Before The Devil Knows Your’re Dead
Now Showing
Kelly Masterson’s script has it all – double-crossing, murder, lies – embossed in a devilish morality tale. Accompanied by Lumet’s superb direction and the bravura performances of its cast (Hawke’s much more at home in meaty drama like this than...
Definitely, Maybe
Now Showing
Like the glue Grandma used to make in a saucepan for you as a kid, Adam Brooks’ new romantic-comedy won’t stick for long – but it holds a lot longer than you’d imagine it would. And best of all, there’s...
Drillbit Taylor

''Drillbit Taylor'' sprays a lot of bullets but doesn’t hit many targets....
Fools Gold

Put it this way, these two are no Hanks and Ryan. Heck, they’re not even Hanks and Hooch....
In The Valley Of Elah
Now Showing
Even better than 2007s finest hour in cinema “No Country for Old Men”, Tommy Lee Jones and crew here continue to reaffirm our belief that the good story-first bells-and-whistles-second movies are still out there- you just have to search a...
Jumper
Now Showing
Despite what its title might lead you to believe, ''Jumper" is not the story of a warm, comfortable pullover....
Lars and the Real Girl
Now Showing
Unlike one of it's central characters – yes, the one with the price-tag, and the stiff legs - “Lars and the Real Girl” is very much full of life, it's an extraordinarily original film with many things a doll does...
Meet the Spartans
Now Showing
If “Date Movie” was being reluctantly strapped down to an iron mattress, and “Epic Movie” was feeling a sharpened knife cut through that first layer of skin, then “Meet the Spartans” is the equivalent of having your intestines removed with...
Mr Woodcock
Now Showing
Take Thornton and Susan Sarandon out of the picture and this empty carcass would’ve indisputably gone straight to DVD...
Paranoid Park
Now Showing
“Paranoid Park” is just one Teen Angst-movie too many for the filmmaker. And it’s his least entertaining....
Rambo
Now Showing
Although the 60-year-old Stallone is old enough to join the AARP, he’s still got the chops to fill the combat boots of John Rambo. After 20 years of semi-retirement, our favorite Vietnam War veteran still has all the moves....
Rendition

Here’s another film whose ostensibly been pocketed by ‘Where’s Wally’ - because it, like its subjugator, blends in so well with the crowd that there’s next to no chance of singling it out....
Run Fatboy Run
Now Showing
“Run Fatboy Run” is genuinely entertaining – and for once, something that the whole family can enjoy....
Sleuth
Now Showing
When is Hollywood going to learn – hell! Jude Law! – that remaking old Michael Caine movies doesn’t work. They’re like full-cream milk – tasty and ripe initially, but if you return to it a few weeks later, it’s curdled...
Step Up 2 : The Streets
Now Showing
“Step Up” was something you’d seen before, sure, but “Step Up 2 : The Streets” is something you saw just 12 months ago – and done better. No amount of hit tunes can disguise the fact....
The Eye
Now Showing
Another unnecessary remake of a superior Asian film – they make the best noodles and the best horror movies, so give it up yanks!...
The Invasion
Now Showing
Is it the stinker that everyone says it is though? No, it’s not. It has its moments. Check it out on DVD (where perhaps it should’ve went initially in the first place)....
The Jane Austen Book Club
Now Showing
Yes it’s tacky at times, and its quite cheesy (everyone’s lives seem so broken but are fixed rather easily), but this Book Club will give you and mum a chance to get out and spend some time together – and...
The Savages
Now Showing
While it can sometimes gloss over the true horrors of a deteriorative condition like dementia, ''The Savages'' is otherwise an honest portrayal of how people cope with family tragedy in this modern world, where ambition and success too often take...
There Will Be Blood
Now Showing
It’s dark but slick. It’s attainable but invaluable. Talking, of course, about that sought-after commodity Oil but one could easily be referring to Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, ''There Will be Blood''....
Vantage Point
Now Showing
If you’re the type that goes to Subway and orders a foot-long Lettuce on White, you’ll love ''Vantage Point'' – a rather generic thriller that fills the spot, but would’ve been much better served with some meat...
Vantage Point
Now Showing
Remember Brian De Palma's "Snake Eyes" with Nicolas Cage & Gary Sinise? Picture that, but set in Spain - oh, and drop most of the (admittedly weak the first time) character development.......
We Own the Night
Now Showing
Even legendary actor Robert Duvall seemed bland here, his character so cookie-cutter that there was no room for a third dimension...
