4/5	"A number of decent performances and a gritty realistic view of London makes this little sci-fi spin-off still worth a look." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 14, 2008	The Quatermass Experiment (1955)	80%
4/5	"It has a comic strip premise which is neverthless wholly credible in a sick sort of way." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 6, 2008	Death Race 2000 (1975)	81%
4/5	"Extremely gory. Horror fans should delight." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 6, 2008	Phantasm (1978)	67%
4/5	"A clever and enjoyable wrapping-up of the time-travelling adventures." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 5, 2008	Back to the Future Part III (1990)	74%
3/5	"Arguably the most imaginative of the horror franchise, with a fair number of truly resonant scenes." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 28, 2008	A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (1987)	71%
2/5	"Mildly titillating, but not very good." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
3/5	"Even thought it's the third such effort to employ handheld camera in a zombie flick, this has more than enough shocks to hold its own." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 11, 2008	[Rec] (2007)	90%
5/5	"Al Pacino delivers a powerful performance in this compelling biopic of a cop and a city's police force." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 9, 2008	Serpico (1973)	94%
3/5	"Originating the genre of 'dedicated teacher reaches troubled kids in a ghetto school', this is still affecting although heavy-handed." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 8, 2008	Blackboard Jungle (1955)	76%
4/5	"This gets progressively nastier and winds up with an impressive hellfire finish." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 8, 2008	Elmer Gantry (1960)	96%
3/5	"It's mental but charming, so that's OK." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 6, 2008	I'm A Cyborg (2006)	80%
5/5	"Lemmon and Mathau's finest hour." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2008	The Odd Couple (1968)	100%
4/5	"Still sounds great, and looks as good as ever through Ray-Bans." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2008	The Blues Brothers (1980)	78%
3/5	"It's an enjoyable family film." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 25, 2008	Maverick (1994)	69%
3/5	"Towards the end you wish they'd just get it over with, but this film usually overcomes even the most cynical viewer's resistance." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 24, 2008	Forget Paris (1995)	52%
3/5	"The remake/parody sequences are outstanding, but Black�s all-over-the-place mania and Mos Def�s bland orphan hero don�t quite tie the rest of the picture together. Still, it has heart." -- Empire Magazine Australasia Posted Mar 20, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	65%
4/5	"This is a respectful and complex work of fiction around the concepts of the biblical character and his life." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 19, 2008	The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)	81%
4/5	"Letter-perfect performances from Day-Lewis and Postlethwaite do a lot more than a dozen editorials to make an unforgettable point about the miscarriage of justice." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 11, 2008	In the Name of the Father (1993)	95%
4/5	"At once realistic and idealised, this is a rare attempt to make drama of ordinary people doing the right thing." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 11, 2008	The Snapper (1993)	97%
4/5	"*Simply put, no Akira, no Matrix. It's that important." -- Empire Magazine* Posted Mar 10, 2008	Akira (1988)	87%
3/5	"Some okay thrills with good performances and some smarts. But the last reel plunge spoils things." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	37%
4/5	"A raw, vivid despatch from the frontline, this melds content with frights in classic Romero style. An outstanding exercise in showing the kids how to do it." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
4/5	"This Rodney Dangerfield vehicle is a lot better than it should be." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 27, 2008	Back to School (1986)	87%
4/5	"If you�ve got the stomach for strong scenes of torture, and the heart to take part in an uncomfortable debate about human nature, this intelligent horror is well worth your time..." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 22, 2008	WAZ (2007)	77%
4/5	"Kurosawa is always worth a look but this is a particular classic that has influenced so much to come, it's almost essential." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 21, 2008	Rashomon (1950)	100%
3/5	"*There�s just enough whimsical good humour to carry Be Kind Rewind, but Michel Gondry�s latest does tend to keep crashing into �oh come on now, what were you thinking?� self-indulgence." -- Empire Magazine* Posted Feb 20, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	65%
4/5	"Deserving to be seen and remembered for so much more than that kiss, this is old school drama of the highest order." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 20, 2008	From Here to Eternity (1953)	89%
5/5	"Painfully sincere and uncompromising look at alcoholism for a film released in 1945, with a superb central performance." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 20, 2008	The Lost Weekend (1945)	96%
3/5	"Ambiguous and intriguing." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 11, 2008	Poison Ivy (1992)	46%
4/5	"Whether horror fans are ready for high-notes or musical buffs will appreciate Dario Argento levels of gore is an open question, but this is a rich, demented experience." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 24, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
2/5	"Strays slightly from the formula and therefore loses some of its mindless fun credentials." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 14, 2008	Rambo III (1988)	36%
2/5	"This just can�t compete in an arena with the likes of The Departed - which at least makes a point of its contrived storyline - let alone the high watermark set for cops vs. drugs drama by the TV series The Wire." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 13, 2007	We Own The Night (2007)	55%
2/5	"Not quite a complete write-off, but basically a folly." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 11, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
3/5	"A standard shudder picture, with an impressive, chilling apparition." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 7, 2007	Kilometro 31 (2006)	71%
3/5	"Director Allan Moyle travels a quirky road too often trod by aspirant indie pics." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 14, 2007	Weirdsville (2007)	56%
5/5	"Acutely observed, beautifully performed, lovingly directed media morality tale that resonates far beyond its 1950s setting." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 8, 2007	Quiz Show (1994)	96%
2/5	"Previously, Jigsaw and the filmmakers played fair, but too much about this latest instalment seems simply arbitrary." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 3, 2007	Saw IV (2007)	19%
3/5	"More Damon Runyan than Irvine Welsh, but as entertaining as it is important." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 23, 2007	The Man with the Golden Arm (1955)	81%
4/5	"By refusing to explain Ripley, this gets closer to Highsmith�s character than any other film version." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 22, 2007	The American Friend (1977)	88%
2/5	"That this is just about passable as a divorced parent�s weekend treat is down to Roberts� charm and the timeless appeal of Nancy herself." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 19, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	48%
3/5	"A little bit of going through the motions with this horror spoof but fans will enjoy" -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 16, 2007	Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)	90%
4/5	"Make up your own sheep-related pun - ewe�ll love it, mutton to be ashamed of, ram-bunctious etc. If you only see one zombie sheep movie, you won�t have a lot of choice, but this certainly delivers all you could wish for." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 10, 2007	Black Sheep (2007)	71%
2/5	"*This take on Halloween* is grim and nasty, but never remotely scary.*" -- Empire Magazine* Posted Oct 5, 2007	Halloween (2007)	27%
4/5	"It relates to Night Watch the way X2 relates to X-Men: you need to have seen the earlier film to have a hope of following the plot, but it�s a bigger, deeper, more exhilarating ride." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2007	Day Watch (2007)	65%
5/5	"Even though he was just staring out, Kubrick instantly mastered the crime genre. A stunning film." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 3, 2007	The Killing (1956)	96%
3/5	"Kubrick's second feature shows his promise as a powerful and iconic director in motifs and style." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 3, 2007	Killer's Kiss (1955)	82%
3/5	"This offers moments of suspense, some pointed scenes and star charisma, but it�s also a touch confused. Heads will be scratched before they roll." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 28, 2007	Michael Clayton (2007)	91%
4/5	"One of those little science fiction movies that, once seen (and it's a TV staple) is never forgotten." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2007	Village of the Damned (1960)	100%
5/5	"Still the greatest multi-story ghost/horror picture." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2007	Dead of Night (1945)	95%
3/5	"In 1982, Paul Schrader seemed a very odd choice to remake Val Lewton's classic 1943 horror movie. The original was a model of restraint and subtlety and the remake, frankly, isn't." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2007	Cat People (1982)	64%
