    Tell Me Something
    Director Yang Joon-hyun works scrupulously from the Hollywood serial murder playbook, and delivers something which does its job, even as its last reel flounders with several too many plot twists, but has no particular reason to exist.

    Hideaway (Le refuge)
    Lyrical in style and presentation, this drama alludes to serious issues but does not address them. Enjoyable stylistically, but not substantiated beyond glossy advertisement.

    Restless
    Compared to its direct inspiration - Hal Ashby's blackly brilliant "Harold And Maude" - Restless comes off like an anemic facsimile. After the excellent "Milk," this is more like curdled cheese.

    The U.S. vs. John Lennon
    Perhaps not an entirely a faithful portrayal of the era or the great man, but interesting in parts.

    The Awakening
    Solid production values lend a polish to the spooks and there are strong performances all round, especially from the ever-excellent Rebecca Hall, but there's little here to add to the well-worn haunted house genre.

    Weekender
    A bang-on soundtrack will make the hairs on ex-ravers' necks stand up. The plot will have the opposite effect.
    • 25 Metascore

    The Benchwarmers
    An unfunny, unfocused sub-SNL baseball comedy that makes the likes of Joe Dirt and Deuce Bigalow seem vintage.
