3/6	"Tautly mounted, it all looks authentically old fashioned, and there are a few nuggets of amusing dialogue amid the occasional violence, sexual debauchery, political corruption and overall hedonistic atmosphere." -- Time Out Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
2/6	"Bono should refrain from ramming his preachy political meanderings down our throats and let the music do the talking. Even if some of that music becomes a little stultifying." -- Time Out Posted Feb 22, 2008	U2 3D (2008)	92%
2/6	"Let�s not be too Scrooge-like; there are pockets of charm, and some of the effects are quite good." -- Time Out Posted Dec 13, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
2/6	"Chapman was on a simple, skewed quest for infamy. And he got it. One gathers he�d be chuffed to see this film. And that�s the biggest issue of all." -- Time Out Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	34%
1/6	"There�s a cool opening credits sequence, but beyond that �Hitman� doesn�t make much sense, is encumbered by clunky dialogue, some amateurish performances and clich�d set-pieces we�ve seen umpteen times before." -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2007	Hitman (2007)	14%
2/6	"This is seedy, morally defunct, low-IQ cinema for airheads: it�s toe-curlingly violent and mostly plain nasty, but quite fun in a debauched kind of way." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
	"While Carpenter's film was all about economy and a skilful use of empty space, Miner's busy compositions have a cluttered feel that is echoed by superfluous orchestral music." -- Time Out Posted Aug 16, 2007	Halloween: H2O (1998)	51%
3/6	"A shame it lacks the smart sassiness of its predecessors. Time to call time, we think." -- Time Out Posted Jun 29, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
	"Petrol-headed fifty-somethings into Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers will probably relate to some of the funnier scenes. The rest, including pre-teens, are advised to avoid it like el plago." -- Time Out Posted Apr 12, 2007	Wild Hogs (2007)	15%
	"The first 20 minutes of this competently animated kids� adventure are entertaining enough. But thereafter, the plot fractures, the pace goes into overdrive and the jokes wear thin." -- Time Out Posted Mar 31, 2007	Meet the Robinsons (2007)	66%
	"An immensely interesting though finally unsuccessful film." -- Time Out Posted Mar 24, 2007	Sign of the Pagan (1954)	50%
	"Luc Besson�s half-baked live-action/animated fantasy looks like it was invented on the hoof: it�s erratically plotted, poorly animated, overly derivative and too insufferably cute to interest anyone above undemanding toddler age." -- Time Out Posted Jan 25, 2007	Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)	20%
	"Irresponsible content notwithstanding, it�s the low standard of filmmaking that really defies belief." -- Time Out Posted Dec 30, 2006	Unaccompanied Minors (2006)	27%
	"... an aimless and riotous mess." -- Time Out Posted Dec 30, 2006	Night at the Museum (2006)	44%
	"You�ve got to hand it to director Michael Lembeck� he�s succeeded in persuading studio bosses to let him make not one but two sequels from premises that were dead in the water from the word go." -- Time Out Posted Nov 23, 2006	The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)	13%
	"Loud, raucous and dispiritingly unfunny." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2006	Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006)	23%
	"Of the dressed-to-thrill cast, only [Alex] Pettyfer disappoints; he just looks and sounds too bland to be a teen hero. But I�ll leave that for the kids to decide." -- Time Out Posted Jul 20, 2006	Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)	33%
	"Eminently forgettable." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Saint (1997)	30%
	"On the long list of comedy ideas screenwriters should never have had, this film must rank high." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	So Fine (1981)	n/a
	"The star and his numbskull cronies piss on Capra's grave with acrid insincerity." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Mr. Deeds (2002)	22%
	"[An] aimless movie." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Howard the Duck (1986)	19%
	"A hammed-up version of the old chestnut about the ventriloquist who is 'taken over' by his dummy, clumsily adapted by William Goldman from his own novel." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Magic (1978)	82%
	"While the pre-pubescents continually scream, their doting parents prove equally odious in a finale of astounding sentimentality." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Goonies (1985)	63%
	"This time it ends with the underdogs together. Oddly enough, it's this conclusion that feels phony, seeing as Stoltz has spent the last 80 minutes arranging his dream date with Lea." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)	77%
	"This makes little concession to non-initiates." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Star Trek: First Contact (1996)	91%
	"If all this sounds convoluted, well, it's a toddlers' film and anything goes." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)	19%
	"Dire." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	My Favorite Martian (1999)	13%
	"The best special effects are in the first five minutes. Thereafter, it's all rather predictable." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Starman (1984)	82%
	"Few people can be so big-hearted as to tolerate Ed's agonizing brand of pedantic humour." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Good Burger (1997)	31%
	"True, it tries to be tongue-in-cheek, but really it�s just cheek." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)	34%
	"Characterisation is regulation thin, plotting largely nonsensical, 'camerawork' and effects increasingly pyrotechnical until an amazing final light show inside the Ark." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Spriggan (2001)	54%
	"The result is a variety concert of a film in which most of the acts/jokes fall flat." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Magic Christian (1969)	53%
	"Sometimes, when you've just wasted a tenner and a perfectly good evening watching another dumb, gratuitously gun-filled, hackneyed, nonsensical action picture, don't you wish you were as thick, lazy and easily pleased as Hollywood wants you to be?" -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Half Past Dead (2002)	2%
	"You have what Scrooge himself might call 'Ho-hum-bug.'" -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	A Christmas Carol (1951)	84%
	"*The Nashville* of its day, Grand Hotel's reputation has outgrown its actual quality*" -- Time Out* Posted Jun 24, 2006	Grand Hotel (1932)	84%
	"By the end, the accumulated weight and lethargy of the production fails to invest Sophie's fate with the significance Styron achieves." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Sophie's Choice (1982)	84%
	"The design is often brilliant, although the film is nowhere near as tasteless or funny as it ought to be." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Monkeybone (2001)	19%
	"One is left longing for Hitchcock's dark, daring wit and disturbingly amoral insights." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Stepfather (1987)	87%
	"Monroe flaunts her attributes too blatantly, and seems less human because of it, while George Axelrod's play, fresh and risqu� in the '50s, now appears a little obvious and over-plotted." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Seven Year Itch (1955)	88%
	"Polanski's evident desire to elicit understated, naturalistic performances from his cast also underplays the poetry of the play..." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Macbeth (1971)	86%
	"Nice as it would be to report that Ang and his co-writer/producer James Schamus had regenerated the summer blockbuster, we gotta poop the party." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Hulk (2003)	61%
	"The storyline wanes towards the end and, from the kids� point of view, the whole package lacks momentum." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)	56%
	"Weird, then, how the cast play as if holding their breath for the pay cheque." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Stealing Harvard (2002)	8%
	"The film looks good and has its funny moments, but too often one senses Anderson straining to impress..." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Punch-Drunk Love (2002)	79%
	"The net effect, between embarrassed guffaws, is incredulity: a movie at once post-TV and pre-DW Griffith." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)	92%
	"William Goldman's leisurely script and Forbes' dull direction never quite capture the subtleties of Ira Levin's novel about an idyllic Connecticut commuter village where the housewives are a bunch of domesticated dummies." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Stepford Wives (1975)	67%
	"So what's all the fuss about? If people want to staple paper to their inner thighs, let them. The question is whether you're prepared to pay to watch them do it." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Jackass: The Movie (2002)	49%
	"Teen Oriented Voyeurism rules as the protagonist (Brown) stalks his prey (and her stand-in) armed with cameras, binoculars, and an overtly Oedipal mix of fear and desire." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Private Lessons (1981)	0%
	"Put in a baking tray, gas mark 7, and enjoy a turkey." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Jaws 3 (1983)	12%
	"Mediocre, really, this mixture of real actors and animation." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Pagemaster (1994)	20%
