The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is a brawny thriller with style to spare.
A lot of this film looks like it was put together by taking cues from movies that went before it. Sienna Miller is impressive though.
Remember The Untouchables? This movie is nothing like it.
There is precious little that is even smile-worthy in this movie.
Everthing about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to Transformers, is louder and bigger.
The Proposal provides the comfort of a fairytale, updated with strippers, a little comedic nudity and bodily function humour just so that we remember what century we're living in.
Despite spectacular animation, this third installment in the Ice Age franchise is a little repetitive.
The animation of Bolt is pretty good (for a non-Pixar movie) and the tale delivers enough of a message about faith and identity for it to be more than merely a kids' cartoon.
This movie does a good job of embracing the mythology of the franchise so while fans won't be disappointed, even newbies should be able to find satisfaction in the mayhem that unfolds onscreen.
Poor music and unremarkable performances mar this musical.
Drag queens, double entendres and barely dressed women make up Paying Guests. Brave this at your own risk.
Bride Wars starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway is vapid and inessential.
Angels & Demons is a satisfying serving of popcorn cinema.
Though the director and his team deserve the highest accolades for achieving a film of this level of beauty in severely extreme conditions, it is unlikely that this film will find a mass audience. Connoisseurs of high art however will probably find much to appreciate in this sparse and beautiful black and white world.
Cars are smashed, blown up, driven into each other and there is so much metal-on-metal action that a car fetishist should be well and truly spent by the time the end credits roll on this bad boy starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and John Ortiz.
Aloo Chaat is not as tedious as some other 'comedies' that have robbed us of valuable hours of our lives in the recent past, but it still feels like a single episode of a television sitcom was stretched to feature length.
Rather than being an ambitious opus designed to prove a point by a debutante director, Little Zizou comes across as a paean of affection to the people the filmmaker has known all her life. If that was the primary purpose of the film, mission accomplished. For those hoping for a little light entertainment and the possibility of leaving cinema halls with a smile on their face, Zizou might well be the perfect weekend retreat.
Depending upon your position this Clint Eastwood movie could be the feel-good [or feel-bad] movie of this still young year.
