Review of Centurion (2010)

Review of How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 31 Mar 2010

Review of I Love You Phillip Morris (2010)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 19 Mar 2010

Review of Case 39 (2009)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 05 Mar 2010

Review of Legion (2010)

Review of The Lovely Bones (2009)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 19 Feb 2010

Review of A Single Man (2009)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 16 Feb 2010

Review of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Post (543) on 16 Feb 2010
