Michael Winterbottom's newest movie has a promising premise but the film that results is all style in search of story.
Movie review: Winter in Wartime
Something you don't expect to see in yet another film about resistance heroism in Nazi-occupied Europe: a stagecoach chase.
Kick-Ass
Bloody, brainy and British - a superhero movie reinvented as gory comedy works out surprisingly well, writes Russell Baillie.
Date Night
Tina Fey and Steve Carell strut their comedic abilities by taking this far-fetched story and turning it into an enjoyable laugh-out-loud comedy.
