The Queen of Spades (1949) |
It's beautifully lit and photographed, capturing the decadence of old St Petersburg before the Napoleonic Wars, and creates a wonderful atmosphere of tension in its depiction of a Faustian pact. - Future Movies UK

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) |
It's these impulses of Jackson (amped up action and crass disrespect for the text) that spoiled the film; there's no let up, no pause for breath, no pause even for meals. - Future Movies UK

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) |
Everything comes together; the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk venom, Parseltongue, polyjuice potion, the castle ghosts... there's no fat here. - Future Movies UK

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) |

The Eagle (2011) |
While Bell is decent, Tatum is fatally wooden. I'm not really sure that he can act at all; he certainly fails to convince as a Roman soldier. - Future Movies UK

I Am Number Four (2011) |
It goes without saying, if you have read this far, that I Am Number Four is very silly. But that's not to say its not enjoyable. - Future Movies UK

The Tourist (2010) |
On paper, The Tourist sounds like a dream film -- two of the hottest actors alive, in a charmingly frothy romantic crime caper set in one of the most beautiful cities on earth. So why didn't it come alive on screen? - Future Movies UK

For Colored Girls (2010) |
It's refreshing to see an all black cast, in a film that places black women's stories front and centre; it's just a shame that the stories are such downers. - Future Movies UK
