Review: The Hurt Locker

This meditation on the psychology of modern warfare richly deserves its six Oscars. Kinetic, atmospheric and taut with tension, it rises above stupid quibbles about the 'accuracy' or 'bias' of war movies.

Review: The Wolfman

A schlocky, fun and gory mainstream horror flick – just don't expect an illuminating social commentary.

Review: Van Diemen’s Land

A cannibalistic convict film could have gone one of two ways: exploitative horror or existential dread. While Dying Breed chose the former path, Van Diemen's Land wisely chooses the latter.

Review: Ponyo

The latest animated film from Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away) is absolutely gorgeous but only adds to the stereotype of weird Japan. Do characters not need motivations in the land of the rising sun?

Review: Sherlock Holmes

Deep thought is difficult to portray on screen, especially for someone like Guy Ritchie. Therefore, his Sherlock Holmes is a quirky man of action and his blockbuster is a blast.

Review: Zombieland

Funny, touching and hugely enjoyable, Zombieland is a shaggier American take on the now-classic zom-com Shaun Of The Dead.

Review: Where The Wild Things Are

Despite its hipster-baiting, Arcade Fire-propelled trailer, Where The Wild Things Are lacks any real bite.

Review: The Final Destination 3D

Death as cinematic entertainment takes on a cynical and stupid new dimension in the fourth, and hopefully Final Destination.
