A First Class First-Person apocalypse film that nicely mixes things up and credits its audience with a bit of intelligence.
A fitting end to the hugely popular series sees Harry Potter re-find the magic it had recently lost in previous instalments. Unfortunately though, this landmark leaves most of the British film industry unemployed.
Super stylish and refreshingly different, Joe Wright and the young Saoirse Ronan elevate this thriller above a mere gimmick.
Balaguero and Plaza have perfected the first-person horror with this truly terrifying sleep-disturbing zombie tale from Spain.
A perfect family film with plenty of inspirational scenes, humour and moments of John Candy magic. Great for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
No surprises here as Michael Bay produces yet another soul-destroying special effects mess to render its quality cast rather redundant.
This hugely entertaining thriller excels thanks to lashings of black humour, style and action and a supporting cast hardly rivalled in terms of acting (not star quality) in recent times. Definitely to be ranked up there with its movie cousins, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
The Counterfeiters is a different kind of Holocaust movie – a more personalised tale concentrating on more of a thriller aspect without the sweeping history lesson of its vaunted Hollywood contemporaries. Nevertheless, Stefan Ruzowitzky still gives you enough open-ended moral questions to make you think and entertains along the way.
Iconic Japanese cinema nearly at it best but Ikiru just falls short of greatness because of a rambling, over-melodramatic climax. Well-worth a watch though for Watanabe’s performance, iconic scenes and interesting themes.
A haunting tale of ordinary lives and genocide in Czechoslovakia during World War Two that is well told with great acting, and excellent cinematography and a musical score that complement each other perfectly.
