DVD Review - Julie & Julia
A great cast, great performances (Streep, Adams and Stanley
Tucci), some decent
cooking tips and a surprising amount of laugh-out-loud moments... and
you've got yourself something pretty special here.

DVD Review - Ice Age 3 : Dawn Of The Dinosaurs
While the rest of the film feels
it has to deliver sappy moralising about the importance of love and
family, Scrat's sideplot (which runs throughout the film) skilfully
undercuts it all and is far funnier besides.

DVD Review - Mao's Last Dancer
Mao's Last Dancer kicks off when
Li Cunxin (Chi Cao) is sent to Texas as part of the Chinese ballet's
cultural exchange program, he might as well be travelling to another
planet.

DVD Review - Surrogates
It's a shame that the plot lets this down because a lot of the ides here
are actually pretty well thought-out and there
are a couple of moments where the idea of surrogates is used in a way
that is both surprising and perfectly logical.

DVD Review - Moon
Visually it is a throwback to the science
fiction of the late 1960s and early 1970s, though the twist plotting
feels more like a "future shock" short story from UK science fiction
comic 2000AD.

DVD Review - The Damned United
Soccer
fans will get more out of this than most, simply because once past the
performances this doesn't really delve deep enough to provide much for
non-soccer fans to get into.

DVD Review - District 9
Using a cast of unknowns, as well as setting the film in Johannesburg, director Neill
Blomkamp somehow manages to lure the audience deep inside the realistic
alternate dimension he has created - and keeps them there for the
entire ride.

DVD Review - The Final Destination 3D
Death's all about the amazingly complicated chain of co-incidences that end up with a pool drain sucking out
your organs, a busted escalator chewing off your legs, a hospital
therapy pool crashing through a ceiling onto your head or your guts
being mashed through a egg-slicer-style fence.

DVD Review - Drag Me To Hell
Ridiculously stupid, with some brilliant over the top violence,
along with a talking possessed goat and some violently powerful blood
noses. All classic
cult moments waiting to be immortalised by the genre and somehow that was Sam Raimi's plan all along.

DVD Review - Whip It
While the comparisons to Juno are unavoidable (to an extent Whip It
does feel like a less wordy sequel / prequel to the Oscar cult hit),
Barrymore's uplifting tale about "finding purpose" and "understanding
who you are" does manage to stand on it's own two feet.

DVD Review - Imagine That
Imagine That
isn't completely unwatchable - in fact you could be forgiven for
flicking over to it by accident on cable and sticking through to the
very end - but at the end of the day it is simply too slow, too unsure
of it's audience and just too bland.

DVD Review - The Circuit : Series 2
The Circuit is a landmark SBS Australian drama series that focuses on
indigenous issues but in a way that attracts mainstream audiences. It
is an entertaining series which is surprisingly addictive and yet
educational at the same time.
