Reviews Archive

Invictus

Intimate, passionate and entertaining change of pace for Eastwood.

The Treasure Hunter

Confusing plot & lukewarm acting ruin a potentially thrilling treasure hunt.

Mid August Lunch

An engaging film boasting charming performances, nuanced writing and subtle humour.

The Tooth Fairy

Cliched and predictable but goofy crowd-pleaser with a funny supporting cast.

Up In The Air

A moving dramedy, highly recommended for its witty writing and engaging performances.

Bran Nue Dae

Falls short of its potential, with mediocre performances and dance sequences.

James Cameron's Avatar

Not bad if you’re in an undemanding mood and you just can’t shake Avatar fever.

Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack The Ripper

"...for those who like a relaxed pace and a lot of conundrums."

Little Ashes

The miscasting of Robert ‘Twilight’ Pattinson as Dali and a cliché-ridden approach ruins an intriguing premise.

It's Complicated

Above average, 'mature' rom-com, bolstered by Alec Baldwin’s charismatic ability to poke fun at himself.

Like Stars On Earth

Bollywood take on a serious issue reaps morally and musically sound result.

Fighting

"As an action film, Fighting pulls fewer punches than its name may suggest."

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Filled with vibrant characters, sharp soundtrack choices and Wes Anderson’s unique comedic stylings.

The Princess And The Frog

Beautifully drawn and great for the kids but not the classic Disney would have been aiming for.

Drag Me To Hell

"...throws you around when you least expect it..."

Did You Hear About The Morgans?

Not even the inspired pairing of rom-com faves Grant and Jessica Parker can save this leaden effort.

Mesrine

Anchored by a bravura lead performance, this is a gripping gangster flick, even with its mammoth running time.

The Lovely Bones

Despite missteps, Peter Jackson’s return to more intimate material remains fascinating.

Sherlock Holmes

Lacking an emotional core, this badly scripted and unoriginal mess is barely saved by its leads.

Old Dogs

Not as bad as most critics claim, this un-Disney Disney movie has a few actual laugh-out loud moments.
