NEW REVIEWS - February 2010
Coffin Rock
"if the film touches on melodrama towards the climax, you sort of forgive it"
Ed Byrne: Different Class - Live
"takes observational humour to a new level with his left-field delivery of punch-lines"
An Englishman In New York
"an intensely likeable and, at times, beautifully written piece of work"
Escape From The Bronx
"it does lose some of the jaw-dropping weirdness of the first film"
Hannie Caulder
"I'm not sure the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
Hatchet For The Honeymoon
"complete twaddle, veering wildly between the vacuous and the pretentious"
Heart Of Fire
"an entertaining, educational, thought-provoking and often heart-breaking film"
Import Export
"shows life on the margins of the bright new Europe we've created"
It Could Happen To You
"a certain quality of urban fable, adding considerable charm to the romantic fiction"
Misfits - series one
"blends gritty realism with the fantastic, and witty, foul-mouthed comedy with drama"
The New Barbarians
"Why don't all films have a headless corpse riding a motorbike?"
1990: The Bronx Warriors
"Castellari's eccentricities do add a certain charm"
No Way Back
"there's a noteworthy effort here to create a lively cult movie"
Russell Howard: Live Dingledodies
"energy is abundant and at times his jokes very observational and incisive"
Secrets Of Sex
"not one of the sets really convinces, and the acting is mostly poor"
Street Trash
"There's something gloriously, brilliantly... renegade about this film"
Whiplash
"an overlooked track of early 1960s British television juvenilia"
Zodiac
"the fact that it failed to stretch to a second series is no great disappointment"
RETRO VIEWING
The Damned
"a genuinely disturbing, politically provocative anti-nukes SF conspiracy thriller"
The Earth Dies Screaming
"zombies are among the most effective elements in the film"
