Safehouse (2012 movie)
4 stars**** David Guggenheim has penned an excellent screenplay in safe house. The manner in which he keeps the audience thinking about which members of the CIA are working against their colleagues maintains the level of intrigue to the final scene. Unfortunately, the safe house is the least safe house in the whole of South [...]

3 stars*** Seeing the logo from Working Title films, you know instantly that you’re about to see a quality movie, so why is this the first Working Title film to be simply satisfactory with no great power? So what’s it all about? To protect his brother-in-law from a drug lord, a former smuggler heads to [...]

20. February 2012
Have you and your friends booked your seat for this year’s show - 4:00 p.m. PST, 7:00 p.m. EST ? You will have seen The Artist winning the main picture awards around the globe, but is it really the best movie of the past year? Many of the critics agree that it is the best of recent times.

If you are one of the 65 million who have read Steig Larsson’s trilogy, there is a very good chance you will have already seen the first book’s movie, in Swedish, either dubbed into English or with English subtitles. You were probably worried about Hollywood getting its hands on the stories for fear of total ruination. You need not fear, they did quite a good job. So what’s it all about?

27. December 2011
The generous cast list might draw you to this movie, but the dolphin and the boy steal the scenes so consistently, the celebrity names weren’t required. If you like tears with your movies, then this Dolphin Tale is the best two hours of 2011.

27. December 2011
Modern American society should be ashamed that a movie like The Help needs to be made. Showing when history went down a dreadful tunnel and that spirit cannot be broken, this well made movie should make you pick up the book (or your Kindle) and read for greater detail.

15. December 2011
The British teen comedy had proved to be a sensation in its thirty minute television regular slot. Unfortunately, over ninety minutes it loses its quick biting punch and although the jokes are there, a feeling of blandness creeps in. I so wanted to enjoy this movie after the television series, but found it was only just watchable.

16. September 2011
The excellent Kierston Wareing continues to shine as this movie, The Holding, is less horrific and less gory than you’d expect, (you see the action, but not in graphic detail – the camera moves on after you know what happens) which bodes well for this thrilling drama. Initially on a small distribution release aiming at the opinion of the Nottingham and Derby people in England (why them specifically?) what appears to be a slow start lulls you into a sense of oncoming doom, which duly appears in startling fashion just ten minutes in.

9. September 2011
The original 1971 movie Straw Dogs shocked the world’s audiences with the violence on screen. More to the point, the personal issues raised in the film stand today; those of how women are treated as second class citizens in some zones.
Continue reading...Page Eight (2011 movie)
5. September 2011
The cast list tells you this is going to be good and when that’s mixed with the writer, you know you’re on to a winner. The only disappointment with Page Eight is the length; it could have been three hours as opposed to one hundred minutes and every minute would have been as thoroughly entertaining.
