Film Review: 'Bad Neighbours'
Bad Neighbours is by no means a bad movie but it fails to make the grade
Enjoyable, but with no defining stand out moments Bad Neighbours is sadly a movie which is less than its parts.

Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man 2
There is so much that is right with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 but just enough that is wrong. Good but only in parts.

A New York Winter’s Tale may be in for a Razzie or two
A movie that will either quietly disappear one winter’s night, never to be seen again, or be hoisted up for the masses to point and laugh at... says our columnist Ralph.

McConaughey and Leto dazzle in Dallas Buyers Club

Read MoreFilm Review: 'Inside Llewyn Davies'
The film lacks the tension and drama of the Coen Brothers’ nerve shattering No Country for Old Men
Overall, the film is uncertain about what it wants to be, becoming a perfectly pleasant jack of all trades but undoubtedly a master of none!

Leonardo DiCaprio is simply magnificent in his fifth collaboration with director Scorsese
The Wolf Of Wall Street is laugh out loud funny, and at times in incredibly poor taste, but stands tall predominantly due to a terrific lead actor and a plot that hooks you from the word go. Miss it at your peril.

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug is a far superior movie to the first
Overall a far superior movie to the first, in part because it covers a more interesting section of the story, but also because it brings much needed depth to the story and its players, says our columnist Ralph Redfern.

Read MoreFilm Review: 'Turbo'
Turbo doesn't leave as much of a lasting impact as say Planes or even Wreck it Ralph did. Worth a watch but nothing out of the ordinary.
Read MoreFilm Review: 'Planes'
A charming animated film, with its heart in the right place and an engaging plot that hits almost all the right notes.
