WARM BODIES (2013) DIRECTOR: Johnathan Levine STARRING: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, John Malkovich GENRE: Romance, Zombie, Comedy CERT: 12A REVIEWER: Gemma *Warning: Review contains spoilers* Warm Bodies had the promise of being a slick, smart zombie movie.

So it came as a bit of surprise when it was announced that a third film in the franchise would be coming out, especially as it had been…
RED RIDING HOOD (2011) DIRECTOR: Catherine Hardwicke STARRING: Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons and Julie Christie GENRE: Horror, Fantasy, Mystery CERT: 12 REVIEWER: Laura Let’s start with the cinema tagline: “From the director of Twilight comes this breathtaking vision of 700 year old legend”. Then let me say I couldn’t help it, I know it’s not necessarily cool any longer to love both the Twilight books and films, but I don’t care, I love them anyway! And so as soon as I saw the trailer…
