Ridley Scott is such a disappointment, both in terms of filmography and personality. His films have been waning since the 1980s, slowly getting more and more mundane as the years have progressed and yet his legion of toady fans (which includes critics and members of the public) keep […]
It’s extremely strange that someone like Shawn Levy exists in show business; his lack of talent is pretty self-evident and simply glancing at a list of his films is enough to convince anybody that he’s a second-rate shit peddler. Levy if you don’t know, is a mediocre director […]
Oliver Stone is the type of filmmaker that if you ignore the majority of his work and focus on a handful of his films, you’d swear he was a movie-making maestro. Don’t get me wrong, Stone whether writing or directing has been responsible for some amazing movies, but […]
With a back catalogue that contains some interesting movies, and an innate talent for creating an important and credible feel to his films, Christopher Nolan has in the past been responsible for some great cinema. However in recent years his output has been underwhelming to say the least, […]
Antoine Fuqua has always been an inconsistent Director. His career has encompassed the trivial (“Bait”), the gritty (“Training Day”), the entertaining (“Shooter”), the dull (“Tears Of The Sun” and “King Arthur”) to the downright cheesy (“Olympus Has Fallen”). With his latest film “The Equalizer”, it’s as though he’s […]
It’s strange to think that back in the mid-nineties Michael Bay was a credible up-and-coming Action Director who made three enjoyable films back-to-back. Between 1995 and 1998, he Directed ‘Bad Boys’, ‘The Rock’, and ‘Armageddon’ all of which perfectly romanticised 20th Century Americana. In those days, seeing Bay’s […]
Judging from Hollywood’s output these days, it’s pretty obvious that the business has overtaken the art. Studios don’t give two shits what they produce as long as it makes money – just look at the amount of throwaway crap that’s released each year. If any more proof was […]
Len Wiseman’s penchant for creating the dullest and most drab looking films has now spanned across almost every popular genre, from Horror (Underworld), Action (Live Free Or Die Hard), and Science Fiction (Total Recall). With the most ironic surname in Hollywood, Wiseman started his career in the Art […]
Baz Luhrmann is an overrated director responsible for some of the most aimless and frivolous films ever to grace our screens. With only five films to his name in over twenty years, it is strange that both quantity and quality is lacking from his portfolio. Following each immense […]
Quentin Tarantino is one of the most overrated directors of modern times. Hold on, I think I should do this Tarantino style… a bit too long, full of expletives, out of sequence, and put pointlessly into chapters. Chapter One: Django Was Not Off The Chain Django Unchained was […]
M. Night Shyamalan is a one hit wonder, and if you’ve watched his last few films, you’ll be left wondering how he made even one hit. Back in 1999, Shyamalan surprised everybody by creating the low-budget brooding mystery The Sixth Sense. This was the year when Hollywood became […]
Over-familiarity and repetitiveness is not a great combination for a movie. From Hollywood’s point of view, a familiar character can mean attracting an established following, from the audience’s point of view however, this can be one of the most disappointing aspects of cinema-going. With Man Of Steel the […]
Kathryn Bigelow was best know for her thriller Blue Steal and her action-thriller Point Break, both of which were average films if it weren’t for the late Ron Silver and the late Patrick Swayze respectively (and maybe Keanu Reeves). For the last few years however, she has teamed […]
