Psycho - R They certainly don't make 'em like this anymore. A brilliant filick. February 8, 2012  
N/A
Back to the Future - PG Classic good fun 80s flick. February 8, 2012  
N/A
The Painted Veil - Unrated Simple but touching tale that doesn't fall for many of the usual Hollywood pitfalls. Naomi Watts is very convincing and while Ed Norton is less so, he still does okay. February 1, 2012  
N/A
Primer - PG-13 This makes Memento look straight-forward. Utterly confusing but it holds your interest, though I'm not sure I want to subject my brain to it again to attempt to understand it better. January 27, 2012  
N/A
Shattered Glass - PG-13 True story of Stephen Glass, writer at The New Republic who fabricated over half of his articles. Plays like a TV movie but it's fairly interesting. January 26, 2012  
N/A
Vicky Cristina Barcelona - PG-13 One of the better recent Woody Allen films but no way near the quality of his early work. January 26, 2012  
N/A
Friends With Benefits - R Never going to be brilliant or ground-breaking, but as far as chick-flicks go it is better than most. January 25, 2012  
N/A
The Goonies - PG Not see this since I was a kid and I expected the magic not to be there anymore, wrongamondo. Chunk and Sloth should have had their own spin-off TV show. January 19, 2012  
N/A
A Fish Called Wanda - R Hit and miss but the hits are hilarious. Kevin Kline is the best thing in it by some way. January 16, 2012  
N/A
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father - Unrated A completely harrowing, shocking and heart-wrenching story; the bare facts of this case are very difficult to accept. As a film though it is poorly edited and the tone is often wrong. January 13, 2012  
N/A
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - R On a par with the 2nd film in the trilogy but not as good as the 1st. Plot holes aplenty and somewhat lacking in thrills. December 30, 2011  
N/A
The Girl Who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden) - R The plot feels weaker that the first in the trilogy and the tension isn't quite as palpable. A decent watch but nothing more. December 30, 2011  
N/A
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - R Enjoyable sinister edge and tension to this thriller with the same sort of vibe as 'Silence Of The Lambs'. Often clunky and fairly unoriginal in parts though and the last 10-15 minutes feels very rushed. December 30, 2011  
N/A
Midnight in Paris - PG-13 It's all a bit daft but it doesn't matter as it's good fun also. Not a Woody Allen classic as the script just isn't as sharp as in his former glories, but still enjoyable. December 22, 2011  
N/A
Sunset Boulevard - Unrated What's not to like about Billy Wilder films. December 18, 2011  
N/A
Badlands - PG Not without appeal, though I'm not sure it's deserved of the high praise it usually gets. December 18, 2011  
N/A
The Magnificent Seven - R Remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, not bad but not certainly not magnificent. December 17, 2011  
N/A
Neds - Unrated Brutal and depressing, not really sure what the message is though. December 17, 2011  
N/A
Where the Wild Things Are - PG What is this flakey hipster bull-shit? The most annoying little brat ever hangs about with Tony Soprano dressed as Bungle and a load of other dysfunctional hairy goons and somehow this is a film. I don't care if it's all a metaphor and there is symbolism coming out of every orifice as it matters not if it's projected in scene after scene of boring pretentious tripe. I was praying they'd eat the little git. December 15, 2011  
N/A
Drive - R I don't really get all the fuss about this. Although the acting is okay, the plot is pretty lame and the whole thing just drags. Bit off a rip off of Michael Mann in terms of LA styling too. December 6, 2011  
N/A
The Fisher King - R I'm not a huge Terry Gilliam fan but this redemption tale is pretty intriguing, if a little heavy handed at times. December 5, 2011  
N/A
Knuckle - R The people are idiots but there is something strangely entertaining about watching these idiots beat the crap of out each other and keep petty feuds going for generations. Brutal stuff. December 5, 2011  
N/A
The Inbetweeners - Unrated Exactly what you''d expect from The Inbetweeners abroad, Kevin and Perry Go Large but a fair bit better. December 3, 2011  
N/A
Say Anything... - PG-13 Okay, but feels like a run of the mill TV movie. November 30, 2011  
N/A
The Kite Runner - PG-13 Brutal scenes that are hard to watch but it's worth sticking with it as the tale of redemption is a strong one. November 24, 2011  
N/A
