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?

FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW - '9'
Posted on 4:17pm Wednesday 21st October 2009
“WHEN OUR WORLD ENDED THEIR MISSION BEGAN” reads the advertising slogan for the new animated movie ‘9’. Not to be confused with the live action musical ‘Nine’ due out this Christmas.

FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW
Posted on 1:28pm Tuesday 13th October 2009
‘Couples Retreat’ goes on release in the UK on October 14. However, the latest word from our friends across the pond is that it has knocked horror comedy ‘Zombieland’ off the number one spot in the US. It’s fair to say that ‘Couples Retreat’ could be Universal’s sleeper of the year.

FOKER'S MOVIE REVIEW - INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
Posted on 12:55pm Tuesday 18th August 2009
I have to say that this is possibly Quentin Tarantino’s greatest work since Pulp Fiction. What we have here is a World War II movie created in his very unique style. Tarantino pays great attention to detail with imaginative costumes, impressive production locations in France and Germany plus a cast of respected award winning International actors but he also ‘crowbars’ in a storyline that you won’t find in any history books.
