Posted Oct 7, 2011

2/5 23% The Decoy Bride (2012) " A wretched script and sloppy premise is saved from cinema hell by a charming pair of leads, but still, The Decoy Bride fails to raise anything more than a chuckle. " — The National
Posted Aug 30, 2012

Posted Nov 25, 2011
2/5 68% Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) " Paranormal Activity 3 rarely feels like a "new" film, opting instead to frame old tricks in a new setting. " — The National

Posted Oct 27, 2011
2/5 —— Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night () " "The director Nagae appears to bring a grittier, "J-horror" approach to the aesthetic of the film...but at its core it is the same film with a different setting."" — The National
Posted Oct 27, 2011
2/5 36% One Day (2011) " The leads work well together but are held back by cheap sentimentalism when we should be on a journey with the characters." — The National
Posted Sep 18, 2011
2/5 23% The Smurfs (2011) " Likely to enthral very small children only, The Smurfs starts with promise but peters out into something bland." — The National
Posted Sep 8, 2011

Posted Sep 1, 2011

Posted Sep 1, 2011
2/5 —— Arthur and the Invisibles 3: Arthur and the War of Two Worlds () " despite being masterminded by one of the great European directors of the past 20 years, the Arthur series ends as it began - with a whimper." — The National
Posted Sep 1, 2011
2/5 21% From Prada to Nada (2011) " a predictable film that could have benefited from a little more thought and perhaps less reliance on clichés." — The National
Posted Sep 1, 2011

Posted Sep 1, 2011
2/5 11% Red Riding Hood (2011) " Sexualising a beloved children's fairy tale seems an odd move, but when flanked by an unoriginal story and lacklustre performances, that appears to be the least of the film's problems." — The National
Posted Sep 1, 2011
2/5 35% Battle: Los Angeles (2011) " Not as bad as the other recent invasion movie Skyline, but still nothing to be excited about." — The National
Posted Sep 1, 2011

Posted Sep 1, 2011
2/5 44% A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures (2012) " far too reminiscent of films that have gone before it and suffers from being overly didactic about its environmental themes." — The National
Posted Sep 1, 2011

Posted Sep 1, 2011

Posted Aug 30, 2011
2/5 16% Alpha and Omega (2010) " The animation, coupled with a jarring use of 3D, makes for a visually unspectacular film that feels very similar to others that have come before it." — The National
Posted Aug 30, 2011
2/5 52% Devil (2010) " Although it doubtless will find more success in the DVD market, on the big screen Devil makes for bland viewing." — The National
Posted Aug 30, 2011
2/5 19% Fly Me to the Moon (2008) " It is a family story meant for younger viewers, and passes by without too much effort." — The National
Posted Aug 30, 2011
2/5 51% The Switch (2010) " despite a novel plot device, The Switch is a disappointingly formulaic film and at times quite soulless." — The National
