  • Basic (2003)
    Review preview for Basic

    It cheats so blatantly that the early tension, invoked through performance, interrogation and story telling is wasted.

    A Special Forces training exercise in the Panama jungle ends in mystery and murder.
  • Chicago (2002)

  • Equilibrium (2002)

    Equilibrium is that rarest of cinematic entities, a film which succeeds both as intelligent science fiction and as action drama.

    Brave New World by any other name, with Christian Bale as a cop who sees the light.

  • Just A Kiss (2001)
    Review preview for Just A Kiss

    While the film is, indeed, freewheeling, some of us prefer to call it out of control.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2 out of 5
    Farcical romance as three couples become inextricably entwined due to wanderlust.
  • Rent (2005)
    Review preview for Rent

    One of Rent's better-known songs, Seasons of Love, tells us that a year is 525,600 minutes, but believe me, this film seemed an awful lot longer than that.

    Martin Gray · 1 out of 5
    Big-screen adaptation of the award-winning musical.
  • The Way Of The Gun (2000)
    Review preview for The Way Of The Gun

    Some of the language draws blood, as film noir cliches are mocked, or discarded.
