Review: Lucy (2014)

Review: Lucy (2014)

[pullquote cite="" type="left, right"][amazon text=Amazon&template=carousel&chan=that film guy&asin=B00LDYOXHS][/pullquote] Luc Besson has had a difficult few years.

Review: Hercules (2014)

Review: Hercules (2014)

First things first: The Rock IS Hercules. He's long been a great action lead in search of a role worthy of him, and here, he's found it. Hercules is no classic, but it's never boring, and when Johnson bellows "I AM HERCULES!" towards the end, it's very hard not to nod and agree. … [Read more...]

Review: Dragonphoenix Chronicles: Indomitable (2013, Greek)

April 28, 2014 by Emlyn Roberts-Harry Leave a Comment

Review: Dragonphoenix Chronicles: Indomitable (2013, Greek)

An crowd-funded independent Greek film, made in the fallout of the country's economic collapse, is an intriguing prospect. When you factor in that it's an epic fantasy made for a budget of €10,000, or "the cost of a day's catering on Game of Thrones", it becomes downright worrying - plenty of fantasy films have failed miserably with million-dollar budgets. Which makes it all … [Read more...]

[pullquote cite="" type="left, right"][amazon text=Amazon&template=carousel&chan=that film guy&asin=B00IE5B7S2][/pullquote] Based on a drunken email that Nick Frost sent to his producer, Cuban Fury marks the first time he's been on screen in the sole lead role and gives him the opportunity to have a go at something other than playing the supporting role to Simon … [Read more...]

Review: Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013, French)

Based on Julie Maroh's graphic novel, Abdellatif Kechiche's Blue is the Warmest Colour was this year's winner of the Palm d'Or at Cannes - arguably the film industry's most prestigious award - and became the first film where the prize was awarded to both the director and the lead actresses.

Review: Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness (2012)

November 14, 2013 by Emlyn Roberts-Harry Leave a Comment

Review: Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness (2012)

My thought process when I saw this movie in the TV guide went something like this. Oh no. They made another D&D movie? OH CHRIST. It's a Syfy Channel original?! Oh wait. It's actually named after an artefact from the game. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. … [Read more...]
