Soul Surfer
While it’s an inspiring tale and there are fantastic surfing scenes, any real emotion is drowned out by an overdose of wholesome family values

Get Low
Despite a terrific premise, this disappointingly slides into Hollywood sentimentality, but is propped up by Robert Duvall’s top-notch performance.

Of Gods And Men
While it’s slow-moving, this affecting and often beguiling drama is well worth seeing.

Oceans
Revealing breathtaking footage of the oceanic world, this is an unmissable doco for animal lovers – sometimes heartbreaking but always wondrous.

Main Street
This disappointingly suffers from some uninspired direction and a clutch of odd casting choices, which never work.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Returning to the thematic and narrative simplicity of the franchise's first film, the latest instalment is a rollicking and surprisingly enjoyable ride.

Snowtown
While atmospheric and competently acted, this hard-to-watch film ends up having nothing to say.
Uploaded May 16, 2011 13:19
Angele & Tony
A thinly drawn romantic drama focusing on two largely uninteresting characters.

The Princess Of Montpensier
While this veers into clichéd romance at times, prolific French director Bertrand Tavernier succeeds when exploring the film’s darker political themes.

Time Without Pity
“...begins as ludicrous and progressively gets more unconvincing.”
Uploaded May 12, 2011 12:01
Insidious
While the third act descends into silliness, for the most part this is a superbly crafted and genuinely scary flick that borrows brilliantly from horror classics.

Burke & Hare
While the premise had the potential for a great yarn, almost everyone hams it up embarrassingly and this ends up tedious, insipid and unfunny.

Water For Elephants
While it’s not without its flaws, this atmospheric and largely well-acted adaptation proves stronger than its source material.

Your Highness
With the comedy proving uneven, this surprisingly works better as an epic adventure ride than a vulgar farce.
