The Invention of Lying (2009) 56% 1/5 EDIT “Somewhere between a great concept and an awful script The Invention of Lying got lost in its own truth gimmick. But the truth is, it starts bad and just gets worse.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) 52% 3.5/5 EDIT “While for some there is something disconcerting about the lifeless eyes of the otherwise life like characters, it certainly lends itself to large 3D cinemas, with rubber faced characters and grand sweeping movement.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Absolutely Anything (2015) 20% 1/5 EDIT “There is only one thing worse than a bad film. That is a bad film that should have been a great film.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 8, 2017 Full Review Secret in Their Eyes (2015) 39% 4/5 EDIT “It should have been a TV series.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 19, 2015 Full Review Blinky Bill the Movie (2015) 73% 3/5 EDIT “A nice film - with all the positives and few negatives that entails.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Pixels (2015) 18% 2/5 EDIT “It's not as bad as you've heard.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Sep 10, 2015 Full Review Ricki and the Flash (2015) 64% 2/5 EDIT “Promises a Meryl Streep Masterpiece but delivers a 2 star cover act instead.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Holding the Man (2015) 81% 5/5 EDIT “It is beautiful. It is tragic. And it is an absolute must-see.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Last Cab to Darwin (2015) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A truly wonderful ride, start to finish.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2015 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The film that leaves you wanting more. Not five minutes more. Five films more.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Mr. Holmes (2015) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Mr. Holmes is not simply brilliant, for it is not simple. It is complex, multi-layered and probing. But it is brilliant and also entertaining.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jul 23, 2015 Full Review Paper Towns (2015) 58% 4/5 EDIT “Does absolutely nothing new in a refreshingly fun way.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Ted 2 (2015) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Tragically, like some 1980s straight-to-video sequel, this has all the concept but none of the charm of the original.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 25, 2015 Full Review Minions (2015) 55% 3/5 EDIT “far more kids-only than either of those featuring Gru.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 18, 2015 Full Review Entourage (2015) 32% 3/5 EDIT “It's bonkers. It's fun. And it's all for the fans.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 4, 2015 Full Review A Royal Night Out (2015) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Funny, fascinating and entirely heart-warming. Spoil your Mum. Spoil yourself.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 14, 2015 Full Review Cinderella (2015) 84% 5/5 EDIT “Delivers EXACTLY what it promises. Perfectly. Beautifully. Magically.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 26, 2015 Full Review That Sugar Film (2014) 69% 4/5 EDIT “A great documentary, a great night out, and a great eye-opener. You'll never look at an ingredients list the same way again...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Seventh Son (2014) 12% 3/5 EDIT “Seventh Son has all the requisite parts: witch hunters, witches, a naive apprentice, dragons, simple townsfolk and, err, guys with axes for arms.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Unfinished Business (2015) 10% 2/5 EDIT “A lazy film that contains more than a few lazy laughs but will ultimately only amuse those thrilled by boobs staring at breasts...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 5, 2015 Full Review The Lunchbox (2013) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The perfect date film, guaranteed.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Locke (2013) 91% 4/5 EDIT “This is pure storytelling and acting and it is magnificent, compelling and wonderful.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie (2014) 6% 2/5 EDIT “O'Carroll's yellow-face portrayal of Mr Wang is eerily reminiscent of Mickey Rooney's Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's, more than half a century ago.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Pacific Rim (2013) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “In essence, Pacific Rim features a series of Godzilla monsters battle an ever dwindling number of Transformers, layered over the plot from Independence Day, only dumber.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 30, 2013 Full Review Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) 84% EDIT “A brilliant, bromantic blockbuster.” – The Age (Australia) May 10, 2013 Full Review
