Floating Weeds

Aesthetically beautiful, witty and moving, this is a truly special film.

Convoy

While an interesting period piece, unfortunately this film doesn't take the genre anywhere new.

Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia

One of the classics of the era, this brutal but incredible film from the '70s deserves rediscovering.

Beneath Hill 60

Devoid of overblown heroism and boosted by fine performances, this is a powerfully affecting war tale.

A Prophet

This sprawling ultra-realistic prison drama is a near-masterpiece and further complemented by a clutch of impressive special features.

An Actor's Revenge

A dizzying array of techniques and styles, this Japanese film from the early sixties is truly fascinating.

Youth In Revolt

While ocasionally a little too clever for its own good, this witty and ambitious comedy comes out on top.

Furry Vengeance

Full of clunky CGI and uninspired performances, this film is completely devoid of humour and heart.

Beauty & The Beast 3D

This charming animation has stood the test of time and thankfully the 3D only serves to enhance the film’s magic.

The Tumbler

While the film isn’t perfect, it delivers an intriguing and swiftly paced narrative.

Tomorrow When The War Began

While the action fares slightly better than character development; this absorbing blockbuster deserves to be a hit.

Going The Distance

While occasionally opting for cheap laughs, this romantic comedy is entertaining, warm and feels surprisingly rooted in real life.

The Kids Are All Right

Driven by excellent performances, this entertaining film provides a fresh view of modern family life.

Avatar: Special Edition

If you’re prepared to give another three hours of your life to this film, it turns out those precious 8 minutes of extra footage are rather insightful.

Aashayein

While its premise is touching, the film’s continual decision to enter into a fantasy world detracts from the coherence and impact of the story.

Piranha (3-D)

While the copious amounts of nudity and gore were expected, this twisted film lacks wit and sadistically revels in its victims’ bloodshed.

Lafangey Parindey

While driven by compelling performances, the film fails to explore the ideas and themes it raises and wraps up the narrative too conveniently

Vampires Suck

While the Twilight franchise contains ample potential for witty parody, the majority of jokes in this disappointing and predictable spoof fall flat.

The Human Centipede

Completely absorbing the viewer in its nightmarish premise, this unsettling film raises some interesting and challenging questions.

Boy

Beautifully realised and touching on serious issues, this moving film is propelled by big laughs and an even bigger heart.
