"The kind of quirky labour of love I feel guilty for bashing. "
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Captain Eager and the Mark of Voth (2008)11%
/
2/5
 
"It’s a handsome picture but Joe’s lack of evolution is unsatisfying. "
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)45%
/
3/5
 
"An engaging enough picture, if a lesser work, from the talented Apatow stable. "
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%

1/5
 
"The least funny man ever to make a career in comedy movies, Ice Cube hauls his sullen mug back in front of the cameras for the execrable First Sunday."
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
First Sunday (2008)14%
/
3/5
 
"Not a polemical antiwar film, but rather a deeply human elegy for young lives lost. "
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Beaufort (2008)88%
/
2/5
 
"The story requires an antagonist, so Jane’s sister is painted as a monster for most of the film. At the end, however, she is reshaped as Jane’s close friend and confidante. The film’s credibility crumbles like stale wedding cake."
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
27 Dresses (2008)40%
/
2/5
 
"Don't expect Roland Emmerich's 10,000BC to make much sense, historically, geographically or logically."
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
10,000 B.C. (2008)9%
/
2/5
 
"Vantage Point might sound intriguing on paper but it's all gimmick and not a lot of substance."
Posted Mar 7, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)36%
/
3/5
 
"On the surface the film is a solid thriller, but there's more thought here than in the average serial killer flick. "
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/
2/5
 
"Some of the dialogue is well-crafted and the performances are generally strong (although Black hams shamelessly at times) but the characters are so loathsome that you long for a hurricane to sweep away this wedding party."
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Margot at the Wedding (2007)51%
/
1/5
 
"Stallone may believe that he can turn back the clock to the golden era of his career, but I'm not convinced that this kind of brutal, bellicose naivety sits so well with audiences any more. "
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Rambo (2008)35%
/
3/5
 
"While there’s a sober beauty to much of the film, it does drag on a little and you find yourself wondering what exactly is the point that Geyrhalter is trying to make. "
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Our Daily Bread (2006)94%
/
4/5
 
"Jones’ Oscar-nominated performance is impeccably judged. His low-key turn as a man forced to question everything from the kind of father he was to the nature of the country he fought for could be the contender to give Daniel Day-Lewis a run for his money."
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
In the Valley of Elah (2007)72%
/
3/5
 
"What comedy there is fails to ignite and the romance is stillborn since we don’t care who sleeps with whom or whether they do it in real life or the dream world."
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
The Good Night (2007)26%
/
4/5
 
"The savage drama of the landscape, the indomitable optimism of the people and the passion of the ubiquitous music – almost every character is a musician – is universal in its appeal."
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007)100%
/
4/5
 
"The film requires an investment from audiences that it more than repays. "
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
Silent Night (2006)91%
/
2/5
 
"The film has a dated feel – it has more in common with 1960s-style wacky satire than the cutting edge of 21st-century cinema. "
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
Southland Tales (2007)34%
/
2/5
 
"Despite the talent involved – Branagh is joined by Stephen Fry, who has written a new libretto – and the ambitious staging, this flute blows all right, but it’s short on the magic. "
Posted Nov 30, 2007
 
The Magic Flute (2006)69%
/
1/5
 
"Xavier Gens should have stuck to making music videos rather than inflict his goldfish-like attention-span on cinema."
Posted Nov 30, 2007
 
Hitman (2007)14%
/
3/5
 
"Highlights include the joyful footage of a polar bear tobogganing in the snow; baboons cautiously tiptoeing through floodwater, their hairy arms flailing for balance; and magnificent humpbacked whales gorging themselves on krill. "
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Earth (2007)100%
/
4/5
 
"While not as erotic as other films by this director, there’s a languid sensuality to the story. "
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)88%
/
4/5
 
"A cocksure upstart that has swaggered onto the scene, confident that it can take its place at the table with the big boys."
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
American Gangster (2007)79%
/
1/5
 
"Crashing bore of a movie. "
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Silk (2007)8%
/
2/5
 
"There’s a message behind Lions for Lambs, Robert Redford’s latest outing as a director. And my goodness don’t we know it by the end of a 94-minute hectoring that feels far, far longer. "
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Lions for Lambs (2007)28%
/
3/5
 
"Although McCandless’s story is undoubtedly fascinating, and Penn’s film contains moments of magic, it is a lesser piece of work because it prefers to accept its subject at face value rather than ask a few crucial questions. "
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Into the Wild (2007)83%
/
2/5
 
"30 Days of Night has a striking comic-book aesthetic and macabre sense of fun – if your sense of fun includes watching a vampire turned into pâté in the gnashing metal jaws of a rubbish processor."
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
30 Days of Night (2007)49%
/
3/5
 
"Kapur’s film is visually arresting, each frame a work of art in miniature. But there is something rather breathless about the storytelling."
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)34%
/
2/5
 
"No twist is too farfetched for this Dino De Laurentiis epic."
Posted Oct 27, 2007
 
The Last Legion (2007)17%
/
3/5
 
"An enjoyably barmy movie that plunders from everything from Cabaret to Cocteau’s Orphée."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
No Smoking (2007)50%
/
2/5
 
"Anyone hoping for a deeper insight into the fashion designer than his weakness for the construction industry should probably look somewhere other than the insubstantial documentary Lagerfeld Confidential."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007)41%
/
3/5
 
"Accents are as thick as borscht, and vodka flows almost as freely as the blood."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Eastern Promises (2007)88%
/
3/5
 
"While we all have our grumbles about the NHS, it’s hard not to be caught up in Moore’s righteous indignation on behalf of his countrymen, or not to feel a twitch of pride in our own."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Sicko (2007)93%
/
3/5
 
"Although morally ambiguous, with a message that is at best confused, this is a striking debut from a talented director."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Princess (2007)55%
/
1/5
 
"A performance of profound and unmitigated dreadfulness."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007)n/a
/
3/5
 
"There’s plenty to recommend this old-fashioned serial-killer flick."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Mr. Brooks (2007)56%
/
2/5
 
"There are plenty of decent laughs, but the shadow of the far superior British zombie romcom looms large."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Black Sheep (2007)71%
/
4/5
 
"This is a first-rate piece of film-making that should appeal to fans of last year’s The Lives of Others."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
The Counterfeiters (2008)95%
/
2/5
 
"A slog through endless death metal-powered action sequences."
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
Day Watch (2007)64%
/
3/5
 
"A cut above the bullish jingoism that would have characterised a film of this ilk at the beginning of this decade."
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
The Kingdom (2007)51%
/
4/5
 
"What may catch audiences unawares is how unexpectedly life-affirming this little film about pet death is."
Posted Sep 22, 2007
 
Year of the Dog (2007)69%
/
1/5
 
"The film-makers behind I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry would probably claim a message of tolerance and personal growth, but this woeful Adam Sandler vehicle is as nasty a piece of sniggering homophobia as I have seen in a long time."
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)13%
/
2/5
 
"You can’t help but mourn for the hint of an intriguing film that could have been."
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Introducing The Dwights (2007)52%
/
2/5
 
"Faced with As You Like It, one of the Bard’s more tiresome plays, Branagh’s direction loses conviction and his storytelling lacks the engaging enthusiasm of his previous Shakespeares."
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
As You Like It (2006)31%
/
4/5
 
"Starry, sexy and unmistakably British, Atonement is the kind of film that comes along all too rarely."
Posted Sep 15, 2007
 
Atonement (2007)83%
/
4/5
 
"This quick-witted film is likely to be a fleeting presence on our overcrowded screens. Catch it while you can."
Posted Sep 15, 2007
 
Reprise (2008)89%
/
3/5
 
"It is utter nonsense and completely reprehensible morally. But it’s an outrageous amount of fun."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Shoot 'Em Up (2007)66%
/
2/5
 
"Sweet-natured but terribly dull."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
December Boys (2007)42%
/
4/5
 
"If ever there was a film that celebrated the joy of existence, the heady thrill of scaling a seemingly insurmountable challenge, it’s this shambling documentary."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
In the Hands of the Gods (2007)85%
/
4/5
 
"A remake of a 1957 movie starring Glenn Ford, Yuma’s pacing may owe something to the contemporary action movie, but the themes are age-old: redemption, morality and the lure of the lawless wilderness and of the killers who call it home."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
3:10 to Yuma (2007)89%
/
3/5
 
"There are some excruciatingly funny moments but there are perhaps not as many laughs as you would hope for given the script’s comedy pedigree."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
