The Hunger Games is a well-worn concept done fairly well but it’s a bit confused by who it’s target audience is. Basically this sanitised Battle Royale is like Twilight, if everyone decided to kill each other.

A harrowing tale from the human side of the Bosnian War in the Nineties that is well-acted and excellently-directed. Moving, haunting, disturbing but also a must see.
An original comedy gem about the afterlife that’s both darkly sarcastic and moving. As close to real British humour as you can get.
The original road trip movie has excellent cinematography, a thumping sountrack and three great characters. Good film if you weren’t there, awesome film if you were.
This hasn’t made Daniel Radcliffe any cooler but it’s a serviceable haunted house horror that you wouldn’t stop your tweenage kids going to see.
Too much of a good thing makes Once a dull boy. Contrary to the opinion of the world, this modern musical starts off sound enough before falling into schmaltzy repetition.

Diabetes-inducing sappy drama from Spielberg that fails to capture the imagination. A real missed opportunity of a unique premise.

Very stylish and with some things to think about too, Tony Scott’s debut is one of the best, most substantial vampire movies out there. Bar the messy ending, of course.

The Artist is a talkie life-lesson with some of the best dialogue ever heard on screen. A must see for all fans of Dawson’s Creek. Honest.

A heart-wrenching and original Holocaust movie that looks at this horrific event through the innocent eyes of a child. Done with such subtlety and authenticity that it’s much more than just emotional manipulation
