The Cold Light of Day

It’s got all the right ingedients for a successful thriller but unfortunately all the ingredients have came from a compost heap frequented by two girls with a cup.

Wrath of the Titans

Different Director, more of the same. Wrath of the Titans is boring confusing and unspectacular and hopefully signals the end for this failed franchise.

Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale

It may be a little overlong, but Wei and Woo introduce a fascinating story from history with plenty of stylish action and objectivity.

Play

A subtle look at the psychological nuances of teenage bullies in Sweden. Fascinating watching.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is a well-worn concept done fairly well but it’s a bit confused by who it’s target audience is. Basically this sanitised Battle Royale is like Twilight, if everyone decided to kill each other.

As If I Am Not There

A harrowing tale from the human side of the Bosnian War in the Nineties that is well-acted and excellently-directed. Moving, haunting, disturbing but also a must see.

Up There

An original comedy gem about the afterlife that’s both darkly sarcastic and moving. As close to real British humour as you can get.

Easy Rider

The original road trip movie has excellent cinematography, a thumping sountrack and three great characters. Good film if you weren’t there, awesome film if you were.

21 Jump Street

Don’t be put off by the awful trailers, a shocking concept and Channing Tatum in a comedy role, 21 Jump Street is great fun with lots of great jokes and excellent performances.

Mad Max

Plenty of stunts, memorable scenes and pre-alcohol-Brit-bashing Mel Gibson makes this revenge thriller a winner. A little dated when seen today but George Miller has to get credit for getting there first and on a small budget too.
