Hugo (2011)
Hugo is unashamedly old–fashioned, and a rare treasure. A children’s film this may be, but it is The Godfather of children’s films; a perfectly crafted masterpiece steeped in rarefied class and unmatched beauty. In a word, magic.- DVD
$20 $15
In Bruges (2008)
A sharp, savage comedy with acidic wit and a dark heart. It\'s bold, brutal and brilliant.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)
Bold, vivid and brilliant. A ferocious thriller that drags you in, with an exceptional performance from Hoffman.
Drive (2011)
It seems to be a fairytale crossed with a nightmare; the simple sweetness of the central relationship mingled with the chilling horror of a bloody curb–stomp, and it is ultra–stylish, ultra–cool and utterly mesmerising.- DVD
$19.95 $14.95
Help, The (2011)
The acting is excellent, but the film itself is limited, condescending and sappy.
Tree of Life, The (2011)
Vast and thought provoking. A very beautiful experience.
Blue Valentine (2010)
The story is powerful and the direction is wonderful, but it is Gosling and Williams who steal the show with a pair of incredible performances.
French Connection, The (1971)
Intense, brilliantly made thriller with incredible set–pieces and an outstanding performance from Gene Hackman.- DVD
$24.95 $18.70
Taxi Driver (1976)
Powerful beyond words. De Niro gives an exceptional performance, keeping the viewer mesmerized throughout a stunning portrait of post–war angst. Haunting, unforgettable viewing.
Goodfellas (1990)
Powerful, insightful and gripping gangster flick. Absolutely incredible.
