Nothing but the Truth
16 May 2013
Serviceable political thriller starring Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, David Schwimmer and Alan Alda
It’s amazing how many films with big name casts slink out direct to DVD. Take Nothing But the Truth, featuring Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, Angela Bassett, David Schwimmer and Alan Alda. To be fair, NBT was a victim of circumstance rather than some…

15 May 2013
Henry Northmore talks to The Vaccines as they lead the charge of the indie brigade at this year’s Ro

Scary Movie 5
18 Apr 2013
Lazy, limp and humourless addition to the series
Blame Airplane! It was a fast, funny and inventive piss take of disaster movies. Unfortunately everyone who has tried to rip off the formula in the modern era shoots so low. Admittedly the first Scary Movie (2000) had a few ‘I can’t believe they did…
Spartacus: War of the Damned
18 Apr 2013
The third series of the bloody drama has questionable accuracy but a solid storyline
The goriest, nudiest show on television, Spartacus is set in the world of Roman gladiatorial combat. Packed to the gunnels with blood, guts and sex, it would be easy to dismiss this show as crass and relentlessly macho. But the blood and boobs are so…

Mission to Lars

Documentary about a Fragile X Syndrome sufferer's obsession with Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich
This isn’t really a film about Metallica. Even though the metal behemoth’s shadow looms large over the entire documentary, don’t expect the warts and all melodrama of Some Kind of Monster. However if you do love the mighty ‘tallica you might find even…
