Review: Your Highness



The premise of Your Highness (which is little more than swearing in a medieval English accent) unsurprisingly struggles to hold itself over the duration of an entire film - any fans of Danny McBride are still better off sticking with Eastbound & Down. There's still a few laughs to be found, but thankfully most of them pop up in the red-band trailer above, so you don't have to bother with watching the film itself.

Review: Thor



About as subtle as a hammer to the face - and there's a fair bit of that going on from the get go. Some of the dialogue up up there with Gran Torino in the unintentional comedy stakes, but Thor remains Thor-oughly good fun throughout thanks to a great cast that dives into the material head first, embracing the campness of it all.

Review: Black Swan



Like Scorcese's Shutter Island, Black Swan doesn't do subtle - everything is way, way over the top and as an added bonus, any jokes about a honking soundtrack work on another level too this time.
