| A Perfect Getaway (2009) | "
It’s not a classic and doesn’t have all the tension it maybe should have. It’s basically distracting Hollywood thriller fluff that is enjoyable enough in the right mood." — Heart 106.2 Posted Aug 14, 2009 |

That’s not to say that there aren’t funny moments here because there are some really choice moments but they are lost in the mix of purile and often uncomfortable moments that really are below what you’d expect from the team behind this." — Heart 106.2 Posted Jul 10, 2009 |

| Public Enemies (2009) | "
Whilst there is a lot of gun action and violent set pieces in this, it’s really a piece that is really all about the characters and it hands down the best gangster movie of the last decade… at least. One of this year’s few must see movies." — Heart 106.2 Posted Jul 3, 2009 |

The Boat That Rocked is about 40 minutes too long, relies on too many obvious and repetitive gags and tends to sag and loose pace too often for a Richard Curtis film. The good news is that this is no where near as drab or unentertaining as Wimbledon." — Heart 106.2 Posted Apr 3, 2009 |
