Mother (2009)

" Korean film-maker Bong Joon-ho's fourth feature film, Mother, displays an assurance in suspenseful story telling that is remarkable."

N/A

Tyson (1995)

" A deft combination of Tyson telling his story, his boxing matches and the media view from the day makes this a left-right combo punch that hits the mark for both boxing and documentary fans"

Thirst (2009)

" Thirst is a smart and exotic piece of film-making from one of Asia's leading commercial talents and a quality example of an Asian director exploring a classic genre."

Quiet Chaos (2009)

" Moretti's imposing frame and presence form the heart of this unexpected tale about love, relationships and loss."

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

" There are more problems than ghosts in this charmless romantic comedy in which Matthew McConaughey's Lothario gets a lesson in the love stakes."

N/A

Reckless Behavior: Caught on Tape (2007)

" Uncomplicated escapism, made with the well oiled machinery of Hollywood."

Fresh

N/A

Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach (2008)

" A tad too obvious for my liking but then it's a Sean William Scott movie -- so obviously it's obvious. But as a tennis redemption movie (not too many of them around) it stands out for a sense of gruff fun."

Fresh

N/A

Dead Write (2009)

" Competently made and full of solid performances, Dead Write is an entertaining escape."

The Watch (2008)

" This efficient and tightly made (if slightly flawed) horror-tinged thriller has a terrific young cast and a zesty concept."

Two Fists, One Heart (2008)

" The themes are universal, and the simple (but not simplistic) story is delivered with considerable verve by debuting director Shawn Street and an ensemble cast that makes it zing."

Salvation (2008)

" True to his creative, eccentric and mischievous self, Paul Cox has made another film in which he spins a web of man's own doing, a wry, acidic tale that unmasks televangelists as fakes and moral dwarfs."

Posted Mar 19, 2009

Fresh

N/A

Beautiful (2009)

" Clearer storytelling would bring into focus the various aspects of the film that are scattered throughout with nothing to glue them together."

N/A

The Combination (2009)

" The kind of film Australians should be making more often. Hats off to the entire team and to David Field for his mature and intelligent direction of this gripping and relevant drama."

N/A

I.R.A.: King of Nothing (2006)

" The film is politically incorrect, but will no doubt connect with those who share Bobby's point of view. General audiences will no doubt find it and edgy political thriller."

The English Surgeon (2009)

" This multi-award winning doco is a riveting insight into something that goes on every day within reach of us all, but out of sight and mind."

N/A

Restraint (2008)

" Dave Warner's taut and terrific screenplay gives director David Denneen plenty to work with in this classy, beautifully photographed thriller."

N/A

Rock n Roll Nerd (2008)

" It's Tim Minchin's downbeat, dark and fatalistic sense of humour that comes through in this great doco about his rise from nowhere to somewhere."

Posted Nov 24, 2008

Fresh

N/A

Trainwreck: My Life as an Idiot (2008)

" Tod Harrison Williams directs with a sense of humour that never takes cheap shots but isn't overtly reverential to the author, and the playful tone helps make the film entertaining as well as offbeat."

Posted Nov 18, 2008

N/A

L' Un Reste, L'autre Part (2005)

" Deception is tricky and full of pitfalls, but so is love and we are left to wonder throughout who will be the one to stay and the one to leave?"

RocknRolla (2008)

" A messy, often self-indulgent film with some redeeming features (including some of its humour), Guy Ritchie's crime thriller has above average intelligence, a great cast but a below par story structure."
