81 T6 The Trouble with Harry (1955) - Jan 02, 2013
"Could you call this a gentle black comedy? The colours are fantastic, the plot bizarre and the humour will probably not make you laugh out loud but this is very genuinely wicked as well as quirky and likeable."
82 T7 Dead Man's Shoes (2004) - Jan 02, 2013
"Some parts of this are intriguing and brilliant, but the mixture of superb local detail, the portrayal of a the grim underbelly of rural life doesn't, for me, sit easily with the more traditional execution of a revenge thriller, with the suspension of reality that's required. Maybe it was all meant to hang together to add richness, but I found it disappointed ultimately. Some brilliant, detailed, acting performances, however."
78 T5 Princesas (2005) - Jan 02, 2013
"Decent enough portrayal of the difficulties of Spanish sex workers. Quality is sustained largely by the performance of the lead actors rather than anything else."
83 T8 Blood Simple (1984) - Jan 02, 2013
"Good contemporary film noir with all the early hallmark character quirks of the Coen Brothers' genuis."
82 T7 Marley (2012) - Jan 02, 2013
"Very good and worthwhile piece of filmmaking. Wasn't expecting much as it seems all has been said about the great man before, but the emphasis on music as part of his religion gave a real sense of the man's energy."
79 T5 The Master (2012) - Jan 02, 2013
"Having a brilliant performance by the lead actor, and being different to other mainstream Hollywood releases does not, itself, make for a great movie unfortunately. The fact that the subject material is pretty uninteresting, and characters aside from the lead undeveloped seems to be overlooked here. Absorbing due to Joaquin Phoenix who can't gain enough plaudits for his performance, but utterly inconsequential otherwise."
82 T7 Videodrome (1983) - Jan 02, 2013
"Some iconic moments and characters just about hold this all together. The plot could do with having slightly less in it and focussing on issues rather than dynamics and some of the effects work, some just don't. Very watchable."
85 T9 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) - Aug 31, 2012
"Well put together, although strangely little to laugh at. Kubrick's trademark characters, who seem to act independently of the plot and thus become somewhat absurd, are here in abundance."
82 T7 Searching for Sugar Man (2012) - Aug 31, 2012
"Good work. Intelligently put together, and lets characters speak for themselves which is what you want for this most remarkable of stories."
77 T4 Hotel Rwanda (2004) - May 20, 2012
"Ultimately pretty disappointing as a film. Although the subject matter is moving, it's quite thin in most other respects."
