An excellent stoner comedy with the right mix of brains, laughs and memorable characters. The Coen Brothers’ finest? It’s a close one.

Having a better cast than usual doesn’t stop this effort descending into stereotypical cockney gangster rubbish. Stay away from this, you c–t.

A refreshingly mature gangster movie from Australia. Characterisation, themes and plot dominate Animal Kingdom and leave no room for the usual childish romanticisation.

Everything comes together nicely in a final instalment of the Millennium trilogy that oozes thrills, class and memorable moments.

This engrossing movie about love and betrayal and the repurcussions in Communist-era Czechoslovakia excellently highlights how everything is not always black and white. Really gives you something to think about.

This alien invasion mini-epic is let down by unlikeable characters, boring action and a setting that just doesn’t grip you. After letting myself get taken in by the hype I’ve been left a broken shell of a man. How can I believe in anything anymore?

John Landis’ big screen comeback is a strange one. Mixing serial killing, comedy and a glut of actors not speaking in their natural accents are risks that don’t quite pay off.

This unforgivably bad romantic ‘thriller’ gives a new meaning to waking up in a warm pool of your own urine.

Freight is notable mainly for the fact that it’s only the second ever film I’ve seen set in my unremarkable home town of Leeds. After getting over this shock I was just treated to clichés, a poorly thought out storyline and dialogue and a little bit of serviceable action.

This British druglord biopic gives Howard Marks the complete luvvy-duvvy treatment and offers absolutely nothing new but Mr. Nice has an interesting enough story to entertain throughout.
