Cube

If you can see past the awful dialogue, horrifically cliched characters and terrible writing, you might just be entertained enough to enjoy this cult sc-fi precursor to Saw.

The Help

The Help could be used as a psychological test to see what kind of person you are. Cynical and unwilling to be sold an overly sentimental, confused, one-dimensional tale or a warmhearted human being who can allow themselves to be charmed by a feelgood drama with an engaging story.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

If you want to see lovely attention to detail and a wonderfully grim portrayal of the Seventies then go see this. But for entertainment and an intriuiging plot you should probably stay away.

Hugo

Hugo looks exquisite and the plot is as mature and engaging as you’d expect from a Scorcese film but sometimes the cinematography is a little clichéd in its use. Good for kids, great for adults who love film.

One for the Money

For once, this below par rom-com chick flick is no reason here to crucify Katherine Heigl as she does her perky best with the flimsy material at her disposal. Not quite as fun and likeable as the makers and the fans of the books would have been hoping for.

Black Sheep

Ewe’re baaaadly mistaken if you think this sheepish effort is anything more than an average horror comedy that needs more sheep puns. There are some funny visual gags but not enough amusing dialogue to back it up.

The Descendants

The Descendants is a bittersweet tale of a family sticking together in trying times. With the perfect mix of grief, humour and charm this is the best thing to come out of Hawaii since Dog the Bounty Hunter.

The Damned United

Would have been one of the better football dramas (facing stiff competition from practically none) had it not been based on a vastly superior book. This football love-in really needs a darker edge to make it more The Wrestler than Escape to Victory.

Life, Above All

Worthwhile, worthy, haunting, harrowing – a film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.

Zulu

An old school war epic that will be sure to entertain and have you rooting for the surrounded British troops as long as you ignore the total glorification of the Empire (the British one, not the one that struck back).
