Review: The Chronicles Of Narnia – Prince Caspian (PG)

AS the proverb goes, all good things must come to an end. Read

Teeth (18)

Teeth has to be one of the weirdest little films I’ve seen in a while, with its mixture of coming-of-age drama, black comedy and truly nasty horror (particularly if you’re male).

It’s a sad state of affairs when a Woody Allen film finds itself at the tail end of a reviewer’s column, rather than being the draw of the week, but I think it says a lot about how far he has fallen behind other film-makers with his off-kilter vision of the world. Read
