Review of Che: Part One (2008)

Review of Australia (1989)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 02 Jan 2009

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 02 Jan 2009

Review of The Spirit (2008)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 02 Jan 2009

Review of Yes Man (2008)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 02 Jan 2009

Terence Stamp's cantankerous self-help guru is a movie high point, a subtly comic performance of contrasts between what is practised and preached…

Review of Twilight (1994)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 18 Dec 2008

The essential darkish tone of the movie doesn't entirely cramp out the standard razzle-dazzle of a US high school while its sharp, cool references…

Review of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 11 Dec 2008
