5/5
 
"This reviewer for one, hasn't been able to face a pork chop in the months since, and is still laughing at the vibrant joyousness of this delicious comic fable." -- Empire Magazine

Babe (1995)98%

3/5
 
"A surprisingly sweet romantic comedy debut from Ben Stiller." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Reality Bites (1993)66%

5/5
 
"Still compelling and inspiring after all these years." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Thelma & Louise (1991)90%
/
2/5
 
"To be really powerful or tragic they need to be a lot less hack­neyed and directed with more inspira­tion than this merely adequate effort." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Rush (1991)68%
/
2/5
 
"What should have been a tense political thrilling blockbuster, ends up a wasted effort with a limp storyline that once again fails to give the book justice." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Rising Sun (1993)39%
/
4/5
 
"A lurid, lightweight throw-together of cheap psycho-thrills which tries to dress itself up as something more substantial." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Internal Affairs (1990)88%
/
3/5
 
"Cute, cute, cute. No bouquets for originality, but it pushes all the buttons of this mini-genre, and Heigl and Marsden ring dem bells." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 27, 2008
 
27 Dresses (2008)39%
/
4/5
 
"An enjoyable romantic comedy, one that won't have the dragged along boyfriend running for the hills. It doesn't loose itself in fantasy land, remaining grounded and realistic." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 18, 2008
 
Mr. Wonderful (1993)59%
/
4/5
 
"[The film] leaves one with an overwhelming sense of the miraculousness of life and of this man's spirit." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 10, 2008
 
My Left Foot (1989)100%

4/5
 
"Cool, clever and complex, Altman succeeds in bringing out the best from a highly talented cast." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 27, 2008
 
Short Cuts (1993)94%

3/5
 
"For all the movie's undisputed competence, grand and inspired moments are thin on the ground." -- Empire Magazine

Chaplin (1992)61%

5/5
 
"Despite its flaws, this is simply unmissable." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Forrest Gump (1994)72%
/
5/5
 
"Ironically, the ultimate Western of all was made decades after its hayday. This is captivating for all, not just fans of the genre." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 19, 2008
 
Unforgiven (1992)96%
/
3/5
 
"Unapologetically preposterous, but it is a (very sweet) fairy tale and Highmore is captivating." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 21, 2007
 
August Rush (2007)37%
/
4/5
 
"Funny peculiar and funny ha ha, with a spontaneity and energy that gather up a powerful emotional head of steam as it chugs along." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 21, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%
/
3/5
 
"Quite a nice little relationship comedy-drama, but essentially for an audience of what the French charmingly call ‘women of a certain age’. Totally not the Superbad set, then." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 14, 2007
 
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)64%
/
3/5
 
"Disappointingly dull given the explosive subject matter, this at least attempts to get a message into the mainstream. An extra star for effort rather than execution." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)47%
/
2/5
 
"In nearly two and a half hours you expect more." -- Empire Magazine

"This multi-generational chick flick may be blessed with a stellar cast but unfortunately errs on the pretentious side." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Evening (2007)27%
/
2/5
 
"It’s sufficiently well done to qualify as cute, quite the thing for a girlie outing with grub after, but it’s utterly phoney baloney." -- Empire Magazine

No Reservations (2007)39%

3/5
 
"Yippee-ki-yay! Willis still has the goods. Credit to Wiseman, who keeps the thrills coming, and pass the popcorn." -- Empire Magazine

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)80%
/
3/5
 
"Bigger, better and more polished than the first, with a quite satisfactory ratio of action set-pieces and a lot of juvenile japery squarely aimed at its PG and fanboy audience." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 13, 2007
 
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)35%
/
3/5
 
"Cute and sweet, and if it lacks great wit or magic, at least it has the courage to remain faithful to the gentle sadness and ‘realism’ of the original material." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 30, 2007
 
Charlotte's Web (2006)78%
/
4/5
 
"A thoroughly pleasing family film with fine performances and honest, affecting real situations mixed with joyful adventure." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 4, 2007
 
Bridge to Terabithia (2007)84%
/
3/5
 
"Handsomely crafted, with meticulous performances, yet it plays out drily and in monotone." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
The Painted Veil (2006)75%
/
4/5
 
"An original work that is moving, not without humour, fly-on-the-wall realistic and uplifting." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
Half Nelson (2006)91%
/
3/5
 
"Far-out touches and liberal application of metaphor are compensated for by intensity and two mesmerising performances." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 13, 2007
 
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)30%
/
3/5
 
"We expect oddball wit of a higher calibre from Guest and co., although their inherent, zany likeability means plenty of laughs." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 7, 2007
 
For Your Consideration (2006)51%

3/5
 
"Cute and sweet, and if it lacks great wit or magic, at least it has the courage to remain faithful to the gentle sadness and ‘realism’ of the original material." -- Empire Magazine

Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005)100%
/
4/5
 
"Ardent, accomplished, overwhelmingly emotional, with something to say and a dream cast saying it in song. Bravo." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 29, 2007
 
Dreamgirls (2006)78%
/
3/5
 
"A remarkable ensemble in an uneven patchwork of loss, longing and the urgent necessity of a societal rethink." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 25, 2007
 
Bobby (2006)45%
/
3/5
 
"Pitched awkwardly -- neither for children nor cool young adults -- it’s very sweet, very nice and just the thing for a girlie matinée with mum and nan." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 2, 2007
 
Miss Potter (2006)65%
/
4/5
 
"Those with the stomach for searing drama will recognise superior writing, direction and acting in one of the most heartbreaking films of the year." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Candy (2006)50%
/
3/5
 
"A fine example of heartwarming real-life drama, with performances that ring true and some terrific moments that befit a classic American Dream story." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The Rookie (2002)82%

1/5
 
"Only the scenes of Dylan on stage really hold the attention." -- Empire Magazine

Masked and Anonymous (2003)25%

Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Finding Nemo (2003)98%
/
4/5
 
"his is 'teen comedy' of startling sophistication -- with horribly funny bits as well. A true original, with sharp humour, subtle detail and painfully realistic characters." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Ghost World (2001)92%
/
2/5
 
"A little muddled and derivative but what do we expect, really?" -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 30, 2006
 
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)13%
/
2/5
 
"Despite some nifty Japanese style tricks and ghostly illusions this isn’t scary. It’s muddled, same-old mayhem, just with a more international cast going crazy." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 21, 2006
 
The Grudge 2 (2006)12%
/
4/5
 
"... this sparkling little gem takes the family road movie to unhoped-for heights of hilarity and humanity." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)91%
/
2/5
 
"Williams’ virtuoso hijinking and Daniels’ Huggy Bearish bonhomie save this from complete ignominy, but we’ve seen it all before." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 1, 2006
 
RV (2006)23%
/
3/5
 
"It's cheerfully daft enough to be good fun, and even if you won't be quoting it the next day, it'll keep you laughing from start to finish." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 27, 2006
 
Confetti (2006)58%
/
3/5
 
"It’s entertaining, with some choice performances and the laugh-out-loud quotient of a good sketch show." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 26, 2006
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
4/5
 
"A character who would be treated as an unlovable or tragic figure almost anywhere else emerges here as a hero of self-expression." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Factotum (2006)75%
/
5/5
 
"A fine script, dynamic direction, doomed romantic idealism and telling performances make this the most timeless of Ray's gripping, socially aware dramas." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)95%
/
3/5
 
"Cute and innocently funny, with engaging turns from a beautifully silly Curtis, and Lindsay Lohan as a 21st century high school heroine." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Freaky Friday (2003)88%
/
3/5
 
"Stylish, rollicking post-Tarantino trash which does the business at such a pace you barely notice its preposterousness." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Running Scared (2006)40%
/
3/5
 
"It’s refreshing that Potter 4 aspires to be a paranoid thriller rather than yet another detective mystery. House points, too, for the movie's terrific effects and considerable charm." -- Empire Magazine
