	"Jersey Girl marks a low point for the tubby New Jersey auteur." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 23, 2008	Jersey Girl (2004)	40%
4/5	"Surrender to its exotic oddity and guttural throat-singing and you�ll be entertained by a sweeping saga that�s like a Mongolian Braveheart." -- Total Film Posted Jun 6, 2008	Mongol (2008)	88%
4/5	"A powerful, provocative and excellently acted thriller that could literally have been torn from today's headlines." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 6, 2008	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
2/5	"There's no light at the end of the tunnel in this misguided romp whose solitary redeeming feature is its quality cast." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Apr 25, 2008	Three and Out (2008)	20%
2/5	"With every twist of the second-hand plot telegraphed far in advance, you don't need to be clairvoyant to see where this is going." -- BBC Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Eye (2008)	21%
3/5	"Ralph Fiennes is no Sexy Beast and writer/director Martin McDonagh is stronger on dialogue than story, but this is still a laugh-out-loud dark comedy, giving Colin Farrell his finest role in ages." -- Total Film Posted Apr 18, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	80%
3/5	""Are there any square cops out there?" says a supporting character in David Ayer's actioner. The answer, of course, is no - and this violent yarn is all the better for it. Next time out, though, he should probably assign himself a less familiar beat." -- Total Film Posted Apr 18, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
2/5	"In the end, though, there's only so much slack you can give a film that wears its cheapness and ineptitude like badges of honour." -- BBC Posted Apr 18, 2008	Botched (2007)	14%
3/5	"Given the true story that inspired it, 21 really should have been a sure-fire bet. As it is, it�s a split hand that only pays off thanks to Fishburne and Spacey. Still beats Lucky You, though." -- Total Film Posted Apr 11, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
3/5	"Viewers who stick with it will be rewarded by an arresting tapestry that is considerably more than the sum of its parts." -- BBC Posted Mar 28, 2008	You, The Living (2007)	100%
2/5	"Little more than a Disney cash-cow entirely wasted on anyone old enough to smoke, drink or vote." -- BBC Posted Mar 14, 2008	Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008)	75%
5/5	"Ridiculously entertaining." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Mar 10, 2008	The Jungle Book (1967)	88%
2/5	"A retro pastiche that, like The Good German before it, will be of limited interest to all but the most ardent film buff." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Mar 7, 2008	Fade to Black (2006)	29%
4/5	"A movie that manages to be both brilliantly witty and delightfully subversive - not least for reportedly entrusting all its cinematography to a computer." -- BBC Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Boss of it All (2007)	73%
4/5	"For all the sleights of hand its director conjures up, this is an undeniably slight affair. But it�s still a sublimely entertaining one from a maverick confident enough in his abilities to make fun of his previous work and his agent provocateur persona." -- Total Film Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Boss of it All (2007)	73%
3/5	"�It�s a jungle in there!� sighs Hanks as he counts the millions visiting the movie�s kill-view website. But for all its scaremongering, Untraceable is best viewed as an above-average thriller with a tech-savvy hook." -- Total Film Posted Feb 28, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
4/5	"It makes you want to climb on screen and give the big, eco-friendly lug a hug." -- Total Film Posted Feb 22, 2008	U2 3D (2008)	92%
3/5	"It takes a special talent to wring so much warm, humane comedy out of such a screwy premise. But the real triumph is how Gondry uses it to champion no-budget indie filmmaking, salute cinema�s unifying properties and thumb his nose at the Hollywood system." -- Total Film Posted Feb 22, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
3/5	"Packs enough shocks to keep you gripped, not to mention a conclusion that refreshingly refutes the genre rulebook." -- Total Film Posted Feb 22, 2008	Black Water (2007)	79%
	"The story rattles along at such a lick there's little time to ponder the plot holes -- no mean feat in a film of this length and with so many fine actors competing for our attention." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Feb 20, 2008	The Departed (2006)	92%
3/5	"For all its delicious moments, though, you can't help feeling there are a couple of ingredients missing from this frustratingly insubstantial confection." -- BBC Posted Feb 19, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
2/5	"A thoroughly derivative, boringly ordinary affair in desperate need of a hockey-masked psycho or razor-gloved ghoul to liven things up." -- BBC Posted Feb 12, 2008	All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2008)	59%
2/5	"A desperately unfunny farce that doesn't need an audience so much as an exorcist." -- BBC Posted Feb 5, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	14%
4/5	"Two fine performances, a subject close to all our hearts and a screenplay that manages to be both brilliantly witty and almost unbearably poignant add up to the best family comedy-drama since Little Miss Sunshine." -- Total Film Posted Jan 24, 2008	The Savages (2007)	91%
4/5	"Where Lions For Lambs stumbled, Haggis� latest succeeds in putting dramatic form to the disquiet over US policy. Tommy Lee Jones� performance, meanwhile, is impressive enough to make him a decent bet in this year�s Oscar race." -- Total Film Posted Jan 24, 2008	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
4/5	"Powerful, downbeat drama with an anti-war message." -- BBC Posted Jan 24, 2008	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
2/5	"An all-star cast and Pegg's larger-than-life turn can't stop this offbeat yarn being a bit of a snooze." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Good Night (2007)	26%
3/5	"Saucy sex scenes apart, however, it�s hard to get drawn into a slow-moving, drawn-out story that takes two-and-a-half po-faced hours to reach its jarringly abrupt and confusing conclusion." -- thelondonpaper Posted Jan 4, 2008	Lust, Caution (2007)	70%
3/5	"Isolated moments of high drama and some startlingly intimate sex scenes sadly fail to galvanise a turgid and overlong whole." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jan 4, 2008	Lust, Caution (2007)	70%
4/5	"A compelling documentary that leaves you wondering if there is nothing sacred in this stinking world." -- BBC Posted Dec 18, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
2.5/5	"All those years making wine have clearly impacted on Coppola's storytelling abilities. Let's hope he recovers them before his next directorial outing." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Dec 14, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
2/5	"Given the implausible contrivances that link these disparate protagonists, though, it�s hard to care much about any of them in a chilly drama whose sleek aesthetic masks a hollow soul." -- Total Film Posted Dec 13, 2007	Chromophobia (2005)	31%
3/5	"The kind of movie you feel you�ve seen before when you�re watching it for the first time, Gray�s latest never once surprises. But it�s intelligent and well-crafted enough to make you prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt." -- Total Film Posted Dec 13, 2007	We Own The Night (2007)	54%
3/5	"For the most part this is a perky delight that takes a cheeky glee in biting the gloved hand that feeds." -- BBC Posted Dec 11, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%
	"You leave the cinema not just saddened anew that such an iconic artist was so pointlessly killed, but amazed that it doesn�t happen more often." -- Total Film Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
3/5	"With McCarthy and Davis also playing two further roles with suspiciously identical initials, The Nines toys with issues of identity, duality and alternate reality certain to appeal to anyone who's experimented with the virtual avatars of Second Life." -- BBC Posted Nov 29, 2007	The Nines (2007)	68%
5/5	"For old-school Hollywood movie-making at its most polished, literate and sophisticated there is really nothing to match it." -- BBC Posted Nov 29, 2007	All About Eve (1950)	100%
5/5	"Impeccable." -- Total Film Posted Nov 29, 2007	All About Eve (1950)	100%
3/5	"A little self-consciously kooky but with an ace soundtrack that combines gypsy punksters Gogol Bordello with real-life plug-pullers this sure beats putting your head in the oven." -- Total Film Posted Nov 23, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	65%
3/5	"If the picture doesn�t ultimately live up to the raw vitality of Cheadle�s performance, it remains an uplifting snapshot that broadcasts its message with zero distortion. Tune in and you won�t be turned off." -- Total Film Posted Nov 23, 2007	Talk to Me (2007)	81%
3/5	"Too often the film crosses the line between recording his subjects' illegal activities and aggrandising them." -- BBC Posted Nov 23, 2007	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	69%
2/5	"No amount of visual flourish, sadly, can compensate for the woeful lack of chemistry between the leads or arch dialogue that sounds more like a Pinter parody than the man himself." -- BBC Posted Nov 23, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	35%
3/5	"Don't expect too many surprises from this low-key story of a Bangladeshi woman who learns to stand on her own two feet after years of stultifying arranged marriage." -- BBC Posted Nov 15, 2007	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
3/5	"Monica Ali�s best-selling debut novel about life in London�s Bangladeshi quarter gets a sensitive treatment from director Sarah Gavron, deftly condensing its sprawling narrative without sacrificing colour or texture." -- Total Film Posted Nov 14, 2007	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
2/5	"A drippy chick-flick about six Sacramentans who find their lives mirroring the English novelist�s fictions." -- Total Film Posted Nov 14, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
4/5	"Scott�s best film since Gladiator is a classy cops �n robbers thriller where the latter outclasses the former. Crowe tries to redress the imbalance with a committed performance, but you can tell he knows it�s Washington�s movie." -- Total Film Posted Nov 14, 2007	American Gangster (2007)	79%
2/5	"Francois Girard's film proves a cross-cultural yawn, as if taking its cue from Pitt's blank-faced blandness and Keira Knightley's anaemic support." -- BBC Posted Nov 9, 2007	Silk (2007)	8%
1/5	"An unpleasant sex romp of the kind Robin Askwith made in the 1970s." -- BBC Posted Nov 9, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
