Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 09 May 2012

Review of Marley (2012)

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 19 Apr 2012

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 19 Apr 2012

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 11 Apr 2012

I haven't enjoyed a film as much since The Artist, and this is easily the most fun I've ever had watching a slasher movie…

Review of Wrath of the Titans (2012)

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 28 Mar 2012

Lieberson's direction lacks any sense of geography or light and shade. Nor does he endow the film with the slightest sense of reality…
