1/5
 
"A sombre, intelligent, feeling crime drama set in a working-class New York characterised by striving and shabbiness."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
We Own The Night (2007)55%
/
 
"Better to prepare your children for the world with a DVD of Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)36%
/
3/5
 
"The animated sequences are disappointingly flat, the real-life parts underwritten, but Amy Adams works hard and keeps a straight face in the lead, and the time passes amiably enough."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Enchanted (2007)94%
/
4/5
 
"Very little happens, and it has the look of a TV movie; yet the pace never seems to let up, the screen never seems empty, and its grip on your attention doesn't falter. "
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Comedy of Power (2005)80%
/
1/5
 
"Clichéd and contrived."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Chromophobia (2005)31%
/
2/5
 
"Stylish, but that doesn't really make up for the drifting plot, or the lack of insight and conviction."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Les Chansons d'Amour (2007)33%
/
2/5
 
"Given the amount of talent involved – Renée Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, Rip Torn, and Seinfeld himself – it all feels like a terrible waste."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Bee Movie (2007)53%
/
 
"Carolyn Keene's straitlaced teen detective gets a modern, ironic makeover, but the irony wobbles and the jokes aren't strong enough to carry it."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Nancy Drew (2007)48%
/
 
"Tosh, but disarmingly sincere."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Last Legion (2007)17%
/
 
"The comedy always feels enriching rather than demeaning."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Blame it on Fidel (2006)93%
/
 
"By Americanising the hero and grotesquely distorting the plot, they can only alienate the fan-base and confuse the newcomer."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Seeker (2007)13%
/
 
"An unnecessary and unlovable sequel to the Eddie Murphy vehicle Daddy Day Care, though this time the producers have traded down to Cuba Gooding Jr. Not recommended."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Daddy Day Camp (2007)1%
/
 
"Rendition is a well-intentioned film, and an enjoyable one, but, in the end, that's not quite the same as a good one."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)47%
/
3/5
 
"If Yates and Goldenberg haven't given the story shape, they have given it pace – something missing from the bloated and (to my disenchanted eyes) dreary book: even if the moments don't always connect, few of them are dull."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)77%
/
2/5
 
"Light touches are counterbalanced by some heavy-footed acting and a streak of leaden literal-mindedness."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Macbeth (2007)48%
/
2/5
 
" It breaks taboos with an insouciance that makes Last Tango look like Mary Poppins."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Taxidermia (2006)79%
/
2/5
 
"It's impossible to avoid comparison with Shakespeare in Love, which similarly made out that many of the great man's plays were really disguised autobiography; but the earlier film had a lightness of touch and variety of tone missing from this one."

3/5
 
"You should find this watchable and moderately clever; it's just a shame that it tries to sound weighty about truth and love, instead of getting on with being scary."
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
The Night Listener (2006)41%

"Why is a British film as good as The Queen such a depressing rarity?"

"Probably best viewed with a six-pack on hand."

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)72%
/
2/5
 
"Almost every decision that was taken here seems to have been the wrong one, from the casting of the callow, pleasant-looking Josh Hartnett as the sexually repressed cop hero, to the mellow sepia tones overlaying night-time Los Angeles."
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
The Black Dahlia (2006)35%

"A slight, pretentious Danish sci-fi romance, notable mainly for the former supermodel Helena Christensen's acting debut."

"The film has an important, uplifting message; shame it couldn't be encased in a less faked-up story."

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)83%
/

"It is not a great film, but an insidious one, the sort that gets under your skin. It leaves you scrabbling at aphids, hoping they really are in your imagination."

Confetti (2006)58%

2/5
 
"I can't help feeling that this updating could have been a little more imaginative -- the only wrinkle on the basic plot is that it uses mobile phones."
