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.
