Midnight in Paris

A unique romance from Woody Allen that’s fairly entertaining but slightly muted. If only he didn’t make it look so much like he wants to have sexual relations with the city of Paris.

Blood Diamond

An African adventure with a heart and a questionable accent. Definitely, more fun and less depressing than watching an informercial, bru.

Drive

An above average B-Movie with an Eighties feel that’s driven by good Direction from Nicolas Winding Refn.

Apollo 18

Oh my God, is this real??? No, it’s not. And it’s not very good either.

Don't be Afraid of the Dark

I’m afraid you probably won’t be afraid of Don’t be Afraid of the Dark, A very middle of the road horror film that’s not great but okay for a bit of mindless entertainment.

The Town

Ben Affleck’s latest image enhancing effort is like a superhero movie with a cop-killing bank robber as the guy to root for. Uneven characterisation and cringeworthy cliches let this otherwise fairly gripping heist thriller down.

A History of Violence

Certainly engaging, intelligent and compelling at times but not quite good, consistent or believable enough for the wealth of praise heaped upon it.

Eden Lake

If you go down to the woods today… you might get tortured and set on fire by teenagers.

Fitzcarraldo

A glorious tale of what you can do with you put your mind (and a few hundred slaves) to a task that includes the South American jungle, an opera obsessed nut and an inconsiderately placed mountain.

Zombieland

A fresh and witty zomcom with lots of laughs and great characters that just doesn’t have quite enough to fill the whole film.
