NCIS

I initially thought that NCIS was just another CSI clone but after watching a few episodes I became a believer - I never expected to enjoy this show as much as I have. The episodes move at a quick pace and the cases are interesting enoug... More

NCIS
Reviewed by SlackerChick
NCIS is currently one of my favourite scripted shows on tv. It's definitely not your everyday crime show. This show's just as much about the characters as it is about the crime of the week, if not more so. That's one of my favourite things ... More

The Orphanage

Brick

Take a classic 1940s film noir murder mystery and throw it into modern times, make it revolve around drugs and high school kids, add some awesome handheld camera cinematography, and you have 'Brick'. I thought the acting was completely ste... More

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War
Reviewed by Heracles
After seeing this in Asda for less than £10 I was instantly drawn to it due to my unassailable desire to watch every single war film ever made and my love of a cheap DVD. This bargain stuck out like a Commie in a Nazi rally. After a fe... More

I honestly don't see what all the fuss was about with this movie. Yes Will Smith was pretty good acting wise but the way he talked annoyed me (I'm well aware he was playing the part of the real Ali as close as possible who, if he did origin... More

Spun

A meth-fueled rollercoaster ride in the lives of a bunch of tweakers, which essentially goes nowhere. But then that's the point of the movie. It's spread over the course of three sleepless days, so the viewer as well as the characters lose ... More

Mr. Brooks

Normally, I never would have bothered with a Costner flick for the rest of my life, but he shocked me. I'm glad I caved in and saw this film, despite Costner's lead role. Probably his best performance ever, going thru so many emotions. ... More
