The X-Files I want to believe

The motion picture version of the popular sci-fi series the X-files is brought to you by the same artistic creators, including director and writer Chris Carter. Extreme hype and expectation has surrounded the film since being announced in production as long ago as November 2001. With the long wait and the excellent writing team behind the scenes one would expect the film to live up to the excitement, sadly I feel it misses the mark.

Man On Wire

An almost invisible cable cuts the air in half, as a man balances gracefully, sitting, walking across it with style and ease. 'Man on Wire' is a new documentary directed by James Marsh which examines the remarkable life of the wire walker Philippe Petit, whose most daring walk was done in the 70's across the 138 foot gap between the World Trade Centre buildings.

Batman: The Dark Night Review

The Hulk

If you're looking for a cerebral and philosophical meditation, don't go see this. I'm sorry, it's not an epic journey of emotion and intelligent writing. However, it is an action packed adventure, and if you don't take it too seriously, it can be an engaging and entertaining watch.

Adulthood

You do not have to see Kidulthood to understand the plot of Adulthood, it is simple, yet gripping, and is a testament to the directory of Noel Clarke.
