• Review: Cloverfield

  

  Cloverfield is a film that has drawn many similarities with The Blair Witch Project due to the nature of it's filming, but because of the nature of the plot, it's a bastard of a film to review without giving anything away.

• Review: Sweeney Todd

  

  A film combining the talents of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp has a certain expectation attached to it, and this is no exception. It's one of the most anticipated films of the year, and as a particularly large fan of the aforementioned chaps, I was excited.

• Review: Daywatch

  

  The sequel to the Russian film Night Watch is Day Watch, a beautiful depiction of modern day Moscow complete with an undercover world of supernaturalism. People were walking out of the cinema half way through, but even the spilling of my cheese and chilli nachos on my lap wouldn't have torn my eyes away.
