REVIEW: Rango
Monday, March 28th, 2011
Surprisingly not presented by a well-known animation company, Rango shows that its independent flourish of originality is on a par with the big studio contenders. Possibly the best animation this year so far, Rango is a little bit of what you know muddled up with the enigmatic. A creation to be proud of, it’s surely a work worth the box office success it’s receiving.

REVIEW: Tamara Drew
Sunday, October 17th, 2010
The loved by many, little known by many more, graphic novel ‘Tamara Drew’ is brought to life with the lovely Gemma Arterton in the role of the title character. The story comes from a Guardian newspaper strip and so the film contains a more intellectual angle of comedy than normal. Based in a small town in the English countryside it’s very easy to see it’s critical relation to the beloved radio programme ‘The Archers’, and as a fellow critic recently commented, it’s like that but with sex and violence. In other words, ‘Tamara Drew’ is a really absorbing melodrama with lots of gossip factor, and that’s what the original comic intended.

REVIEW: Piranha 3D
Saturday, September 18th, 2010
From the trailers and teasers online you think you know exactly what you’re paying to see. That sort of B-movie popular in the 90s, with more gore and carefree nudity thrown in, the sheer audacity of Piranha is reeling in audiences worldwide.

REVIEW: Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky at the QFT
Friday, September 3rd, 2010
As the closing film for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, ‘Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky’ received lots of attention and thankfully lives up to the hype. Anna Mouglalis is a familiar face, the muse of Karl Lagerfield and model of Chanel campaigns, and thus suitably plays Chanel. Based on a novel by a school teacher, this steamy affair finds itself placed just after Audrey Tatou’s memorable performance in ‘Coco Before Chanel’ on the biographical timeline. Two huge artistic icons, of fashion and music, they are a fascinating couple. Their likeminded passions make this film feel like more of an exposé of their lives. It’s a wondrous joy for fans of dark romances and of the pair of characters.

REVIEW: The A-Team
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
This summer saw a full length feature version of the cult classic TV series The A-Team come to every screen in tune with Hollywood. With such a following of those who have watched and grown up watching, it was hard to imagine how director Joe Carnahan ( ‘Smokin’ Aces’) could do fans the justice they deserved. Fortunately, due to an amazing cast of leading actors, no-one will feel they’ve been robbed by ticket prices.
