Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
88% Rush (2013) " Rush is Howard's most exciting, compelling, and utterly entertaining film in years, and feels like a movie made by a much, much younger filmmaker." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 30, 2013
14% R.I.P.D. (2013) " The brilliant Jeff Bridges is pretty much the whole show in this lazily enjoyable tale of afterlife cops doing battle with ghostly ghouls." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 10, 2013
60% Riddick (2013) " an acceptable sci-fi actioner, though after all this time, it ultimately rates as a safe return for the title character, rather than one that really grabs the audience by the throat and goes in for the kill." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 10, 2013
30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " In the end, Kick-Ass 2 just kicks the audience's arse too much, and with too much unnecessary force..." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Aug 20, 2013
47% We're The Millers (2013) " By mixing raunchy laughs with genuine warmth, this pot-dealing comedy sparks up as a gag-filled surprise about the need for familial connection. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Aug 14, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " In an ironic twist, this time it's the everyday that proves more involving and amusing than the film's shaky detour into the extraordinary." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 30, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " At its best when keeping its action and characters grounded, this is a leaner, less-explosion-heavy comic book flick than most recent efforts, and thankfully absolves the sins of its much-maligned predecessor. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 23, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " Pacific Rim proves that when the pilot of the film is a smart, switched-on filmmaker, even a loopy blockbuster about robots fighting monsters can have heart, brains and charm." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 9, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " It's like Dumb & Dumber out on the range, but without the laughs." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 4, 2013
56% Man of Steel (2013) " Snyder largely succeeds in creating an epic piece of blockbuster filmmaking that still understands the value of smaller, intimate moments. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jun 26, 2013
69% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " Sure, these films are hardly of the blue ribbon variety (and they don't pretend to be), but you actually do care about what is going to happen to the characters, which makes you gladly go along for the ride." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jun 3, 2013
19% The Hangover Part III (2013) " Breaking the mould is usually a brave and admirable cinematic act, but when it crashes the party here, it proves to be the ultimate big screen buzz-kill. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 21, 2013
82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " ...the best kind of film: big enough to be bracing, but small enough to draw you right in, and then exercise a firm, vice-like grip." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 8, 2013
28% Drift (2013) " Predicting which Aussie films will swamp the box office is near impossible, but in terms of quality, this honest, heartfelt flick well and truly keeps its head above water." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 30, 2013
79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " The third installment in the game-changing Iron Man trilogy takes all the hard work done by Marvel Studios in creating a rich, thoughtful but never po-faced cinematic universe, and turns it into a big joke." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 23, 2013
54% Oblivion (2013) " Rich with ideas, and driven by extraordinary visuals, the occasionally confusing but deeply rewarding 'Oblivion' is a top-flight slice of sci-fi." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 10, 2013
89% Lincoln (2012) " Lincoln is a far more reckless, entertaining, unusual, but ultimately horribly uneven film than its pedigree may suggest." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Feb 3, 2013
88% Django Unchained (2012) " Tarantino is starting to look more and more like an angry teenager in his bedroom going, "Wouldn't it be good if..." " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jan 21, 2013
51% Trouble with the Curve (2012) " A classy old school character drama that dips into sentimentality in its final stages, but remains first-rate in every other aspect." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Dec 7, 2012
68% God Bless America (2012) " Though hilariously funny and luridly hypnotic, God Bless America is quite possibly the angriest and saddest film of the last ten years." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Nov 11, 2012
75% Killing Them Softly (2012) " A blisteringly original take on the American crime movie that's as thrilling as it is sobering. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 12, 2012
67% Lawless (2012) " This Prohibition-era crime drama boasts bravura performances, unforgettable characters, moments of shocking violence, and enough in-your-face entertainment for three films. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 12, 2012
93% Looper (2012) " Matching its intelligent and taut thrills with richly developed characters and thought-provoking questions, this is one of the decade's best sci-fi flicks. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 27, 2012
26% Kath & Kimderella () " It may not be a slickly, richly cinematic experience, but it's something more important than that: funny. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 6, 2012
30% Total Recall (2012) " Len Wiseman's remake of Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi cult classic is dull, repetitive and uninspired, despite a big budget and an attractive cast. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Aug 23, 2012
56% The Bourne Legacy (2012) " Fast paced, tightly plotted and strongly performed, The Bourne Legacy is an inventive continuation of the groundbreaking Bourne series. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Aug 16, 2012
88% The Dark Knight Rises (2012) " Epic and exhilarating in its ambition and execution, Christopher Nolan delivers another landmark in comic book cinema and also a wholly satisfying end note for fans." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 18, 2012
88% Not Suitable for Children (2013) " This smart, soulful and surprisingly darkly-hued comedy throws up a handful of interesting questions about personal responsibility." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 10, 2012
73% The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) " If you can get over the feeling that this is all very familiar, this superhero flick is a winner - nailing both the impressive action and the touching personal beats." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 5, 2012
50% Swerve () " Firmly sticking to its noir roots, this is a modest but well-crafted achievement which remains entertaining throughout." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jun 6, 2012
86% Careless Love () " Sidestepping a more extreme take on prostitution, this is a quietly impressive portrait of a young woman caught in a tragic situation." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 16, 2012
57% The Dictator (2012) " A disappointing, often repulsive and mean-spirited mess of a film with seemingly only one real criterion on its agenda: to shock and offend." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 16, 2012
38% Dark Shadows (2012) " While Tim Burton disappointingly reins in the weirdness and struggles to nail the tone, this is still packed with memorable moments and terrific performances." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 8, 2012
72% Wish You Were Here (2013) " Announcing its debut director Kieran Darcy-Smith as a talent to watch, this superbly crafted tale always roots its thrills in rich characterisation." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 26, 2012
92% Marvel's The Avengers (2012) " Wildly entertaining yet brilliantly cohesive, wonderfully characterised, deftly humorous and packed with heart, this is an absolute winner." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 20, 2012
85% 21 Jump Street (2012) " Its two leads possess amusing chemistry but this smug and ultimately disappointing revamp never manages to strike the right note between action and comedy." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Mar 14, 2012
51% John Carter (2012) " Despite occasional moments of silliness, the old-fashioned sense of adventure and brilliantly rendered aliens elevate this above other derivative big-budget sci-fi fare." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Mar 9, 2012
—— I'm Not Dead Yet () " Entertaining, funny, occasionally poignant and always revealing, this is a warm and worthy celebration of a man often not given his due in country music." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Dec 1, 2011
50% Fighting Fear () " With two compelling figures at its core, this engagingly honest and unapologetically positive doco makes for exciting and ultimately moving viewing." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Nov 10, 2011
100% Jucy () " The natural chemistry of the leads and frankly funny dialogue make for a delightful local gem." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Nov 3, 2011
83% Warrior (2011) " Dotted with emotional honesty and strong storytelling that you only find in truly special movies." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 26, 2011
93% Drive (2011) " One of this year's most original, entertaining and frankly shocking American movies." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 26, 2011
84% Contagion (2011) " An intelligent, emotionally driven ensemble film that we have come to expect from Soderbergh." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 20, 2011
26% The Cup (2012) " Driven by Stephen Curry's brilliant lead performance, this deeply moving story is told in an accessible but powerful manner." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 11, 2011
83% Caught Inside (2012) " It's a solid effort all round, but this really belongs to Ben Oxenbould whose brilliantly unhinged performance makes this a truly thrilling experience." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 6, 2011
70% Footloose (2011) " It may adhere to the original a little too closely, but this remake is still an immensely enjoyable ride boosted by Craig Brewer's pitch-perfect musical instincts." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 6, 2011
98% Project Nim (2011) " Driven by James Marsh's measured storytelling style, this ethically unsettling and emotionally compelling documentary is the equal of any cinematic epic." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 29, 2011
74% The Whistleblower (2011) " a film so tough, anguished and emotionally devastating that you can safely assume that Kondracki has scratched words like "compromise" and "safe" from her personal vocabulary." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 28, 2011
80% God Bless Ozzy Osbourne (2011) " A funny, candid and emotionally affecting portrait of one of heavy metal rock's most unpredictable legends." — FILMINK (Australia)
