MARK FOKER MOVIE REVIEW
Posted on 11:26pm Thursday 19th August 2010
Starring: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Jason Schwartzman, Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Written by: Michael Bacall & Edgar Wright Director: Edgar Wright Certificate: 12A To my way of thinking ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ is a marmite movie. People are either going to love it or hate it. I loved it and I don’t think I’m even the studio’s target audience.

MARK FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW - ROBIN HOOD
Posted on 10:41pm Tuesday 11th May 2010
Starring: Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, William Hurt, Mark Strong, Max von Sydow Director: Ridley Scott Certificate 12A I don’t think the recent trailers for this movie do it credit. I really thought as though this was going to be ‘Gladiator in Tights’ but I was pleasantly surprised.

MARK FOKER'S DVD REVIEW - BRUCE LEE THE IMMORTAL DRAGON
Posted on 10:41pm Monday 3rd May 2010
It’s hard to believe that 2010 marks the 70th anniversary of Bruce Lee’s birth. Now the name Bruce Lee might not mean much to some people these days but in the 70’s he was like a God!

MARK FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW - 'KICK-ASS'
Posted on 2:56pm Wednesday 14th April 2010
Certificate 15 Starring: Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Cage, Chloe Moretz, Mark Strong, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Directed by: Matthew Vaughn Kick-Ass has pretty much killed off the Superhero movie as we know it. I pity the fool who has to step into the red & blue leotard for Spiderman 4, 5 or 6 as nobody will take it seriously anymore.

FOKER'S DVD REVIEW - A CLOSED BOOK
Posted on 11:39pm Tuesday 9th March 2010
A Closed Book would be very much at home as a theatrical thriller playing at the Fortune theatre in Covent Garden. You would also no doubt leave the building with the feeling that you’ve been entertained by some top notch actors. Now here’s the thing…as a movie the whole thing seems somewhat corny and would feel at home as a sinister episode from the much loved 80’s TV series ‘Tales of the Unexpected’.

MARK FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW - THE WOLFMAN
Posted on 8:59pm Tuesday 9th February 2010
First of all I must admit that I’m a sucker for a good werewolf movie and as a child this slice of the horror genre always held a fascination for me (maybe I need psychiatric help?). From 1923 to 1960 Universal Pictures was the king of horror movies and they have taken their 69 year old classic ‘The Wolfman’ and remade it for a new audience.

MARK FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW - THE HORSEMAN
Posted on 3:27pm Monday 2nd November 2009
When I was invited to review The Horseman, all I knew about it was that it was a ‘Revenge movie’ and my immediate reaction was that I’ve probably seen it all before. How wrong was I?
