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.

 Terrence Malick is lining up his next film; a momentous occasion in the film industry calendar, given that he tends to spend 10 years on one before he's happy with it. But this is even more momentous, because (as far as the world is aware) he's still working on Tree of Life, which stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.
