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.
Drama
As If I Am Not There
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.
Up There
An original comedy gem about the afterlife that’s both darkly sarcastic and moving. As close to real British humour as you can get.
Easy Rider
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.
The Woman in Black
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.
Once
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.
