  • Blade (1998)
    Review preview for Blade

    Full of visceral action from start to finish, this is a kinetic mix of impressive stunts and inventive shots.

    Stephen Carty · 4 out of 5

  • Blade II (2002)
    Wesley Snipes returns as the half human, half vampire destroyer of evil.
  • Blade: Trinity (2004)
    Review preview for Blade: Trinity

    Blade has no sense of humour - you knew that already - but Snipes is made to look iconic, which means he's a dull date.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 1.5 out of 5
    Comic franchise gets a comedy revamp(ire).
  • Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia (1974)
    Review preview for Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia

    What Peckinpah does so brilliantly in this deceptively clever film is to build elegantly on the established tropes of the genre only to pull the rug from under them half way through.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    When a rich man offers a big reward for the head of the man who impregnated his daughter, an impoverished couple set out on the trail, but the world proves much more brutal than they expected.

    Jennie Kermode · 2 out of 5
    A boy's life is transformed by his friendship with an injured dolphin.
  • Dreamer (2005)
    Review preview for Dreamer

    The story is told without frills and if you find yourself choking with emotion practically all the way through, it doesn't feel faked.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    The story of a racehorse with a broken leg and a little girl who won't give up.
  • Deadfall (2012)

    Documentary about 70s cinema.
  • Fast Food Nation (2006)
    Review preview for Fast Food Nation

    Despite all the blood on screen, Fast Food Nation is a strangely anaemic movie.

    Exposing the beef burger industry as bacteria friendly, with blood in the boardroom and illegals in the slaughterhouse.
  • Girls' Night (1998)

    Bittersweet tale of lifetime pals who go on a blast to Vegas when one is diagnosed with cancer.
  • Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction (2012)
    Review preview for Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction

    The nature of Harry Dean Stanton means that no documentary is ever going to get underneath his skin, yet director Sophie Huber does manage to crack his defensive wall on occasion.

    Robert Munro · 4 out of 5
    A portrait of the actor, with singing.
  • The Jacket (2005)
    Review preview for The Jacket

    Brody's concentrated performance, as a man who may, or may not, be going out of his mind, creates a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that pervades the film.

    A casualty of war returns to a world that appears strange and unreal.

    A man left for dead by his wife, plots his revenge.
  • Planet Of The Apes (2001)
    Review preview for Planet Of The Apes

    It hardly helps having Mark Wahlberg in the lead. As charismatic as seaweed, he creates a new milestone in minimalist acting. It's called not acting.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    Tim Burton's monkeys are revolting.
  • Requiem For Billy The Kid (2006)
    Review preview for Requiem For Billy The Kid

    A treatise on the American Old West, Requiem drips with a kind of nostalgic pathos, richly enhanced by the breathtakingly beautiful photography courtesy of Patrick Ghiringhelli.

    Documentary examining the myth surrounding the death of Billy the Kid.
  • The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea (1976)
