Death Proof
The Death-initive Proof that QT hasn’t completely lost it, despite the unequivocal failure of his pet project Grindhouse, is finally up there on the big screen for all to see. QT = quality time and time again
****

A Mighty Heart
A Mighty Heart is a compelling cinematic offering that is partially undone by some inappropriate “star” casting. Still worth a look.
***

Shoot 'Em Up
Check you sense of disbelief at the cinema door and get ready for the craziest action film you have ever seen.
****

Superbad
Superbad suffers from a chronic case of ironic title syndrome; this is crude comedy at its best.
****

Disturbia
Hitch-lite, but tense suspense flick, that showcases Shia’s astounding acting ability once more.
****

December Boys
You get what you expect from this conventional indie coming-of-age tale, including an increasingly impressive performance from the-boy-who-lived himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
***

3:10 to Yuma
Saddle-up to the cinema to witness this outstanding modern Western.
****

Run, Fatboy, Run
Funny but formulaic, Run, Fatboy, Run never feels like you’re watching a marathon but certainly isn’t a side-splitting sprint either.
***

Atonement
An effective and attractive adaptation that announces a new Brit talent to watch.
