Paul movie review - Aliens on the run in USA
(Fri 18/03)
It's not side-splittingly hilarious but there are plenty of funny lines and in a cinematic age when comedies can't find their funny bones, this is a mighty achievement.
The Eagle movie review
(Fri 18/03)
Historical dramas about 2nd Century Britain have been done to death, so unless a film has something spectacular to offer, swords and sandals should be left buried in wardrobe, undisturbed.
Battle: Los Angeles movie review
(Fri 11/03)
The Alien world of this apocalyptic world view remains hidden but the mystery doesn't add to the menace and the result is just an endless barrage of UFOs firing at Earth and marines firing back.
The Adjustment Bureau movie review
(Tue 08/03)
This romantic thriller, driven by sci-fi elements is so devoid of any real imagination that it's really just another story about bad guys chasing good guys.

The title of this film refers to Micky Ward, a small time boxer, but unfortunately he turns out to be a bit of a wuss and the real bruiser is his elder brother, Dicky.

This is a story about a thirteen year old boy who has his childhood innocence snatched from him during the Nazi occupation of Holland in World War ll.
Take Me Home Tonight movie review
(Mon 21/02)
This is a coming of age story where no one actually comes of age, but this doesn't matter at all because, unlike most comedies, it's actually funny.

Kaboom movie review
(Sat 05/02)
This is a teen movie and, while it's possible that that specific age group might find it mildly entertaining, it's really nothing more than a superficial romp with a bunch of students who imagine there's a conspiracy as
Sanctum movie review
(Wed 02/02)
This film is billed as an action thriller, but action in a claustrophobic cave is pretty limited and thrills only come when there's tension.
An Education DVD review
(Tue 01/02)
This film has a lot to say about British society in the 60s. It comments on classism, sexism and liberalism, and sends a clear message that we should never rely on anyone but ourselves. For the sake of neatness, we'll c
The Rite movie review
(Sat 29/01)
More suited to Sunday school sermonizing than supernatural cinema, The Rite is a cautionary exorcism outing into targeting doubters in the theaters along with any up on the screen.
