 Well, as I said earlier, I found Coraline pretty tough going at first, but once things turned nasty I simply fell in love with it. Having seen the film a few times now, I can safely testify that I have gotten over my coldness towards it and would [...]

Reviewed by Mark Botwright, 23rd July 2009Origin: Spirits of the Past’s foray onto the Blu-ray format is a fairly resounding success. The film itself is uneven and will split many an opinion over its first and second half transition. Unless we ever get to see some kind of extra footage, then the film will only [...]

Reviewed by Imran Butt, 15th July 2009 “He’s just not that into you” is a well meaning rom-com but the concept and delivery is flawed. It’s been directed thoughtfully enough but it’s not quite worked as intended and surprisingly the end result misses the mark by some fair margin. The blu-ray disc on the other [...]

Reviewed by Mark Botwright, 15th July 2009Death Trance is a film that needs to be prepared for in order for viewers to get the most from the experience – and it certainly is an experience! Yuji Shimomura has crafted what seems to be a live action manga that contains all the oddball characters, mystical prophecy [...]
