Review of Inglourious Basterds (2009)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Bridesmaids (2011)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

We're all for this kind of brave risk-taking, in theory. If only the results turned out to be, uh, what's the word...better…

Review of Taken (2004)

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Prometheus is one of those big ruined films that are worth talking about in terms of how it got ruined, and how it might've been saved…

Review of A Serious Man (2009)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of The Warrior's Way (2010)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of The Dark Knight (2008)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Eileen Jones (139) for The eXile (94) on 24 Oct 2018
