By Robbie Jones This April, everyone’s favourite high tech hero returns to the big screen with a new director, new villains and a darker plot in Iron Man 3! Robert Downey Jr first stepped into the role of Tony Stark in 2008 in the first film of the series. Since then, he’s fought Iron Monger, taken down Whiplash and Justin Hammer, nearly died from the one thing keeping him alive, and saved New York with the help of Captain America, Thor and the Hulk. Now, as we start Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what does Iron Man 3 hold in store for us? By Cookie 'N' Screen
If I turned around to you know with news of a new Twilight Sequel/Prequel movie, I think a small minority of you would squeal out of glee. The rest of you, I would imagine, would respond like this; By Kim J Osborne As a girl, if there was a film that I had to recommend for a quiet night in with that significant other or to have the girls round to watch; making popcorn, passing the champagne bottle around etc etc, it would definitely and undeniably have to be ‘Moulin Rouge!’ ‘Moulin Rouge!’ (2001) is a wild and zany musical set in Paris during the time of the French revolution and I must say, it has to be one of my all-time favourite films. By William John So I'm going to talk about the often overlooked, but beautifully made film about growing up too quickly. Juno is about an unusual teenage girl, Juno (Ellen Page) who finds herself pregnant by her best friend (Michael Cera) after their first and only time. Unlike most in her position, Juno makes the brave decision to have the child and give it up for adoption, after finding a seemingly perfect couple as the baby's new parents. By Matthew Battles While there are some truly God-awful films out there, I think I'm safe to say that this film takes the top prize in my book as a film worthy to forget. The feature length film (barely making it that far as it just barely crosses the 90 minute line) 'stars' Dieter Laser - as the demented Dr. Hieter (I'll talk about him a little later), Ashley C. Williams and Ashlynn Yennie as *Insert horror movie cliché alert here* two hopelessly shallow, lost, blonde American tourists travelling through the German Backwoods *sigh*, and Akhihiro Kitamura another tourist but from Japan who doesn't speak a word of English and guess where the good Doctor decides to place him in his horrible scheme?

Back to the Future is, lets face it, one of the best films ever made. It has suspense, intrigue, romance, and a bloody great story. So a few years ago when I found out that one of my house mates hadn't seen it, I was more than a little shocked. After the flood of exasperated noises, I finally managed to give him a slap and tell him that we're watching the DVD! I got to thinking what that'd be like to see it for the first time again, how it would've been in a cinema in 1985. I logged on to my computer and received an e-mail. 25th Anniversary re-release of Back to the Future...at the Cinema!!! Thank you Odeon. |
