Iron Man 3
For the most part, Shane Black's spin on 'Iron Man 3' is a triumph - a fun, exciting and inventive summer blockbuster that disguises its inherent genre trappings and cliches by opting for a fresh approach...
The Place Beyond The Pines
A small town domino-effect crime saga of epic proportions, 'The Place Beyond the Pines' unfolds at bracingly close range via stellar direction and award-calibre acting.

A Late Quartet
Yaron Zilberman's debut feature film combines the wonderful talents of Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Ivanir who play off each other's performing styles with expert...
Stoker

Latest DVD and Blu-ray reviews
The Murderer Lives at 21
Both thrilling and hilarious, 'The Murderer Lives at 21' is a masterpiece up there with any of Hitchcock's glossiest classics. Seek it out.
The Complete (Existing) Films of Sadao Yamanaka
Three of Sadao Yamanaka's films (including the classic 'Humanity and Paper Balloons') make up this new box set from the Masters of Cinema range. Japanese cinema lovers will cherish it.
Trouble With the Curve
'Trouble With the Curve' is a good, if unspectacular, sports drama that benefits greatly from the chemistry between stars Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams.
West of Memphis
An absorbing documentary on the flaws of the American justice system, 'West of Memphis' is an eye-opener.
Les Miserables (2012)
With enough grit to convert even the most steadfast of glossy musical haters, Tom Hooper's 'Les Miserables' is a raw triumph.
Side by Side
A movie documentary for the ages, 'Side by Side' offers an intelligent and accessible glimpse into the film versus digital debate. Highly recommended.
Billy Liar
A delicious cocktail mixed by writer Keith Waterhouse, director John Schlesinger and stars Tom Courtenay and Julie Christie, this remains a vital indulgence of British cinema.
The Great Gatsby (1974)
Jack Clayton's 1974 solid, stately adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's immortal novel feels stodgy despite Robert Redford's underrated command of the complex lead role.
Jack Reacher
A superior thriller that expertly balances wit and brutality, 'Jack Reacher' is a promising new franchise for Tom Cruise.
Baron Blood
Mario Bava's 'Dracula'-style haunted house mystery has lashings of atmosphere that gleefully mask a lack of subtlety.
Bakumatsu Taiyô-Den
Until now unheard of in the West, 'Bakumatsu Taiyô-Den' is a true Japanese classic both funny and historically anchored. Discover it now on the Masters of Cinema's gorgeous Blu-ray transfer.
Evil Dead II
The ultimate in cult horror, Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead II' is accomplished, inventive and dazzling. Bursting with groovy extras, the Blu-ray warrants the upgrade.
Pitch Perfect
Despite more montage scenes than every 'Rocky' combined and a predictable conclusion, cliched musical comedy 'Pitch Perfect' still hits all the right notes thanks largely to Anna Kendrick's glowing lead...
Blood Simple (Director's Cut)
'Blood Simple' is the lurid little thriller that marked the Coen Brothers' introduction to the film world. Now it's back and even better.
Seven Psychopaths
'In Bruges' writer/director Martin McDonagh and star Colin Farrell reunite with less spectacular but still wonderfully vivid results.
The Servant
It's hard to believe that Joseph Losey's seminal 'The Servant' is half a century old. With a Pinter script and Bogarde in the lead, this is a key film of swinging 60s Brit drama.
Accident
Still looking great after over 45 years, Joseph Losey's 'Accident' is a blistering look into rivalry and sexual frustration.
Army of Shadows
Jean-Pierre Melville's cold, meticulous and brooding Resistance classic remains a deeply powerful and uneasy filmgoing experience.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Brimming with compassion and incredible visuals, 'The Hobbit' may be trying for the younger vote in comparison to the more stately 'Lord of the Rings' but it is truly worth of your three hours.

Scanners
Badly dated cult body horror 'Scanners' mixes cheesey dialogue and meaty violence to create a hard-to-stomach cinematic sandwich of sin served by the unique David Cronenberg. Excellent looking Blu-ray...
Les Cousins
Building on his simmering debut 'Le Beau Serge', Claude Chabrol's second feature 'Les Cousins' adds sex and violence to the mix to give us hints of 'the French Hitchcock' label he'd later be renowned...
Silver Linings Playbook
No gimmicks here, just good old fashioned storytelling and excellent acting. 'Silver Linings Playbook' is the silver lining Hollywood has been waiting for.
Le Beau Serge
Claude Chabrol's debut film is remarkably professional. Opting for quiet drama over his trademark suspense, 'Le Beau Serge' is nevertheless a thrilling introduction.
The Princess Bride: 25th Anniversary Edition
The ultimate sword and sorcery satire. It'd be inconceivable if 'The Princess Bride' didn't make you smile.
Boxing Day
Director Bernard Rose and star Danny Huston tackle another Tolstoy story in 'Boxing Day', a film that inverts the master and common man relationship.
