Leith’s Top Films for 2011
It’s that time of year once again where we see many lists being released comprised of top ten films, comics, or video games. As you’ve seen in recent weeks AccessReel is no different with each reviewer announcing our top 10 films of 2011. Top ten lists are a strange thing for me personally, with so many films offering different experiences across different genres I find it difficult to...

AccessReel Reviews – Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked
Playing around while aboard a cruise ship, the Chipmunks and Chipettes accidentally go overboard and end up marooned in a tropical paradise. They discover their new turf is not as deserted as it seems. Many questions plagued my mind as I prepared to see the preview of ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS 3:CHIPWRECKED. For example: would I be able to catch up with the saga of the Chipmunks on their third outin...

Phil’s Top 10 Films of 2011
Here at AccessReel we pretty much review whatever is out there. Which is how I ended up seeing MELANCHOLIA on a recent Saturday morning and then the third ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS movie less than 24 hours later. However, sometimes our natural preferences mean it makes more sense for our Editor to send one reviewer instead of another. For example, I am not the Transformers guy. Sending me to review ...

The Iron Lady
Margaret Hilda Thatcher was one of the most polarising figures in British public life in the last 50 years. Like President Reagan in the United States, her election heralded a change in the political landscape of her nation. She championed the privitisation of nationalised industries, she fought the trade unions and she aimed to reverse the decline of Britain as a world power. Little of this agend...
