The Big Year movie review
(Wed 12/10)
This is a story about bird watching, and if you think that sounds boring, you should see the film. Or rather, you shouldn’t see the film. Really, you shouldn’t.
Real Steel movie review
(Wed 05/10)
Watching the robots in this film duke it out in the ring is a total blast but, unfortunately, the futuristic boxing world where this story resides is never truly created. In its place is a lot of expensive gloss and hoo
What's Your Number? movie review
(Wed 28/09)
This uninspiring romantic comedy plods from one superficial moment to the next, telling us nothing we haven’t been told before and showing us nothing we haven’t seen. The concept is weak, the humor banal and the lea

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy film review
(Sat 17/09)
If one was trying to crack the code behind the box office gold for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, it must be the stellar casting, rather than the fading love for the 1970s TV series.

Contagion movie review
(Wed 07/09)

Review: Conan the Barbarian
(Mon 22/08)
The new Conan is 6'5" and loaded with charisma, but his talents are never explored and all he does is grunt his way along his violent path, swatting off bands of marauding warriors like flies and, of course, picking up
