Ballet but not as you know it, this cross between The Wrestler and Showgirls falls just short of greatness.
Drama
Sunshine
Looks and sounds fabulous but gets a little bit silly in the end.
127 Hours
With spectacular cinematography, an awesome soundtrack and a superb performance by James Franco, Danny Boyle gives us an inspiring, life-affirming movie from the most unlikely of stories.
The King's Speech
A…A…An excellent take on one member of the royal family’s attempts to overcome a debilitating speech impediment. Far more interesting than it sounds.
American Psycho
Controversy, biting satire and shocking violence all sit comfortably together to leave the money-obsessed American Dream of the Eighties in tatters. American Psycho is also the film that catapulted Christian Bale into the A-list from where he’s never looked back.
The Way Back
Epic storytelling at its best, Jim Weir, ably supported by at least half a dozen excellent performances, has done an inspiring tale justice.
