Movie Reviews

• Shutter Island

  1954. A lighthouse against a grey sky. A graveyard in a storm. A lonely hospital for the criminally insane. On an island. If Martin Scorcese’s latest flick is anything, it’s atmospheric.

   
• Salvage

  Is there really any room for yet another British apocalyptic frightfest to grace our screens with typical working class grit winning out over government led militia?

   
• The Last Station

  If the thought of BBC period dramas on Sundays makes you cringe, this is your film.

   
• The Lovely Bones

  In a recent television interview, Peter Jackson said that CGI in film has come as far as it is going to, and that filmmakers should return to telling stories.

   
• Edge Of Darkness

  Director Martin Campbell, who rejuvenated the James Bond franchise not once but twice (with 1995's GoldenEye and then Casino Royale in 2006), has here done the same for Mel Gibson’s on screen persona.

   
• A Prophet

  A dark and difficult journey, A Prophet is a story about politics and ascent to power and an exploration of guilt and brutality.

   
• Sherlock Holmes

  When you contemplate a modern filmic adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, the last person who’d come to mind, to foresee the project, would be Guy Ritchie and his cockney, one-liner-filled, brash-laden style of filmmaking.

   
• Avatar

  From the opening minutes of Avatar, it's imminently clear that we are not in Kansas anymore.

   
• Me And Orson Welles

  The Mercury Theatre in 1937 was a hot-bed of undiscovered talent: none more so than its prodigious talisman actor/director Orson Welles (at the time a mere 22), who was at the heart of every decision made, from the flyers down to the musical direction.

   
• Disney's A Christmas Carol

  ‘Tis the season to be psychologically scarring your children. What with Monster House and Coraline in recent cine-years, it seems the family horror movie has made a comeback.
