Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs(2009)

"Simon Pegg does sterling work as the shell-shocked fuzz ball, bouncing off walls and twitching like a paranoid rodent pinball"

We've always had a fascination for dinosaurs. Perhaps it's because they're the closest thing we've ever had to dragons on the earth, and their sheer size and scale boggles the mind. It's almost impossible to conceive of a creature so big it could flatten your house and yet these things were frigh...

Sunshine Cleaning(2009)

"It's an enjoyable film, even if one doesn't feel wholly satisfying come its conclusion"

Amy Adams is the flavour of the moment - she's been a Disney Princess (Enchanted), a nun (Doubt) and even Amelia Earheart (Night At The Museum 2), so she's had plenty of mainstream success.

Br(2009)

"you'll be both laughing your head off and watching with gob-smacked astonishment"

Looking for Eric(2009)

"It tugs at the very basic of our emotions by mirroring real life situations"

almost didn't get to see this film. It was a bit of a last minute dash to get to the screening.... I tell you what though, I'm really glad that I got to see it. There is an inherent honesty to this film that I haven't experienced for a very long time, and is something that only ever seems to exis...

The Hangover(2009)

"it's nice to see a film that breathes new life into what is essentially an old concept"

There are two kinds of great stag nights in the world: those you won't ever forget and those that push the boat out so far you can't even remember what happened. The Hangover is about the latter, delivering 100 minutes of steady raucous laughter about a bachelor party gone very very wrong.
