Movie reviews:
AMERICAN HUSTLE
(US, 2013) Dir: David O. Russell. Stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro. “The screenplay is outstanding, taking us on an ever changing course where the dramatic scenery shifts from tense to bizarre to deadly to hilarious ... not to mention a great 70s soundtrack (plus a clever underscore by Danny Elfman),” says Andrew. “A deliciously entertaining movie about the perfect con, corruption and how to survive on thin ice, American Hustle starts its hustling right from the get-go with its edgy script, winning cast and fab jazzy score,” says Louise.

NEW DVDS
NOW YOU SEE ME - Stars Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Melanie Laurent. “A hugely enjoyable thriller, whose sleight of hand is both audacious and ambitious,” says Louise.
TO THE WONDER - Stars Ricardo Darin, Luis Tosar, Javier Camara, Eduardo Noriega, Leonor Watling. “Countering the defects in the writing, the performances by the top notch cast are all wonderful, nuanced and engaging, even though the dialogue is rarely so,” says Andrew.
ELYSIUM - Stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, William Fichtner, Sharlto Copley. “there is ample entertainment value in this sci-fi tale with star power, whose filmic references are as diverse as Metropolis and Mad Max,” says Louise.
100 BLOODY ACRES – Stars Angus Sampson, Damon Herriman, Anna McGahan, Oliver Ackland, John Jarratt. “The elements are potentially there for a bloody good time, if gore and black comedy is your thing, yet the debut feature for Colin and Cameron Caines falls flat,” says Louise.
