The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists
Director: Peter Lord
Starring: Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven, Imelda Staunton, David Tennant
Rating: 
Wow, family movies have suddenly been getting really good lately. Arthur Christmas, Hugo, The Muppets, Winnie The Pooh – all excellent. Yes, we still have The Lorax and every other dire Dr Seuss adaptation; but I’m glad to see we’re long past The Smurfs and Mr Poppers Penguins.
’4. 3. 2. 1′ (2010) – Mini Review
Director: Noel Clarke
Starring: Emma Roberts, Ophelia Lovibond, Tamsin Egerton, Adam Deacon
Rating:
Its a ‘feminist’ movie that has the conventionally attractive protagonists in their underwear half the time, and almost every single male is a 2-Dimensional asshole. The fact it has a lesbian sex scene for no reason shows how ‘feminist’ this movie is trying to be. However: its non-linear narrative is told well – and I actually liked the last twenty minutes as the movie finally realised what it was: a derivative but OK urban Thriller.
Touch of Evil – Review
Director: Orson Welles
Starring: Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson Welles, Marlene Dietrich
Rating:
Orson Welles’s Touch Of Evil is one of the many films in the long and storied history of Hollywood to be tampered with by studio’s who do not understand the auteur’s intention, and underestimate audiences expectations/intelligence.
Django – Review
Director: Sergio Corbucci
Starring: Franco Nero, Loredana Nusciak, Eduardo Fajardo, José Bódalo
Rating: 
You probably wont be surprised at all when I say that Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Django Unchained is heavily based on an edgy, somewhat obscure movie…
Oscars 2012 Review
And so, with the end of the Oscars comes the end of the awards season. You know – the time of year when everybody forgets about all the other movies released throughout last year, and concentrates on the movies slipped right at the end of the year so that they can nab a crapload of awards.
The Woman In Black (2012) – Review
Director: James Watkins
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer, Sophie Stuckey, Liz White
Rating:
At first I dismissed this movie as clichéd. After a sleepless night, however, my attitude about this movie completely changed. It is creepy as hell…
The Muppets (2011) – Review
Director: James Bobin
Starring: Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones
Rating:
TOTALLY WORTH THE FOUR MONTHS EXTRA WE IN THE UK HAD TO WAIT!!
Gomorra / Gommorrah (2008) – Review
Director: Matteo Garrone
Starring: Toni Servillo, Gianfelice Imparato, Salvatore Cantalupo, Gigio Morra, Salvatore Abruzzese, Marco Macor, Ciro Petrone
Rating:
This had all the danger signs. A critically acclaimed, Cannes award winning, Italian social-realist film, being sold on the Criterion Collection? This sounds as though is going to be so pretentious it’ll make James Cameron look like Gandhi…
Four Lions (2009) – Review
Director: Chris Morris
Starring: Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay, Adeel Akhtar
Rating:
This is a film about terrorism. Yeah….
War Horse (2011) – Review
Director: Stephen Speilberg
Starring: Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, Peter Mullan, David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch (and a really well trained horse)
Rating: 
Yes, I liked this. I shouldn’t have – but I succumbed to the Spielberg whimsy. I know – what kind of critic am I?
