Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

A likeable, old fashioned blockbuster that puts the Mission: Impossible franchise and Tom Cruise back on track. Not a classic but a fun watch nonetheless.

Lawrence of Arabia

David Lean’s based-on-a-true-story epic oozes star power and quality on a scale rarely seen before or since.

We Need to Talk About Kevin

A clever, touching and, at times, irreverently funny tale of a mother and a psychopathic son told with huge amounts of subtlety and depth.

New Year's Eve

The out-of-touch Garry Marshall butchers another special occasion with this unfunny, over-filled romantic comedy that tries to make us think that people still care about Jon Bon Jovi.

Puss in Boots

A surprisingly decent, if not consistently funny, spin off from the Shrek series. Definitely better than expected, mostly thanks to a short and sweet runtime and great voiceover cast. Probably a success because Mike Myers is nowhere near it.

Eastern Promises

The Cronenberg-Mortensen partnership gels to great effect in this intelligent tale of the Russian Mafia and sex trafficking in the UK. Better than A History of Violence, I’d say.

Hunger

Fassbender is excellent and this real life story is adapted with maturity and intelligence by Steve McQueen. An excellent debut feature about a difficult time in British and Irish history.

Immortals

A perfectly watchable swords and sandals gorefest. Nothing more.

Seven Samurai

Arguably Akira Kurosawa’s best work has it all – epic action, a simple, measured plot and one cool hero. Anyone who calls himself a man will want to be a Samurai after watching this.

I Don't Know How She Does It

I don’t know how she [insert derogatory comment here].
