Repo Chick movie review
(Wed 12/01)
Billed as a 'nonsequel' to the director's 1984 classic Repo Man - in case anyone gets the wrong idea and more about that later.
The Next Three Days film review
(Fri 07/01)
The second big release right now to focus on the incarceration of innocents and the suggestion of a flawed US criminal justice system where only the extreme defiant determination of family ties frees them
How Do You Know movie review
(Wed 05/01)
This is one of those romantic comedies when you know within the first five minutes how it's going to end
Country Strong movie review
(Wed 05/01)
Country Strong is less show than tell, artificial in the extreme, this make-believe musical can best be described as a, well, bad hear day
Meet the Parents: Little Fockers movie review
(Mon 03/01)
I can't remember much about the first two Focker films, which isn't a particularly good sign, but I know for sure I will never forget the third, and not because I was entertained
Blue Valentine movie review
(Tue 28/12)
A sort of male version of a chick flick, Blue Valentine relishes gender role reversal in love, pitting Michelle Williams' fickle compulsive sexual appetite against Ryan Gosling's sentimental, goofy puppy dog infatuation
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work review
(Tue 21/12)
At the grand old age of 75, Joan Rivers is still working her ass off, still knocking them dead with her stand-up, and still utterly convinced that she has never truly succeeded at anything.
Burlesque movie review
(Fri 17/12)
If you're thinking pasties and poles when mulling about the movie Burlesque and issues around truth in advertising, forget about it
Little Fockers film review
(Fri 17/12)
This latest addition to the series is juvenile, hackneyed, with over strained humour and all other comedies can now be judged with a simple 'Was it as bad as Little Fockers?'
Biutiful movie review
(Wed 15/12)
This is a Spanish drama that has no idea what it's about and, when you don't know what you want to say, it's usually better to make it snappy and get the hell out.
Coen Brothers True Grit movie review
(Wed 15/12)
True Grit 2010 has the exact same storyline and characters as the original True Grit released in 1969, which was an adaptation of the novel of the same name.
Casino Jack film review
(Mon 13/12)
Where is Wikileaks when you need them? Notorious convicted US lobbyist Jack Abramoff was just released from custody on December 4th, yet not a peep from the corporate media.
Little Rose movie review
(Sun 12/12)
This is a true story about divided loyalties, misguided love and the betrayed becoming the betrayer. It's all played out against a backdrop of escalating political unrest in communist Poland in the 1960s and makes for co
The Tourist film review
(Sat 11/12)
Enter Angelina Jolie as a sly, elusive double or even possibly triple agent in The Tourist, locking horns when not lips with infatuated nerd Johnny Depp and the indignant critical fix is in.
Barney's Version movie review
(Mon 06/12)
Recording events in someone's life as they happen, year after year, is always going to be a plod unless, of course, the subject is so scintillating that each moment can be savored simply for what it is.
