A fresh and witty zomcom with lots of laughs and great characters that just doesn’t have quite enough to fill the whole film.
Action
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
This prequel is much better than the awful title suggests as it exudes an enjoyably throwaway quality. A good way to spend the inevitably rainy summer days.
Marathon Man
One of the best thrillers and finest Dustin Hoffman films out there. But… is it safe?
Captain America: The First Avenger
This fairly uninteresting and unoriginal superhero is saved somewhat by a few decent characters and acting turns.
Once Upon a Time in the West
One of the finest Westerns you will ever see, Once Upon a Time in the West offers up great characterisation, masterful storytelling and atmospheric cinematography and score.
Cloverfield
A First Class First-Person apocalypse film that nicely mixes things up and credits its audience with a bit of intelligence.
