Cinema Review – Django Unchained
Django is as long as it is full of bodies, with stellar performances from the entire lead cast. It may not be the best Tarantino film, but even a medium one is a lot better than the best of a lot of his peers.

Les Misérables is a stunning film that while at times it lacks a little EPIC scale, it more than makes up for that in heartfelt emotions.

Cinecity Diary – 28th November – I, Anna
‘I, Anna’ has some notable and admiring moments it lacks the intelligence that a thriller of this level needs and this stops it from being a compelling watch.

Weekend Round-Up – Cinecity Diary – 25th November – Ernest and Celestine.
‘Ernest and Celestine’ works on both levels, either for grown-ups that read into the subtext carefully, or for the child who is happy to enjoy the story and impressive animation. A worthy watch for the whole family.

Cinecity Diary – 16th November – Sightseers Q&A
'Sightseers’ is a film that firmly builds on the foundation that Wheatley’s two previous movies laid and serves to confirm the film makers craft. I am very much looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next!

Cinecity Diary – 15th November – Seven Psychopaths
