Posted in REVIEWS with tags , , , , , on July 17, 2011 by Ross McG

I was watching Bad Lieutenant again last night when I suddenly realised I’d forgotten to put my review of it last year up on our crummy little site. That’s how bowled over I was by it: I forgot to hit ‘Publish’ on a new post. For anyone interested in reading something I wrote ages ago about a film that was out ages ago, the review is below. For those not interested… I’ll kill all of you. To the break of dawn (I won’t actually kill anyone, I’m just lamely quoting from the film.

Batman Begins v Batman Forever

Posted in BATTLES with tags , , , , , , , , , , on February 1, 2009 by rossvross

In the luminous green corner stands Batman, Robin, The Riddler, Two-Face and Nicole Kidman’s cleavage. In the very dark corner (though not as dark as The Dark Knight’s corner) stands uh, Batman. And his beginnings. Which is the better film? Read the arguments and decide. Was that intro over the top? I can never tell! Continue reading →
