Film reviews
Men In Black 3
It’s not a sequel that needed to be made, but thanks to the charm of its leads and a tone that harks back to the wit and humour of the original, it’s a pretty enjoyable trip.
Bel Ami
The excellent female support cast saves this patchy effort, which is let down by its leading man and a flat screenplay.
The Dictator
A disappointing, often repulsive and mean-spirited mess of a film with seemingly only one real criterion on its agenda: to shock and offend.
The Woman In Black
Packed with atmosphere, this old-fashioned but deftly told ghost story delivers ample chills and thrills.

FILMINK rates movies out of $20 - the score indicates the amount we believe a ticket to the movie to be worthThe latest installment contains some of this year’s biggest gross-out laughs and fans will be glad to hear the 3-D escalates the madness.
The Apple of My Ass: Take a grotesquely overweight man and place him on all fours. Insert a shiny red apple between his buttocks. Release a full grown farm pig and direct it to eat the apple from overweight man's buttocks while four friends stand by laughing hysterically. And that is what Jackass 3D brings to 2010's cinematic legacy, a random collection of male camaraderie, practical jokes, high impact stunts and some of the most disgusting video involving bodily functions ever captured on camera, let alone broadcast in 3-D. Not that there's anything wrong with all that; in fact Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera and the Jackass crew deliver some of the year's biggest laugh and barf moments with their abrasive antics.
Learning from their two previous outings, director Jeff Tremaine and producer Spike Jonze have honed their skills of stupidity to a fine instrument conjuring the funniest moments from the simplest of ideas and Jackass 3D richly indulges in this methodology with numerous vignettes littered amongst the big budgets stunts. From Knoxville's ‘High Five' involving a giant prop hand that knocks unexpected by-passers flat on their asses to shenanigans ranging from urinating to squirrel gliding under the roaring exhaust of a jet plane, the team proudly display their injuries, fear, trepidation and genitals all in the name of comedy. But be warned, while getting kicked in the nuts by a donkey is funny as hell to watch, exploding diarrhea, drinking sweat and violent vomiting are all part of Jackass 3D's charms.
And for those questioning the 3-D pedigree of the film, you'll either be pleased or anxious to learn that while not all the film is captured with the new technology, the 80% that is elevates the disgusting rain of gag inducing offenses, the jaw crunching violence and the sheer stupidity to impressive and unforgettable new lows.
