I'm Still Here

Alternately funny and poignant, this riveting docu-drama works best as a self-reflective piece that examines notions of celebrity and artistry.

Cats And Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore

While the jokes are obvious, this fun family film has a big heart, an element missing from the recent slew of kids’ movies about animals.

Easy A

With witty dialogue and astute comedic performances, this film parodies the clichés of other teen movies but still feels fresh.

The Reluctant Infidel

Often uproariously funny, this cross-cultural comedy brims with sharp dialogue and its ideas are sensitive and intelligent without being heavy-handed.

The Last Airbender 3D

With poorly executed action, wooden acting and a dead script, this fantasy film is a strong contender for a Razzie.

The Extra Man

Too clever for its own good, this film moves abruptly between serious drama and broad comedy.

We Are Family

Strengthened by nuanced performances, this film explores its subject matter with just the right amount of sentimentality.

The Other Guys

With the two leads revealing pitch-perfect chemistry, this hysterically funny film is packed with bizarre dialogue and over the top action.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

While containing a handful of impressive action sequences, this film is let down by a contrived premise and by-the-numbers script.

Despicable Me

While it falls short of other digital animations, this family film is boosted by a first class voice cast, plenty of laughs and a warm heart.

The Disappearance Of Alice Creed

Largely devoid of suspense and thrills, this film is slightly lifted by Gemma Arterton’s compelling performance.

Please Give

This quirky film feels slightly tired at its core and follows a group of self-involved, but largely uninteresting, characters.

Visioneers

A peculiarly compelling little film which admirably demonstrates restraint and well-paced comedic timing.

Turn It Loose

A dance documentary that's exciting, revealing and emotionally compelling.

Tudawali

While the premise is full of possibilities, the material is delivered in a largely unengaging style.

The Lives Of Mount Druitt Youth

Lacking context and solid production values, this documentary is lifted by the thought provoking subject matter.

Last Station, The

With plenty of light moments to complement the drama, this film is both an ode to love and an insight into the life of a fascinating author.

Solitary Man

Despite a lagging middle section, this is a well made and largely rewarding film.

Invincible

Despite some uneven acting and a rushed finale, this amazing story leaves an indelible mark.

High Heels

While the film's sense of humour may be a required taste, this quirky murder mystery has a clutch of memorable moments.
