2/5	"Not a great deal happens and there is a lot of talk." -- This is London Posted Jul 25, 2008	Paris (2008)	62%
3/5	"Those who admire Reed will find that Schnabel's film allows the music to speak for itself against its rather messy background." -- This is London Posted Jul 25, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	76%
3/5	"It may be naively done, but it still packs a punch." -- This is London Posted Jul 25, 2008	Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame (2007)	89%
1/5	"With this story, and this cast, the movie ought to have been fun." -- This is London Posted Jul 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	61%
3/5	"This is all pleasant enough, but I can't quite believe it." -- This is London Posted Jul 25, 2008	Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)	54%
4/5	"One of the most imaginatively made and individual pieces of work that the audacious Pixar has developed." -- This is London Posted Jul 18, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
4/5	"All hail the revival of one of Bernardo Bertolucci's best films." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Conformist (1970)	100%
2/5	"A bit of a shambles, but perhaps in its lack of von Trier's usual pretensions will lie the charm of this film for some." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Boss of it All (2007)	73%
3/5	"Lane is an imaginative actress, every bit as good as Jodie Foster, and the film is clothed in a dark and chilly atmosphere that Hoblit constructs with some skill." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
2/5	"Ferrell mugs his way through with enthusiasm, but Harrelson looks a bit dumbstruck by it all." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
1/5	"Words almost fail me after watching this terrible romantic comedy from Griffin Dunne which is perilously described as a "sort of Carole Lombard screwball comedy". Would that it were." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Accidental Husband (2008)	0%
3/5	"Doesn't quite measure up to its predecessor but it is still an often painfully accurate study of fractured family relationships." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
3/5	"In short, this is not a very distinguished film, but it does have a good enough plot to keep you watching and wondering what is the result of good research and what has been constructed by intelligent guesswork." -- This is London Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Bank Job (2008)	78%
4/5	"Touching but never sentimental." -- This is London Posted Jan 4, 2008	Alice in the Cities ()	100%
3/6	"The film, equipped with a sense of humour as well as a certain kind of Middle Eastern magic realism, has a central theme that emphasises the fate of a whole people without a country to call their own." -- This is London Posted Jan 4, 2008	Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007)	100%
3/5	"The weathered Tavina, who lost his hand in an accident at the age of 13, makes a fittingly indomitable hero. He's a character you're likely to remember - his face alone is worth a thousand words." -- This is London Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Violin (2007)	94%
3/5	"You leave the theatre a trifle exhausted but rewarded by a resonance few films possess." -- This is London Posted Jan 4, 2008	Lust, Caution (2007)	70%
3/5	"Van Sant manages to make a small elegy about adolescence out of a film which in other hands might have become a slightly grisly thriller." -- This is London Posted Dec 28, 2007	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
1/5	"A horrendously written and acted movie which even Walken can't save." -- This is London Posted Dec 28, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
3/5	"Closing the Ring is well-acted throughout and it has a romantic appeal that is not to be sneered at, even if some may find it bland." -- This is London Posted Dec 28, 2007	Closing the Ring (2007)	27%
4/5	"Perhaps he might have been tougher but that might have rendered the film less digestible." -- This is London Posted Dec 28, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
3/5	"If you appreciate their acting, and enjoy the words of the battle between them - during which the duchess prevaricates until it is too late - it will seem fascinating." -- This is London Posted Dec 28, 2007	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
3/5	"Smith is a good deal better than Arnold might have been, and the dog is wonderful. Watch the first hour and see something a bit special." -- This is London Posted Dec 28, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
4/5	"A crazy film which shouldn't work, but for most of the time does." -- This is London Posted Dec 21, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
2/5	"It's one of those movies where the wretched actors have to pretend to know what's going on as the CG effects take place beside and around them. They do their best. But it's Alvin and co that toddlers will appreciate." -- This is London Posted Dec 21, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
2/5	"When you look at it again, the old film was not only superior but rather more radical. This St Trinian's looks as if it is aiming at the lowest common denominator, and finding it too often." -- This is London Posted Dec 21, 2007	St. Trinian's (2007)	41%
3/5	"For all its intended depth and psychological realism, which at its best carries reminders of the work of Terrence Malick, there's a fake myth-making quality to it that, because of its inordinate length, could be mistaken for grandeur." -- This is London Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
2/5	"Grisly crime scene snaps accompany the story, which makes Miami Vice look like a tea party and Florida like hell on earth." -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	69%
1/5	"It is a staggeringly awful road movie, not much enlivened by the presence of Tom Waits as a wizened participant." -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	65%
3/5	"Why bother with horror films when you can see this?" -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	Jesus Camp (2006)	87%
2/5	"A stronger screenplay and more sensitive direction would have made this movie into something far more genuinely uplifting than it is." -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	Talk to Me (2007)	81%
2/5	"Wes Anderson is an acquired taste. But those who liked The Royal Tenenbaums and even the grossly uneven The Life Aquatic may find this serio-comic tale about three brothers on a train journey through India a satisfactory diversion from everyday reality." -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
3/5	"What we miss is the real Herzogian touch that can translate tales of derringdo into something more than mere adventure and stir the soul as well as the heart and mind." -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	Rescue Dawn (2007)	90%
3/5	"Whether you like the film probably depends on whether you can treat it all as seriously as Pinter and Branagh. If you can't, this short, brackish piece will not work at all, even if you don't regard it as a piece of piss." -- This is London Posted Nov 23, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	35%
4/5	"Spinosa's film is stylish and careful not to over-dramatise." -- This is London Posted Nov 15, 2007	Anna M. (2007)	62%
4/5	"It may be slow as a snail, but it leaves a trail." -- This is London Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Wayward Cloud (2007)	82%
2/5	"This is a rom-com that tries to be sassy and true but ends up ridiculously unlike any kind of reality at all." -- This is London Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
2/5	"The background work is smashing, though nothing like as detailed as Pixar's Ratatouille and, if the screenplay does one thing decently, it is to make some sort of sense of a most confusing story." -- This is London Posted Nov 15, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	69%
4/5	"Quietly effective, acted with resource and directed with the kind of patient skill it needs." -- This is London Posted Nov 15, 2007	Brick Lane (2008)	62%
4/5	"Sharp, observant and true to the period, the film-making is, on the whole, less determined to show its virtuosity than in Scott's other work." -- This is London Posted Nov 15, 2007	American Gangster (2007)	79%
2/5	"All sorts of experts testify with some conviction, but the film's jerky structure and lack of complexity don't help." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)	79%
2/5	"Hard to watch, and even harder to enjoy unless the music and almost pathological eccentricity takes your fancy." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	Ex Drummer (2007)	45%
1/5	"Crude, vulgar and dispiriting to watch." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
2/6	"There must be better, more useful ways of amusing themselves but obviously none which would allow them to strut the stage to the plaudits of a baying crowd like latter-day rock stars." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	Air Guitar Nation (2007)	83%
3/5	"Superbly shot in the white-walled no-man's-land of the monastery." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	In Memory of Me (2007)	78%
4/5	"This may be a small film but it is almost perfectly formed and by no means just a pleasant work in a minor key." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
4/5	"One of the best American films of the year, even if you do feel more impatient with McCandless than Penn seems to." -- This is London Posted Nov 9, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
2/5	"Too compromised to be more than a reasonably pleasurable entertainment, as if it is scared about what it is saying about the American political process." -- This is London Posted Nov 2, 2007	Man of the Year (2006)	20%
2/5	"In the end the knockabout humour totally destroys the glimmers of spiteful sophistication which would have made it much funnier." -- This is London Posted Nov 2, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	62%
