It starts off fantastically – but then, a bit like Santa himself, it all goes pear-shaped.

The Polar Express

December 5, 2004 – 12:00 am

Eye-popping, exciting, and just a little bit creepy, this has to be the best Chrimbo flick of 2004.

The Dreamers

December 2, 2004 – 12:00 am

Two hours of self-important piffle about film buffs in the bare buff. It’s desperate to be controversial, but it’s not.

The Big Bounce

November 30, 2004 – 12:00 am

Fun in the sun. Just a pity it’s for the actors, and not for us.

November 30, 2004 – 12:00 am

A success of giant proportions. Everyone should make a point of seeing this movie.

Hog-standard family flick.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

November 25, 2004 – 12:00 am

Dark, creepy, and also a bit camp and silly – it’s the ultimate Hollywood catfight.

If the storyline was half as good as the animation, this would be one of the greatest films ever made.
