March 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Every so often, Charlize Theron wants to kick ass, or that’s how it seems. Whether it’s Aeon Flux, Fury Road or now Atomic Blonde, she is good at taking names and looking badass doing it.

Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

‘A blistering blend of sleek action, gritty sexuality and dazzling style, Atomic Blonde is directed by David Leitch (John Wick, upcoming Deadpool 2). Also starring John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella and Toby Jones, the film is based on the Oni Press graphic novel “The Coldest City,” by Antony Johnston & illustrator Sam Hart.

This Means War (DVD)

July 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Chelsea Handler, Til Schweiger, Tom Hardy
Director: McG
Running Time: 93 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: July 2nd 2012

Note: Some of this review was previously published in connection with the cinema release

I know the exact moment when I gave up on the idea that This Means War was going to be a good movie. Fairly early on Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) is shopping with her friend, Trish (Chelsea Handler), a character who only exists to give Lauren an excuse to say exactly what she’s thinking at any point in time.

However it wasn’t the lazy exposition (something the film loves to engage in) that made me realise that behind the fireworks there wasn’t much going on in This Means War, it was because the scene was set up so that the two women were doing their entire supermarket shop based on what was on the end of the aisles. They picked out detergent, looked at special offers and neither of them seemed to need anything that wasn’t right there in front of them. [Read more…]
