This easily accessible film about a dark period in Romania’s history is interspersed with warm humour, drama and food-for-thought throughout.
Comedy
A Serious Man
A Serious Man tackles some big questions but this occasionally funny dark comedy is a little too clever for it’s own good and is just not engrossing enough to grip the casual viewer.
The Men Who Stare at Goats
This fast-paced, witty and smart blend of the Star and Iraq wars is one of the best military satires to date.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
An interesting story that doesn’t really deliver on its potential, this one may get in on the big vampire train making its way through pop culture, but its inability to find itself is disappointing.
Fame
There’s just no reason to recommend this plot-free, bland, choppy musical that may one day be the most embarrassing listing on some of its cast’s resumes.
The Informant!
Often funny and always well-acted, it’s sometimes a bit inconsistent, but still proof that Matt Damon can handle just about anything.
