Humour&#8217;s a funny thing (heh heh &#8211; sorry). So often I sit there po-faced in comedies while the rest of the cinema crowd rolls about, overcome with hilarity. A couple of weeks back watching The Other Guys, for example, I barely raised a smirk, yet all around young males (mostly) guffawed, stamped their feet, clapped [...]]]></description>

New York’s the location for this ‘slice of life’ movie, although it could be any urban setting. There’s nothing particularly Noo Yawk about the characters, and unusually for films shot in the Big Apple, the city itself does not feature heavily. 
A mistake, perhaps, for this movie needs something more than it delivers – a [...]]]></description>

This low-budget Brit thriller opens ominously, with two blokes we come to know as Danny (Martin Compston) and Vic (Eddie Marsan) wordlessly soundproofing the back of a van and a room in an abandoned apartment block, and fitting both out with confinement gear. They operate with a sense of purpose and efficiency. Whatever they’re up [...]]]></description>

Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) are a married lesbian couple bringing up their teenage kids, 18 year old Joni (Mia Wasikowska) (named after Joni Mitchell) and 15 year old Laser (Josh Hutcherson), in a trendy LA neighbourhood. Unconventional though the family may be on the face of it, they’re going through all the [...]]]></description>

I abhor real violence, but I generally like it on screen. Who doesn’t enjoy seeing the bad bastard cop it?  It’s cathartic. Where else but in the movies do we have moral license to thrill to the grisly kill of some evil mother who had it comin’? Poetic justice sure as hell ain’t nowhere [...]]]></description>

It is the 80s, and Michael Jackson&#8217;s Thriller album has infiltrated every corner of the globe, it seems, including the backwaters of New Zealand&#8217;s North Island. Boy (James Rolleston) is a Maori kid in early adolescence who idolises Jackson, inexpertly demonstrating his dance moves to underwhelmed peers at any opportunity.  He lives in a [...]]]></description>

A friend once declared that the basis of Pommy humour is “putting on a silly hat and pulling faces.” I objected to this as reductive  – he left out the ‘funny’ voice. 
OK, not fair. The Brits gave us Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones and The Office, for which I will be ever grateful. [...]]]></description>

Skimming over the promo material, I have to admit to being less than enthused about this number. A coming-of-age period piece with Zac Efron as the romantic lead? I consoled myself with the hope that the Orson Welles character would add some interest…
Indeed, it all starts off pretty lame. Boy with thespian aspirations meets girl [...]]]></description>

South Solitary trailer and interview with writer-director Shirley Barrett
 

South Solitary is a tiny, remote island in the Southern Ocean pounded by the Roaring Forties, with a lighthouse plonked on its clifftops for the benefit of occasional sea traffic. It&#8217;s 1928. The population of the island has recently declined from 7 to 6, with the [...]]]></description>
