2/6	"Although mounted with no little efficiency by director Pete Travis (who previously made the TV drama-doc �Omagh�), the narrative enterprise actually hides a one-dimensional world view, with civilian casualties mere background set dressing. " -- Time Out Posted Mar 7, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
2/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Accidental Husband (2008)	0%
1/6	"Skimming through comedy, satire and cautionary tale, it�s all somewhat vague � exasperatingly so when suggestive artiness seems to have been intended. Not as clever as it thinks." -- Time Out Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Good Night (2007)	26%
	"It verges on the cherishably daft." -- Time Out Posted Jan 15, 2008	Edith and Marcel (1983)	n/a
2/6	"With all the will in the world, this is a mere footnote to Attenborough�s distinguished filmography." -- Time Out Posted Dec 28, 2007	Closing the Ring (2007)	27%
1/6	"Quite how this segues into a grand finale defining bathos to the strains of Beethoven almost beggars description, but failed seriousness to this degree of screaming awfulness is choice indeed � unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. " -- Time Out Posted Dec 13, 2007	Chromophobia (2005)	31%
2/6	"This is good-natured, determinedly aspirational African-American entertainment, but did it have to be quite so heavy on the clich�s?" -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
2/6	"Kenneth Branagh�s direction, its self-consciously skewed angles and surveillance-cam cutaways highlighting his weakness for the misplaced flourish, is more of a hindrance than a help. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 21, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	35%
	"Silent-cinema genius he may well have been, but by this time in his career Abel Gance was creatively a shadow of his former self." -- Time Out Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Battle of Austerlitz (1960)	n/a
3/6	"Streep�s impassioned performance exemplifies the seriousness of the stakes, but a lot of liberal hand-wringing, however commendable, does not in itself a movie make. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 8, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
	"A dismally unfunny shambles." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2007	Best Defense (1984)	n/a
1/6	"A total dud." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2007	The Seeker (2007)	13%
3/6	"Beautifully played, the tantalising accretion of mutual understanding between Foster and Howard is one of the film�s strengths, yet the plot machinations required to lever it into position would overstretch credibility in the clunkiest action flick." -- Time Out Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Brave One (2007)	44%
2/6	"Branagh�s fifth foray into celluloid Shakespeare brings us this rather stodgy version of the Bard�s wise comedy of old Japan." -- Time Out Posted Sep 21, 2007	As You Like It (2006)	31%
3/6	"Not unwatchable, but a distinct let-down, since this crew surely had a more incisive movie in them." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Serpent (2006)	85%
	"A real dinosaur." -- Time Out Posted Sep 10, 2007	Frank Zappa - Two Hundred Motels (1971)	67%
2/6	"Although the writing�s exploration of common humanity across the social divide offers occasional worthwhile moral provocation, its evident theatricality also works against any sense of urban authenticity." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2007	Sugarhouse (2007)	29%
	"While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 16, 2007	Sin City (2005)	77%
	"Yes, she sings �Je ne regrette rien�, and, yes, we cry. Yet the tears are for the song and the memory of a remarkable artist. They�re very little to do with this strenuously crafted yet ultimately bungled 140 minutes of celluloid." -- Time Out Posted Jun 22, 2007	La Vie En Rose (2007)	75%
	"It�s not pretty, but it�s certainly vacant." -- Time Out Posted Jun 14, 2007	Vacancy (2007)	56%
	"It�s not unintriguing, but without anything resembling a dramatic progression, the going soon gets stodgy." -- Time Out Posted May 31, 2007	Klimt (2006)	29%
	"Like a poor man’s Tony Scott movie." -- Time Out Posted Apr 27, 2007	Typhoon (2006)	22%
	"A movie which has been put together with occasional skill but lacks a compelling reason to exist." -- Time Out Posted Apr 19, 2007	Alpha Dog (2007)	55%
	"Personable enough, though genuine belly laughs are in short supply." -- Time Out Posted Apr 5, 2007	Blades of Glory (2007)	69%
	"Occasionally arresting ideas and a non-condescending attitude to its pre-teen protagonists give this more character than many effects-driven family fantasies, even if it�s ultimately too wonky in construction to sweep us along convincingly." -- Time Out Posted Mar 31, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
	"It might have been one of the great all-time mad, bad movies but for one thing � it�s just sooo boring." -- Time Out Posted Mar 17, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
	"One wonders whether the documentary format would have better served the material than this ill-focused drama. Since real-life family and observers chime in over the end credits, perhaps the filmmakers were thinking the same thing." -- Time Out Posted Mar 14, 2007	Factory Girl (2007)	19%
	"Clearly, Lee has an extraordinary eye, but wilful self-indulgence leads him astray here." -- Time Out Posted Mar 8, 2007	Duelist (2005)	40%
	"Schumacher keeps it pacy, the murky camerawork�s very cool, Carrey suitably wide-eyed, but its limitations are finally only too obvious." -- Time Out Posted Feb 15, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%
	"The unquestioning lionising of Russian heroism is far from comfortable viewing, especially given the Putin regime�s darkening human rights record." -- Time Out Posted Feb 14, 2007	The 9th Company (2005)	79%
	"A game of two halves, both of them dire." -- Time Out Posted Feb 7, 2007	Goal II: Living the Dream (2007)	43%
	"Even goodwill can�t make this look like anything more than a glorified TV special. Surely it�s time for the audience to throw in the towel?" -- Time Out Posted Jan 16, 2007	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
	"The storytelling here is murkier than required, causing the pace to flag alarmingly in the second half." -- Time Out Posted Nov 2, 2006	Crime Novel (2005)	53%
	"What should have been an incisive study of the American political scene turns out a lumbering celluloid white elephant." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	All The King's Men (2006)	12%
	"Relatively compelling at the time, it�s just a bit too glib to resonate for much longer afterwards." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2006	The Last Kiss (2006)	46%
	"A bit dull, since Dillon�s constrained playing the straight guy, Hudson has little to work with, and Douglas looks bored." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2006	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
	"What was [Shyamalan] thinking? This isn't just duff, it�s career-threatening catastrophic." -- Time Out Posted Aug 10, 2006	Lady in the Water (2006)	24%
	"*Completing the trail of cryptic clues simply becomes an end in and of itself -- think Sudoku: The Movie* -- with little in the way of whimsy, star chemistry or excitement to enliven the dour plod.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%
	"*For a film about an unfancied underdog, Seabiscuit* is just far too pleased with itself.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	Seabiscuit (2003)	78%
	"This belated, albeit decorative adaptation looks tamely second-hand." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Phantom (1996)	43%
	"A new low in lame spoofery." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)	14%
	"l, yet the movie�s There�s spiky humour and ample breathing room for the material, yet the movie's rather too intent on parading its own wisdom." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Upside of Anger (2005)	74%
	"Its formulaic moves seem particuarly tired." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Firewall (2006)	19%
	"The use of child jeopardy as a cheap suspense mechanism is somewhat dubious, but one's unease is slightly mollified by the fact that much of this is far too silly to take seriously." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Bless the Child (2000)	3%
	"A domestic tragedy masquerading as a frothy frolic." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Click (2006)	31%
	"With audiences jaded by the usual sex and splatter, do the filmmakers have no qualms about juicing up proceedings with edgy but troubling material which clearly needs more conscientious handling? Apparently not." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Running Scared (2006)	40%
	"The end result is still short of a winning hand, since the screenplay is so utterly predictable." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Rounders (1998)	64%
	"The combination of button-pushing uplift, sundry sweeping helicopter shots and a bombastic score that sounds like it came on a free transfer from a Tony Scott movie proves as resistibly synthetic as the CGI-enhanced heroics on the pitch." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Goal! (2006)	43%
