Melancholia Review
Your wedding day is meant to be the best day of your life, right? Well, not if an ominous blue planet is looming over Earth. Melancholia; my first experience of a Lars von Trier film wasn’t the greatest as art house meets sci-fi in this psychological apocalyptic movie
Doubt Review
With stellar performances from all the cast and snappy dialogue, it’s hard to think of any criticisms for the 2008 Doubt
Retreat Review
Cillian Murphy and Thandie Newton play a troubled couple getting away from it all on a remote island in Retreat. They’re not as alone as they think they are, as Jamie Bell shows up unannounced bringing terrible news
Sleeping Beauty (2011) Review
This is certainly not the Disney classic; those looking for the animation will be highly disappointed and a little disturbed by 2011′s Sleeping Beauty.
Oranges and Sunshine Review
The 2011 Oranges and Sunshine explores the true story of Margaret Humphreys: a social worker who uncovers the most significant social scandals of recent times. Does it manage to entertain whilst getting the facts across?
Mysterious Skin Review
As a big fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s more recent work, I decided to delve into his back catalogue and see how he faired pre-(500) Days of Summer in Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin. At times uncomfortable and traumatic to watch, it deals with sensitive issues with tact and maturity.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Review
Even though it is nominated for an Oscar in the category for best picture, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has been subject to fierce criticism by the critics. Is it really as mawkish as everyone makes it out to be?
The Lord of the Rings (1978) Review
February’s Fan of the Month chose the 1978 animation Lord of the Rings as the film for me to review. How does it compare to Peter Jackson’s adaptation?
The Muppets Review
It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to meet The Muppets. Finally, and with cameos a-plenty you’ll be hard pushed to find a better film to see this year
The Woman in Black Review
Originally a novel, The Woman in Black has been a turned into a variety of adaptations: a radio show, film for TV, a theatre production and now a feature film. Can the movie live up to the scary reputation the stage show has built up?
