Review: Motherfucking End of fucking Watch motherfuckers

 Comments

 Warning, negro: There are a few motherfucking spoilers in this review! 

End of Watch is a very manly movie, complete with a strong bromance, guns, gun fights, an absurd amount of shaky-cam, heavy use of the word 'motherfucker' (among some others), gangsters and of course, sexy ladies. But it takes us chaps down a route that's not so macho after all, one that encourages us to shed a tear or two and maybe even hold on to our heterosexual friends' hand, petrified that something horrific might happen to our two favourite penis-wielding policemen, Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Michael Pena).

Review: The Master is a mystery

 Comments


 Warning: Mild spoilers contained within... 

Who else went in to see The Master expecting to officially have their minds well and truly blown? Who expected intense character-driven drama and intricate storytelling? Who felt a little short-changed? Sure, all the vital 'Paul Thomas Anderson' ingredients are there, but it seems they've not been mixed and merged together as well as we might have hoped. More than anything, the film's a bit of a mystery. It's very long, brilliantly acted, but ultimately not really worth the effort. There's a point in there though, somewhere.

Shopping List November 2012 - 007, robots & rings

 Comments

We're smack bang in the middle of November and we've spent the past few weeks hearing a never ending bombardment of explosives being let off outside our bedroom windows. Now, we're all coming to terms with the fact that, despite there already being Christmas lights everywhere you turn, November is very much our last month of freedom from the panic of gift-buying and our final paycheck before the big day. So, before society goes batshit, chucking their money at Apple for a phone they've already got, putting trees in their front rooms and pretty much robbing Comet, why not prepare yourself with HCTV's shopping list? What follows is a list of 10 ideas for great gifts or, indeed, some little somethings to treat yourself with.

Review: Argo fuck yourself

 Comments



 هشدار: خوانده شده بعد از اینکه شما تماشا 

Argo packs one hell of a punch, leaving you feeling tense for hours after it's finished - a strong cast and perfect pacing ensures a nail-biting journey, but even though we're informed at the start of the film that it's based off true events (no The Imposter-style misunderstandings this time round!), it's often quite tricky to tell how much of the action has been dramatised for the sake of nudging us closer and closer to the edge of our seats. The question is, of course, who gives a shit, really? It's a fine piece of cinema that opens your eyes, forces you to confront a scary world and offers a chuckle or two along the way - even if it's a little over the top.

Podcast #11 - Thank you very much

 Comments
Kate Middleton's blurry boobs, Adele's Skyfall, pine furniture, hospital radio, Prince (and a cat with one too many ribs), Darius, Sideshow Bob and most importantly - Elvis. It's all here, in the awesome 11th HCTV podcast!

There are some extra special treats in this podcast too! You'll get to hear an advert from many years ago when Roo was doing some work experience at his local radio station (Maidstone's CTR) as well as a ton of hilarious (yet awful) impressions of various celebrities. Roo & Will settle an old score, too, as they come to terms with how a certain cartoon villain is mumbling.

Sharing the HCTV podcasts with your chums and if you want us to talk about something specific make sure you leave a comment here or twat us!

What will Disney do with Star Wars?

 Comments
Disney have only gone and got their grubby little hands on the Star Wars franchise, but what the hell are they planning to do with it? Squeeze it for all it's worth - that's what! Surely their first thoughts have been merchandise-related - stacks of new lunchboxes, talking action figures, trading cards, teddy bears, toilet seats, etc - but come 2015 they'll have to deliver the new movie they've promised everyone. Episode 7. But the question is, will it be more Jar Jar than Yoda? More Maul than Vadar? More green screen than actually surprisingly good visual effects considering when they were done? Only time (and space!) will tell...
