The Hangover review – appropriate title as I suddenly feel the need to drink a lot!

Terminator Salvation review – much better than they all say!

Over the past few weeks it has been evident from many reviews that Terminator Salvation really wasn’t like much by the online critics. This seemed a little odd considering the rough footage I watched last …

The Wrestler DVD review – Perhaps Mickey Rourke’s finest hour

After having heard many great things about The Wrestler, I was keen to watch and review it myself. It stars both Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei (both actors that were once considered past their prime).
