3.5/5
Van Helsing (2004) Michelle Thomas Thirteen year old boys will love it. Its bound to make lots of money on its opening weekend, and is open-ended enough for a sequel.

4/5
C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005) Michelle Thomas It's a warm and delightful film, punctuated with sharp wit, and full of possibility.

Khuda Ke Liye (2007) Raam Tarat This is a valiant effort by debutante director Mansoor; a veteran writer / director from TV and lyricist; he makes a commendable first impression. This is thankfully far removed from your typical kitsch Pak-blockbuster.

3.5/5
Yagna (2007) Raam Tarat Set in present day India, the film has a special resonance for today's world, beleaguered by hate and violence born from fanatical belief.

Saawariya (2007) Raam Tarat Bhansali is a brilliant, visually "wow" film-maker.

Bluffmaster! (2005) Raam Tarat Energetic, fruity and fast-paced, Bluffmaster delivers a punch. Not quite a knockout, but it'll go the distance.

4.5/5
Guru (2007) Raam Tarat Mani Ratnam is a master film-maker, in fact, he's probably the best. Definitely the most revered - and India's answer to Spielberg.

Karam (2005) Raam Tarat The film is definitely innovative, but not taut enough to be a thriller, nor engaging enough to work as a drama. The sum of all its' parts producing a disappointingly average outcome.

4/5
Kurbaan (2009) Raam Tarat A chilling yet appropriately tempered and charismatic antidote to your archetypal seasonal fare, Kurbaan is a gripping white knuckle ride that turns at all the right places for the ultimate thrill ride.

The Society Page (2005) Raam Tarat Part social commentary, part dynamic satire - Bhandarkar's take is unrelenting and ruthless, yet thoroughly entertaining.

3.5/5
Waqt: The Race Against Time (2005) Raam Tarat A Bachchan movie through and through, he slaughters Akshay in their scenes together - chewing him up and spitting him out without remorse.

2.5/5
Dus (2005) Raam Tarat Dus has fantastic production values, and is a polished product with a certain panache, but it isn't nearly as clever as it thinks it is.

1.5/5
Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya? (2005) Raam Tarat The film is fun, bright, mindless, yet bubbly and to be appreciated in that vain, if at all. Recommendation: Watch anything else.

4/5
Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2003) Raam Tarat It takes tremendous nerve to produce a movie on female infanticide, especially in as astute and brutal an incarnation such as this.

3/5
Raavan (2010) Raam Tarat Controversial in some aspects (the God factor) but nevertheless something great for the makers to get their auteur teeth stuck into.

1.5/5
Love Aaj Kal (2020) Raam Tarat A valiant effort, but somewhere, somehow, lost in translation.

3/10
Destricted (2006) Michelle Thomas Whatever most of the filmmakers here were trying to achieve, it sheds no light on porn, simply reproducing it at its most trite, stale and unimaginative.
Posted Aug 16, 2017  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Queen of Spades (1949) Coco Forsythe It's beautifully lit and photographed, capturing the decadence of old St Petersburg before the Napoleonic Wars, and creates a wonderful atmosphere of tension in its depiction of a Faustian pact.

Talaash (2012) Raam Tarat [Aamir Khan] manages to tear up the screen every time he appears on it.

Chak De India (2007) Raam Tarat This is exceptionally well written (Jaideep Sahni take a bow), well acted and put together.

Like Stars on Earth (2007) Raam Tarat As is usual for Khan, this movie also has a message -- not just entertaining us, but enlightening us too.

4/5
Ghajini (2008) Raam Tarat As [Aamir Khan] explodes with grief and then just as quickly forgets it, it's touching, emotional, and all too believable. Think amnesia on steroids, via Lee Strasberg.

As Long As I Live (2012) Raam Tarat This is an event movie with the biggest director and box office star coming together for one final huzzah.

2.5/5
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956) Matt McAllister There's little denying that this one of Lang's lesser films, perhaps not helped by the impoverished budget.
Posted Oct 15, 2014  Edit critic review
Oh! What a Lovely War (1969) Mike Barnard This 1969 classic features some top names from movie history, including the late Laurence Olivier and British greats Maggie Smith and Ian Holm, and impressively staged music hall songs.

2.5/5
Turistas (2006) Mike Barnard Under its glossy exterior and claims to be an extreme version, this is a generic and surprisingly tame horror offering.
Posted Aug 12, 2014  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Blue Blood (2006) Michelle Thomas A minority interest at best, yet for the most part director Stevan Riley succeeds in making an accessible and entertaining film about what could potentially be an alienatingly arcane look at Varsity sports.

3/5
World War Z (2013) Raam Tarat The film works mainly on the performances of Pitt, and a strong ensemble cast that lend some credibility to a somewhat disjointed script.
Posted Feb 07, 2014  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Man of Steel (2013) Raam Tarat Despite its excessive running time, and slightly meandering narrative, Man of Steel has definitely earned its place amongst recent comic-book adaptations, standing tall in the DC / Marvel cinematic universe.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Johnny Walker Star Trek Into Darkness still manages to be an even more enjoyable film than its precursor.

4/5
Runaway Train (1985) Matt McAllister A thunderous proto-Speed with exploitation trappings, it also works as an existential art movie with a serious director and a dusted-off Akira Kurosawa script.

4.5/5
Gravity (2013) Mike Barnard Surely there are Oscar nominations for all involved, and Gravity is set to be a classic.

3/5
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) Coco Forsythe It's these impulses of Jackson (amped up action and crass disrespect for the text) that spoiled the film; there's no let up, no pause for breath, no pause even for meals.

4/5
Saving Mr. Banks (2013) Raam Tarat This is an utterly captivating origin story on how the all singing, all dancing, iconic technicolour musical (with bells on) -- Mary Poppins came to be.

3.5/5
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Raam Tarat This is a fantastic exploration of greed, money, and a truly flawed character that spent much of the nineties on a jaw-dropping but pernicious thrill-ride.

Sightseers (2012) Matt McAllister Sick, weird and very funny, it'll be fascinating to see what other genre mash-ups Wheatley has in store over the coming years.

Razzle Dazzle: A Journey Into Dance (2007) Coco Forsythe Uneven, but not unamusing.

9/10
Peeping Tom (1960) Paul Gallagher While Hitchcock's masterpiece is unquestionably the more mainstream and formally groundbreaking of the two films, it's arguable that Peeping Tom is the more thematically profound and insightful work. Just don't expect to feel good after watching it.

The Hunger Games (2012) Michelle Thomas People regularly complain that films can't be both entertaining and clever. The Hunger Games exists to prove them wrong. Please go and see it.

Night of the Living Dead (2006) Mike Barnard This is a remake which isn't trying to make any bold statement or add gloss to an old movie, it's a tongue-in-cheek offering that's fun as you can tell all involved had wry smiles on the face when they made it.

13 Assassins (2010) Mike Barnard Filmed with inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, Takashi Miike delves into his nation's past to create a noble movie that will please fight fans but gives so much more thanks to a compelling story.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) Coco Forsythe Everything comes together; the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk venom, Parseltongue, polyjuice potion, the castle ghosts... there's no fat here.
