  • Alvin And The Chipmunks (2007)
    Review preview for Alvin And The Chipmunks

    My token seven-year-old sat entranced through the agreeable 90-minute runtime and opined that 'it was really cool'.

    Alvin and the gang try to make it big in the pop industry.
  • Chernobyl Diaries (2012)
    Review preview for Chernobyl Diaries

    An efficient if inauspicious directorial debut with a horror thriller enlivened by spectacularly oppressive location work but hampered by faddish cliches tailored towards its tech-savvy teen target audience.

    David Graham · 2.5 out of 5
    Young holidaymakers get more than they bargain for when they hire an "extreme" tour guide who takes them to the abandoned town where the Chernobyl nuclear reactor employees used to live.
  • Dr Seuss' Horton Hears A Who! (2008)
    Review preview for Dr Seuss' Horton Hears A Who!

    A pleasantly entertaining film which will amuse children without greatly distressing adults. What's unfortunate is that it isn't nearly as entertaining as it ought to be.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    Horton the elephant discovers a tiny world and strives to protect it from those who won't believe in it.
