Harry Brown

What could have been a good social commentary about what’s wrong with ‘Broken Britain’, Harry Brown comes across as too shallow and Right Wing for most modern tastes. Michael Caine is the film’s saviour with a stand out performance.

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.

M

This sophisticated thriller is certainly deserving of its title as the pre-cursor to Film Noir

Duplicity

More character-driven spy romantic comedy than espionage movie, this film harkens back to the classic days of the “star” film, and for the witty back and forth alone, this is better than you may have heard.

Whiteout

Whiteout could’ve been a taut, suspenseful crime thriller, but instead, it’s a lot of bad dialogue and dull mystery that leads up to a lackluster climax — but the snow is pretty.

Wanted

Better than I expected, and better than it seems at first, give Wanted a chance and you’ll find a great looking, somewhat entertaining action film with possibilities.

Halloween

Zombie has shown he knows how to do his own horror right, but he should have left the classic alone; the movie ultimately fails due to the fact that it tries to justify Michael Myers by making him nothing more than a sad little boy who grew up bad.

Saw III

Better than its predecessor, Saw III still doesn’t capture the dread of the original, but it comes close.

X-Files: I Want To Believe

Chris Carter should’ve known better, and yet, here it is, a movie from the man who created a classic TV show that is not even as good as the worst of its episodes.

Eagle Eye

One of the best action movies I’ve seen in a while, Eagle Eye offers all you want—great effects, solid story, and a healthy dose of paranoia.
