Intelligently titillating, Tamara Drew hides its smarts under a hedgerow of filth. Unassuming, undeniably fun.
Drew and Justin make sparks fly in this natural, likeable movie. Unlike most rom-coms this year, Going the Distance is worth making the trip to see.
The Last Exorcism blends belief, doubt and humour to produce some seriously scary cinema. Until the dubious ending.
We run amok at the premiere with Justin Long and Drew Barrymore...
Ill-conceived but entertaining, the year's second sperm donor rom-com leaves no embarrassing stains.
Mature, childish and one of the most energetic things ever put on celluloid, Scott Pilgrim speaks to its audience. It says words like: Love. Life. Nintendo. And Canada.
The Girl who Played with Fire slightly dampens expectations, but Rapace's fiery heroine stops the thriller fizzling out.
We chat to director Daniel Stamm and producer Eli Roth about religion, possession & bashing cats to death.
With kids back to school and education funding cut, what's the best way to educate your child? Cinema.
With its ballsy female hero and well-paced hokum, Salt is a high-octane burst of pure nonsense. Sequel please.
With The Human Centipede in cinemas, our own Dr Pearson asks if Hollywood’s evil scientists have ever been 100% accurate.

 Director: Martin Campbell Tom Craven (Gibson) is a widowed Boston homicide detective. Having raised his daughter Emma (Novakovic) on his own, he thinks the world of her. When she returns home, everything is hunky dory. Until she gets blown through his front door with a shotgun. Cue gritty revenge thriller.
Director: John Hillcoat "Soon all the trees in the world will have fallen... I think it's October, but I can’t be sure. I haven’t kept a calendar for years." The post-apocalyptic world is a grey place. Drowned in decaying ash, it sits in ruins, foraged by the few who survived. Among them are a father (Mortensen) and his boy (Smit-McPhee). They wander the wastelands, over the cracked ground, stepping between dead bodies and abandoned lives. It's a sombre scene, which stops you cold. This is The Road they have to walk.  Director: Andrea Arnold If it's one thing British cinema is good at, it's kitchen sink dramas. But as our auteurs age with time, who in this modern society can take up the mantle? Step forward, Andrea Arnold, Oscar-winning Brit with a taste for the grit - if you want the kitchen sink, you bet your life she'll throw one at the camera. |
