April 2007


This is England
This is… Meadows’ masterpiece and the best British film for an age. It’s a must-see, must-love, must-be-moved-by movie. “Sterling”.
****

Reign Over Me
Sweetly sad and touching story of love, loss, grief and friendship that proves beyond doubt Adam Sandler CAN act.
****

Pathfinder
Dumb-but-fun Vikings versus Native American’s tale.
**

Alpha Dog
Alpha Dog in one word: dogshhh…
*

Curse of the Golden Flower
Yet another bloomin’ marvellous wuxia fighting flick from master Yimou.
****

Wild Hogs
More mild than wild, Hogs is humour for the forty-plus-somethings.
**

Sunshine
A flawed, but thrilling and intelligent sci-fi from talented Brit trio Boyle, MacDonald and Garland.
****

Blades of Glory
A sporting satirization that is sometimes side-splitting, but never quite delivers on its exquisite set-up.
