Review: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
Terence: “Shoot him again.”
“Midget”: “What for?”

hysterical laugh.
Review: Alice In Wonderland
It’s an engaging and relentlessly pretty trip down the rabbit hole, but with sloppy pacing and cut/paste characters, you’re unlikely to loose yourself there.
Never Seen It: Part Four
The fourth outing that tells you about more films that you might not have seen or even heard of.
Review: From Paris With Love
From Paris With Love isn’t a masterpiece of modern cinema, it’s just an hour and a half of stuff blowing up, people shooting people, John Travolta being a badass, bad one-liners, some well-shot scenes and a generic action feel. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad film though.
Review: Everybody’s Fine
You know what? I’ll be damned if I’m going to have the mass of critics that contradict or condemn my opinion because I’m in the minority affect how I felt about this film. For me it was nothing short of incredible and it’s become one of my favourite films in recent years.
Review: Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
The Lightning Thief is just one film in a long line of commercialised Hollywood franchises where real cinematic values get pushed aside for the sake of money-creating stereotypes.

Sure the A to B, coming-of-age story isn’t without fault and the country-western themes within the film aren’t entirely original. Don’t let the negatives take anything away from Jeff Bridges’ sublime performance though.
Review: An Education
I expected a lot from An Education and it still blew my expectations away, it is my favourite drama in recent memory.
Review: The Lovely Bones
You can see what Peter Jackson is trying to do with The Lovely Bones but the end product is a mixture of enjoyment and confusion.

Review: Legion
It’s disappointing that Legion turned out the way it did because it could have been much better.
Review: 44 Inch Chest
Five brilliant individual performances, some excellent scriptwriting and the subtle elements of comedy to splice up the drama save 44 Inch Chest from being a letdown, had the awkward stereotypes, the heavy amount of dialogue and the barebones, sometimes just plain awkward situation influenced the flow of the film more.
Review: The Book of Eli
The Book Of Eli is a lot better than the sum of its parts. The action, acting and writing are decent but it is the believable world and the thought provoking themes that lift The Book Of Eli above mediocrity.
