Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007, R)
Gloriously gruesome with Johnny Depp brilliant as ever taking the role of the 'Demon Barber'. I loved the visuals in this, the singing did grate on me at little at first but I got used to it throughout the movie. I thought Helena Bonham-Carter shone as Mrs. Lovett and the other characters were pretty flawless too. Recommended, especially for Tim Burton fans. |

Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason (2004, R) |

Love + Hate (2005, Unrated)
A simple yet compelling story about racism, love & loyalty. |
|

Atonement (2007, R) |
|
| 12 |
The Edge of Love (2008, R)
Loosely based on Dylan Thomas and his life during WWII - his marriage to Caitlin (Sienna Miller) and the couples friendship/relationship with his first love Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley). Engaging performances from the four main stars combined with a beautiful backdrop made this film lovely to watch. |
|
| 13 |
Bronson (2009, R)
The filming style is striking, mixing the story of the notorious criminal Charles Bronson with a theatrical one-man show - probably quite a suitable subcontext. |
|
| 14 |
The Bank Job (2008, R)
Based on a ture story & an intriguing one at that. |
|
| 15 |
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994, R) |
|
| 16 |
28 Days Later (2003, R)
I take it back, I rated this really badly when I first tried to watch it because I couldn't get into it. Having seen the film again - I actually found it quite entertaining. Its a very modern take on the zombie movies we're used to but I still don't think it lives up to the hype -"scary as hell" it isn't! |

Shaun of the Dead (2004, R) |
|

Mum & Dad (2008, Unrated)
A Polish girl is tricked by a work 'friend' and ends up being imprisoned by a psychopathic family. You can imagine that this would happen.. and thats the awful part. The 'kids' in this film try and outdo each other for affection from the sick 'mum & dad' just to stay in favour. The story relies on mind games aswell as gruesome moments (but strangely wasn't as bad in the latter as I imagined it would be). Has a great ending too. |
