A recent brace from the Duke of York's: The Future - the trailer deemed it to be a whimsical and entertaining film about a relationship after a mid-thirties couple decide to adopt a cat, the reality was that it was one of the most depressing and grating films I've seen. Writer, director and...

My mistake :facepalm:

The Guard Following on from his last film, the surprisingly superb In Bruges, Martin Mcdonagh directs another bleak comedy, this time set in a sleepy outpost in the west of Ireland. Brendan Gleeson is outstanding in his lead role of bumbling bobby Doyle, who is caught between a rock and hard...

The Inbetweeners Deceptively good and by no means the Kevin & Perry-esque cash-in I had expected. I don't think I'll laugh so much at another film all year. My favourite thing about the film and the series as a whole is the way the writers chose to continually punish the characters all the way...

The Way Adapted and directed by Emilio Estevez, this poignant, slow-paced film charts the journey of an estranged father (played by none other than his actual old man, Martin Sheen) who upon discovering upon the news of his son's untimely death in the Pyrenees, decides to carry on where his son...

The Hangover Part II Relied way too heavily on continuity jokes from the well-executed first film. A couple of good gags, but that was about it. Rather underwhelming. 4.4 Senna Even if you are not an F1 fan, there is so much to take out of this film and learn about the man and the...

Hanna The action scenes were good, the industrial electro soundtrack complimented the film well, but there weren't really any twists in the film and it seemed to just run its inevitable course. As Meade's Ball has said, Hanna, Bana and Blanchett made it more watchable, and Tom Hollander was...

Submarine IT Crowd star Richard Ayoade's full-length directorial debut all about an oddball welsh teenager, Oliver, and the events of his first love coinciding with the disintegration of his parents' marriage. A bittersweet film, at times amusing and at others poignant and slightly...

Biutiful Just like director Inarritu's previous three films (Babel, 21 Grams and Amores Perros), it has very sad and sobering themes. Set in industrial Barcelona and centered around Uxbal (played by the brilliant Javier Bardem, who in this film looks a bit like what Inigo Calderon might look...

Sorry, but I can't agree with you here TLO. I thought Riley's character acting seemed far more reflective of the desperate-yet-evil Pinkie from Graham Greene's novel as opposed to Dickie Attenborough's posh-boy-turned-street-urchin in the original film. I found it a likeable version of Brighton...

This. Couldn't put this better myself (and to be fair, who can?). A cleverly-crafted screenplay (imagine if Richard Curtis had got his hands on this, it would have been almost certainly abysmal and trite rubbish), with tremendous performances from the three main members of the cast. Really...
