The Box

Despite a poor premise, this film is an intriguing affair abound with strange details

Green Zone

Damon delivers a stirring performance in this thought-provoking film but it ultimately fails to distinguish itself from the recent influx of Middle East war films

My One And Only

A warm-hearted road trip movie which boasts strong performances

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Assistant

Despite fun performances, this wannabe franchise lacks ambiance

Remember Me

Pattison delivers another brooding performance in this self-indulgent film about young love and deliverance

Alice In Wonderland 3D

The cast do their best, but Disney has sanitised the wonderful world of Tim Burton

Dear John

By the numbers romantic plotline? Sappy tearjerker? Must be another Nicholas Sparks adaptation

Separation City

Despite rough patches, this film delivers a surprisingly absorbing take on the romantic misadventures of a group of thirtysomethings.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

While this often hilariously haphazard film draws you in, you’re ultimately left trying to discern fact from fiction.

A Single Man

At the heart of this poignant, exquisitely told story is Firth’s brilliant performance.

The Blind Side

Bullock’s strong performance is the driving force behind this well crafted crowd-pleaser.

Shutter Island

Although bogged down with its denouement, this is still Scorsese, which means genre cinema at its visionary best.

Crazy Heart

Deeply felt performances, great music and pitch-perfect detail make this a film to be cherished

North Face

While the film’s social context is not sufficiently explored, this remains a compelling and heartfelt cinematic retelling of an epic journey

The Hurt Locker

A must-see film with gripping performances and vivid evocation of urban warfare in Iraq.

From Paris With Love

An abysmal film: a buddy comedy with no jokes, implausible storylines and boring action scenes

The Wolfman

In the end, this feels like a missed opportunity with its by-the-numbers horror script and disaffected performances.

A Prophet

A riveting and unforgettable story of one man’s rise through the prison ranks.

Valentine's Day

Loose in narrative and light in tone, a perfectly inoffensive date movie.

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief

With a top-notch cast and dazzling special effects, this will tide the teens over until the next Harry Potter instalment.
