(1949) 96% EDIT “One of three Ealing comedies released in 1949 (the others were Passport to Pimlico and Kind Hearts and Coronets), and remains by far the sharpest, freshest and most resonant.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 27, 2014 Full Review Cool Runnings (1993) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Cool Runnings is a charming tale of determined underdogs, with plenty of laughs, moments of real tension, and five engaging performances.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 18, 2014 Full Review Edward Scissorhands (1990) 91% 5/5 EDIT “Burton's modern fairytale has an almost palpably personal feel: it is told gently, subtly and with infinite sympathy for an outsider who charms the locals but then inadvertently arouses their baser instincts.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 17, 2014 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) 95% 4/5 EDIT “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, featuring his heroic man-and-dog duo, Wallace and Gromit, is Park at his sublimely silly best.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 26, 2013 Full Review Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Planes,Trains and Automobiles is a very funny film.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 24, 2013 Full Review It's a Wonderful Life (1946) 94% EDIT “The inspirational, thoroughly festive ending is guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 24, 2013 Full Review Elena (2011) 94% 4/5 EDIT “[An] understated but gripping drama about family ties, about the way that sometimes tensions vie with tenderness in even the closest relationships.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 25, 2012 Full Review Room 237 (2012) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Lots of what they say is bonkers; all of it is engrossing.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 25, 2012 Full Review 5/5 EDIT “Celebration Day is a celebration of rock 'n' roll at its most moving, magical and magnificent.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 24, 2012 Full Review When the Lights Went Out (2012) 36% 2/5 EDIT “Director Pat Holden delivers a few effective shocks but overcooks the climax.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 13, 2012 Full Review Queen: Live in Budapest (1987) 83% 3/5 EDIT “The Hungarian authorities, deeming it a historic occasion, deployed a vast film crew to record the gig, here crisply remastered in HD with surround sound.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 13, 2012 Full Review Anton Corbijn Inside Out (2012) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Goes a long way towards explaining the emptiness and isolation that characterise his work.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 13, 2012 Full Review The Snows of Kilimanjaro (2011) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Robert Gudiguian's affecting blend of social grit and domestic tenderness steers clear of sentimentality - just.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 13, 2012 Full Review Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Southern and Lovelace skilfully interweave footage of the wondrous, thunderous racket of the gig with Murphy's morning-after reflections on why he bailed out at the height of his success ...” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 6, 2012 Full Review Rec 3: Genesis (2012) 45% 3/5 EDIT “Presents more ripped flesh and spilt guts but in a new, sunnier setting - a wedding reception at a sprawling country mansion.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 31, 2012 Full Review A Few Best Men (2011) 16% 2/5 EDIT “The humour never rises above the level of burp, puke and fart jokes ...” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 30, 2012 Full Review The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010) 80% 3/5 EDIT “A likeable cast of unknowns wriggle convincingly through the awkwardness of late adolescence in first-time director David Robert Mitchell's low-key indie drama.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 30, 2012 Full Review
