Last Year In Film: Disaster Movie

Oh fucking Jesus fucking Christ. What the fuck is wrong with the world? Why are things like this allowed to exist? Yes, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer unleashed two pieces of cinematic garbage upon the world in 2008 and whilst Meet The Spartans was a bad film it’s actually kinda watchable when compared with this entry in the _____ Movie franchise, Disaster Movie. This film has absolutely no redeeming qualities. The jokes are shit, the performances laughable (though not in the way intended) a… Continue

Last Year In Film: Meet The Spartans

Remember when parody film was a phrase that didn’t send people with half a brain cell recoiling in horror? A time when films like Airplane!, Spaceballs and Monty Python and the Holy Grail strode the comedy plains and delighted audiences far and wide. Do you know why those films were so awesome? Because the filmmakers had a modicum of respect for their audiences. Yes, the humour was sometimes wacky and out of left field but they didn’t have to take you by the hand and explain the jokes to you. Th… Continue

Fling movie review and trailer

Fling (2008) is also known as Lie to Me abroad and explores the alternative lifestyle of an open relationship. Samantha (Courtney Ford) and Mason (Steve Sandvoss) are both successful in their work and on the outside appear to be in a loving relationship; and they are. They laugh, go out, live together, and have a strong bond unlike many couples. A few of their friends and co-workers know that they have a very open relationship, not only seeing other people for one night or many, but even...… Continue

Last Year In Film: Frost/Nixon

I am an all round geek. A jack of all geek trades and a master of none and one of the facets that makes up that geek whole is political geekery. I first started to become interested in politics around the time that George W. Bush came to power as the president of the United States and so my interest has always been with American politics, which is far, far more interesting than our rather underwhelming British system, and in particular the dark, shadier side of the political scene. It should be… Continue

Last Year In Film: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Today sees the beginning of a new recurring segment on Cinepub, Last Year In Film. The concept is fairly simple, watching and reviewing all the Oscar and Razzie nominated films of 2008. And I do mean all of them. It’s going to be a massive undertaking and I hope that I can manage to pull it off before the end of the year. With that in mind let’s begin with the backwards-aging, Gumpesque saga known as The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate… Continue

Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy - Comics as Fashion and Art? WTF?!

A year ago, before I even found Spill, I found myself in New York City in an artistic pilgrimage to help my artistic endeavors. However, while playing tourist, I found myself at the Met Museum of Art. What drew my attention? A banner advertising an art show about comic book superheroes. Upon paying only $1 for… Continue

Violence For All The Family!

Some Mild Spoilers Ahead Violence in the film industry has always been a tenuous issue for the public. The media has often lain the blame for various violent incidents on film violence. There have been full blown studies criticising the… Continue

A very late 2008 in review

Another year has passed by leaving it its wake countless dreams unfulfilled countless dreams brought into reality, love gained and lost, and countless hours spent on mindless entertainment. Billions of dollars a year are spent on various was to keep society blissfully ignorant and content so they don't see the world for the ephemeral cluster fuck of horrors that it actually is. But most of the entertainment created for the unwashed masses is shittastic at best. So out of this horrid collection… Continue

My Favorite Films of 2008: Part 2

Here is part 2. Again, this is in no particular order. Frost/Nixon

Another great effort by Ron Howard. He's got a really great body of work going right now. The best thing about this film is how they manage to make the showdown between Nixon and Frost more exciting than most action sequences that you see in movies nowadays. I don't think the film is quite as good as everyone says it i… Continue

Rare's Top 10 Movies of 2008

#10 - Cloverfield

One of the most involving (not to mention haunting) films of the year, Cloverfield succeeds in what it sets out to do. At the risk of sounding cliché, the "point-of-view shooting" is used to such great effect, that you really feel like you're in the middle of the action. The film keeps you guessing from start to finish, allowing the audience member to fill in… Continue

ROFL's Top 10 of 2008

So maybe this is a little late, but in my eyes, anything before the day after Oscar night is early enough. Anyway, as the title states, this is my "Top 10 Movies" list of the year 2008. So without further ado, I PRESENT... um... it... 10!

At first, I was completely torn between this and "Role Models." I think "Role Models" made m… Continue

Worst of 2008: The Year of Not That Bad

2008 was probably one of the best years of movies during my lifetime. We witnessed the rise of the superhero, the continuing success of Apatow & the return of such titans as Rourke, Jones and Downey Jr. This lead me to realize that, while making my worst of the year list, that not all of them were that bad to me. Mind you, I haven't seen what I've heard are the shittiest (Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, Mummy 3, 10,000 BC, Love Guru, etc.). Thus, the lower half of the list m… Continue
