Doubt (2008)
5 stars***** The play, Doubt: A Parable, was a great success running for 550 shows and travelling around the world, so it was no surprise when the play was transformed into a movie.

5 stars***** She was good in The Bone Collector, marvelous in Lara Croft; not so great in Mr and Mrs Smith, wonderful again in A Mighty Heart and obviously shouldn’t have been in the movie Wanted.

This is [...]

3 stars*** No, dog lovers, this is not just another dog movie, it’s two stories that become one. It is about a great Labrador dog (Marley) and his (almost) entire life living with, and as a major part, of a loving family. More prominently, it’s about the shifting lives of two single people right through [...]
