‘The Bourne Legacy’ review
The Bourne Legacy is not game changing. It is, however, a well constructed action film with sufficient distance between itself and the original trilogy to enjoy in isolation.

‘The Expendables 2’ review
The Expendables 2 is an outrageously entertaining slice of mayhem and silliness.
‘Brave’ review
Though this somewhat slight film doesn’t quite hold up when compared to the Pixar classics, as a stand-alone venture Brave pretty much hits the mark.
‘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.
