Review of X-Men: First Class (2011)

By Jon A (725) on 19 Jul 2014

Very well done, so much so that it's hard not to pull for Magneto. Hugh Jackman still gets the best moment…

Review of The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

By Jon A (725) on 19 Jul 2014

Entertaining enough, with fine performances. But the sci-fi element feels a little contrived and simple…

Review of We Are What We Are (2013)

By Jon A (725) on 10 Apr 2014

Review of The Invention of Lying (2009)

By Jon A (725) on 10 Apr 2014

Starts off OK, but overall the ridiculous premise just doesn't make any sense. And the 2nd half has very few laughs…

By Jon A (725) on 20 Mar 2014
