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 worthMesmerising in both the way that it’s shot and in what it depicts, this extreme adventure is well worth taking.
Snowboarding fan or not, this extreme sports spectacle will prove mesmerising with its breathtaking scenery, state-of-the-art cinematography and ground breaking tricks.
Viewers are immersed in the lives of multiple snowboarders, including Winter X-Games gold medallist, Travis Rice, two-time ‘Rider of the Year' John Jackson and Olympic medallists Scotty Lago and Pat Moore as they take on some of the earth's most dynamic, remote terrain and harsh weather conditions, including Patagonia's Darwin Range, Alaska's Tordrillo Range, and The Andes, and in doing so redefine what is possible to accomplish on a snowboard.
Parallel to the highs of snowboarding that these riders live for, are also the lows and dangers that they embrace with this sport - avalanches, mishaps and bad decisions all come into play as they are ‘chasing the winter'. The riders keep the viewers captivated not only through their sheer skills but also by their passion for snowboarding.
"It's not the destination, it's the adventure along the way and it seems cliché to say that but it's really how it is," says director/producer/editor Curt Morgan, and that's the sense he has captured here. Although buying a ticket to see The Art Of Flight won't immediately appeal to audiences outside of snowboarding and extreme sports fans, once they're in the cinema everyone will be spellbound by this film.
