Godzilla (1998)

‘Sighs’ do matter

Check out the award that this film won – but that’s what can happen when you give people the vote, right?

The Hangover (2009)

Church on time?

Picturenose welcomes another new recruit – Kerry Richards – to entertain us with her thoughts on the latest ‘men behaving badly’ romp.

Todd Phillips’ (Road Trip (2000), Starsky and Hutch (2004)) The Hangover (2009) is a Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, and who [...]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

Sharp-fisted fella

Prequels, eh? We all know that The Godfather Part II (1974) by and large started the ball rolling, with its look at the early life of Brando’s Vito Corleone, as played by Robert De Niro in the second film. However, that is one of the best films ever made (it was the first and [...]

2012 (2009)

Big bangs can’t conceal shoddy script

First, a question. Did you enjoy Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day, way back in 1996?

The Hurt Locker (2008)

The right combination…

Jeremy Slater takes a look at Kathryn Bigelow’s latest – she’s a woman who knows about men, it seems..

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

Lion highs

Thank heavens for a family blockbuster that manages to combine religious symbolism, rip-roaring adventure and genuine directorial verve – the form has been tainted recently by Chris Weitz’s appalling pseudo alternate-universe mess The Golden Compass (2007), based on Philip Pullman’s God-awful novel of the same name.

Tropic Thunder (2008)

It’s all change at Picturenose – Brussels-based journalist and critic Jeremy Slater joins the fold, with his review of Ben Stiller’s comedy epic…

As James pointed out in his recent review of What Just Happened? (2009) there is nothing quite like a great spoof of our favourite fun factory, Hollywood, for the real film [...]

Australia (2008)

[photopress:Australia.jpg,thumb,alignleft]Nothing wizard here

Always a worrying sign, when a studio places an embargo on critics at the world’s first screening of a film, as happened with Australia (2008) – the inevitable question is: ‘So, does 20th Century Fox know something really bad that we don’t?’

Unfortunately, it would appear that the answer is pretty much in the [...]

Deliverance (1972)

[photopress:deliverance_pig.jpg,thumb,alignleft] ‘You better pray good…’

First Griner: [sarcastically] Canoe trip?
Lewis: That’s right, a canoe trip.
First Griner: What the hell you wanna go fuck around with that river for?
Lewis: Because it’s there.
First Griner: It’s there all right. You get in there and can’t get out, you gonna wish it wasn’t.

I’m slowly working my way through classic [...]

New James Bond Movie – Quantum of Solace – Reviewed!!!

[photopress:Quantum_1.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Quantum leaps

So, that’s it then. With this movie review, Picturenose lays its cards on the table. Long live the new king – Daniel Craig, in just two portrayals, has wrested the ‘Best James Bond Ever’ title from one Sir Sean Connery (remember him?) and, in Quantum of Solace (2008), director Marc Forster and writers [...]
