Following the success of his indie debut "Welcome To The Dollhouse" Todd Solondz has created another dark and decidedly uncomfortable film. Whilst the title may suggest this is a light-hearted comedy, be warned that it is anything but. This is a film about the depraved and depressing lives of a bunch of unlikeable characters. Loosely centred around three sisters, it cleverly follows their bizarre relationships, encounters and failures. Solondz is establishing a reputation for intelligent scripts find out more...

How far does macho male bonding go? Well take 'the laidback, stunted heroes of a Judd Apatow comedy and strand them in the too-cool-for-school environs of a zero-budget mumblecore romance?

Sex therapist Sofia (played by Canadian radio star, Sook-Yin Lee) has frequent, athletic (yet frustratingly unfulfilling) intercourse with her boyfriend. Her seeming ina find out more...

Tim Burton brings Stephen Sondheim's musical prodigy to the big screen and as you'd expect he does a beautiful and atmospheric job of it. Both Depp and Carter revel in the opportunity given to them and the tale has a gloriously dark, gruesomely humourous tone, which brings me on to my own personal issues… the modern musical; much of the the of dialogue in Sweeney Todd is sung and there is just so much lilting 'mockney' cockney I can take. I can accept this is hugely entertaining film, it's just find out more...

It all seems familiar; people are polite, go to work, have dinner parties, go out and have sex, but no one seems to connect or enjoy themselves. It isn't long before Andreas marries attractive interior designer Anne Britt and as the pair settle into a comfortable, if emotionally vacant, routine, the newly arrived citizen starts to question why everyone and everything seems so superficial; an observation that has not find out more...
