Big Screen Film Reviews

The Reader (15) 123 mins
Review by Victor Olliver - This is Kate Winslet's film, one in which she persuades any doubters (post-Titanic) of her extraordinary gifts.

Che: Part One (15) 126 mins
Review by Victor Olliver - I have not sensed such movie pomposity since Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra entered Rome on a juggernaut borne by slaves.

The Spirit (12A) 103 mins
Review by Victor Olliver - A movie trailer can give unintended clues as to what to expect - The Spirit's (see it on YouTube if you missed it) is one long piece of chaos. And so is the pic.
