Review of 13 Assassins (2010)

By Andrew Moraitis (5) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 05 Sep 2011

It pounds with blood-drenched action, but director Takashi Miike also offers up a thoughtful exploration of honour and loyalty…

Review of Life in a Day (2011)

By Annette Basile (56) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 01 Sep 2011

With director Kevin Macdonald finding a rhythm among the myriad footage submitted, this honest, funny and touching doco is an incredible achievement…

Review of Final Destination 5 (2011)

By Anthony O'connor (88) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 01 Sep 2011

Final Destination 5 is moderately enjoyable splatter for those in an undemanding mood but never attains any real scares or resonant moments…

Review of The Help (2011)

By Belinda Hazleton (8) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 01 Sep 2011

It's a heartfelt effort and soundly performed, but it doesn't have the depth or nuance to sustain its long running time…

Review of Chalet Girl (2011)

By Belinda Hazleton (8) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 30 Aug 2011

Sure, it's predictable, implausible and clearly skewed toward a young female demographic, but it's also enjoyable escapist fun…

By Joshua Blackman (12) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 24 Aug 2011

This surprisingly whip-smart rom-com gleefully satirises genre conventions and is boosted by the electric on-screen chemistry between its two leads…

Review of Beginners (2011)

By Joshua Blackman (12) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 24 Aug 2011

It does get a bit too cute stylistically, but the easy chemistry between the three leads ensures this adds up to a gentle and often touching charmer…

Review of Conan the Barbarian (2011)

By Erin Free (200) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 14 Aug 2011

Nispel certainly succeeds in making a gutsy, ballsy, bloody action-adventure flick worthy of its central character's towering, archetypal mythos…

Review of The Hedgehog (2009)

By Mark Demetrius (73) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 14 Aug 2011

By Cara Nash (110) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 31 Jul 2011

Employing laborious black-and-white flashbacks in the formulaic second half, Love Crime begins to feel strained, and while there are a handful…

Review of Big Mamma's Boy (2011)

By Jarrod Walker (34) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 24 Jul 2011

While director Franco Di Chiera seems desperate to make the comedy work, it never does due to a derivative script and stilted performances…

Review of Hanna (2011)

By Joshua Blackman (12) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 24 Jul 2011

While the performances are all strong, the real star here is Joe Wright's inspired direction, which transforms this action thriller into a…

Review of 5 Days of War (2011)

By Erin Free (200) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 18 Jul 2011

While it's let down by its reliance on action genre clichés, this remains compelling and thought-provoking throughout…

Review of Beautiful Lies (2010)

By Jenni Dawes (6) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 18 Jul 2011
