Edge of Darkness (2010)

Deeply dark and confusing rain soaked murder investigation starts great then trails off. Mel Gibson tries hard but the script is weak and the concept is dull and unoriginal. 2/5.

The Princess and the Frog (2009)

Disney's new hand drawn feature follows Walt's conventions but this outing is typically predictable and average.3/5

Raging Bull (1980)

Stylishly shot and very real. Confusing sub plots spoil the momentum. I prefer Rocky.4/5

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Tarantino's jewellery heist début lives up to the hype and is very iconic.Maybe not as slick as it's made out and isn't ageing as well as we'd hoped but still very slick and influential. 4/5

Gladiator (2000)

This film is an epic. Amazing acting,story,visuals and soundtrack.It's long but it's close to perfection. 5/5

Daybreakers (2009)

Dark futuristic vampire tale with some good ideas.Slow in parts but generally quite watchable and a decent ending.3/5

Predator (1987)

One of the best action movies of the 80s.Arnie at the height of his career takes on an iconic sci fi monster.Awesome.4/5
