Search: Starring James Marsden

I can’t think of one original thing in this film.

Like the bulls that Papi is so fond of, this film is more interested in careering about causing mayhem than dwelling on details.

Burgundy's ability to survive cockups on an industrial scale is impressive

Headland revels in the comedy of discomfort and keeps the one-liners coming, while still sticking to - and sticking it to - a romance plotline.

Kelly should be praised to the heavens for his willingness to juggle very big ideas and to engage with the thorniest of ethical questions, taking one couple's seemingly straightforward dilemma and transforming it into a crux of apocalyptic dimensions.

No amount of flashy effects can cover the weakness of the story.

A simple idea delivered so cleverly that it holds your attention from the opening of the storybook right up to its fairytale ending.

The twists in the plot have a satisfactory gloss to them, as if the element of surprise is a new cocktail.

Hairspray is a sincere, thoroughly entertaining romp; bursting with boundless energy, inventive choreography and performances that quite simply delight.

Hop is ultimately more accomplished than it might need or reasonably be expected to be.

The cinematography is packaged in a red-ribboned chocolate box, with emphasis on gut-melting sunsets, riverscapes and white birds aflying.

Tarantino's on good form but there are moments in the middle of the 165-minute marathon where it flags before mustering for its finale.

Jake Schreier and scriptwriter Christopher Ford go well beyond the initial fun of the robot conceit to craft a thoughtful film musing on both the ageing process and our relationship with technology.

Mostly harmless.

Unlike many adaptions it does want to have fun, worrying less about being pixel-perfect or po-faced than propulsive plotting.

This new incarnation won't linger in your head like its predecessor, but it remains a hugely affecting and effective experience.

A wonderful movie with a nice clear story, good good guys, bad bad guys, rather special effects . . . really, every department is on top form here.

There have been bad films. There have been terrible films. And then there's Welcome To Me

I'm afraid this can't leap buildings in a single bound, no matter what the hype says.

What's good about director Bryan Singer's approach is that he respects the material and so do the actors. There is not a whiff of parody.

A lot of the scenes seem stilted, or rushed, and there are very few memorable lines.
