  • Death At A Funeral (2007)
    Review preview for Death At A Funeral

    For farce to work well, the plotting needs to be watertight, whereas here the sheer excess of characters fails entirely to cover up this film's flimsy underpinnings.

    Anton Bitel · 2 out of 5
    Funeral farce.
  • The Enfield Haunting (2015)

  • Incendiary (2008)
    Review preview for Incendiary

  • Robin Hood (2010)
    Review preview for Robin Hood

    The film is at its strongest in the scenes between Crowe and Blanchett, as Marion - both no-nonsense in attitude - as they spar verbally and bring some much-needed humour to the discourse.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    Robin goes back to his roots before the hood.
