Darkness

What lurks in the shadows may well be evil, but it’s nowhere near as bad as the acting, dialogue and direction in this banal horror-plop.

De-lovely

It’s de-rubbish.

Paparazzi

Call it ‘Pap’ for short – you won’t find a more appropriate nickname OR description.

The Exorcist

Combining in-your-face religious commentary with good ol’ fashioned horror, ‘The Exorcist’ is – and always will be – one of the most effective knee-tremblers around.

Top Gun

All the fantastically-shot stunt-flying in the world can’t make up for that fact that this is one of the daftest movies ever to make it big at the box office.

Alone in the Dark

In this Atari-slanted horror ride, only one thing can save you from out-right misery – and that’s laughing out loud at the jaw-dropping ineptitude of the entire project.

Robots

A nice and shiny slice of cartoon wizardry, this robostory does exactly what it says on the tin.

Johnson Family Vacation

This is one overly-long Johnson you’ll want to have cut off at the root.

Never Die Alone

Never Die Alone… and never watch this movie, if you don’t want to spend the rest of your days wishing you could have your 90 minutes back.

Hitch

The Fresh Prince meets the King of Queens in this predictable-but-amusing rom-com. If you’re after a chuckle at the moment, you could do much worse than to get yourself Hitched.
