Mini reviews: for when 800 words and half a dozen screengrabs just isn't worth it

DARK SHADOWS

The cast is great but the narrative slumbers;

Like ‘Alice in Wonderland’, it’s Burton-by-numbers.

BOOGIE WOOGIE

Great cast, great concept (the art world laid bare)

But blandly directed, no reason to care.

RED RIDING HOOD

“From the director of ‘Twilight’.” The cineaste baulks.

Oh dear fucking Christ, the werewolf talks!
