Movie Round Up

Batman: The Dark Knight (2008 / USA)
A genre masterpiece which manages to maintain a relentless pace throughout it’s 150mins, not just through typically dynamic action sequences but via an engaging and enjoyably convoluted plot. Nit –pickers will have to bite their tongues as the level of entertainment is well worth the suspension of disbelief.




Prom Night (2007 / USA)
Generic teen slasher which despite being fairly slick in parts, never breaks from the tired clichés in almost every scene.






Wicked Little Things (2004 / USA)
Unfortunately this dull horror never makes the most of its excellent locations and superbly dilapidated sets. The decent premise is ruined by woeful plot exposition which leaves very little worth recommending.





Death Proof (2006 / USA)
An over-reliance on kitch B-movie references and dialogue which is well below Taratino’s normally excellent standard makes for a film which takes far too long to get going and then fails to live up to its potential.
