Review of Black Swan (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

Review of Biutiful (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

By focusing on Uxbal, González Iñárritu slowly sinks through each layer of this single person...It is rare in film to be given the opportunity…

Review of Inside Job (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

Review of 13 Assassins (2010)

Review of Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

Unfortunately, as a whole, the film does not quite succeed. This is disappointing, as Anderson has proved in his previous work how original he can be…

Review of Stake Land (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

Essentially a far-better-than-average B-movie, slick in presentation and able to keep up a steady pace…

Review of The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman (2011)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

Review of Bunraku (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

The pace drags and the twists and turns and subplots are unnecessary and annoying…

Review of The Silent House (2010)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 14 May 2018

The claustrophobia extends out into the audience; I can't remember the last time a film made that many viewers jump so many times…

Review of Paul (1974)

By Shelagh Rowan-Legg (77) for Dork Shelf (109) on 13 May 2018

Again, Paul is a very good film, and could certainly be enjoyed by a large audience; but like Chinese food, it will likely be forgotten not…
