Doing exactly what he does best, Jason Statham delivers the body count numbers that matter in this re-imagined and re-tooled 1972 Charles Bronson action revenge flick. The action is bloody and high-spirited and the dialogue is low, making...

A Mike Leigh film: people; situations; reactions; misery as a by-product of happiness. In examining his entire scope of work, from 1988’s emotion-packed High Hopes to the latest little unassuming masterpiece, Another Year, it becomes crystal clear that the British filmmaker has an incredibly captivating way of turning the least significant of human interactions into a momentous movie event.
There’s a bit of cruel irony at play in The Roommate, Christian E. Christiansen’s debut film in which its lead character Sara (Minka Kelly) plays an aspiring designer who moves to L.A. to get her college degree in fashion design...

The spy genre has been around in force since the 60s, so its popularity has never been drawn into question. What has been, especially in recent times, is what more can be said about that particular topic...
Frustrating is the word that comes to mind after sitting through this latest attempt to lift Australian cinema out of its doldrums, away from the usual indie-fair, and to a more mainstream, international audience...
Unknown wants to be an edge-of-your-seat thriller. It wants to recapture the glory of Taken and The Bourne Identity and even grabs at some basic Hitchcockian themes. Unfortunately, it never lives up to what...
Woody Allen’s creative second wind continues in the sails of his latest overseas production. Leaving Manhattan once again, after the ill-received Whatever Works (a film that should have worked a lot better than it actually did)...
Leave it to Orson Welles to tackle the subject of continued fascism after WWII. Never one to shy away from topicality, left-wing minded Welles directs The Stranger, after stroking the coals of paranoia and isolation with unapologetic opening...
