The Incredible Hulk (2008)
With the somber, tank punting, desert bright, head shrinking of Ang Lee’s first film still ringing dully in our ears you’d be forgiven for questioning Marvel’s decision to reboot the emerald roid rager and release ‘The Incredible Hulk‘. After Favreau and Downey fired ‘Iron Man‘ into the stratosphere, director Louis Leterrier and star Edward Norton have a lot to prove. You’ll be pleased to hear that you can finally wipe the po-faced preachiness of the 2003 original from your memory. Not only... Read Full Story
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Almost 20 years in the making and the internet reverberated with calls of, ‘the moment’s passed’, followed by punning titles like, ‘Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Colostomy’ or ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Erectile Dysfunction’. Time has not been kind to our loveable archaeologist, and now that Lucas and Spielberg have come to an agreement, the film is in the can and finally in cinemas across the country, were they right to be cynical? The results are frustratingly mixed... Read Full Story
Past, Present and Future : Jay Cunning
Jay Cunning’s been in the mix since day one with various styles of Old Skool, House, DnB and dare we say it; Garage.

Wanted (2008)
Swap a Chalk of Destiny for a Loom of Fate and what do you get? According to Timur Bekmambetov, soon to be cult director of recent Russian fantasy flicks ‘Nightwatch’ and ‘Daywatch‘, it’s a metaphysically muddled, sluggishly structured, yet insanely inventive action flick, ‘Wanted‘. For a moment you think this film could be really something; the rather pedestrian opening of ‘Office Space‘ tedium and ‘Fight Club‘ emasculation is soon pumped up by a fantastic action sequence involving an...
