The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009) 85% 5/5 EDIT “An engrossing, well-directed and superbly acted mystery that could be the thriller of the year.” – Daily Record (UK) Apr 2, 2010 Full Review The Bounty Hunter (2010) 13% 2/5 EDIT “The Bounty Hunter is the rom-com equivalent of magnolia paint. Bland, bland, bland.” – Daily Record (UK) Apr 2, 2010 Full Review Nanny McPhee Returns (2010) 76% 4/5 EDIT “A delightfully old fashioned and utterly charming movie that all the family will enjoy.” – Daily Record (UK) Apr 2, 2010 Full Review Kick-Ass (2010) 78% 5/5 EDIT “Complex, blackly funny, even ironic, this over-the-top slice of comic book mayhem is as entertaining as it is inventive - twisted and great fun.” – Daily Record (UK) Apr 2, 2010 Full Review Case 39 (2009) 22% 2/5 EDIT “Daft, throwaway tosh that doesn't even qualify as a guilty pleasure.” – Daily Record (UK) Mar 5, 2010 Full Review Legion (2010) 20% 2/5 EDIT “At the end of the day - or should that be end of days - it boils down to nothing more than a glorified apocalyptic zombie movie.” – Daily Record (UK) Mar 5, 2010 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (2010) 51% 3/5 EDIT “After the first 45 minutes, the film becomes as tedious as Johnny Depp's accent.” – Daily Record (UK) Mar 5, 2010 Full Review Leap Year (2010) 24% 2/5 EDIT “Leap Year is a sappy road movie that clearly signposts every tiny pothole in the path to true love. And it promotes a stereotypical image of rural Ireland which would make Father Ted and his flock roll their eyes in disbelief and shout, "Begorrah!"” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 26, 2010 Full Review Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) 88% 4/5 EDIT “One of the most charming, entertaining and colourful musicals of the 1950s.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 26, 2010 Full Review Everybody's Fine (2009) 47% EDIT “De Niro steals the show with a subtle, charismatic and moving performance.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 26, 2010 Full Review Extraordinary Measures (2010) 29% 3/5 EDIT “Science and research is rarely sexy on film so the necessary drama and conflict to drive the plot come from a volatile working relationship between Fraser's and Ford's characters.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 26, 2010 Full Review Micmacs (2009) 71% 5/5 EDIT “The most inventive and entertaining piece of cinema I've seen in years... [a] riotously inventive and hilarious movie that is a constant delight from start to finish.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 26, 2010 Full Review The Last Station (2009) 70% 4/5 EDIT “A thespian tour de force if ever I saw one.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 19, 2010 Full Review Crazy Heart (2009) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The narrative does succumb to formula, but Bridges and a terrific cast keep it fresh.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 19, 2010 Full Review Solomon Kane (2009) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Dark and brooding, and fairly Lord of the Rings-esque in a smaller budget kind of way. Purefoy deftly handles the action like any A-lister leading man can. Great fun.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 19, 2010 Full Review The Lovely Bones (2009) 31% 1/5 EDIT “Although Ronan and Tucci offer up beautifully nuanced performances, it's still not enough to stop The Lovely Bones from floundering about. Unfocused and often gaudy its most certainly not as lovely as it wants to be.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 19, 2010 Full Review The Wolfman (2010) 32% 2/5 EDIT “Nothing to howl home about - practically a lesson in pointless film-making.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 16, 2010 Full Review Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) 48% 4/5 EDIT “The technical wizardry is spectacular and the story is taut, pacy and consistently inventive.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 16, 2010 Full Review Youth in Revolt (2009) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Never quite as clever, quirky or funny as it thinks it is.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 5, 2010 Full Review Astro Boy (2009) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Although boasting some nifty set pieces despite its lacklustre and cheap-looking computer-generated animation - can't touch the brilliance and storytelling skills of the films that Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks are turning out these days.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 5, 2010 Full Review Invictus (2009) 76% 3/5 EDIT “An enjoyable slice of solid entertainment that falls short of being a movie of greatness.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 5, 2010 Full Review The Princess and the Frog (2009) 86% 4/5 EDIT “This film will charm little princesses everywhere and is a vibrant addition to the Disney catalogue.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 5, 2010 Full Review Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire (2009) 92% 5/5 EDIT “It's not a movie you'll enjoy, but one where you'll definitely "appreciate the experience". It's an honest, raw, worthy movie and probably my favourite of the year.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 2, 2010 Full Review Adoration (2008) 62% 3/5 EDIT “A stylish, muddled but oddly interesting movie/moral debate, this is ultimately a reflection (I think) on post-9/11 hysteria.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 2, 2010 Full Review Edge of Darkness (2010) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the sometime derivative trappings of the modern thriller, he delivers an intense slice of solid entertainment - although he never quite captures the trust-nobody paranoia of the original series.” – Daily Record (UK) Feb 2, 2010 Full Review
