	60%	Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)	If Downey Jr and Law team up for further adventures, it'd be a smart move to emphasise the shadows over the games. - Radio Times EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 14, 2011
3	66%	Insidious (2011)	For all its creaky-old-dark-house cliches, Insidious is a fun ghost-train ride, full of truly terrifying moments. But once it's over, it's forgotten. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 4, 2011
3	63%	Here I Am (2010)	Here it is, a solid and heartfelt debut. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 4, 2011

4	88%	Let Me In (2010)	Let Me In is one of the finest American horror films of recent years. It may be a remake but, when it's this good, who cares? Bloody great! - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 15, 2010
3	36%	Eat Pray Love (2010)	Preaching to the converted, fans of the book should be sated. Julia Roberts is easy to love. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 29, 2010
4	53%	I'm Still Here (2010)	The truth doesn't hurt. Despite the fact we now know that Phoenix hasn't lost the plot, I'm Still Here is still an amazing piece of cinema. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 19, 2010
4	87%	Boy (2012)	Boy is the feel-good film of the year. This boy's life is a hilarious and bewitching reminder of what it's like to be young. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 1, 2010
3/5	64%	Tomorrow, When the War Began (2012)	Action-packed and thrilling to the max but TWTWB is let down by its inexperienced cast and surprisingly clunky dialogue. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 1, 2010
3	69%	Matching Jack (2010)	Beautifully played and powerfully moving, despite the sugary clichés. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 22, 2010
5	81%	Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)	In a cinematic battlefield full of Inceptions and Expendables, Scott Pilgrim vs The World takes on all comers and kicks ass. One of the best films of the year so far. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 22, 2010

4/5	69%	The Runaways (2010)	A hugely enjoyable trash fest. The perfect way for Runaways virgins to pop their Cherry Bomb. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 20, 2010
3/5	65%	Predators (2010)	Gory, action packed and full to the brim with rampant Predator action. What more could you want? - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 6, 2010
3/5	10%	Grown Ups (2010)	An Adam Sandler movie with a heart? Almost! This is no Punch Drunk Love or Spanglish but waft aside the flatulence and there is an adult film crying to grow up. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 26, 2010
1/5	37%	Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)	Says a lot about a film when a balaclava-clad suicidal ostrich is one of its only highlights. For Gyllenhaal and Arterton completists only. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted May 24, 2010
3/5	51%	Alice in Wonderland (2010)	The challenge of reinventing Alice in Wonderland sees Tim Burton reinvigorated and refreshed. Visually stunning and filled with a delightfully deranged group of inhabitants, Burton's immensely enjoyable Wonderland is well worth a visit. - Empire Magazine Australasia EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 2, 2010
