Movie reviews of Jack Bottomley

Goes downhill fast becoming foreseeable and not especially enjoyable. Review

Appears to be an artistic statement without the punch; there is occasional fun but very little actual atmosphere. Review

Well acted but lags in excitement in parts. Review

Cements the franchise as one of the most regressive in cinema history, as it continues with this laughter-allergic fifth instalment. Review

Only intermittently entertaining and bogged down by too much over-familiarity in the writing and too little impact overall. Review

An effective, if flawed, low budget horror with very good effects and a paranoiac narrative. Review

Predictable to a tee but has a great warm heart. Review

Joe fans will be way happier than they were the first time round. Review

Whilst it is light on details it is heavy on heart and intention. Review

The film that Contagion should have been, gripping, meaningful and scary (but not for the most obvious reasons). Review

Obscure, obsessive and essential. Room 237 is one of the best films about watching films ever made. Review

Not big on originality but the cast lend it a fun factor. Review

Is an intermittently fun but ultimately disposable sequel with no real villain to challenge our heroes. Review

May be somewhat disappointing but there are still Saturday matinee thrills to be had with this sequel. Review

Extinguishes a lavish cast with an unfunny gross out dross and is already a contender for worst film of 2013. Review

You thought that the Found Footage technique had run its course; think again with V/H/S, an effective indie horror anthology. Review
