From Paris With Love

From Paris with Love is perfect popcorn fodder - dumb, diverting and surprisingly not dreadful.

Everybody's Fine

This cheesy remake of Stanno Tutti Bene makes Tornatore's soppy original look like The Godfather

The Crazies

Nowt special but The Crazies gives you good scares for your money. And a lot of Timothy Olyphant. He's good for your money too

Capitalism: A Love Story

A rousing call to arms, Capitalism: A Love Story shows Moore is still as polemic & provocative as ever

Solomon Kane

Solomon Kane is small in scale but large in ambition; what it lacks in originality it makes up for with bucket-loads of blood.

The Lovely Bones

With its syrupy score and saccharine script, The Lovely Bones is horribly bloated. It's like having a fat kid sit on your face for two and a half hours.

Crazy Heart

With a stellar, sincere starring role, Crazy Heart is a gentle and moving piece. Proof once and for all that Jeff Bridges makes anything brilliant. Even Country and Western music.

A Single Man

A Single Man matches its polished surface with a sorrowful and deep undercurrent. Simply gorgeous cinema.

Oscar Nominations

No Moon, no Road, no (500) Days of Summer. But we do have The Blind Side up for Best Picture. I blame Sandra Bullock. For everything.

Ponyo

Miyazaki is a wizard, and he uses the old magics – imagination, wonder and joy.

The Princess and the Frog

With fun music and an engaging cast, The Princess and the Frog regains Disney's soul after it was sold for CG farm animals & a shiny Mac

Well, as the New Year approaches, it's hard not to look back on the past 10 years and come up with a generic blog post about it all. This was, after all, the era when 3-D returned from its immersive grave, a time when Heath Ledger passed away, when Gollum impressions became cool (and then really, really annoying).


How can such a period be summed up in cinema? The 80s had Dirty Dancing, the 90s Pulp Fiction, but with Patrick Swayze dead and Tarantino past his heyday, who do we turn to as our noughties icon? Judd Apatow? I hope not. McG? Hell no. Let's just go for the traditional run-down of the 10 defining films of the decade instead - the most significant releases, mind you, not the best of the best of the best. After all, there was a lot of crap that defined this decade too. It's only fair for that to get a look in as well...
