  • Storm Boy

    1976 was kinda a big deal. Steve Jobs formed the Apple computer company, The Ramones released their first album, Big Ben stopped working, and the world saw the release of Storm Boy. Wait, what do you mean you’ve never heard of it? You sir, are missing out (sort of).


  • Win Win

    Character actor and film demi-god Paul Giamatti is in fine form in this indie tragi-comedy about selfish and selfless acts in suburbia. But was it a Win-Win or a Meh-Meh?


  • Trackman

    Three men decide to make a quick getaway by using the tunnels underneath the city taking three hostages with them for collateral. They thought they were the bad guys. That is until the met Trackman…


  • Sea Wolf

    Mutiny, death and philosophy on the high seas in this two-part made-for-TV adaptation of Jack London’s 1906 novel The Sea Wolf. Helped by an impressive cast and a faithful transposition of the original text’s deeply psychological and political themes, Sea Wolf is a bloody and tense maritime drama that delivers a lot more than you’d expect from the average period adaptation.


  • Bridesmaids

    Managing to be refreshing yet wearyingly familiar at the same time, Bridesmaids is your typical Apatow fodder: funny, crude, jolly and entirely disposable, only this time it’s with WOMEN WOMEN BLOOMIN WELL WOMEN.


  • Take Me Home Tonight

    The tagline for Take Me Home Tonight reads ‘Best. Night. Ever.’ Pretty bold for a film with little publicity and a cast of not-very-well-knowns. But this surprisingly sweet and funny tale of what was acceptable in the 80’s is full of decade-spanning charm.



  • Lovely, Still

    Christmas was months ago but with the arrival of Nik Fackler’s film Lovely, Still, the holiday feel is still present. Bring your Kleenex, the film’s like The Notebook but for the older person.


  • Cedar Rapids

    What happens in Cedar Rapids stays in Cedar Rapids. It’s a bit like Las Vegas but it doesn’t have the casinos, or the water fountains, or Celine Dion but it does have a prostitute and a (small) pool. That counts for something, right?


  • Barry Munday

    Barry Munday is a feel-good rom-com premised on genital mutilation. Potentially offensive on two entirely different levels then, it’s no surprise that this is probably one to miss.
