The Lucky One Review by Bill Harrington The Lucky One is a fairly lazy vehicle for Zac Efron to demonstrate that he is all grown up and has a new muscular physique to show off for the titillation of his fans.

The Divide Review by Dan Collacott In recent years nuclear war has been replaced by zombies, A.I., vampires, lycans and even mother nature as the most likely culprit to wipe out mankind. The Divide goes old skool. When bombs level New York a team of survivors are forced to take shelter in a basement bunker. The Divide puts the sickness in radiation sickness, with its Lord of the Flies style survival set up - where humanity is at much at risk from itself as it is any nuclear fall out! |

The Hunger Games Review by Bill Harrington One of the most talked about book to film franchises since that pesky boy wizard and those oversexed teen vampires graced our screens. But if you managed to duck the tidal wave hype, will you drown in the high concept movie itself rather than under the weight of expectation placed on it?
