In the Loop

A political comedy for the masses that’s funny, clever and pitched just right. Definitely don’t watch if you’re offended by harsh language but, In the words of Malcolm Tucker, Christ on a bendy-bus. Don’t be such a f****** faff arse.

360

Watchable but not good. 360 is a very unconvincing story of love and relationships strung together by a very forced concept.

Horrible Bosses

A genuinely funny movie with some great comic performances from, dare I say it, the likes of Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston.

Ted

Both novel and worn this comedy from the Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane is just too predictable and unfunny.

Raging Bull

Scorsese and De Niro at their best together in this rousing and depressing boxing biopic. A masterpiece.

The Dark Knight Rises

Certainly a great action spectacle but this time it’s a slightly flawed cinematic event from Christopher Nolan.

Iron Sky

Timo Vuorensola should be shot for wasting the amazing premise of Nazis on the Moon. Too much cheesy humour ruins a film that should have been played a lot straighter.

Apocalypto

Depending on your viewpoint, it’s either pretentiousy over-the-top or a great story mixed with impressively authentic detail. (The answer is ‘b’.)

Piranha 3DD

If you’re a fan of so-bad-it’s-good then this will be right up your street. It’s enjoyable naffness that’s to be taken with an ocean’s worth of salt.

Escape To Victory

So bad it’s good. Unless you don’t like war films, Sly Stallone or football. In which case, what is wrong with you?
