	"Between a series of stunt-driven set-pieces, implausibly linked, the film gets bogged down in wearying talk." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 18, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
	"Fatally, Craig's self-obsessed Joe never develops into anyone more interesting." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Apr 18, 2008	Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)	45%
	"Writer-directors David Nerlich and Andrew Traucki calibrate the tension with creditable skill." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 22, 2008	Black Water (2007)	79%
	"A little too close to torture-porn for most tastes, but debutant director Tom Shankland shows promise." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 22, 2008	WAZ (2007)	77%
	"A film that's sweet and well-intentioned, but with a heart where its brain should be." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Feb 22, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
	"Inadvertently, U2 3D mimics perfectly the empty, intimacy-free spectacle that is stadium rock." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Feb 22, 2008	U2 3D (2008)	92%
	"Little more than a cartoon, Rambo caters only for those still smitten by the rat-a-tat of continuous gunfire." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Feb 22, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
	"In its favour, there's nothing here to upset the children. (Not, that is, unless they're allergic to Hoffman's hammy, Method-derived acting.)" -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 14, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	"A triumphant return to form." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 14, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%
	"It's long, stately and po-faced (all reasons why Tarkovsky seems faintly unfashionable these days), but if it's extended, beautifully composed tracking shots you want, he's your man." -- Independent Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Sacrifice (1986)	79%
	"In terms of keeping his plot obscure, director Brice Cauvin tips his chapeau in the direction of David Lynch, but ultimately it's rather lifeless. File under "calculatedly enigmatic"." -- Independent Posted Dec 7, 2007	Hotel Harabati (2006)	75%
	"The one laugh is in the production notes, where director Les Mayfield claims this is a comic take on the Jason Bourne movies. As if." -- Independent Posted Dec 7, 2007	Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)	4%
	"Supernatural thriller elements finally combine with an old Mexican folk legend." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 7, 2007	Kilometro 31 (2006)	71%
	"A Very British Gangster, his portrait of Manchester crime boss Dominic Noonan, raises awkward questions about his methods, as well as the question of whether "documentary" is even the right word." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 7, 2007	A Very British Gangster (2008)	63%
	"Rubbish, of course, but some teenage boys love this stuff. Don't rule out sequels." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	Hitman (2007)	14%
	"It's laboured and obvious, and not even a Yuletide movie: Christmas is little more than a device to bring the family back under one roof. Still, its plot is as overstuffed as any turkey." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
	"Above all, there's the sense of immersion in a world of harsh beauty whose time is running out. It's to be hoped that non-American audiences embrace this film: it's one of the year's very best." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
	"Taut, stylish French thriller, based on a novel by Ted Lewis." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Serpent (2006)	85%
	"This brilliant premise falls apart in the final act." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Legacy (2006)	50%
	"No film starring Juliette Binoche can be totally negligible, but this comes close." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	A Few Days in September (2006)	47%
	"OTT action and amoral humour are the entire point." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
	"Well-intentioned, but teeth-grindingly earnest, with a voice-over that seems to consist entirely of clich�s." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	December Boys (2007)	42%
	"Certainly the story's climax in Buenos Aires is unexpected, yet many scenes resemble staged reality TV moments: group hugs, tears, mumbled monologues about overcoming obstacles." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	In the Hands of the Gods (2007)	85%
	"Disturbia's limits are those of its hero - an amiable, faintly clueless young man with a brief attention span." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Sep 14, 2007	Disturbia (2007)	67%
	"Literally laughable." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 31, 2007	Death Sentence (2007)	17%
	"Cusack, who is in almost every scene, is astutely cast: his sardonic persona gradually disintegrates as the room plays its malevolent tricks on him." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 31, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
	"Shannon, a born comic sidekick, cannot carry the central role; disappointingly, the story sputters out into a sentimental finale." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 31, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	69%
	"There's not an unpredictable moment in Carol Fuchs's plodding, syrupy script; this dreadful remake of the moderately pleasing German film Mostly Martha is misconceived from start to finish." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 31, 2007	No Reservations (2007)	39%
	"Intriguing and intelligent, Breach may be too understated for its own good." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 31, 2007	Breach (2007)	84%
	"It's beautifully shot and includes bravura set pieces from the front line. Unsurprisingly, it ends badly." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 16, 2007	The 9th Company (2005)	79%
	"There's a reason the world loves this wartime film, now digitally restored: more memorable dialogue than should be strictly legal, heartbreaking performances from the two leads and a plot that works with Swiss-watch precision." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 16, 2007	Casablanca (1942)	98%
	"Casts an unblinking gaze on the wretched lives of amoral Mexico City slum kids without sentiment or preaching." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 16, 2007	Los Olvidados (1950)	93%
	"An awkward, last-minute romantic dash to Bristol's Temple Meads station in the style of Richard Curtis only serves to underline the air of creative bankruptcy." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 16, 2007	The Truth About Love (2004)	0%
	"Laughter is largely absent from this sorry, shrieking mess." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 16, 2007	Because I Said So (2007)	5%
	"It's overlong, and finally falls apart, stuttering towards a number of indecisive endings. But mostly it's a smart, funny, affectionate love letter to all things uncool - and far more skilful than its self-effacing humour suggests." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 16, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
	"*This is the best Harry Potter* film to date.*" -- Daily Telegraph* Posted Jul 3, 2004	Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)	89%
