  • The Hide (2008)
    Review preview for The Hide

    This is a film of double-entendres, innuendos and equivocal nuances, where words, looks and gestures alike are made to resonate with confounding ambiguity.

    Anton Bitel · 4 out of 5
    Masculinity and menace create a heady mix when two strangers meet in a bird hide.
  • The Inbetweeners: Series 1 (2008)
    Review preview for The Inbetweeners: Series 1

    The Inbetweeners is indisputably a very funny experience, with killer lines and creative insults coming thick and fast.

    Stephen Carty · 4.5 out of 5
    The exploits of four friends, who are socially only marginally above what one of them calls "the freaks", are presented as they grow from their late teen years into adults and as they go on their quest, usually unsuccessfully, for such grown up things as beer and sex.
  • The Inbetweeners: Series 2 (2009)
    Review preview for The Inbetweeners: Series 2

    The Inbetweeners' real strength (and reason for watching) remains the accuracy with which it paints teenage existence in British suburbia.

  • The Inbetweeners: Series 3 (2010)
    Review preview for The Inbetweeners: Series 3

    Slightly more broad and over-the-top than before, but still well observed and one of the sharpest, funniest comedies on the box.

  • Pitch Black Heist (2011)
    Review preview for Pitch Black Heist

    Shot in lush, vivid black and white, the film carries a sense of age and expectation.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    Two men team up to rob an office safe but they must work around a light-triggered alarm system.
  • Tuesday (2008)
    Review preview for Tuesday

    Bennett gives the film a polished look that belies its low budget.

    Steve Harwood · 3 out of 5
    Heists collide as a bank is simultaneously targeted by different sets of thieves.
  • The Wind In The Willows (2006)
    Review preview for The Wind In The Willows

    There is a certain hollowness about this production that reduces it to a lightweight comedy.

    Natasha Footman · 3 out of 5
    Live action retelling of Kenneth Grahame's children's novel about the adventures of Ratty, Badger, Mole and Toad.
