An introspective and mature study of the monotony of war that’s the exact opposite of an all-action trailer that lied to too many people. It’s a different kind of war film that’s definitely worth a look.
Drama
The Boondock Saints
The ridiculous and over-the-top nature of two Irish lads living the American wet dream is both the making of and the downfall of The Boondock Saints. Definitely one for the love-it or hate-it category.
Shane
A solid likeable Western full of memorable scenes, characters and dialogue. Oh, and the most annoying child you could imagine.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
The uncanny valley effect strikes again as a largely good film is ruined by freaky animation that’s more unnerving than any horror.
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace fails to live up to the potential of Daniel Craig’s first outing and is so depressing that afterwards you may want to drown kittens for a bit of light relief.
Contagion
Intelligent, entertaining and unsentimental, Contagion is a skillfully put together apocalyptic tale that loses momentum slightly towards the end.
