CLOVERFIELD

Producer J.J. Abrams turns yet another genre into a disposable pop culture event. Give yourself over to his dark and mysterious powers, oh seekers of thrill!

FUTURAMA – BENDER’S BIG SCORE

Unlike THE SIMPSONS MOVIE this doesn't feel like a drawn-out episode, it stays fresh throughout and has enough depth and even enough of a plot to keep you glued to the screen. In U.K. stores from Monday!

AWAKE

Possibly the most painful and boring film to hit our screens this year has arrived. Does it have any hidden plot twists? Deep meanings? Stellar Performances? Well... no. But Jessica Alba is in it and she's quite hot.

SON OF RAMBOW

A joyful retort to Shane Meadows THIS IS ENGLAND and a playful accompaniment to the resurgent interest in the heady destruction of the 80's action movies.

STOP-LOSS

It's much like Bush's war - fueled by honest outrage, manned by qualified personnel, and woefully short of any achievable goal.

NEVER BACK DOWN

The unfortunate novelty of Jeff Wadlow’s good-looking but hopelessly shallow fighting flick is not the kinetic MTV inspired scrap sequences but its hilariously homoerotic energy that towers even the heights of the penultimate 80s gay buddy movie TOP GUN.

YOU, THE LIVING

A multinational effort from Swedish writer-director Roy Andersson, YOU, THE LIVING is an offbeat comedy that feels more like a sketch show than a film.

27 DRESSES

27 Dresses is full of cliche, almost a cooking up of 27 other romantic comedies from where those dresses belong and stirred up into one tasteless movie which hasn't got a cent of originality about it.

JUMPER

It's taken over a month before one of my writers could be convinced to see the first big post-STAR WARS movie from Hayden Christensen. Oliver braves it out to the theatre but there was never much hope for this one.
