3 1/2 /5 A young woman Eve Parkins has to leave London to look after the orphaned children who are being evacuated away from the dangers of german bombings. Among the children is a little boy Edward who had just recently lost his parents. Eve, who herself harbours a trauma, befriends the little boy. Things turn even darker when it is clear that the house in which the children are stationed is haunted by a terrible vengeful spirit of a child killer. The Woman In Black wants Edward. But Eve is not going to give him up without a fight. THE WOMAN IN BLACK: ANGEL OF DEATH is made in the vein of many other classic HAMMER movies. It is atmospheric, spooky and well acted. A score from horror regular Marco Beltrami will not disappoint. The film may be low on scares and the level of tension cannot be compared with the original, but it is always entertaining.  The story is a problem. While the idea of sending the bunch of lovely kinds into the house of a child murdering ghost sha

3 1/2 /5 A chance encounter between a university student and A young billionaire creates mutual affection. But this Cinderella story has a twist. Cristian Grey has a special sexual appetite. Ana Steel has to choose to accept a set of rules in order to be with the man she loves. But if she decides to change for him, will she loose her true self forever? 50 SHADES OF GREY works perfectly as a melodrama, but as soon as it steps into uncharted territory of perverse sexual games it is prudent and slightly awkward.

The steamy scenes in Grey's playroom are picture perfect, full of designer sex toys that never really have a chance to be used properly. Take these scenes out and movie will not lose anything. The good news are that even without

4/5 It has been four years since Gallipoli battle and an Australian farmer Conner ventures into Turkey to find the three sons he lost to the war and bring their bodies home. On his way he meets new friends, faces new foes and discovers hope he did not think existed. The trailer to THE WATER DIVINER revealed one of the major plot twists, however I will not mention in my review as I consider it a spoiler. I guess it is very hard to promote a movie about a father who had lost everything without a glimmer of hope. Talking about hope - it is a common thread going through the movie and THE WATER DIVINER was released in Turkey under the name of LAST HOPE. It may be a better name. THE WATER DEVINER is a very sentimental movie. The romantic relationship of Connor with a Turkish single mother is one of the main plot features. Olga Kurylenko shines as a single mother and a widow who is determined not to succumb to the fate of the women of her status. Kurylenko is beaming with cha
