Movie DVD Reviews

  • Leolo

    Multiple award winning 1992 comedy drama Leolo finally gets a UK DVD release. With the emphasis on the 'drama', the French Canadian Leolo is the bleak, squalid story of Leo Lauzon, a young boy struggling to cope with his extremely dysfunctional (or downright insane) extended family.

     
  • Postal

    When we will learn, when will Uwe Boll learn, and when will the actors that sign up to work in Boll’s films learn? Yet again, a film that no-one wants, directed by a misguided megalomaniac that manages to insult and inflame in exactly the way that its creator did not intend in any way, shape or form.

     
  • Superhero Movie

    Superhero Movie is another nail in the coffin of the reputation of the Zuckers and their spoof machine that started so promisingly with Police Squad, Airplane and the Naked Gun movies before the rot-setting Scary Movie series which degenerated with every pre-Saw Halloween release.

     
  • Solstice

    When you think of the best horror movies of the past decade, you can't help but recall the one-hit-wonder that was The Blair Witch Project. The director of that hit movie, Daniel Myrick, is back in his comfort zone with Solstice, a horror story that ticks all the boxes when it comes to the genre.

     
  • Flight Of The Red Balloon / The Red Balloon / White Mane

    French children's classic shorts The Red Balloon and White Mane are here re-released alongside arthouse legend Hou Hsiao Hsien's first film made outside of Asia, Flight Of The Red Balloon.

     
  • News Movie (The Onion Movie)

    News Movie finally limps into your home after a troubled production history, and boy does it show. Based on 'The Onion', the popular satirical and absurd American newspaper spoof turned website, the film shows none of the dry wit and precision targeting of its online version.

     
  • Iron Man

    It's been a long time coming, but director Jon Favreau's labour of love is a worthy addition to the comic book movie canon and a refreshing, fun counterpoint to the gloomier comic fare of late.

     
  • Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

    You don't think you asked for it, but you got it anyway - it's a third Starship Troopers movie! But the draw this time is the return of Casper Van Dien, Johnny Rico from the first movie, drafted back into action to fight those pesky bugs.

     
  • Teeth

    The subject of puberty is one richly tapped into by the horror genre. From Carrie’s first period as telekinetic massacre through to Ginger Snaps’ lupine teens getting carried away with their love bites, young girls on the way to womanhood seemingly endlessly pop up as tetchy anti-heroines.

     
  • Gettin’ It

    Thought they’d stopped churning out the American Pie cash-ins a few years ago? Well, apparently not, so here we have the latest teenage sex ‘comedy’: Gettin’ It.
