Entertaining and fun to watch, if not exceptional

“Overall, I did enjoy Kung Fu Panda, but I don't put it up there with Dreamworks' best. Apart from Po and Shifu(and possibly the film's villain, splendidly voiced by Ian McShane) the film is lacking in its character development, while the story while well constructed, original and fresh has its predi” read more

Small time in the Big Easy

“'Little Caesar' had many interest points. Edward G. Robinson was a fine actor, who dominated when in lead roles and stole scenes in support. Mervyn LeRoy, in one of his earliest films here, went on to do a lot of solid and more films. Douglas Fairbanks Jr was good in the right roles and Glenda Farre” read more

Tough enemy

“There was no real doubt that 'The Public Enemy' would be great. There were many great gangster films at the time that far from played it safe and were actually remarkably bold. William A Wellman was always great at taking difficult and quite heavy stories and giving them a sensitive yet packing a bi” read more

Brilliant and ahead of its time

“Scarface doesn't make my favourite movies list, but it is a brilliant film. While people may say the 1983 remake is better, I'd say this is better by quite a significant margin. The film does look good, the cinematography is skillful and the costumes and sets are top-drawer. The script is excellent,” read more

A contender for my favourite of the year so far?

“Yes, very likely. Of a very hit-and-miss year so far, I have seen some gems like Tree of Life, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy(the first two in a way are not for everybody though), Rio and Source Code. And then I saw Drive, which was simply brilliant.Like I said with some of my favourites this year, Drive” read more

Quite simply movie-making on the grandest scale

“At 17, I love David Lean, his films are filled with beautiful images and he also directs with real flair. Lawrence of Arabia is a perfect example of movie-making at its finest, the whole film is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect:Whether it is the film's visual style. Lawrence of Arabia is filled” read more

Brilliant

“I firmly believe Monster House is the best animated film of 2006. I did like Happy Feet and Cars, but Monster House beats them both in my opinion. It is superbly animated, with the colours really bold and the character designs and backgrounds really interesting. I also liked the music, which further” read more
