For once it’s a remake of an excellent international offering that seems worth it thanks to Scorsese doing what he does best and a wonderful ensemble cast.
Action
Battle: Los Angeles
A war film with aliens that looks good but shows a total lack of intelligence. To borrow an expression: you can’t polish a turd.
Tell No One
Ignore the title and tell everyone about this latest engrossing thriller from ze French.
Ironclad
A Medieval take on The Expendables that nearly exceeds it’s relatively modest budget. Fun for a while but gets monotonous and dreary as it crawls to a climax.
True Grit
The Coen Brothers surpass the original thanks to their trademark humour, gorgeous cinematography and a host of excellent performances.
Taxi Driver
It’s got gritty realism, iconic lines and Robert De Niro at his very best. If you haven’t seen this yet, I’m very disappointed in you. Tssk.
