Sleepover

If your kids tell you they want to see this film, lock them in their bedrooms and put an instant freeze on their pocket money. They’ll thank you for it when they’re older.

Finding John Christmas

You might find John Christmas, but you’ll instantly find yourself wondering how you can lose him again.

Decoys

Who needs a good horror movie when you can watch a trouser-wettingly funny one instead?

Control Room

How can you make a carefully-edited documentary about carefully-edited news? With great difficulty, if this attempt is anything to go by.

Being Julia

Hats off to Annette Bening for a remarkable performance in an unremarkable movie.

Club Dread

Unlike the shedding of blood and clothes, laughs are pretty scarce in this lacklustre slasher skit.

Home Alone

The film that made Little Mac Culkin an overnight star still fits the festive bill – even if only for that terrific last half-hour!

The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind! But, like the owners of that 19th Century Parisian opera house, you’ll wish he wasn’t.

Surviving Christmas

Turkey’s come early this year!

Christmas with the Kranks

Hold onto that admission money and go spend it on a pressie for a loved one. Or, at the very least, spend it on seeing a decent movie.
