Man on Wire
Although it was released months ago (and is actually already on DVD!) it was only at the very end of December that I was finally able to see the documentary Man on Wire. I’d been interested in this film ever since I first heard about it many months ago. Luckily, the film w

The Reader
Please note: While I have kept the following review of The Reader as spoiler-free as possible, it does contain some substantial discussion of the film’s story-line. Those of you who wish to know as little as possible about the movie before seeing it should proceed with cauti
