latest reviews
The Other Guys
With the two leads revealing pitch-perfect chemistry, this hysterically funny film is packed with bizarre dialogue and over the top action.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
While containing a handful of impressive action sequences, this film is let down by a contrived premise and by-the-numbers script.
Despicable Me
While it falls short of other digital animations, this family film is boosted by a first class voice cast, plenty of laughs and a warm heart.
The Disappearance Of Alice Creed
Largely devoid of suspense and thrills, this film is slightly lifted by Gemma Arterton’s compelling performance.

Tim Burton At ACMI From June 24 2010
March 09, 2010 14:50
The Australian Centre for the Moving Image is proud to present Melbourne Winter Masterpieces 2010 Tim Burton 24 June and 10 October, 2010.
The major exhibition explores the full scale of Burton’s career, as director, concept artist illustrator and photographer, through hundreds of artworks that spectacularly illuminate the creative vision behind Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Alice in Wonderland.
Tracing Burton’s visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawings through his mature work in film, the exhibition brings together over 700 examples of rarely or never-before-seen drawings, paintings, photographs, storyboards, moving-image works, puppets, maquettes, costumes, and cinematic ephemera, and includes an extensive film series spanning his 27-year career.
ACMI Director Tony Sweeney said the exhibition includes little-known drawings, paintings, and sculptures created in the spirit of contemporary Pop Surrealism, alongside works from conception to production from Burton’s short and feature films.
“Burton’s amazing catalogue of work, and his inspirational artistry has garnered him an international audience of fans and he has influenced a generation of young artists across the moving image art spectrum,” said Tony Sweeney.
The largest exhibition to ever be presented in ACMI’s Gallery 1 has been curated in direct collaboration with Burton and features artworks and objects drawn from his personal archive, as well as studio archives and the private collections.
