Reviews Archive

The Escapist

A combination of a superb score and amazing performances make this a genre defying prison break film.

Lucky Country

A bizarre and enigmatic opus which loses some of its forcefulness under heavy emotions and elliptical editing.

My Friends My Loves

The sweet story gets overshadowed by strange directorial choices, though the cast support the story well.

My Life In Ruins

Tired and predictable, Nia Vardalos is simply trying to cash in on the reputation that made her famous.

Bruno

Sacha Baron Cohen once again takes his audience on a hilarious journey, exposing prejudice.

Winged Creatures

Despite a collection of talented actors, Winged Creatures doesn’t break any new ground.

The Fox And The Child

A strange mix of doco/fairy tale, this film does have beautiful cinematography but is let down by inconsistencies in tone.

The Burning Season

This is a fascinating doco which doesn’t preach and keeps you hooked.

Last Ride

Though the script doesn’t always reach its potential, visually this is a stunning film that challenges its audience.

Everybody Wants To Be Italian

While often mediocre,it isn’t a complete failure and provides enough laughs to keep it watchable.

Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs

Director Carlos Saldanha has introduced an exciting new story which, while it doesn’t amaze, is an enjoyable adventure.

I Really Hate My Job

I Really Hate My Job is a painful and clichéd visit to the cinema which fails to do its job.

Every Little Step

Just as powerful as the original musical- keeps you glued to the fascinating and heartbreaking audition process.

Noodle

Though shot and characterised in a low key, almost darkly comical manner, Noodle is so abundant with charm and genuine feeling.

Wake In Fright

Almost lost to the ravages of time, Wake In Fright is a seventies masterpiece, re-mastered for the big screen.

Hannah Montana: The Movie

“...there’s no denying Miley’s natural talent...”

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

“…all over the shop.”

Bastardy

“…quite extraordinary, and consistently surprising.”

Coco Avant Chanel

“Audrey Tautou gives a near flawless performance…”

Fanboys

"...has enough knowing warmth to entertain even the staunchest sci-fi cynic."
