Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is rather disappointing on a number of levels and because of this I have given it 3 stars.
This is the latest release from Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Mimic, Hellboy) and as such there was quite a lot of anticipation. However, it doesn’t live up to the previous offerings. It just doesn’t seem to…more

Oh dear. This is definitely not one of the better films I have seen, so I have given it 2 stars.
A lonely place to die is a British film, directed by Julian Gilbey (Rise of the Foot Soldier) and this fact is a bit embarrassing really. Upon reading the synopsis we were rather excited and looking forward to watching the…more

This is the latest offering from Studio Ghibli (Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away) and it is every bit as impressive as all of their previous films. Arrietty is the directorial debut of Hiromasa Yonebayashi (Studio Ghibli’s star animator) and was originally released in Japanese under…more

One Life is an excellent documentary and I have given it 4 stars.
This is a production from BBC Earth Films and explores the world of animals, covering topics including mothers and their young, finding food and mating rituals.
Groundbreaking cinematography makes for a spectacular display and some quite astonishing views of creatures which haven’t really been seen before. All of the…more

Charade is an excellent film, a real classic and I have given this release 5 stars.
Charade was first released in 1963 and at the time was described as being the greatest film that Alfred Hitchcock never made and having watched it you can certainly see where that came from, it very much has that feel about it. In actual…more
