Film Review - Dark Skies

It does a lot that I've seen before- most notably in Signs and Paranormal Activity- but what it does, it does very well. Give me this use-your-own-imagination horror over the likes of Evil Dead's gore-gore-and-more-gore approach any day.

Film Review - All Things To All Men

It's not very often I get the urge to leave the cinema, and this is one of those rare occasions when I should have listened to my instincts and fled. It would be laughably bad if it wasn't so plain bad. It failed to hold my attention, and I could still pretty much map out everything that was going to happen.

Film Review - Trance

More reminiscent in style of Boyle's earlier work, this is a showy, flashy, mind-bending thriller that blurs the edges of reality in a way that is as compelling as it is confusing. I'm sure it's more rewarding on repeat viewings, but I can't imagine myself feeling the urge to see it again any time soon.
