Sweeney Todd review by Alison Emm
Alison Emm went to see Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street
"The colour enhanced for maximum effect throughout is red. Spraying here, there and everywhere, it’s what you’ve paid to see. The arterial spurting of blood and the slicing of throats is made believable yet not quite realistic. The bodies dropping through the floor to the bake house below are sickening in thought without being harrowing to watch."

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly review by Zoe Jeyes
Zoe Jeyes went to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
"In the film’s opening scenes we see everything from Jean-Do’s point of view. It’s an efficient way of introducing an audience to his plight and creates moments of both horror and humour. Thankfully, just as the technique is starting to become limiting, and a little irritating, our view expands - this is when the film really kicks into gear."

No Country For Old Men review by Chris Salter
Chris Salter saw the Coen Brothers' adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel.
"No Country for Old Men is much more than a straightforward genre thriller, it digs deeper and examines the sadness beneath the brutality."

Toby Kebbell interview by Claire Foss
From the LeftLion archives, an interview with Notts actor Toby Kebbell (most recently seen stealing scenes left, right and centre as Joy Division manager Rob Gretton in Control). This article first appeared in LeftLion magazine #3, back in 2005.
"People need to look around, and instead of moaning that you can't get cameras, just borrow a handicam or whatever. I think what people of our generation have got to understand is that mistakes are alright. Keep trying man, do your own shit, if no one else is helping you, do it yourself. If you've got fuck all to do, educate yourself, that's all I've got to say on it. I don't think Nottingham needs much more, I think it's got plenty to offer, you've just got to go and look."
In the Valley of Elah review by Chris Salter
Chris Salter went to see Oscar darling Paul Haggis' new Iraq war film, In the Valley of Elah.
"In the Valley of Elah moves forward strongly on two tracks. Part of the movie is a complex and suspenseful police producedual, the other is a technological discovery of the atrocities Hank's son witnessed while serving... While the film sympathises with the American troops and their families it still criticises a war that many of them don’t
understand"
Lust, Caution review by Charlie Baylis
Charlie Baylis went to see Ang Lee's Lust, Caution.
"In his latest work Lee has spun a bewitching and beautiful tale. Lust, Caution evolves slowly, twisting like the smoke of Shanghai and Hong Kong’s busy streets. It’s a delight to watch, with perfect cinematography and a haunting, enticing score."
