Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed

Hopefully the final part of a franchise that’s gone to the dogs.

Sylvia

It’s hard to do poetic justice to the life of a literary great when you’re not allowed to use any poetry.

The Untouchables

When it’s portrayed as enjoyably as this, it’s tough to see how tax inspection ever got its bad name.

The Alamo

The Ala-slow, more like.

The Terminal

A marvellous piece of whimsy from the best mainstream actor and director of our generation. It might have a few faults, but they’re none of them terminal.

THX 1138

It’s not a great film – it’s just all white.

The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara

There’s nothing foggy about this insightful, revealing and at-times intimate portrait of a man who made war tick.

Masked and Anonymous

Thank you for the music, Mr Dylan – you should definitely stick to what you know.

Rabbit-Proof Fence

A touching tale of an appalling chapter in Australian history, told with great sensitivity if not great depth.

Lola rennt

Fun on the run.
