  • Balls Of Fury (2007)
    Review preview for Balls Of Fury

    It's clear that fun was had making Balls of Fury, and, if you're willing to accept its central conceit, it's undoubtedly fun to watch.

    Andrew Robertson · 3.5 out of 5

  • Bridge To Terabithia (2007)
    Review preview for Bridge To Terabithia

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    School friends invent a magic kingdom in the woods.
  • Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
    Review preview for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

    As a visual piece of pop video-influenced whambammery, it is perfectly pitched.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5

  • Firewall (2006)
    Review preview for Firewall

    A creaky thriller with less suspense than Reese Witherspoon and an awards ceremony.

  • Hellions (2014)
    Review preview for Hellions

    There isn’t anything particularly wrong with the direction, which is solid horror fare, but it’s trying to animate a cadaver of a script.

    A young pregnant woman is threatened by malignant children.
  • Jayne Mansfield's Car (2012)
    Review preview for Jayne Mansfield's Car

    Owen Van Spall · 3 out of 5
    Sixties set drama sees a culture clash between two families.
  • Jurassic Punk (2022)
    Review preview for Jurassic Punk

    In contrast to the visions his work gave us, now used in the background of many a documentary, the latter part of this one is very traditionally constructed, mingling direct-to-camera interview with still photographs from his chaotic years.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    Steve ‘Spaz’ Williams is a pioneer in computer animation. His digital dinosaurs in Jurassic Park transformed Hollywood in 1993, but an appetite for anarchy and reckless disregard for authority may have cost him the recognition he deserved.
  • Killer Instinct (2019)
    Review preview for Killer Instinct

    This is a film whose acutely insensitive dialogue shows very little mercy toward any of its characters, but whose actors work hard to claw back a little sympathy amid the misunderstanding and petty cruelties.

    Jennie Kermode · 3 out of 5
    A woman goes to the countryside to spend a quiet weekend after losing her job and having her last complicated relationship implode. She rents a country house to an old-fashioned widower, who struggles to hide his psychopathic tendencies.

    Review preview for Ladder 49

  • The Road Within (2014)
    Review preview for The Road Within

    The clashes between characters give this film plenty of catalysts for interesting discussions, and it is refreshing that these discussions are not framed as anything other than three young adults connecting.

  • Safe House (2012)
    Review preview for Safe House

    The role of Frost, enigmatic, dangerous, with added unfathomable moral compass, is something Washington excels at and can do in his sleep, but he's played that card perhaps too many times for it to seem fresh.

    Owen Van Spall · 2 out of 5
    When a safe house is attacked, a young agent finds himself on the run with the man who was hiding there.

  • Trouble With The Curve (2012)
    Review preview for Trouble With The Curve

    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.

    A Terminator robot comes back in time to protect a boy from another, more advanced killer robot.
  • Waiting... (2005)
    Review preview for Waiting...

    This movie demonstrates in nauseating detail how chefs garnish a dish with excreta and pubic hairs, because a customer has complained too loudly, and you watch them eat it and laugh till you're sick (or should that be the other way round?).

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    Low grade genitalia humour in a restaurant kitchen.
  • Walk The Line (2005)
    Review preview for Walk The Line

    Although the plot is a tired one, Walk The Line avoids hitting any dud notes, thanks to the excellence of the two leads.
