HollyWho Screen 2's World Of Film

 REVIEW: Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3D  The Winter Soldier is a different kind of beast to most Marvel Cinematic Universe films. The franchise is largely known for its mix of typical superhero action and comedy one liners, but Captain America: The Winter Soldier delivers something different. Whilst, yes, it's still a Marvel superhero film and therefore contains all of the heroics that you would typically expect, the tone is much more grounded and serious.  I watched this film tonight on Blu-ray 3D, and let me tell you the 3D is absolutely incredible. Shields fly out, guns protrude out of the screen and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) flies right towards your eyes. It's a truly breathtaking experience, and one that I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the MCU. 3D always tends to work well with films that contain plenty of intense action sequences, for reasons which are pretty obvious (3D being all about offering spectacle). So it helps that the Winter Soldier has some of

 REVIEW: Captain America: The First Avenger 3D The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come so far in the past decade that it's easy to forget its early beginnings. Long before there was this vast and ever-growing cinematic universe, there were a measly six heroes sharing the same world - one of whom was recast after his one and only solo feature. Captain America: The First Avenger occupies this early space, and it makes for an interesting film to rewatch with the hindsight of later developments within the tapestry of the MCU. I chose to rewatch this feature on 3D Blu-ray, and I'm well aware that I'm in the minority when I say that I  still hold a genuine love for stereoscopic 3D. I believe it adds a certain immersion to a given movie that's missing when you watch in plain old 2D. Good 3D leaves you feeling involved in the story, as though it's a hidden doorway into another world, and the action is taking place right in front of your very eyes. Captain America: The First

 REVIEW: G-Force Originally published in 2016, here are my thoughts on G-Force. Disney have had so many live-action hits recently that it's hard to forget some of them haven't been quite that good. Case in point: G-Force. A film that had a strong concept for a family film (who doesn't want to see secret agent guinea pigs?) but weak execution. Whilst G-Force merchandise was hard to avoid at the time, thankfully it seems to have been pretty much forgotten. And quite right too. The film follows a guinea pig called Darwin (Sam Rockwell) who leads a team of secret agents: martial artist Juarez (Penelope Cruz), weapons and transportation expert Blaster (Tracy Morgan), cyber-intelligence mole expert Speckles (Nicolas Cage) and exploration agent fly Mooch (Dee Bradley Baker). When the team investigate the home of businessman Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy), the business owner of Saberling Technology and a person who has been under FBI investigation for a while, unit leader Ben's (Za

 REVIEW: School Of Rock When I posted my Twitter poll a few weeks ago asking if I should watch School Of Rock, many of you voted in your numbers to say I should check it out. In some respects, I'm surprised I haven't given it a go before. I like musicals, I think Jack Black always turns in a great performance and I like a bit of rock and roll. I guess the days before streaming made it hard to watch these films unless the TV schedules aligned, or you happened to find it on Lovefilm, but now Netflix makes it much easier. It begins strongly, with Dewey Finn (Jack Black) playing a rock concert with his band. Immediately you get a sense of the film's tone, with a hilarious failed stage dive that suggests a comedic touch throughout the motion picture. Dewey is later fired from the band, which acts as a decent pivotal moment to set up his 'want' to create a new group that can set him back on the rock scene. A couple of key supporting characters in this film are Dewey'
