Review of Stone (2012)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 27 Mar 2011

Stone is an unusual film which shifts uneasily between sleaze and philosophy, but it's distinguished at all times by three luminous performances…

Review of Limitless (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 22 Mar 2011

Ironically for a film so keenly centred on the idea of reaching one's own potential, Limitless doesn't nearly begin to realise its own…

Review of The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 21 Mar 2011

The Lincoln Lawyer sees Matthew McConaughey rise from the embers of Hollywood mediocrity like a Phoenix, soaring like he hasn't in years…

Review of London Boulevard (2010)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 21 Mar 2011

It at times dabbles too often in crime cliches - as though written by someone coming off of a Sopranos box-set bender - but it is also uncomfortably…

Review of Ballast (2008)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 20 Mar 2011

This airy, quiet meditation on the struggle of three people to transcend abject poverty and unexpected loss will likely play as too dialled-down…

Review of Let Me In (2010)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 14 Mar 2011

For anyone who can be bothered to read subtitles, it is essentially a pointless endeavour, but Let Me In has a strident regard for what made…

Review of Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 11 Mar 2011

Despite plenty of promise, it's a mirthlessly clichéd, spasmodic mess of editing and direction…

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 10 Mar 2011

For all of its many flaws, anyone who has ever struggled with unemployment will find this to be an incredibly sober work…

Review of Fair Game (2010)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 09 Mar 2011

While on the slick exterior Liman has crafted a gripping thriller, at its core this is as much a romance and paean to the ties of marriage…

Review of Hall Pass (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 08 Mar 2011

I'm sure many people on both sides of the fence will relate to these characters, though they probably won't tell their partners…

Review of The Resident (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 08 Mar 2011

No matter how loud the tension chord, The Resident is funnier than it is frightening…

Review of Battle Royale (2000)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 06 Mar 2011

Review of The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 01 Mar 2011

Blunt and Damon have delightful chemistry, but this is still little more than a derivative, campy B-movie, which would be fine if it was at…

Review of Rango (2011)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 28 Feb 2011

It's ultimately a pastiche-by-numbers and doesn't live up to its full potential, but as a visual treat and one of Depp's better vehicles of…

Review of Howl (2010)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 24 Feb 2011

Howl's biggest triumph, however, is that it never forces the viewer to revere the titular poem beyond its eminent value in testing the limits…

Review of Leaves of Grass (2009)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 22 Feb 2011

Review of Drive Angry (2011)
