The Colony review
A small-scale science-fiction horror story full of big, troubling ideas about what a new Dark Ages might look like.

The World’s End review: the very bitter (and lager) end
Its humor is a little more uncomfortable than that of the other Cornetto flicks, and it’s more far satirical, in a far more cynical way, than I ever would have anticipated.
Pacific Rim review: the world goes to war
A war movie in the grandest tradition, set in a rich new fictional universe that we’re going to be talking about for a long time.
Best Friends Forever review: the end of the world as women see it
Smartly stylish, refracting familiar fictional events and themes through a little-used cinematic prism: that of women’s perspectives.
World War Z review: mutated Hollywood ebola
Has no guts of any kind: it has absolutely nothing to say, and it takes a long, dull, circuitous route to get to that nothing.
This Is The End review: supergood
I died laughing… and I’ve found a new respect for a Hollywood posse whose work I mostly haven’t enjoyed before.
feel the rush of endorkins (Star Trek Into Darkness review)
A Star Trek for our times. Very much for our times. Which means there’s little hope to be found here…
Oblivion movie review: Jetsons parody or Ikea commercial?
Postcard-pretty, unusual for a science fiction flick, but shockingly derivative.
The Croods (review)
Was this secretly produced by the Institute for Creation Research?
Spiders (review)
What has happened to America’s cheesy film industry? Where is the pride of our grade-Z filmmakers? Does no one care anymore about making decent bad movies?
