FINAL DESTINATION 2

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

>
It’s one year since Alix Browning, Clear Rivers and some of their assorted school chums escaped a fiery death when their plane, destined for Paris, blew up in mid-air, killing everyone on board. Fortunately Alix foresaw the disaster in a premonition ?but Death was a bit peeved because his [...]

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

Prepare to breathe a sigh of relief, JK Rowling fans. Chris Columbus, who so nearly fumbled the ball last year with the somewhat-flat PHILOSOPHER? STONE has, just twelve months later, done a very special magic trick of his own, pulling the proverbial rabbit out of his directorial magician? hat. I wandered into the cinema [...]

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

And so the madness of king Harry rolls into town again. I must admit I didn’t go and see CHAMBER OF SECRETS at the cinema, after I fell out of love with the idea of the boy wizard in a movie following [...]

THE HULK

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

“You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”
I have a general rule when it comes to films. They’re either good or they’re bad. It’s not rocket science but it’s a principle that’s stood me in good stead over the years. I either enjoy a movie or I don’t. There’s no halfway house. But then there’s [...]

JEEPERS CREEPERS 2

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

Two years ago Victor Salva gave the idling horror genre a kick up the cadaver with the original JEEPERS CREEPERS, a terror flick of two halves which managed to be genuinely creepy and itchy for the first reel and then a crushing disappointment later on when the Big Bad turned out to be a rather [...]

THE LORD OF THE RINGS:THE RETURN OF THE KING

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

Wow.
I could probably leave it there really. You?e going to see THE RETURN OF THE KING whatever the reviews say – and they?e all been quite positive on the whole (this is irony, by the way) – [...]

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

Some ideas look good on paper. Some go on to look good on film too. THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN may have been a wonderfully-inventive comic book series (I wouldn’t know) but I still think it’s a damned stupid idea. Sadly it’s also translated into a damned stupid film, a real road accident of a [...]

THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

“Everything that has a beginning has an end. . .”
Six months on from RELOADED and the world has changed. In half a year, things on the Matrix front have gone quiet- no more huge articles in film magazines. Barely any tie ins, as opposed to part 2′s mobiles, shavers, televisions- etc. Hell, the last one [...]

THE MATRIX RELOADED

Tuesday, November 30th, 1999

“Mr Anderson!”
Ding ding, round one. Well here it is folks, the film most of us have been waiting over four years for, (with the exception of Star Wars et al) the movie that starts of the ‘year of the Matrix’ proper. First the excellent game led us into the new movie, then the brilliant looking [...]
