Cult TV & Film Reviews

1. 

   Alice In Wonderland

   Alice In Wonderland leaves much the same aftertaste as Avatar - gorgeous beyond belief, but lacking in soul with a threadbare plot and one-dimensional characters.

   The Crazies

   Slew after slew of empty cheap shocks fill the screen, with only one half-decent sequence involving a bone saw-wielding pathologist.

   Father Of My Children

   Imagine if the angel Clarence hadn't visited George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life - this is the crushing premise that awaits as this unbelievably gorgeous family claim our hearts.

   Crazy Heart

   Jobbing actor Scott Cooper has hit pay dirt with his first film as director, thanks to bagging a couple of stars that fit their roles like well-worn shoes.

   Beyond The Pole

   This extremely likeable adventure crosses Peep Show-style banter with a huge, planet-hugging heart.

   A Single Man

   Life-affirming and a testament to man's capacity for love and joy, A Single Man and the astounding, Oscar-worthy Firth will linger on in your heart for days.

   The Wolfman

   Bereft of a sense of humour, but there isn't a genuine shred of emotion to move the audience into caring about the wellbeing of the empty characters.

   Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief

   A fun movie, with non-fans of the source still finding plenty to enjoy, but nothing to trigger a life-long journey. Certainly no botched Golden Compass, but no Narnia either.

   Edge Of Darkness

   Mel Gibson more than claims back his leading man title in this remake of the BBC thriller. Stripped of the loftiness of its origins, it's relegated to being a forgettable movie of the week.

    Daybreakers

    Works brilliantly when focusing on the world as it has become - a futuristic Minority Report style city, with cars adapted so vamps can hit the road in daylight, and blood consumed by commuters as shots in coffee.
