3/6	" And while it may not teach sprogs anything about insects � these ones have human eyes and four limbs � director Ben Stassen has made a fair fist of portraying the Apollo mission with some accuracy. " -- Time Out Posted Oct 3, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
3/6	" While most of the deadpan remarks hit the spot, the erratic sketch-like editing and overall slapdash structure give it an air of incompleteness. Fun in parts, slipshod in others. " -- Time Out Posted Sep 26, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	57%
4/6	" Ultimately, though, it�s the kids� movie; both Butterfield and Scanlon deliver strong, poignant performances. Just prepare to leave the screening feeling somewhat depressed. " -- Time Out Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)	81%
3/6	" Jacquet�s golden-hued cautionary tale is beautiful to look at. It�s also accurate in the way the time frame of friendship unfolds, and is spot on in illustrating our tendency to anthropomorphise cute animals." -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Fox & the Child (2008)	47%
4/6	" Chow�s film is a charming, funny illustration of family life that explores the notion of being given a second chance. A kids� comedy with a heart. " -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	51%
3/6	" I succumbed to the very occasional charms of this fair, good-natured romcom adventure and left the screening in quite a good mood. " -- Time Out Posted Apr 18, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	11%
3/6	" Faintly egotistical biologist-turned-filmmaker Rob Stewart spent four years making this investigative doc and the result, despite his tendency towards over-earnest, stoner-esque commentary, is enlightening, shocking and more than a little worrying." -- Time Out Posted Feb 22, 2008	Sharkwater (2007)	81%
3/6	" Tapping into the primeval fear generated by these perfectly evolved killing machines, the filmmakers ratchet up the tension, while sustaining our interest in the fate of the trio." -- Time Out Posted Feb 22, 2008	Black Water (2007)	79%
3/6	" A fair-to-middling contemporary fantasy drama that, despite its surfeit of flashy effects, is mildly charming in the way it addresses the injustice of old folk having to live out their final years in decrepit homes." -- Time Out Posted Jan 24, 2008	Man in the Chair (2007)	50%
4/6	" It�s only when the story hits the streets of NYC and Adams starts hamming it up (much like Julie Hagerty did in �Airplane�) that we start seeing the fruits of a grand Mickey-take. " -- Time Out Posted Dec 13, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%
5/6	" Whether it�s a crisp aerial shot of a wolf taking down a caribou, night footage of lions tackling an elephant, there isn�t a moment that doesn�t fill one with awe." -- Time Out Posted Nov 14, 2007	Earth (2007)	100%
3/6	" The overweight middle section is repetitive, contrived and, well, boring. But at least the views are spectacular and Brosnan, especially, is likeably quirky." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2007	Seraphim Falls (2007)	54%
3/6	" Leth�s gritty, haphazardly edited film plays like a music video, with jagged rap sequences interlaced with urgent handheld Super 8-style footage and a stonking shanty-blues soundtrack." -- Time Out Posted Jul 20, 2007	Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007)	81%
4/6	" There�s much to admire here, even if you�re not into cycling. Douglas Mackinnon�s made a fine fist of a great little underdog story." -- Time Out Posted Jun 28, 2007	The Flying Scotsman (2007)	50%
	" The lack of sentimentality will be utterly refreshing to those raised on a diet of Disney." -- Time Out Posted Jun 19, 2007	My Neighbor Totoro (1988)	87%
	" An affecting inquest into the nature of courage, mortality, grief and the healing power of faith." -- Time Out Posted May 3, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	85%
	" Youngsters will warm to the barn�s talking animals and perhaps even shed a tear at the sight of a spider shuffling off the mortal coil. Arachnaphobes, though, are advised to approach with caution." -- Time Out Posted Feb 8, 2007	Charlotte's Web (2006)	78%
	" *Director George 'Babe' Miller has pulled off a coup with this one; he�s raised the benchmark to a whole new level, both visually and conceptually. Bravo." -- Time Out* Posted Dec 30, 2006	Happy Feet (2006)	74%
	" A warm, mature, thought-provoking film that is, at times, surreal, often hilarious and ultimately very touching. Nice one, Bobcat." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)	63%
	" Both heartfelt and ultimately optimistic." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	The Island (2007)	57%
	" An ideal vehicle for Yuen, who is a dab hand at filming imaginative hand-to-hand combat sequences." -- Time Out Posted Sep 23, 2006	DOA: Dead or Alive (2007)	35%
	" What makes the film so effective is not so much the slightly sinister characterisation of the generally neurotic group, but the fact that [director] Wise makes the house itself the central character, a beautifully designed and highly atmospheric entity." -- Time Out Posted Sep 23, 2006	The Haunting (1963)	87%
	" *Infus[es] a similar unearthly cadenceo the swashbuckling genre that Jodorowski did to the western with El Topo." -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Saragossa Manuscript (1965)	89%
	" Raised out of the ordinary by an ingenious safe raid, an above-average car chase, and some nice location work." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Gordon's War (1973)	n/a
	" Fincher handles the violence with sensitivity, announcing its obscenity in spoken analyses and briefly glimpsed post mortem shots, but never showing the murderous acts themselves." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Seven (1995)	84%
	" *Although this rarely achieves the heights of classics like Snow White* and Dumbo, it still has its moments.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	Sleeping Beauty (1959)	85%
	" Writer/director Minghella's second feature brings ambivalence and a touch of realpolitik to the stuff of candyfloss romance." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Mr. Wonderful (1993)	59%
	" Not likely to set the world alight, but a neat and engaging little comedy of bad manners." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Quick Change (1990)	84%
	" This first feature from acclaimed TV director Woolcock may not entirely come off, but at least it's not playing safe." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Principles of Lust (2003)	60%
	" Roeg, often using a dazzling technical skill, jettisons narrative in favour of thematic juxtapositions, working best when exploring the clich�s of social and cultural ritual." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)	86%
	" Recut by the studio and generally considered to be a failure, it's nevertheless an oddly moving film that sticks obstinately and agreeably in the mind." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Great Moment (1944)	83%
	" Extremely funny, ultra-hip and alarmingly insightful." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Modern Romance (1981)	86%
	" The film lays bare the roots of Patton's lust for power in his willingess to sacrifice everything to his vaunting ego, a trait which is mirrored in George C Scott's superb performance." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Patton (1970)	97%
4/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Memories of Underdevelopment (1968)	83%
	" Characteristically elephantine Big Top epic from DeMille, thumped across with a winning brashness and garnering the veteran showman his first Best Picture Oscar." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)	41%
	" The finished article is so CGI-like that you wonder whether all that organic stop-frame stuff was necessary. Sorry, chaps." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)	95%
	" It's a Cinderella story that gets turned on its head, a satire about breaking down class and emotional barriers, and a confrontation between New World callousness and Old World humanity." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Sabrina (1954)	96%
	" *Perhaps not quite so resonant as Psycho* to which it pays due homage, but it breathes the same air.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	Halloween (1978)	91%
	" Highly enjoyable." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Seven Days in May (1964)	100%
	" For what is essentially a one-joke movie, this has an awful lot going for it." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)	77%
	" It's a spectacular return to the shimmering, mesmerising deep-focus animation associated with Disney's classic period..." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Secret of NIMH (1982)	94%
3/6	" Presented here in a newly restored digital print, it should look especially swish on the big screen." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Goldfinger (1964)	96%
	" A wonderful film." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Silent Running (1971)	67%
	" Pixel perfect." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	A Bug's Life (1998)	91%
	" Romero's is a formidable talent which others can only hope to ape." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Monkey Shines (1988)	48%
	" Worth seeing the last half hour, if nothing else, for one of the best stunt sequences in years: McQueen's motor-cycle bid for freedom." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Great Escape (1963)	91%
	" The balance tilts towards action and gags, and does them gloriously." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Monsters, Inc. (2001)	95%
	" An elegant and eloquent film, nevertheless, even if the characteristically laconic Fordian poetry seems more contrived here." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	How Green Was My Valley (1941)	88%
	" *Miller's choreography of his innumerable vehicles is so extraordinary that it makes Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark* look like a kid fooling with Dinky Toys.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Road Warrior (1981)	100%
	" One of the most enthralling and exhilarating American movies in ages." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Magnolia (1999)	84%
