I STILL BELIEVE

Faith romantic drama misses every demographic

Another forgettable romantic and religious film. It has a tonne of issues from pacing to story, but it's just a boring film that is unappealing to all the demographics it tries to hit.

LIGHT OF MY LIFE

An intense test of the father/daughter bond

Newcomer Anna Pniowsky matches Casey Affleck's typically delicate, mumbling performance perfectly and they share a genuine, easy rapport onscreen, anchoring a touching (if intense) relationship drama.

PROXIMA

An earthbound drama about motherhood

It isn't a visually flashy film, but this only enhances the intimacy of this earthbound drama about a high-achieving woman's trauma at the thought of leaving her young daughter behind her.

WATERLOO

An epic recreation of the legendary battle

As difficult as it is to emotionally engage with, 'Waterloo' is still an impressive production, and certainly a film that deserves attention.

SCOOB!

Mystery swapped for money-hungry mayhem

Yet another classic franchise getting pumped through the modern machine, a bland and unremarkable caricature of what was once a fun and quirky story.

WIN BRIDESHEAD REVISITED: THE COMPLETE SERIES

The classic novel adapted with a distinguished ensemble cast

Win one of five copies of 'Brideshead Revisited: The Complete Series'.

WIN ROSEMARY & THYME: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION

Mystery thriller series featuring the gardening detectives

Win one of five copies of 'Rosemary & Thyme: The Complete Collection'.

ABE

Fusing food for peace and harmony

Aimed predominately at a younger audience, there is plenty for them to sink their teeth into and hopefully learn from. What it lacks in weight, it makes up for in charm and great looking food.

LOCKDOWN AND CATCH UP

SORRY, WRONG NUMBER

An inventive slice of 1940s film noir

Its narrative, visual inventiveness and a thoroughly engaging plot make it an enjoyable journey into 1940s film noir.

I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE

The world Blu-ray debut of a 1950s sci-fi curio

It doesn't stray too far from the run-of-the-mill 50s sci-fi that has become a pop-culture cliché, but it offers audiences something more substantial than the usual B-grade monster scares.

THE MUSIC OF DANNY ELFMAN

Celebrating the sounds of cinema on the great composer's birthday

Danny Elfman is truly an artist - he knows how to empower a melody by making one instrument the hero of the score. From themes universally known to stranger picks, these are his must-listen scores.

THE LODGE

An insult to the horror movie genre

It wants so badly to be considered a highbrow horror film, but it forgets completely to try and be compelling, riding on flimsy attempts at a creepy tone and calling it a day.

Mockumentary misses both comedy and social commentary beats

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF JOHN F. DONOVAN

Xavier Dolan's flawed but fascinating English-language debut

This isn't a hidden masterpiece, but it also is nowhere near a disaster. It's an arresting misstep from a deeply passionate filmmaker who cares about every frame.

ANGELFISH

A slight but sweet romance

A thoughtful look at an urban interracial romance. As Peter Lee's first film, 'Angelfish' is quite remarkable, and he and his impressive young cast are people to watch for in the future.

THE RISE OF ROBERT PATTINSON
