Alice in Wonderland (2010)

More Jabberwocky than Cheshire Cat smile.

Janck 3 stars (March 2010)


Delivers in the colourful and quirky way you would expect, that this is almost the 'norm' for a Tim Burton effort. Is a visual treat to behold though.

Animal Kingdom (2010)

A long way from Erinsborough.

Brothers (2009)

Run of the mill, without the thrill and the spill.

Fong juk (2006) aka "Exiled"

Wild shootouts just about keep this confusing crime flick ticking along, but I expected more.

The Road (2009)

Not got the T-shirt.

Janck 3.5 stars (Aug 2010)



Bleak; desperately so. This downbeat drama is well made, but difficult to know who you would recommend this to. Heavy going.

The Informant! (2009)

Rat Damon!

Janck 3 stars (Sep '09)





Entertaining enough dramedy starring Matt Damon with a 'tache. Incredulous and amusing.

Mitch 3.5 stars

A Single Man (2009)

Touching and poignant human drama dealing with one man's innermost thoughts and sense of loss. What could have been downbeat is actually cerebral, and a fine supporting cast combine well to give Colin Firth an Oscar nomination.

Kick-Ass (2010)

If there was ever a film that needed a Lion essay review then here it is.. sweary kids, dark humour, and plenty of kick ass action make for a real knockout feature.

Janck 4 stars (Apr '10)


Funny and action-packed in equal measure, you cannot help but root for the introvert protagonist; duty bound to bring a new kind of superhero to the fore. Destined to annoy a legion of Daily Mail readers; I for one am hoping for a sequel.

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)

High concept, low taste.

The Box (2009)

Wacky, bonkers, or even preposterous, but Richard Kelly still manages to push more buttons with The Box than your average turgid Hollywood flick.

Four Lions (2010)

Decent, but didn't blow me away.
