The Vow
A saccharine and paint-by-numbers slice of romance, which is largely boosted by the appeal of its two leads.

Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace (3D)
The under-utilised 3D adds little to this prequel, which only serves as a sore reminder of the brilliance of the original films.
Film
Any Questions For Ben?
The talented bunch of actors ably cut through the surface gloss, but it’s tough to remain invested in the plight of the self-absorbed lead.
Film
Shame
It starts off as brutal but arresting stuff, and the two lead performances are scorching, but disappointingly dissolves into a case of tragedy for the sake of tragedy.

Let down by its illogical “found footage” approach, this remains an impressively compelling ride, which has more in line with classic storytelling than current fads.
Man On A Ledge (Film)

While Worthington doesn’t quite match the talent of his top-notch co-stars, this admittedly implausible but impressively dynamic thriller is exciting stuff.

Underworld Awakening (Film)

The return of Kate Beckinsale and the cracking serve of action should keep fans satisfied, but the visual effects leave a lot to be desired.
J. Edgar (Film)

Despite a brilliant performance by Leonardo DiCaprio, this unfocused biopic strangely, and disappointingly, steers clear of the controversy.
