Film review | Haywire – Gina Carano punches above her weight in Soderbergh’s cracking thriller
Betrayed by her bosses, a freelance black-ops agent goes on the run in Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, a taut action thriller that is as briskly efficient and muscular as its heroine. Played by mixed martial artist Gina Carano, lean, mean ex-Marine … Continue reading
Film review | Shame – Michael Fassbender bares all in McQueen’s searing tale of sex, lies and emotional pain
Following their critically acclaimed 2008 film Hunger about IRA prisoner Bobby Sands, actor Michael Fassbender and director Steve McQueen (no relation) reunite for a project that is almost as controversial – a fearless, unblinking, full-frontal portrait of a sex addict. … Continue reading

Film review | X-Men: First Class – Matthew Vaughn gets the Marvel Comics mutants back on track
The sci-fi action series featuring the Marvel Comics mutants took a dip with its last two outings, 2006’s sprawling X-Men: Last Stand and 2009’s scrappy Wolverine spin-off, but X-Men: First Class lives up to its title. Smart and spectacular, it’s … Continue reading

Out on DVD | Inglourious Basterds

The Best view | Inglourious Basterds – Quentin Tarantino’s WW2 revenge fantasy: it’s not only the spelling that’s juvenile
“Once upon a time in Nazi-occupied France…” So begins Quentin Tarantino’s much-hyped World War Two action movie, an ultra-violent fairy tale in which a band of scalp-hunting Jewish-American soldiers go on the rampage behind enemy lines… and, in an … Continue reading
