Dark Night Review

Dark Night is rigorously framed and edited, but it offers the illusion of complexity rather than the real McCoy.

TV

Training Day Season 1 Review

Training Day is a crushingly dreadful police procedural that does a disservice to the excellent film it's based on.

iBoy Review

iBoy, which is now on Netflix, is a fully charged superhero tale that soon overcomes its admittedly ludicrous premise. Don't skip this one!

T2 Trainspotting Review

It's been twenty years since Ewan McGregor's Mark Renton strolled across Waterloo Bridge, £16,000 stolen from his best friends slung over his shoulder, explaining that he was going to "choose life." Now, he's back and it's time to see if he lived up to his words in the awkwardly named T2 Trainspotting.

A Patch Of Fog Review

A Patch of Fog mostly overcomes a somewhat tired narrative structure through masterful tension building and a smattering of intelligent psychology.

The Eagle Huntress Review

Feminist by nature rather than design and consistently visually dazzling, The Eagle Huntress is top flight documentary cinema.

Coin Heist Review

Coin Heist is like Oceans 11 meets The Breakfast Club, but minus the charm, character and ambition.

Son Of Joseph Review

Son of Joseph is an unquestionably smart, good-looking film, but I appreciate it more than I enjoyed it.
