Chalet Girl
Chalet Girl Director: Phil Traill Cast: Felicity Jones, Ed Westwick, Bill Bailey, Bill Nighy, Sophia Bush & Brooke Shields NG (0/5) Every now and then a film comes along of such little worth, such little artistic merit that it should be pulled from cinemas, incinerated and then buried in a dankly remote bog. Chalet Girl, […]
The Resident
The Resident Director: Antti Jokenin Cast: Hilary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Christopher Lee The Resident is a voyeuristic thriller that never actually scares, thrills or excites. It is another generically tame game of cat and mouse that reveals its plot twist too early and boasts of big names to fill seats. Antti Jokenin’s direction […]
Fair Game
Director: Doug Liman Starring: Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, Ty Burrell, Sam Shepard, Khaled El Nabawy III (2/5) Fair Game is based on the true story of C.I.A undercover operative Valerie Plume (Naomi Watts), whose identity was leaked to the media by the Bush administration in 2003.

Waste Land
Waste Land Director: Lucy Walker 2:1 By Jack Mays All documentaries, ultimately, fall into one of two categories: ones that shed light on the dark side of human nature, and ones that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit. Surprisingly, for a documentary set largely in the world’s largest landfill, the Oscar-nominated Waste Land falls […]
True Grit
True Grit Directors: Joel & Ethan Coen 1:1 The Coen Brothers are known for the masterful way in which they take a genre story and warp it into something exceptional. The Big Lebowski is their take on a detective story, Intolerable Cruelty their romantic comedy and O Brother Where Art Thou their musical. Now with […]
Rabbit Hole
Rabbit Hole Director: John Cameron Mitchell 2:1 Rabbit Hole is the story of a couple’s grief following the death of their child. It is also a film in which, I am unashamed to say, I cried continually throughout. It was truly exhausting. However don’t let this put you off watching it. Although it doesn’t sound […]
No Strings Attached
No Strings Attached Director: Ivan Reitman 2:2 What is there to say about No Strings Attached? The film follows a tried-and-tested formula: take two good-lucking stars and contrive to get them in a room together so they can take each other’s clothes off. It’s not going to set the world alight, but it’s perfectly enjoyable […]
