Undoubtedly, a technically excellent and superbly acted tale of grief but, as a movie to sit down and enjoy, it’s probably more depressing than sitting in your garage, crying tears of mascara whilst the air around you fills up with petrol fumes and the warblings of a Celine Dion powerballad.
If you can get past the Marmite casting of Seth Rogen as Paul the alien you will find this comedy likeable and consistently funny if not a little dumbed down.
The Coen Brothers surpass the original thanks to their trademark humour, gorgeous cinematography and a host of excellent performances.
Adam Sandler + Jennifer Aniston = The square root of awful.
Schlesinger’s classic Seventies tale of the American Dream gone wrong, starring a very young John Voight and a very small Dustin Hoffman. Most definitely not a Western.
It’s got gritty realism, iconic lines and Robert De Niro at his very best. If you haven’t seen this yet, I’m very disappointed in you. Tssk.
A real knockout. A cut above the rest. Punching above it’s weight. Has a fighting chance at the Oscars. In summary, it’s pretty good.
A typical Jason Statham vehicle that delivers on action, plot and, most importantly, entertainment. Not a classic but a decent watch nonetheless.
A quality character driven exploration of class and race divisions in a Parisian ‘ghetto’ with three excellent lead performances and an interesting story. Undoubtedly, the best thing to come out of France since Emmanuelle.
Ballet but not as you know it, this cross between The Wrestler and Showgirls falls just short of greatness.
