The Vow
A saccharine and paint-by-numbers slice of romance, which is largely boosted by the appeal of its two leads.
The Help
"... it’s all so affecting because of the top-notch performances, which lend a spine to the sentimentality."
Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace (3D)
The under-utilised 3D adds little to this prequel, which only serves as a sore reminder of the brilliance of the original films.
Any Questions For Ben?
The talented bunch of actors ably cut through the surface gloss, but it’s tough to remain invested in the plight of the self-absorbed lead.

Berlin On Film
September 01, 2010 09:51
To coincide with the Berlin Dayz cultural festival and the twentieth anniversary of the reunification of Germany, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) presents a program of films devoted to the country’s capital in Berlin on Film this November.
Berlin has a unique rhythm which infuses its architecture, its culture and its citizens. This filmic celebration of the historical city brings together six documentaries; from the challenges of a country divided, to the process of reunification and the infinite possibilities of a Berlin without borders.
ACMI Film Programmer Kristy Matheson, with the assistance of the Goethe-Institut, has composed a program which reminds us of the challenges Berliners overcame and the sense of euphoria of reunification.
The program opens with 'Rhythm Is It' (2004), directed by Thomas Grube and Enrique Sánchez Lansch, which intertwines music and contemporary dance in an ambitious project.
Former East German model turned director Marco Wilms presents an exciting portrait of youth in revolt and subversive creativity in East Berlin in 'Comrade Couture' (2009).
Wilms’ earlier 'Berlin Vortex' (2003) taps into the wave of euphoria among youth in the Eastern block prompted by the reunification of Germany in 1989.
A heartfelt declaration of love to a city and its people, 'In Berlin' (2009) traces the changes that have taken place in the twenty years since the demolition of the Berlin Wall.
Berlin on Film will screen at ACMI from Thursday 4 to Monday 8 November, 2010.
