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.
Uploaded September 13, 2010 13:18
Easy A
With witty dialogue and astute comedic performances, this film parodies the clichés of other teen movies but still feels fresh.
Uploaded September 13, 2010 13:13
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.
Uploaded September 13, 2010 13:07
The Last Airbender 3D
With poorly executed action, wooden acting and a dead script, this fantasy film is a strong contender for a Razzie.
Uploaded September 13, 2010 13:02
The Extra Man
Too clever for its own good, this film moves abruptly between serious drama and broad comedy.
Uploaded September 13, 2010 13:01
We Are Family
Strengthened by nuanced performances, this film explores its subject matter with just the right amount of sentimentality.
Uploaded September 07, 2010 13:59
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.
Uploaded September 07, 2010 11:37
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.
Uploaded September 07, 2010 11:35
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.
Uploaded September 07, 2010 11:32
The Disappearance Of Alice Creed
Largely devoid of suspense and thrills, this film is slightly lifted by Gemma Arterton’s compelling performance.
Uploaded September 07, 2010 11:30
Please Give
This quirky film feels slightly tired at its core and follows a group of self-involved, but largely uninteresting, characters.
Uploaded September 07, 2010 11:25
Visioneers
A peculiarly compelling little film which admirably demonstrates restraint and well-paced comedic timing.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 13:19
Turn It Loose
A dance documentary that's exciting, revealing and emotionally compelling.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 13:15
Tudawali
While the premise is full of possibilities, the material is delivered in a largely unengaging style.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 13:11
The Lives Of Mount Druitt Youth
Lacking context and solid production values, this documentary is lifted by the thought provoking subject matter.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 13:06
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.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 13:01
Solitary Man
Despite a lagging middle section, this is a well made and largely rewarding film.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 12:55
Invincible
Despite some uneven acting and a rushed finale, this amazing story leaves an indelible mark.
Uploaded September 02, 2010 12:52
High Heels
While the film's sense of humour may be a required taste, this quirky murder mystery has a clutch of memorable moments.
