‘The Dark Knight Rises’ spoiler-free review

If it’s not better than The Dark Knight, it’s at least as good. And that cements Nolan’s Batman series as among the finest trilogies the cinema has ever seen.

‘Ted’ review

Much like a two-hour long episode of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane’s new offering Ted is a blend of the hilarious, the offensive and the downright lazy.

‘The Chernobyl Diaries’ review

For a film so blatantly designed to be provocative, Bradley Parker’s The Chernobyl Diaries is a shockingly dull affair.

‘Lovely Molly’ review

A dedicated cast, authentic characterisation and a couple of genuinely terrifying moments lift Eduardo Sánchez’s horror from exploitative slasher into bone-jolting thriller.

‘The Innkeepers’ review

If you think the idea of someone with a sheet over their head in a haunted hotel is more laughable than scary then think again.

‘Killer Joe’ review

Killer Joe is on the comical end of the crime-drama spectrum. That said, comedy doesn't get much blacker than it does here.

‘The Pact’ review

An intriguing opening and a surprising finale cannot quite save The Pact from the tacky realms of ‘70s shlock horror.

‘Rock of Ages’ review

You can deliberate over whether Rock of Ages is paying tribute to or poking fun at the music featured. But to do so would be to over analyse.

‘Fast Girls’ movie review

Already nicknamed ‘Sprint it like Beckham’ in some quarters, this is one British feel-good film we can all rally around even if we don’t do well in the Olympics this summer.

‘Prometheus’ review

There are a lot of ideas and flourishes floating around in Prometheus – too many, in all honesty – and as a result the film lacks focus at times.
