Reviews Archive

The Open Sky (El Cielo Abierto)

A simple but affecting documentary about martyred Archbishop Oscar Romero.

Warrior

Dotted with emotional honesty and strong storytelling that you only find in truly special movies.

Judy Moody And The Not Bummer Summer

A wonderful, fast paced and warm-hearted film that is only slightly let down by a couple of poor adult characterisations.

Drive

One of this year’s most original, entertaining and frankly shocking American movies.

Birthday

Uncompromising, ambitious character drama unable to translate into effective cinema.

Autoluminescent Rowland S. Howard

A reverential access all areas celebration of a seminal local musician.

Acorazado

Clever, satirical premise let down due to its sitting on the fence conclusion.

Paranormal Activity 3

A solid, mostly entertaining supernatural thriller.

Star Wars The Clone Wars The Complete Season 3

"...a worthwhile addition to the Star Wars canon."

George Harrison: Living In The Material World

Modest and leisurely, albeit exhaustive and insightful, this would have been even better with extended music sequences.

TT3D: Closer To The Edge

A moving and exhilirating insight into what motivates people to risk lives in the pursuit of their passion.

The Three Muskateers

Special effects and 3-D fail to add anything new to this radical, and unsuccessful shake-up of the classic story.

Midnight In Paris

Woody Allen’s latest froth-fest is initially entertaining and enjoyable, but ultimately predictable and even patronising.

Contagion

An intelligent, emotionally driven ensemble film that we have come to expect from Soderbergh.

The Art Of Flight

Mesmerising in both the way that it’s shot and in what it depicts, this extreme adventure is well worth taking.

1911

Jackie Chan defies expectation and impresses as both co-director and star of this rousing and fascinating epic.

Surviving Georgia

Driven by engaging lead performances and working from an honest but sweet script, this winds up a real charmer.

The Cup

Driven by Stephen Curry’s brilliant lead performance, this deeply moving story is told in an accessible but powerful manner.

Red State

A somewhat return to form for director Kevin Smith, this flawed but strangely compelling indie flick is refreshingly unpredictable.

Take Shelter

An unsettling and multi-dimensional family drama driven by the always compelling Michael Shannon, who delivers another powerful turn.
