Review: Brooklyn's Finest

You'd think for a film that wants to be The Wire quite badly you'd at least let Clay Davis say his catchphrase like the 25th Hour did.

Review: The Losers

If you can switch your brain off and accept that a man can run after being shot in both legs or that someone can blow a plane up whilst standing right next to it without a scratch then you'll enjoy The Losers. Me? I thought after of a load of potential from a snappy start The Losers quickly runs out of steam into a guns and explosion ridden mess that at least sets a low standard for the new A-Team to live up to.

Review: Up In The Air

With echoes of Thank You For Smoking thanks to the story centring around having a Charming/Bastard protagonist in the lead role, Up In The Air also takes its cue from Reitman's other film Juno in not being afraid to be equally sad/moving in places.

This will no doubt be the first of many films dealing with the economic downturn, like the slew of war films from Hollywood hitting the screen now - Up In The Air deserves a lot of credit for its fine performances across the cast (Even Danny McBride dails it down a touch) but the film focused on Clooney being Clooney for too long to deserve all the praise it has gained so far.
