Heathers subversively tackles American establishmentarianism through the conventions of a high school hierarchy. “All we want is to be treated like human beings, not to be experimented on like guinea pigs or patronised like bunny rabbits”. The... Read the full review »

A film brimming with intimacy and cosy hearths to sit by, Greta Gerwig's Little Women is a tightly knit family drama set against beautiful Concord with Desplat's mellifluous score stroking the ears of the audience. All performances are fabulous,... Read the full review »

When a franchise’s success has been built upon a foundation of big, dumb, fun, delivering anything less creates the danger of being seen as a disappointment by fans. Such is the case with “Bad Boys for Life,” a mostly enjoyable yet ultimatel... Read the full review »

I’ve never left the cinema with such a determination to make a film. Maybe it was the caffeine rush I was experiencing, but the sentiment remains. Calling my boyfriend on the way out of the screening I said how badly I wanted this. To make a fil... Read the full review »

House of Wax melts faster than holding a candle to Paris Hilton’s face. “Oh look, it’s a wax museum!”. Yet another remake of a remake that practically lost its mould as soon as the stupid teenagers opened their mouths. Consuming the myster... Read the full review »

At the heart of Twin Peaks lies Laura Palmer. Whether in the groundbreaking first season, the troubled second season, the recent return, or this film, the high school sweetheart so full of mysteries does indeed feel like a 'golden goose' of storie... Read the full review »

The Hustle is dirty, rotten and packed full of talentless scoundrels. *sigh*...Why do I do this to myself? Stealing seems to be the theme here, and getting away with it whilst attempting to produce hilarity. So it’s incredibly ironic that this r... Read the full review »

The dead of winter is the time studios like to shove their bottom-basement junk into theaters, bringing us movies that are instantly forgettable and brimming with mediocrity. The female-driven buddy comedy “Like A Boss” is a great example. Thi... Read the full review »

The man vs. nature survival film “Arctic” isn’t just another clichéd tale of the human spirit. Instead of taking the wholly predictable route, the mostly silent film (there are only a few lines of dialogue) relies on the charisma and talent... Read the full review »

Mountain peaks with its immersive cinematic photography and glacial poetry. “Mountains were places of peril, not beauty. An upper world to be shunned, not sought out. How then have mountains now come to hold a spellbound? Drawing us into their d... Read the full review »

At surface level, this is a western movie without the Wilhelm screams and tumbleweeds, appearing more as a theatrical piece than a movie. However, as I watched True Grit, so many different meanings came to mind. Is True Grit a biblical epic, sugg... Read the full review »

“The Messenger’s Travels” Sam Mendes crafts a spectacularly unique war film unlike any other that refuses to relish in its combat and violence, but instead, tells its audience an emotionally captivating story through its depiction of the g... Read the full review »

A great film. Great photography and acting. Simone Signoret IS this film. "Formidable" describes her. This must be one of the best performances of her life. No wonder Nina Simone, after seeing this film, adopted her name. Read the full review »

A very good film. Realistic and believable. Robert Redford is excellent. Read the full review »

Isabel Thierauch is so beautiful and such a joy to look at that I found it impossible not to enjoy this film. Read the full review »

Grindhouse exploits its modern B-movie experience through a bloody expressionistic tribute. Two feature films. Four fictional trailers (five if you’re lucky...). And an authentic conceptual presentation of the 70s exploitation genre, missing ree... Read the full review »

I cannot believe I am saying this, but go watch Cats when it comes out in your cinemas. I mean, it's not a good movie, but neither is it terrible. It's just a plain-bad movie, and there are hints that it knows that (the reason I'm giving it a fres... Read the full review »

Death Proof evidently illustrates that Tarantino’s thirst for blood will never run out of fuel. The second feature of Rodriguez/Tarantino’s homage to the “Grindhouse” exploitation genre, is one that reeks of petroleum. Emphasising the rauc... Read the full review »

“The Heart of the Truth” Destin Daniel Cretton retells the remarkable true story of how defense attorney Bryan Stevenson worked to appeal an innocent man’s case who was wrongfully accused and sentenced to death for a crime he did not commi... Read the full review »
