Oddly soulless, Alice in Wonderland is an uneven piece of wacky film-making. It should be up there with Lord of the Rings. Instead it's hanging around with Prince Caspian.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is gripping and unsettling stuff. A cold blast of Scandinavian class.
With striking shots & reverberating visuals, Shutter Island is a perfectly predictable B-movie. It's just a shame it lasts two and a half hours.
Greengrass is great at asking accurate questions, but Green Zone is better at just blowing stuff up.
From Paris with Love is perfect popcorn fodder - dumb, diverting and surprisingly not dreadful.
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
A rousing call to arms, Capitalism: A Love Story shows Moore is still as polemic & provocative as ever
Solomon Kane is small in scale but large in ambition; what it lacks in originality it makes up for with bucket-loads of blood.
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.
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 matches its polished surface with a sorrowful and deep undercurrent. Simply gorgeous cinema.

 It was cold, it was dark - we don't blame you for not being there. But it was a classy affair when Colin Firth stepped out in Mayfair last night for the premiere of his BAFTA (and now Oscar) nominated film, A Single Man.
