FILM REVIEWS

Baby Mama

It's an under-achieving, lightweight movie that settles for a few competent gags and doesn't bother to take risks.

The Edge of Love

The reputation of Welsh writer Dylan Thomas as a boozy, obnoxious ingrate will not be enhanced here.

Son Of A Lion

This low-budget docu-drama was shot on the north-west frontier of Pakistan.

Son Of A Lion

Remarkable tale of an apprentice gunsmith told by an Australian filmmaker and Pakistani villagers.

Persepolis

Mounted with such charm, emotional honesty and broad humour, it's a very easy film to fall in love with.

Tropic Thunder

Stiller never stops bombarding the audience with outrageous ideas.

Tropic Thunder

Ben Stiller's biggest budget movie to date makes fools out of almost everybody - not least the actors.

Redbelt

The film cooks nicely for about 40 minutes before setting up conflicts it does not resolve.

Taken

Those pesky Albanians are running a sex slavery ring in the suburbs of Paris.

Garbage Warrior

Garbage Warrior becomes a classic tale of an underdog who challenges the system.
