  • Cirque DU Soleil: Worlds Away (3D)

    “…ends up feeling like an above average concert movie…”

    June 13, 2013 16:26
  • Augustine

    “…direction is assured and there are strong performances throughout.”

    June 13, 2013 16:10
  • You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

    Packed with star power, this unabashedly arthouse film is enigmatic but emotionally touching, and will prove most rewarding for French film buffs.

    June 12, 2013 14:59
  • Mud

    A soulful and richly textured piece of storytelling.

    June 12, 2013 11:40
  • A Lady In Paris

    A cliche-ridden and emotionally hollow story that’s solely saved by Jeanne Moreau’s endless on-screen charm

    June 12, 2013 11:29
  • The Internship

    It’s formulaic and some of the gags grow old quickly, but it’s saved by the killer pairing of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn who deliver even when the script doesn’t.

    June 11, 2013 14:03
  • Farewell, My Queen

    A refreshing, compelling and humane take on a controversial historical figure who audiences have never lost their fascination with.

    June 4, 2013 14:42
  • Still Mine

    A funny, sad and deeply humane film about love overcoming adversity.

    June 4, 2013 14:36
  • Ping Pong

    A funny and engaging doco that prove a truly inspiring watch.

    June 4, 2013 14:27
  • Hold Up!

    “...the film’s unexpectedly somber denouement feels a little out of sync with the lighter tone of the first two acts…”

    June 4, 2013 13:43
  • Operacion E (Operation E)

    “In spite of ‘Operation E’s’ devastatingly heavy narrative, it is an undeniably humanist film…”

    June 4, 2013 13:34
  • El Cuerpo (The Body)

    “…a masterfully crafted homage to the greats of cinematic suspense…”

    June 4, 2013 13:16
  • Fast & Furious 6

    The latest installment entertainingly continues along the action-packed road paved by its two game-changing predecessors.

    June 4, 2013 10:44
  • Nothing On Earth

    A visually stunning and thematically rich journey into the Arctic.

    May 27, 2013 17:17
  • The Great Gatsby

    A bold, thrilling and visually dazzling take on the iconic story that captures the spirit and soul of Fitzgerald’s book.

    May 27, 2013 15:01
  • Sinister

    After an intriguing and compelling first half, this unfortunately dissipates into a handful of horror cliches as it veers into more supernatural territory.

    May 27, 2013 14:52
  • Happiness Never Comes Alone

    It’s packed with cliches and feels brushed by the hand of Hollywood, but this French romantic comedy is saved by the charm of its two lead stars.

    May 27, 2013 14:49
  • A Haunted House

    A lazy and uninspired parody that mines a potentially witty premise for the cheapest laughs.

    May 27, 2013 14:47
  • The Hangover Part 3

    The whole gang returns for what rates as a highly disappointing (alleged) conclusion to what had previously been a truly great comic franchise.

    May 22, 2013 13:05
  • Dead Man Down

    It has all the makings of a terrific edgy thriller, but sadly never manages to break free of its derivative Hollywood template.
