Search: Starring John Goodman

The worse RBTV has to offer could not match the mind numbing stupidity of this caper.

I cannot remember the last time a film made me cry and laugh out loud half a minute later, especially not in public. The Artist did that.

The pace squeezes your windpipe; the action pulverises your senses; the plot double crosses your preconception

Affleck knows how to keep a tight grip on a story, gets better at ratcheting tension with every film, and displays a fearlessness when it comes to mixing genre.

The film has the maverick nature of originality, constantly surprising, never explaining.

There's plenty in Bee Movie for people of all ages.

Nobody plays lazy like Jeff Bridges. You could say he was born to it. Or rather, he's such a good actor he makes it look as natural as an unmade bed.

It's a brave thing for a modern documentary to take on such a technical subject. The issues involved are intelligently yet accessibly addressed.

The movie resembles ER on speed. The hospital... is like a war zone.

You have no idea how enjoyable this is

I can hardly remember a movie more spectacularly ill-timed.

Digger is not a film that invites fence sitting.

It is part of Aussie tradition to kick the livings out of convention, in this case gangster flicks.

Death Sentence is a gritty throwback to the films of the Seventies like Death Wish, and it has you rooting all the way for this ordinary man to dish out his own brand of justice.

Despite all the hard work by the special-effects teams, this is lazy film-making.

The strongest features of the of the film are the performances by Max von Sydow and by Sandra Bullock as Linda, Oskar's mother.

An ambitious plot implodes in the detail.

Self-hatred and lies, stuck on the merry-go-round of never-ending temptations... give Flight its tension.

Deschanel is a very capable actress who has been crying out for the right script, but this isn't it.

Reckless, feckless and, above all, utterly irredeemable.

The fusion of the crime thriller’s grim reality with the otherworldly fantasy of the ghostly confederate army is, for the most part, very effective.

The pace may seem deliberate but the Coens obviously want us to uncover the character's layers gently rather than him being delivered ready-made.

Please Walt, leave the boy alone.

Boggles the mind and stretches credibility to the outer reaches of imagination

What should be a romantic mush cake, with lemon icing and a cherry on top, is treacle pud, with hot fudge and molasses.

Pixar cares enough to choose the best scriptwriters, the best voice talent, the most innovative animators.

It's not that the new crowd aren't fun, but they're a distraction from those of us who would prefer to spend more time with the best buddy double-act in the Pixar universe.

The film becomes a mixture of Dad's Army and The Cockleshell Heroes (without the cockleshells).

Blatently sexist, the film has a centrefold mentality, with violent overtones.

Comic invention rides shotgun on a screenplay that runs wild.

A bit biased.

Overall the characters fail to transcend their archetypes, despite Kodi Smit-McPhee anchoring the film with real emotion.

Somewhere the plot hangs by a thread. All you have to do is find it. But you can't

Billed increasingly as a horror movie, the shifting sands of its tone means it sits uneasily in any category, as Smith flirts with comedy, action and horror without carrying off any of them particularly convincingly.

Too many events in Raising Arizona are so ludicrous and out of place that they contradict the requirements of almost any genre.

What the film does well is to provide an air of sheer unpredictability.

As the shiny roadsters perform death defying stunts to get to the chequered flag, I defy the greenest carphobe not to feel their pulse racing.

Solondz's humour remains dark. His dialogue is always brilliant.

Like the baseball diamond that features so prominently in his film, we all know which base will be dutifully tapped next and that a home-run for the characters is inevitable.

Despite this period being so rich in potential subject matter, this admittedly handsomely mounted, nimble and quite funny film chooses to take a pretty much conventional ride to a victory-lap finish.

This intense, yet sidelong glance at a deeply polarising topic might just give new life to a debate that suffers from political hubris set against rather static public opinion.
