" A top cast just manages to keep Four Holidays afloat but the script offers too few laughs, and slapstick turns to schmaltz before we've had enough Christmas Cheer."
Posted Dec 1, 2008
 
Four Christmases (2008)24%
/
 
" The images and subject matter are mesmerising, yet as a whole, the film feels fragmented . . . the cinematography is extraordinary so it is disappointing that the film as a whole is not more satisfying"
Posted Nov 29, 2008
 
Animals in Love (2008)n/a
/
 
" There's a likeable freshness about the entire production%u2026 I felt quite energised after watching this contagious, colourful and uplifting musical that merges fantasy and reality together with such zest that we suddenly feel the sky is the limit %u201"
Posted Nov 29, 2008
 
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)68%
/
 
" It's what could be termed a gentle comedy, this story about immigrants trying to blend into the fabric of rural British society; a routinely pleasant small comedy that explores Britain's immigration issues and relevant enough to touch a nerve anywhere"
Posted Nov 20, 2008
 
Grow Your Own (2007)60%
/
 
" The film looks magnificent but is far too long. The star power is dazzling but I didn't believe the central characters or their relationship. Nonetheless, it's an engrossing experience and one whose indelible images of a strikingly beautiful land linger."
Posted Nov 18, 2008
 
Australia (2008)51%
/
 
" In short, we are not satisfied. For starters, it lacks the heart Eva Green's Vesper gave the previous film. Like Bond, we miss her."
Posted Nov 14, 2008
 
Quantum of Solace (2008)66%
/
 
" It's lightweight and reasonable likeable, but there's nothing special about this predictable rom com in which a single mother finds her son's sperm donor and then deliberates on the options that life offers her"
Posted Nov 8, 2008
 
And Then Came Love (2007)17%
/
 
" It's as hypnotic as the music he writes"
Posted Nov 8, 2008
 
Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008)79%
/
 
" You will get exactly what you are expecting. More or less, in any event. More in the case of the film's heart; less in the case of the last reel, when the storyline and execution dissolves into buckets of schmaltz."
Posted Nov 5, 2008
 
Nights in Rodanthe (2008)30%
/
 
" A gutsy performance by Carly Schroeder is the high point of this likeable story about a girl with a dream"
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Gracie (2007)59%
/
 
" An unexpected twist elevates this well constructed supernatural thriller whose chilling concepts and vivid imagery make it a scary experience."
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Mirrors (2008)14%
/
 
" Overtly political and unashamedly biased, McQueen's devastating film is shocking, disturbing and painful to watch. It is also an extremely powerful piece of cinema"
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Hunger (2008)92%
/
 
" Lelouch surprises us at every turn and we never know where the story is going to take us."
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Roman de Gare (2008)86%
/
 
" Traitor or Patriot? Terrorist or hero? The answer is subjective and what I like about this complex drama is that we become party to both sides."
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Traitor (2008)56%
/
 
" It might be formulaic and predictable, but there's plenty of appeal in this energy-filled film about reaching for your dreams. Set in the world of dance, the story is as much about passion as it is about ballet and hip hop."
Posted Oct 28, 2008
 
Center Stage: Turn It Up (2008)n/a
/
 
" It's all pretty senseless and senseless is how I felt at the end of it all, after being party to a sadistic and deadly race that relies on the killing of its participants for its entertainment."
Posted Oct 27, 2008
 
Death Race (2008)42%
/
 
" For the teenage girl target market, there is no question the film delivers as it alternates between onstage performances and backstage insights"
Posted Oct 25, 2008
 
Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008)72%
/
 
" Impressive for the mood it creates, the film may not totally satisfy, but the characters are richly depicted and reflect the snowy winter chill that surrounds them"
Posted Oct 25, 2008
 
Snow Angels (2008)67%
/
 
" There's something special about this first English film version of George Bernard Shaw's play, before it became a musical"
Posted Oct 25, 2008
 
Pygmalion (1938)94%
/
 
" This rousing and involving documentary explores different facets of the marathon and why some find it easy to get hooked. It is clear that the marathon is much more than an interest. It is a passion, an obsession and a way of life .."
Posted Oct 25, 2008
 
Spirit of the Marathon (2008)88%
/
 
" More quirky than funny, this perverse satire chomps into a sandwich filled with issues like sex and belonging. Pushing the envelope every which way, this adaptation of Chuck Palhniuk's fourth novel is out to shock, confront and offend, which it does,"
Posted Oct 25, 2008
 
Choke (2008)55%
/
 
" It's a powerful film that is often as unexpected as life itself."
Posted Oct 20, 2008
 
Men's Group (2008)83%
/
 
" A juicy exploration of women's roles in the 21st century -- at work, at home and in the bedroom and although men figure in the storyline (natch), it is women-only who grace the screen. Three generations of them."
Posted Oct 20, 2008
 
The Women (2008)13%
/
 
" I couldn't stop watching this riveting documentary about a man so obsessed by celebrity that he became one. But the story doesn't end there. Wealth, fame, power and love nose-dive on life's slippery dip."
Posted Oct 20, 2008
 
Celebrity: Dominick Dunne (2008)86%
/
 
" An impressive debut by director Mark Forstmann, who collaborates with screenwriter Stephen Davis to bring us a tense and involving adventure in which the psychological ramifications play the biggest part."
Posted Oct 20, 2008
 
Monkey Puzzle (2008)n/a
/
 
" A classic and beautiful film for those who love romantic stories"
Posted Oct 18, 2008
 
All That Heaven Allows (1955)93%
/
 
" Like its humour, the film's charms also sneak up on us, and as we take this unlikely, hiccup-filled journey with Sidney, he surprisingly goes from obnoxious to endearing and we are cheering him on from the sidelines"
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)38%
/
 
" This male version of The Devil Wears Prada comes off second best in the comparison, but is nevertheless an entertaining jest about a young Brit who is not only a fish out of water but totally out of the fishtank"
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)38%
/
 
" This revisiting of Evelyn Waugh's novel is successful in part in that it firmly envelops both its characters and us into a cloud of Catholic claustrophobia. But Julian Jarrold's film is so plodding and overlong, that by the time it reaches its resolution,"
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
Brideshead Revisited (2008)64%
/
 
" I loved every minute of this instantly involving film in which our hearts smile, weep and turn corners just like the train that carries its passengers to its mystery destination."
Posted Oct 15, 2008
 
The View From Greenhaven (2008)71%
/
 
" Grabs us by the scruff of our neck and takes us deep into a murky world full of scallywags, tough guys and seriously crazed crims who bumble, tumble and shoot their way through hell and high water."
Posted Oct 13, 2008
 
Crooked Business (2008)n/a
/
 
" Man on Wire is a film with everything: truth, drama, suspense, tension, sex, heartbreak, humour, crime and triumph"
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Man On Wire (2008)100%
/
 
" It will make you feel wonderful, and if you're like me, whose emotional barometer responds in the positive with tears, take plenty of tissues."
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Young@Heart (2008)88%
/
 
" A love triangle with a different slant, 3 is a Crowd has plenty to recommend it with its original screenplay and irresistible leading lady."
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Je Reste! (2003)n/a
/
 
" A dizzyingly enjoyable turn by the Coen Brothers that toys with espionage, adultery, blackmail and murder with a darkly comic edge, Burn Without Reading is a compelling combo of political thriller and sex farce."
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)79%
/
 
" There are guns blazing, mysterious winged creatures, a symbolic tattoo, an elusive blue elixir, an unresolved murder and big stunts, yet Max Payne is surprisingly lacklustre."
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
Max Payne (2008)18%
/
 
" It's coarse and funny, but there's something really endearing about this twisted romantic comedy in which the protagonist excels at being a self-proclaimed emotional terrorist"
Posted Oct 4, 2008
 
My Best Friend's Girl (2008)16%
/
 
" Lies and consequences form the heart of this bold, hard-hitting drama in which people are used as commodities, while Big Brother keeps a watchful eye -- both DiCaprio and Crowe inhabit their characters totally"
Posted Oct 4, 2008
 
Body of Lies (2008)51%
/
 
" Extravagant, exhilarating, devastating, poetic, romantic and totally unforgettable, Titanic is an extraordinary achievement in film making, where technology astounds, yet the human story shines even brighter"
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Titanic (1997)82%
/
 
" Listen to the rhythm of your heart in Strictly Ballroom, where tears and laughter blend seamlessly in an extravagantly theatrical story about love, dreams and overcoming your fears."
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Strictly Ballroom (1992)94%
/
 
" Much of the joy of Eric Guirado's beautifully judged film lies in the way he allows us to become part of the characters' lives"
Posted Sep 28, 2008
 
The Grocer's Son (2008)89%
/
 
" It seems Princess Diana was not the only royal whose marriage comprised three people. This cinematic and emotionally potent drama set in the 18th century and based on a true story, looks at a menage a trois that is filled with compelling elements"
Posted Sep 28, 2008
 
The Duchess (2008)61%
/
 
" It's cute alright, with wild ideas, funny lines and a central premise that reinforces loyalty and being true to yourself. Beyond the obvious frivolity"
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)41%
/
 
" Strictly for blondes who like pink, this ultra girlie chick flick meets the criteria for its target audience with likeable characters searching for acceptance as they are. If you take the film on its own level, it is a lot of fun, and teenage girls"
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
The House Bunny (2008)40%
/
 
" Giant fossilised mushrooms, flying fish with massive teeth, glowing bluebirds, a rollercoaster ride on an underground mine railway and magnetic floating rocks are some of the ingredients of this 3D adventure take on Jules Verne's classic sci-fi novel . ."
Posted Sep 18, 2008
 
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)61%
/
 
" A potent drama that tackles the subject of grief and turns it into a miracle of a film."
Posted Sep 15, 2008
 
Suddenly (2008)n/a
/
 
" Painful to watch, this Will Ferrell vehicle is crude, infantile and unfunny as it hovers around its one-tone premise in which two grown men behave like kids %u2013 and vile ones at that"
Posted Sep 15, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)54%
/
 
" A film fuelled by emotions, this impressive debut by Christopher Weeks canvasses the heartfelt, tender, angry, frustrated and confused feelings of a family reeling by the impact of loss."
Posted Sep 13, 2008
 
Bitter & Twisted (2008)67%
/
 
" This vibrant and intricate look at the lives of five women in Beirut is tantalisingly sweet as the title suggests. There are themes within the themes and the various stories intersect with compelling fluidity"
Posted Sep 13, 2008
 
Caramel (2008)92%
