Review of Watchmen (2009)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 06 Mar 2009

[Snyder] seems only half aware that every adaptation must be some kind of betrayal - or remain a shadow of its source, like a pattern sketched…

Review of Frozen River (1929)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 20 Feb 2009

Review of The Spirit (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 13 Feb 2009

Review of Gran Torino (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 22 Jan 2009

Interpreted by another director, Nick Schenk's script might have been merely a sentimental fable of a grinch redeemed…

Review of Hotel for Dogs (2009)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 22 Jan 2009

The images are cluttered and murky, the comic rhythms falter, and the adult humans in the cast, including Lisa Kudrow and Don Cheadle, seem…

Review of The Black Balloon (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 12 Jan 2009

A writer-director portrays life with an autistic brother to heartwarming effect…

Review of Marley & Me (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 02 Jan 2009

Wilson may always appear a little too flaky to be bankable as a romantic lead, but set Aniston aside and this could be the purest love story…

Review of Spirit of the Marathon (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 07 Nov 2008

In its more tranquil stretches, Spirit of the Marathon might be mistaken for a feature-length sneaker advertisement, but if you're looking…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 31 Oct 2008

Rockwell's performance is so artificial it's as if we're invited to look past all the tics to the real human being who might be lurking beneath…

Review of Brideshead Revisited (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 23 Oct 2008

Review of The View from Greenhaven (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 23 Oct 2008

Whimsical Australian fable with the soul of a tourist brochure…

Review of Body of Lies (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 09 Oct 2008

Some show is made of plunging the viewer into a dense cloud of moral ambiguity, but this is mostly smoke and mirrors: while the American heroes…

Review of Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 25 Sep 2008

Brevig does a barely competent job of imitating the Indiana Jones movies, and seems more hindered than helped by his chosen format…

Review of Step Brothers (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 18 Sep 2008
