What a delightfully bizarre film this is. Praise is definitely worthy of it’s title and I have given it 4 stars. This is an Australian production, directed by John Curran (Stone, The Painted Veil) this was his directorial début, and is very intelligently put together.
The subject material upon which this film is based seems at first glance unlikely to be…more

There was very little that I found entertaining about this film, which is why I have only given it 2 stars. Although the film is critically acclaimed, being shown at both Sundance and Cannes in 2010, there doesn’t really seem to be anything here for people who simply want to sit down and enjoy a good film.
The film is well…more

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.

Don’t take the awarding of the star to mean…more

The 80s’ cult classic supernatural action-adventure arrives on DVD! I have given this film 3 stars, maybe a little low, but it does look slightly dated.
For those among you who are too young, or simply missed this the first time around, this film was first released in 1989, and stars Julian Sands (Naked Lunch) and Richard E. Grant (Withnail and…more

I have awarded this film 2 stars. This is a Wes Craven film, and that does become obvious pretty quickly. It has all the hallmarks of his recent work (Scream, mostly) and feels more than anything like a long lost member of the Scream franchise.
Although this is an 18 certificate it seems to be more of a psychological thriller than…more
