  4. 2.0 out of five for Case39

  7. 4.5 out of five for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

    Story gets re-jiggled to fit the film, but it's amazing to look at and great, nerdy, fun. I <3 SP. reviewed on Aug 26th from Frances (1529540567)

  8. 3.0 out of five for After.life

    Pretty interesting movie. Plenty of moments where I was not sure which way the movie was going. Worth a rent. reviewed on Aug 26th from Lyle (22143481567)

  9. 4.0 out of five for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

    What a great video game/comedy/comic book movie. It's just pure entertainment with some romance. See it! reviewed on Aug 26th from Lyle (22143110010)

  10. 4.0 out of five for Mother

    Korean films are never cheery. This one isn't either. It's got a good sense of humour though, even if it is dark. reviewed on Aug 23rd from Frances (1517688673)

  11. 4.3 out of five for The Illusionist

    Sad little story. Brilliant animation. Plenty to love. reviewed on Aug 23rd from Frances (1517686344)

  12. 3.5 out of five for Saint John Of Las Vegas

    Great acting and a good story. Left wanting something a little more profound. Still good though. reviewed on Aug 22nd from Mike Stenhouse (1513724277)

  13. 3.0 out of five for I'm Not There

    Interesting take on Bob Dylan. I guess I'm not as much of a fan that I thought I was. It bored me a lot. Great music. reviewed on Aug 20th from Lyle (21639689634)

  14. 4.0 out of five for Kick Ass

    This is a highly entertaining, very grown up comic book movie. Yes its funny, but the action doesn't fall because of it. reviewed on Aug 20th from Lyle (21639644839)

  15. 4.0 out of five for Taken

    very good but anticlimatic ending. reviewed on Aug 16th from Jessica B. (21279274287)

    Darkly funny British black-comedy. Very enjoyable. reviewed on Aug 10th from Frances (1465198329)

  17. 5.0 out of five for Inception

    I really enjoyed this movie. I think it's one of the most unique movies of the summer. You should see this and not wait. reviewed on Aug 6th from Lyle (20447309694)

  18. 4.0 out of five for Karate Kid

    If you can get over the ridiculous title it's actually great fun! A bona fide family movie. Biggest surprise of the year? reviewed on Aug 4th from Mike Stenhouse (20339260233)

    Last shot: absolutely brilliant. reviewed on Aug 4th from Remy Sharp (20299184112)

  20. 3.5 out of five for Splice

    Pretty decent. Great special effects and quite compelling. Not 100% sure I loved the ending. reviewed on Jul 27th from Frances (1408404588)
