A quality hardbitten crime drama that prevails thanks to an admirable depth and an out-of-the-ordinary context.

Thriller
The Book of Eli
A post-Apocalytpic Western that’s just not as good as many others out there.
Daybreakers
The attention to detail and relative originality of Daybreakers threatens to lift it above the usual Vampire fare but it’s let down in the end by poor storytelling and an unrelenting grimness.
Sherlock Holmes
Guy Ritchie does a decent job at reinventing Sherlock Holmes as a modern action hero with the help of excellent performances from Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.
Avatar
James Cameron uses the full capabilities of CGI to create a truly beautiful film that is sure to be one of the Noughties’ most definitive movies.
The Descent: Part 2
A pointless sequel with predictable shocks that doesn’t deliver anything new.
