Review of A Monster in Paris (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 25 Jan 2012

It is clever, quite funny and beautifully animated, with lovely Parisian scenes, though the 3D version is pointless…

Review of Haywire (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 18 Jan 2012

At least it feels fresh to have a kick-ass, intelligent woman in the leading role, who can take on and beat men at their own game…

Review of Margin Call (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 11 Jan 2012

Margin Call is a compelling human drama that isn't just about numbers…

Review of Shame (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 11 Jan 2012

It's very bleak and depressing, especially all the explicit sex, which isn't in the least bit titillating…

Review of The Iron Lady (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 05 Jan 2012

For all its flaws, this is still a remarkable film that is well worth watching for one reason only - the amazing Ms Streep, surely the world's…

Review of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 21 Dec 2011

Exciting, witty and action-packed, this is one of the best MI films. I'd say it was mission accomplished…

Review of The Artist (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 21 Dec 2011

It won't hold everyone's attention, but it's not often that you can hear a pin drop in the cinema…

Review of A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 14 Dec 2011

It's mostly unfunny, stupid and juvenile…

Review of The Deep Blue Sea (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 08 Dec 2011

Performances are very good but I found it hard to feel for the characters, especially as we learn so little about the background to the relationships…

Review of The Thing (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 08 Dec 2011

There are a few tense moments, but the plot is packed full of clichés - imagine, the radio is dead and there's a storm coming…

Review of New Year's Eve (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 08 Dec 2011

New Year's Eve is still laugh-out-loud funny in places and tries to be heartwarming…

Review of Happy Feet Two (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 30 Nov 2011

It has its moments and is certainly not a bad film, but it fails to entertain in quite the same way…

Review of Moneyball (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 23 Nov 2011

Even if you're not at all familiar with the story, this was bound to happen, as they were hardly going to make a film about a losing team…

Review of The Rum Diary (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 16 Nov 2011

It is just disappointing - sadly not interesting or funny enough…

Review of Arthur Christmas (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 16 Nov 2011

True, it does sag a little in the middle, like December 25 often does. But it is guaranteed to get you in a Christmassy mood…

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 09 Nov 2011

Yes, it gets a little melodramatic and nonsensical towards the end, but it's still compelling. I left feeling a little shaken and unnerved…

Review of In Time (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 03 Nov 2011

If time really were currency, I'm not sure I'd use up 109 precious minutes on this - and yet, it's just watchable enough to not be a complete…

Review of Machine Gun Preacher (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 03 Nov 2011

If I didn't know that this was based on real events, I wouldn't believe it. At least not the way the story is told in this film…
