(please click on the images to read reviews)…
THE DESCENDANTS
“Maybe the finest performance of Clooney’s acting career”
LIKE CRAZY
“exciting young actors distinguish it from the average slush-fest.”
January 23, 2012
Entertainmentwise: “Haywire”, “J.Edgar”, “W.E.” reviews
HAYWIRE
“From the most unique of directors comes an occasionally enjoyable but overall quite average action- thriller”
J. EDGAR
“Eastwood’s vast experience and yet another immense performance from DiCaprio mean this ambitious project is largely a success.”
“W.E.”
“Whilst not a terrible film, it’s hard to recommend something that is only half-interesting.”
