Film Reviews

• 

  'Zonad' a daft delight

  Oirish stereotypes abound gloriously in the Carney brothers’ wonderful comedy, and you couldn’t possibly be offended.
• 

  Great performances in 'I Love You, Phillip Morris'

  A sad, funny rom-com touching on the still difficult subject of gay love, and it’s based on real-life events.
• 

  'Old Dogs' sets a new low

  With two such sterling stars as Williams and Travolta, even though their recent track record has been dismal, you’d think this looking-after-the-kiddies comedy would be at least watchable.
• 

  'The Bounty Hunter' a piece of harmless candyfloss

  A fluffy rom-com that won’t get your gray cells in a tizzy, the sort of film Hollywood knocks out on a regular, entertainingly undemanding basis with a couple of terrifically good-looking stars as eye candy.
• 

  'The Spy Next Door' one for the kids

  When you see Chan’s name above the title you expect a certain kind of film, but here he delivers something outside his comfort zone and brings it home with ease.
• 

  'Green Zone' a quiet, thoughtful and mature film

  As with 'Shutter Island' and the re-teaming of DiCaprio and Scorsese, so that of Damon and Greengrass – actors and directors who can bring the best out of one another’s work.
