Miami Vice
Ricardo Tubbs (Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy, as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders. Sonny Crockett (Farrell) [to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally, he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious. » read more
Millions Film Review
Having started his career as loveable cheeky chappy Adam Williams in Cold Feet, James Nesbitt has gone from strength to strength in a series of high profile roles. In Millions he proves that he is more than a television actor. The quirky one-liners and characteristic Northern Irish brogue have gone and he plays a devoted father who is trying to come to terms with the loss of his wife and deal with life as a lone parent. » read more
Sideways Movie Review
In a recent interview director Alexander Payne lamented the fact that so many films of the modern era have “eschewed humanity for slickness” and he also expressed his desire to make films that examine the everyday struggles of what he termed “flawed people”. It should come as no surprise then that Payne’s latest cinematic offering introduces us to two of these less than perfect people and allows us to follow them as they each endure different kinds of mid- life crises. » read more
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
It's year three of Harry Potter at Hogwarts and the formula is very much in place. The running time is long, the sets and locations are grand, the effects impressive and the adult cast is a who's who of respected British actors. But a few things are different: the tone is darker and there's a new director bringing much needed life to the franchise. » read more
Van Helsing
What do you get if you cross Hugh Jackman, Stephen Sommers and $150 million? Answer: the worst film of the year so far. There is very little done right in this poorly written and directed mess. Sommers may still be seen as the golden boy at Universal for the Mummy films but that's about to change. » read more
Bloom
In Bloom, Sean Walsh undertakes the gargantuan task of adapting Joyce's Ulysses to the screen. After a ten-year odyssey of his own in bringing Bloom to the public, Walsh's timing with Bloomsday's centenary this June is fortuitous. Leopold Bloom (Stephen Rea), strolling through the streets of Dublin, takes us wandering in his thoughts - his wife Molly's adultery, his son's premature death, his bowel movements, all interspersed with idle fantasies. » read more
Kill Bill Volume 2
So here we are- the end of the road for Uma Thurman's Bride. Does she survive? Does she Kill Bill? Will you care?

Yes and no. » read more
21 Grams
Our bodies are exactly 21 grams lighter when we die. Whether or not this proves that the soul exists, director Alejandro González Iñárritu does not venture an answer, but 21 Grams abounds in spiritual questions, as it takes a good look at life, death, loss and hope. The first half-hour of 21 Grams consists of a mêlée of scenes in which we find out snippets about the three principal characters, Paul (Sean Penn), Christina (Naomi Watts) and Jack (a particularly dishevelled and disgruntled looking Benicio Del Torro). » read more
The Missing
Remember Ron Howard, aka goofy Richie Cunningham from Happy Days? Well, he shed his actor's guise, donned the director's cap and has been making movies ever since. The Missing is just the latest output from a prolific list of works, such as Splash, Willow, Apollo 13, Ransom, EDTv, A Beautiful Mind... The Missing is a curious mixture of genres - it blends the thriller and the western, with an unconventional ingredient: a strong female lead role. » read more
