Biutiful is a bowl of broth that has been blitzed until it is difficult to wade through. Uxbal (Javier Bardem, No Country For Old Men, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) is the only thing that makes your way through his life as a small time crook, worth while; he’s into drugs, knock-off’s and human trafficking; never mind the trouble he has with…more

This film is a delight to watch and I have given it 4 stars. Arthur is the latest offering from Luc Besson (Fifth Element, Leon) and is typically creative, with a well thought out and engrossing storyline.

Although this is an 18 certificate it seems to be more of a psychological thriller than…more

Well folks, no prizes for guessing what this one’s about then. I am giving this film 3 stars, because in spite of what I am going to say about it, there is no denying that it was thoroughly enjoyable and I haven’t laughed that much in ages.
And therein may well lie the problem, because I am 99% sure that this…more

This film is actually better than I expected it to be. I have given it 3 stars, not because I think it is ever going to be a classic, but because it does what it says on the tin.
The film is based on the best selling book written by Jeff Kinney and tells the story of a young boy going…more
