Kung Fu Panda (2008)88%

2/5
 
"This lacklustre adventure wants to be Romancing The Stone: The Swimwear Edition. Coasting on the skimpy charm of its bronzed stars and Caribbean location, Fool’s Gold is sunny enough but desperately unfunny." --

Fool's Gold (2008)10%

Fool's Gold (2008)10%

4/5
 
"Andersson’s movie reveals poetic ironies, surreal slapstick and melancholy truths, often all wrapped up together. The gloom gets a bit thick over the 92 minutes, but there are sequences here you will never forget." -- Total Film
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
You, The Living (2007)100%
/
3/5
 
"Korine comes back strong with an affected but intermittently affecting curio featuring the pseudo-starriest line-up you’ll ever see. Flying nuns on BMX bikes will be a leap of faith for many, but the wild black laughs keep things grounded." -- Total Film

Savages (1972)n/a

"This is the funniest picture since Borat, and more emotionally nuanced than you would expect." -- CNN.com
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
Superbad (2007)87%
/
4/5
 
"A teenage art-flick, Paranoid Park proves the most fluent and coherent of Gus Van Sant’s recent experiments. Part crime mystery, part coming-of-age story, it’s positively overflowing with burnished imagery and adolescent turmoil." -- Total Film
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
Paranoid Park (2008)74%

"Watching The Bucket List may not inspire philosophical introspection, but it's quite likely to make you re-examine your priorities. At least as far as movie-going is concerned." -- CNN.com
Posted Dec 27, 2007
 
The Bucket List (2007)42%
/
 
"Maybe it wasn't his fault those chickens came home to roost in the form of the Taliban, but you have to wonder: Would Nichols have given Oliver North such an easy ride?" -- CNN.com
Posted Dec 27, 2007
 
Charlie Wilson's War (2007)83%
/
3/5
 
"An uneven black comedy-thriller that’s nonetheless worth catching for Téa Leoni’s bracingly sharp performance and the inspired idea of putting hitman Ben Kingsley into AA. Just focus on the well-etched characters and don’t worry too much about the plot." -- Total Film
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
You Kill Me (2007)79%
/
 
"The Kingdom works as an exotic action thriller, but its politics are so choked on checks and balances it cancels itself out." -- CNN.com
Posted Nov 30, 2007
 
The Kingdom (2007)51%
/
 
"An excellent showcase for the advantages of computer-generated animation." -- CNN.com
Posted Nov 24, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)69%

3/5
 
"Depressingly compelling." -- Total Film
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)79%
/
4/5
 
"In his fourth and best film to date, Sean Penn has made an eco-road movie that refreshes and invigorates. Exquisitely shot, robustly acted and deeply felt, it’s a potent ode to wanderlust and human pluck." -- Total Film
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Into the Wild (2007)83%
/
2/5
 
"A strong, proven premise, drained of almost all feeling and personality. Hirschbiegel’s Hollywood debut sporadically grips – but like Kidman and Craig’s characters, you’ll most likely end up battling to stay awake." -- Total Film
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
The Invasion (2007)19%
/
3/5
 
"Backed by a fine cast (including sardonic narrator Alec Baldwin), there’s no argument: Blitz is a confident new voice." -- Total Film
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
Rocket Science (2007)84%
/
2/5
 
"Veering between kneejerk homophobia and PC proselytising for gay rights – often in the same scene – Dennis Dugan’s comedy is an unhappy union." -- Total Film

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)13%

4/5
 
"This curio sometimes bemuses, but it’s utterly fresh and alive." -- Total Film

Syndromes and A Century (2007)87%

"James Mangold's expert and entertaining 3:10 to Yuma demonstrates both the Western's age-old appeal, and the problems it presents to a contemporary filmmaker." -- CNN.com

3:10 to Yuma (2007)89%

"A crash course in Javanese symbolism is advised before viewing, but few current movies can boast a more of breath-stopping images." -- Total Film

Opera Jawa (2006)100%

"Resurrecting the Champ is authentic in its newsroom scenes, and appropriately concerned at how entertainment value trumps diligent reporting." -- CNN.com

Resurrecting the Champ (2007)61%
/
4/5
 
"A true story about a fake biography, Lasse Hallström’s film is a spry escapade." -- Total Film
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
 
"There's still enough suspense built into the saga to keep us watching, but after five installments, this dazzling box office wizard is slowly running out of tricks." -- CNN.com

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)77%

"Of course there is nothing inherently wrong with preaching to the converted -- secular Hollywood does it all the time. But I confess I wish the movie had some of the passion of The Passion of the Christ." -- CNN.com

The Nativity Story (2006)39%

"For all its gimmicky numerology, The Number 23 just doesn't add up." -- CNN.com

"This one's DOA." -- CNN.com

Perfect Stranger (2007)10%

"The illusion is shattered whenever the 'bots start talking or the action stops. Bay tries to gloss over the infantile plot, but it would take a lighter, wittier touch to square the movie's pedestrian script." -- CNN.com
Posted Jul 2, 2007
 
Transformers (2007)57%
/
 
"A smart and snappy thriller that makes light work of its ethical dilemmas, Fracture is a little too neat and tidy to stick in the mind for long, but the Hopkins-Gosling pairing is choice, and neither comes up short." -- CNN.com
Posted Jun 30, 2007
 
Fracture (2007)71%

"It's not impossible that this bitterly funny, bitterly sad call to alms could move reform back up the political agenda. For that reason alone, you owe it to yourself to see this movie." -- CNN.com
Posted Jun 29, 2007
 
Sicko (2007)93%

"Crisply put together but just passably amusing, the movie is innocuous, light, and -- obviously -- very, very slight." -- CNN.com

Nancy Drew (2007)49%

"It’s a long, strange trip, alternately banal and visionary." -- Total Film

"An entertaining night out at the movies. Have some popcorn." -- CNN.com

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%

"A refreshingly frank, funny odd-couple comedy with engaging leads and too many belly laughs to count." -- CNN.com
Posted Jun 3, 2007
 
Knocked Up (2007)91%
/
 
"The entire franchise seems on the verge of collapse, propelled to construct ever more grandiose flights of fancy. Without those sequences, there would be nothing there -- but a movie cannot exist on rollick alone." -- CNN.com
Posted May 27, 2007
 
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)45%
/
 
"Combines traditional B-movie virtues -- economy, invention, sinewy narrative spine -- with the eerily resonant spectacle of a 21st-century metropolis stripped of its citizenry." -- CNN.com

28 Weeks Later (2007)71%

4/5
 
"The focus is narrow, but its scrutiny is absolutely unerring." -- Total Film
Posted May 4, 2007
 
Mutual Appreciation (2006)88%

"An extravagant three-ring circus of a movie from director Sam Raimi, but it's not without a struggle." -- CNN.com

Spider-Man 3 (2007)61%

"The dynamic duo do their utmost to transport us back to the good old bad old days." -- CNN.com

Grindhouse (2007)81%

"Ferrell isn't breaking new ground, but one day -- when he's branching out to play psycho killers and getting in touch with his inner Thespian -- we'll look back on his clowning period and wonder why he would want to do anything else." -- CNN.com

"Kidman wades in over her depth in this genuinely odd but disappointingly flat attempt to recast a biopic as a fairytale." -- Total Film

"Low-key but all the more compelling for it, Zodiac is the first must-see movie of 2007." -- CNN.com

Zodiac (2007)89%
/
 
"Ray's careful emphasis on authenticity over thrills and psychology over action is impeded by this narrative's narrow window: there's so much we can't know about what Hanssen did and why." -- CNN.com

Breach (2007)84%

"Recycling every cliche in the rom-com handbook, it's clear from the very first that Lehmann has sacrificed his characters on the altar of sappy endings. What a waste -- for everybody." -- CNN.com

"I think what's most valuable here is the gentle reminder that lives are short, friendship is priceless and words can make a difference. The movie Charlotte's Web isn't a classic, but the message is." -- CNN.com
