Tomorrow When The War Began

Tomorrow When The War Began

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

Film

Furry Vengeance

Furry Vengeance

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

Film

Going The Distance

Going The Distance

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

Beauty & The Beast 3D (Film)

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

The Tumbler (Film)

August 31, 2010 at 14:13

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

Avatar: Special Edition (Film)

August 30, 2010 at 09:49

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 (Film)

August 27, 2010 at 10:30

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) (Film)

August 26, 2010 at 15:27

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

Lafangey Parindey (Film)

August 24, 2010 at 12:46

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