Posted Oct 3, 2013

Posted Sep 24, 2013
76% How I Live Now (2013) " How I Live Now may be too mild-mannered to stand up against the recent spate of post-Apocalyptic movies, but its relish for love in the face of adversity ultimately sets it apart and makes it something of a tender charmer of a film." — Screen International
Posted Sep 14, 2013

Posted Sep 13, 2013
75% Jigoku de naze warui (Why Don't You Play in Hell?) () " Sion Sono's rousing, freewheeling, scattershot and ultimately astonishingly bloodthirsty film is a classic cult title that will keep midnight movie fans entertained." — Screen International

Posted Sep 13, 2013
45% And While We Were Here (2013) " This elegant and beautifully staged Italy-set drama offers Kate Bosworth the perfect acting vehicle, playing a beautiful but emotionally troubled young woman who seeks to escape the mundanity of her marriage while on a trip to the Amalfi coast." — Screen International
Posted Sep 13, 2013
58% GMO OMG (2013) " Smart animation and a series of powerfully provocative statistics punctuate the film, and while familiar it is still a subject that needs to be focused on." — Screen International
Posted Sep 10, 2013
85% The Invisible Woman (2013) " An enthralling and beautifully performed period drama ..." — Screen International
Posted Sep 9, 2013

Posted Sep 3, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " A thrilling film that is driven by energy, intelligence and conviction." — Screen International
Posted Sep 3, 2013
98% Gravity (2013) " Cuaron's exhilarating and often spectacular 3-D film is a real pleasure, driven by top-notch lead performance from Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as well as some seriously cool special effects." — Screen International
Posted Aug 28, 2013
55% Now, Forager (2012) " Mushrooms, food and romance collide in Jason Cortlund and Julia Halperin's modestly charming indie debut." — Screen International
Posted Aug 20, 2013
83% The Patience Stone (2013) " Golshifteh Farahani gives a memorable and moving performance in Atiq Rahimi's poetic and politically charged allegory." — Screen International
Posted Aug 12, 2013
30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " Ultimately feels rather scattershot and disjointed, perhaps quite simply because it lacks the sheer left-field originality of the original..." — Screen International
Posted Aug 12, 2013
62% About Time (2013) " While it is easy to criticise, there is also something disarmingly honourable about Richard Curtis's good-hearted and positive worldview." — Screen International
Posted Aug 8, 2013

Posted Jul 31, 2013

Posted Jul 29, 2013
62% Scenic Route (2013) " Scenic Route offers strong roles for Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler, and while familiar in tone and structure it is watchable and well performed." — Screen International
Posted Jul 29, 2013
84% Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa () " The wittily scripted Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is a joy, offering up more quotable lines and amusingly surreal Partridge moments." — Screen International
Posted Jul 24, 2013
57% The Frozen Ground (2013) " While straight-forward in tone and structure, the film is admirably non-exploitative as it lays out the developing drama." — Screen International
Posted Jul 23, 2013
3/5 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " What isn't to like about Pacific Rim? This bludgeoning 3D creature feature is a slick bit of movie mayhem." — Daily Mirror [UK]
Posted Jul 9, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " Edgar Wright has a sure hand and a terrific filmic knowledge, and he and Simon Pegg have again crafted a script that goes back to the bare essentials of friendship in the face of adversity." — Screen International
Posted Jul 8, 2013

Posted Jun 24, 2013

— —— Wakolda () — Screen International

Posted May 20, 2013
100% Jodorowsky's Dune (2014) " Hailed as one of the great films never to be made, its content and structure have been much debated by Dune and film fans, but with Frank Pavich's film the truth behind the deliriously bold plans are finally revealed." — Screen International
Posted May 20, 2013
59% The Bling Ring (2013) " The film ... is rather one-tone - they break into houses, wear clothes, go to clubs, do drugs and get caught - and lacks any real sense of drama." — Screen International
Posted May 16, 2013

Posted May 2, 2013
— 25% Aroused (2013) — Screen International
Posted May 2, 2013
75% Big Bad Wolves () " Big Bad Wolves builds on the potential shown by the directors Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado with their cult 2010 debut Rabies, and racks up the tension and chills to impressive effect." — Screen International
Posted May 2, 2013
