Reviews Archive

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.

Nothing But The Truth

"a must-see"

The Room

Despite the complete lack of talent of the principals, this cult oddity tries so hard for greatness that it almost gets there.

Daybreakers

A bad ending doesn’t detract too much from the great cast, plentiful blood and guts effects and rollicking pace.

Precious

Undeniably rewarding experience boosted by top drawer performances

Edge Of Darkness

Mel Gibson is back to his best in a thriller with a solid story.

The Road

A heavy and philosophical vision of humanity’s possible future.

Law Abiding Citizen

An entertaining thrill ride which unfortunately trades thought for action.

Being In Heaven

Un-engaging repetitive self-help lecture is more mind-numbing infomercial than movie.

Toy Story 1 And 2 3-D Double Feature

Restrained use of 3-D animation only enhances the magic of the originals. Bring on Toy Story 3.

Nine

Majestic in parts, but lacks a strong narrative.

In The Loop

Unconvincing script and acting compares badly with similar themed classics Brazil and Dr. Strangelove.
