REVIEW: BEST OF 2011
S0 2011 has proved another interesting year for the film industry. There have been highs, lows, massive disappointments, as well as the utterly bizarre (I’m looking at you Tom Six). It’s proven difficult to select a top 10, as there were some great films that just missed out.
REVIEW: WARRIOR
You might sense déjà vu when you come face-to-face with Gavin O’Conner’s tale of underdog turned prized fighter and it’s hard to look past the idea that Warrior is little more than a hybrid of The Fighter, Million Dollar Baby and the Rocky movies rolled into one. However, scratch beneath the clichéd exterior and you’ll discover something a little special with more depth.
REVIEW: DRIVE
Unless you’ve been living in a vacuum for the past year, you’ll know that Ryan Gosling is fast becoming Hollywood’s hottest talent. With lead roles in Lars and the Real Girl, Blue Valentine and the imminent Crazy, Stupid Love, the Canadian born actor is renowned for his deep and multi-layered portrayals, but the question is this: does his latest offering expose us to the same raw, gut-wrenching emotion?

The Tree of Life Review
After the buzz surrounding The Tree of Life even before its Palme d’Or success at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, it is therefore only natural that such appraisal is given. Not only that, but when you learn it’s written and directed by uber private - and semi recluse - Terrence Malick (Badlands, The Thin Red Line) whom, if you view his filmograhpy, tends to make (on average) around one film per decade, then it’s time to feel privileged that this is the first of two new features due out within a year of each other.
It’s fair to say that Matthew McConaughey hasn’t always made the best of career choices. Since beginning promisingly with a role in Dazed and Confused almost 20 years ago, the film appearances that followed sank him into a type cast of mediocrity…

If you’re not familiar with 2009’s surprise indie hit Moon, then now is the time to educate yourself. Newcomer Duncan Jones directs Sam Rockwell through an interesting and dramatic sci fi unlike no other. Jones (formerly Zowie Bowie and son of David) creates a simple, yet high concept flick, which barely scrapped the surface of the mainstream, yet was a massive hit with critics.
Uh. Oh. BUSTED.
