Black Swan

While it’s no crowd pleaser, this visually stunning thriller glides on Aronofsky’s visceral direction and powerhouse performances from the entire cast.

The Fighter

Christian Bale steals the show with his unforgettable performance in this absorbing and bruising drama.

Primal

The thrills and suspense are not enough to make up for the stock characters or confusing narrative.

The Dilemma

Despite a handful of funny moments and fine performances, this film fails to find the right balance between comedy and drama.

Salt

"...this water-tight thriller, vigorously directed by Australian Phillip Noyce, is loaded with intrigue."

Hawke

"... a rollicking, engaging biopic of the first order."

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

"As with other Edgar Wright DVDs, the abundance of special features here will be an absolute joy for fans."

Down Terrace

"...a very low budget British gangster flick that really stands out amongst the crowd."

Bonded By Blood

"...makes for violently entertaining, if slightly familiar, viewing."

The Expendables

"A rousing heart-starter from adrenalised beginning to barnstorming end, The Expendables is the hands-down pick of this year's action crop."

Chloe

"...a dark and lonely look at suburban life."

Piranha (3-D)

"...Piranha may just be the trashy horror comedy you've been looking for."

Burlesque

While campy and clichéd, this is a surprisingly enjoyable piece of escapism with Christina Aguilera delivering an impressive turn in the lead role.

Morning Glory

Amongst the big name cast, it’s Rachel McAdams that shines in this rom-com with substance.

American: The Bill Hicks Story

A great introduction to a cult comedian that will whet your appetite for more of the master’s work.

Tangled

State-of-the-art computer animation meets classic Disney storytelling.

Unstoppable

Entertaining, fast moving and stylishly made, but gets derailed by predictability.

Tomorrow When The War Began

"Paramount's handling of the DVD cannot be faulted."

My Own Worst Enemy: Complete Series

"...one of the freshest, most exciting series by a major studio in recent memory."

Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus

Is this glorious trash? Or just trash?
