Reviews 1 to 20 of 986

  1. 4.2 out of five for Inglorious Basterds

    Western-style war caper. Brutal but compelling, with plenty of twists. Tarantino's definitely got a swagger to him. reviewed on Mar 8th from Mike Stenhouse (906732550)
  2. 2.8 out of five for Daybreakers

    Good idea and stylish but it just wasn't very engaging with mediocre performances from good actors and an incomplete plot. reviewed on Mar 7th from Mike Stenhouse (903951491)
  3. 2.9 out of five for The Crazies

    Great concept but a bit all over the place. Didn't really meet up to the trailer-lead expectations. reviewed on Feb 28th from Frances (881501285)
  4. 4.5 out of five for Let The Right One In

    great vampire film part horror part love story... now need to read the book which sounds great reviewed on Feb 22nd from Kaz Patwa (9493759921)
  5. 3.0 out of five for 25th Hour

    not bad Spike Lee film about a drug dealer's last night before heading to jail - but did he do a runner? reviewed on Feb 22nd from Kaz Patwa (9493725431)
  6. 4.5 out of five for Crazy Heart

    Jeff Bridges is great, but then he normally is. Oscar nomination deserved, great film to watch on a cold day. reviewed on Feb 19th from thegirlinthecafe (9354201188)
  7. 2.0 out of five for The Wolfman

    Predictable run-of-the-mill action horror. Daft OTT attack scenes and silly looking werewolves. reviewed on Feb 17th from Frances (837043884)
  8. 2.9 out of five for A Single Man

    Some pretty scenes, but mostly dull and uneventful. Actors all great, regardless. reviewed on Feb 17th from Frances (837039020)
  9. 3.7 out of five for The Brothers Bloom

    it was ok, not quite as funny as i'd hoped. still a good plot and great cast reviewed on Feb 17th from Jessica B. (9212293687)
  10. 4.5 out of five for A Single Man

    Best film I've seen in a while. Colin Firth is mesmerising and brilliant. Leaves you numb in your seat. Brilliant. reviewed on Feb 15th from thegirlinthecafe (9137628501)
  11. 3.0 out of five for Youth In Revolt

    Michael Cera plays, well, Michael Cera like only he can. But nothing really new here. reviewed on Feb 15th from thegirlinthecafe (9137569299)
  12. 3.0 out of five for Invictus

    Watchable but it was all a bit too much happy go Hollywood. reviewed on Feb 15th from thegirlinthecafe (9137548149)
  13. 3.0 out of five for Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

    This movie was entertaining but very predictable. Good family movie. Rent it. reviewed on Feb 15th from Lyle (9128331151)
  14. 4.0 out of five for American Hardcore

    This movie has a much better focus than other punk docs I've seen. Great if you want to know about hardcore. Rent! reviewed on Feb 15th from Lyle (9128232366)
  15. 3.0 out of five for Event Horizon

    not quite as good as I remembered but pretty gripping... also with Fishbourne, the cool man's Denzel reviewed on Feb 15th from Kaz Patwa (9117809111)
  16. 4.4 out of five for The Constant Gardener

    John Le Carre story directed by Fernando Meirelles. Classy political thriller. Well worth watching. reviewed on Feb 13th from Mike Stenhouse (9074327156)
  17. 4.4 out of five for Pandorum

    Tense, clever and psychotic sci-fi thriller. Dark and entertaining in an Alien-kind-of-way. Could easily watch it again. reviewed on Feb 8th from Mike Stenhouse (805262575)
  18. 3.5 out of five for The Goods

    Jeremy Piven is great and the film has enough good moments to be fun. reviewed on Feb 7th from Mike Stenhouse (8782086291)
  19. 4.0 out of five for In The Loop

    very well done comedy about 'spin doctors' and the political machine heading to war reviewed on Feb 2nd from Kaz Patwa (8537587629)
  20. 3.8 out of five for Avatar

    Epic and breathtaking. A bit predictable though. Could be the new Star Wars for the young 'uns? reviewed on Feb 1st from Mike Stenhouse (8472705020)
