Splat 2/5
Nights in Rodanthe (2008)
"You can make a good movie out of schmaltz. This isn’t one of them."
Tomato 4.5/5
Noise (2008)
"What I want from a film is a punch in that emotional gut, and it’s there in Noise. But I don’t want it delivered in a facile fashion, and this certainly isn’t."
Noodle (2007)
"You don’t want to examine the contrivances of plot too closely but all the strands come together in a tense and emotionally satisfying climax. This is a perfect film for audiences who want to avoid confronting cinema."
Tomato 4/5
Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation! (2009)
"I’m not sure how this will appeal to a general public but for those of us who remember the films, Not Quite Hollywood is a blast."
Nowhere Boy (2009)
"The power of these two relationships on John Lennon is beautifully depicted, as is the connection between the young Paul McCartney and Lennon. It’s almost as if the film is bringing to visual life Lennon’s lyrics, ‘Mother, you had me, but I never had you."
