Despite competent acting and a handful of moving scenes, this arthouse crowd-pleaser ultimately proves underwhelming.

Repulsive and compelling, this intense and impressive revenge tale comes highly recommended for fans of the genre.

While the film initially sets out to parody the Bollywood romance, it quickly and disappointingly falls into cliché itself.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

While the third instalment is the most romantically overheated of the franchise so far, director David Slade commendably steps-up the film’s action.

The Karate Kid

While it’s not as good as the original, this remake is fresh and entertaining, largely thanks to the charismatic performances.

This predictable romantic comedy tries to emulate eccentric French film classics but falls short.

Uploaded June 28, 2010 13:58

Despite plenty of slapstick humour to keep the kids entertained, this film about a giant talking dog fails to deliver any clever or lasting jokes.

While packed to the margins with witty jokes and visual gags, the charming third instalment never loses sight of its emotional core.

Despite an elegant and impressive visual style, the narrative of this slow-paced film is uninteresting and full of cliché.

Get Him To The Greek

Full of laughs and crazy antics, this enjoyably wild ride always manages to remain grounded in the reality of its characters.
