Cyrus Review: Mother Lover

CYRUS (15): On General Release 10th September

Jay and Mark Duplass have so far made their way in Hollywood by impressing people with their short films and well-received mumblecore features like The Puffy Chair and Baghead. Unfortunately, their latest project, Cyrus, just fails to hit the high notes of comedy and the depths of emotion that they’re clearly aiming for with their handheld indie style.

John C. Reilly stars as John, a middle-aged editor whose life took a downturn when his wife Jamie (Catherine Keener) left him seven years ago. After Jamie forces him to come to a party with her, John manages to catch the eye of Molly (Marisa Tomei), despite being drunk and emotionally needy. Do It!

How To Train Your Dragon Review: Flaming Good

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (PG): On General Release From 31st March

Going up against animation giants like Disney and Pixar can’t be easy, but DreamWorks Animation keep plugging away. More often than not, their movies aren’t up to snuff animation-wise (Shark Tale anyone?) but it looks as if they’ve actually found some animators that can actually earn their paychecks.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) is a pathetic teenage Viking living on the little island of Berk which happens to be plagued by a variety of dragons. Do It!
