Definitely not for everyone, and not up to the greatness of Donnie Darko, this latest effort from writer/director Richard Kelly is still interesting, thought-provoking, and not like anything else out there at the moment.
Drama
A Christmas Carol
Dark, scary, and fantastic visually, this revamp of the quintessential Christmas story sticks close to its source and delivers the intended allegory on the inevitable cost of greed.
2012
The end can’t come soon enough with this overlong and overhyped disaster epic that all been done before – just far better.
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.
Tales of the Golden Age
This easily accessible film about a dark period in Romania’s history is interspersed with warm humour, drama and food-for-thought throughout.
The Lives of Others
The Lives of Others takes a serious look at the suspicion and claustrophobia of the old East Germany with admirable authenticity and humanity.
