Underworld – Rise of the Lycans – A Review of the Latest Suck Fest
The third installment in the Underworld franchise winds clocks back to the dark ages to trace the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. Here we see the origins of Lucien (Michael Sheen) the first lycanthorpe who has the ability to change into his werewolf form at will, his forbidden love with vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra) and his fight for freedom against his vampire rulers led by Victor (Bill Nighy).

Spider-Man Movie Review
Sam Raimi’s first entry in the highly successful Spiderman franchise is a mixed blessing at best.

Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith Film Review
“Revenge of the Sith” marks the first time since the original trilogy that we have a satisfying entry in the Star Wars saga. “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones” both suffer from some creative missteps made by series creator George Lucas, resulting in widespread disappointment amongst fans and the general public alike.

Film Review – Balls of Fury
Balls OF Fury (2007) Dir: Robert Ben Garant Let me begin by saying that I have a very uncanny and unconventional sense of humour – even the smallest joke will have me in stitches. So when I saw the trailer for Balls of Fury whilst enjoying another daily trip to the cinema I thought this was going to be another Dodgeball-esque spoof, which would have me laughing myself into an early grave. Instead this film failed to excite the small child within. Continue reading
