Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) 54% “Overstays its welcome at 133 minutes. All four lead actors play their parts admirably, but the story lacks the zing of the original.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Sep 21, 2010 Full Review Going the Distance (2010) 54% “I'm surprised Barrymore and Long signed up for this gig. Perhaps the chance to work opposite each other was too irresistible. Either that, or the million-dollar pay cheques.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Aug 30, 2010 Full Review Salt (2010) 62% “Salt is rather like a Tom Cruise film -- think Mission: Impossible or Minority Report.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Aug 16, 2010 Full Review Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) 83% “Writer-director Edgar Wright has created a pop art feel to his latest work and it is sure to polarise viewers. I liked the effect. I loved the film.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Aug 16, 2010 Full Review Animal Kingdom (2010) 94% “The characters are compelling, the actors perfectly cast. The screenplay is fairly slow but it never loses your attention.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Jun 2, 2010 Full Review StreetDance (2010) 78% “It's just what you'd expect from this kind of film. And, if you're impressionable like me, you'll walk out of the cinema with a spring in your step and groove to your gait.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) May 25, 2010 Full Review Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) 37% “If you enjoyed Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, another video game made into a blockbuster, then you'll probably enjoy this epic action-adventure. Similar kind of shtick.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) May 25, 2010 Full Review Iron Man 2 (2010) 72% “At times it is hard to decipher what's what and who's who, and the storyline does venture into boring town, but the explosive action and comic relief make it watchable.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) May 6, 2010 Full Review Kick-Ass (2010) 78% “Based on the comic of the same name, Kick Ass combines elements of superhero films, dark comedies and strong action flicks, and it does them extremely well.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Apr 14, 2010 Full Review The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) 51% 3/5 “The film meanders in a nonsensical way and never reaches a satisfactory conclusion. It's got a Coen Brothers edge to it and will leave many viewers scratching their heads.” – Courier Mail (Australia) Mar 2, 2010 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (2010) 50% 3/5 “Wasikowska is a standout in the title role. And, as to be expected, Depp thrives as the Mad Hatter.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Mar 2, 2010 Full Review A Single Man (2009) 86% 2.5/5 “Firth is the standout. While it's no surprise his performance has earned him a Best Actor Oscar nod, the film itself is not nearly as powerful as it should have been.” – Courier Mail (Australia) Feb 23, 2010 Full Review The Blind Side (2009) 66% 3.5/5 “The film is also up for an Oscar but will surely fall into the "it's an honour just to be nominated" category. Still, it's an enjoyable film and arguably Bullock's best.” – Courier Mail (Australia) Feb 23, 2010 Full Review Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire (2009) 92% 4/5 “I felt ill at ease every time Precious arrived home and I can only imagine how those unfortunate souls really living this life must feel. It's heartbreaking stuff.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Feb 1, 2010 Full Review Invictus (2009) 77% 4/5 “Quirks of accents aside, Invictus is an uplifting film. Its African-inspired soundtrack is spot on, too. So, go ahead -- it'll make your day.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Jan 17, 2010 Full Review Bran Nue Dae (2009) 56% 4/5 “Bran Nue Dae, much like the Bible, wraps up with a good many revelations, and offers the viewer a fun, upbeat and feel-good movie-going experience. Hallelujah!” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Jan 13, 2010 Full Review Broken Embraces (2009) 82% 2.5/5 “Broken Embraces is Almodovar on autopilot.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Dec 14, 2009 Full Review 9 (2009) 57% 3/5 “Visually impressive, symbolic and mostly entertaining.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Dec 7, 2009 Full Review 2012 (2009) 40% 3.5/5 “This movie is a disaster. At least it would be if it didn't fall into the "so bad it's good" category.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Nov 8, 2009 Full Review Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) 74% 3/5 “As usual, Moore is a man who wants answers, which makes for a good documentary. It is a fascinating, albeit terribly lopsided, insight.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Nov 5, 2009 Full Review The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) 64% 3/5 “The script could have done with a little more work and the story loses its way more than once, but the weird and wonderful world Gilliam and Ledger have created is worth a peek.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Oct 25, 2009 Full Review Departures (2008) 80% 3.5/5 “Departures is a great film and, yes, you're going to need your reading glasses -- this one is subtitled.” – Sunday Mail (Australia) Oct 11, 2009 Full Review Van Diemen's Land (2009) 75% 2.5/5 “The film is at times tasteless and unpalatable but the screenplay, based on four confessions Pearce gave after his capture, has a certain level of interest to it.” – Courier Mail (Australia) Sep 22, 2009 Full Review The Soloist (2009) 57% 3/5 “Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx are highly convincing. Problem is, the film lets them down. It is not as powerful or moving as it could -- and should -- have been.” – Courier Mail (Australia) Aug 30, 2009 Full Review The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) 51% 3/5 “Ultimately, this is not a great train-robbery film -- but hey, in the whole scheme of things, it's not a bad one, either.” – Courier Mail (Australia) Aug 23, 2009 Full Review
