Jarhead

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.

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.

The Elephant Man

A remarkable true story brought to life in the most original and fascinating way by David Lynch.

He's Just Not That Into You

Easy to watch and shamefully enjoyable but no matter how much it tries to seem groundbreaking, it’s really not.

Nosferatu the Vampyre

Possibly the best adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Excellent performances, a haunting atmosphere and a unique take on the famous novel from Werner Herzog is just enough to give it the edge.

Abduction

Twilight heart-throb Taylor Lautner’s breakout role is poorly acted and directed and it’s likely to be showing on the Disney channel pretty soon.
