Transporter 2 (2005 / USA/France)
Its a bit more tongue in cheek than the first film and thrives because of it. Ridiculous stunts, OTT car chases and incredibly inventive fight sequences makes for the perfect action flick.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005 /
A strange marriage of horror and courtroom drama that really doesn’t work. The supernatural scenes aren’t half bad but it’s the sluggish, and sometimes unnecessary, other scenes that bring the film down.
Juno (2008 / USA)
This has the quirky characters and offbeat dialogue you’d expect from an indie movie but when it attempts to go much further than that it falls short. A great performance from Jennifer Garner helps add a bit of gravity that’s missing from the other characters.
April Fools Day (2008 /
Theres a distinct B-movie feel to this but unfortunately not in a “so bad its good” way. The lack of any real horror (shocks, suspense, gore - anything!) makes you wonder what the directors wanted to accomplish. Very bland.
Abnormal Beauty (2004 /
As great looking and well directed as this is, its fairly directionless for the most part. The final act, however, picks up the pace and is as brutal as it is gripping but you may have given up on it by then. Disappointing.
