5/5	"*To put it bluntly: if you don't like Back To The Future, it's difficult to believe that you like films at all." -- Empire Magazine* Posted May 5, 2008	Back to the Future (1985)	95%
No Rating	"Sporadically hilarious, with roots that run far deeper than expected." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 5, 2008	Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)	82%
5/5	"Surely as good as modern comedy gets?�and don't call me Shirley." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2008	Airplane! (1980)	100%
3/5	"Neither funny enough to be an effective black comedy nor scary enough to capitalise on its thriller/horror elements." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2008	The King of Comedy (1982)	92%
2/5	"Though the events are gruelingly (and graphically) recreated there's a typical lack of emotional connection which might be forgivable in a thriller but utterly hobbles this supposed cri de coeur. An almost total failure then, but a noble one." -- BBC Posted Mar 14, 2008	Redacted (2007)	43%
No Rating	"This is really Sly's movie as he slugs his way through a heartfelt performance and delivers some cracking punches, both literally and emotionally." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 20, 2008	Rocky (1976)	93%
5/5	"Scott has said, �Why watch a film seven times? Because someone�s done it right and transported you to its world.� This retooling makes the film worth an eighth trip, and more. Not a case of Blade Runner Redux, but Blade Runner Deluxe. " -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 21, 2007	Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982)	97%
5/5	"*As an appetizer to the thoroughly bizarre world of Italian horror, Suspiria* is the perfect antipasto.*" -- Empire Magazine* Posted Sep 26, 2007	Suspiria (1977)	92%
5/5	"Gory thriller that makes fun of the vampire myth before the hammer blow of a truly shocking climax." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 25, 2007	Martin (1978)	95%
2/5	"Bog standard horror offering with a distinct lack of action or plot." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 25, 2007	Ringu (1998)	96%
5/5	"Cronenberg's most triumphant and accessible film to date." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 24, 2007	The Fly (1986)	91%
5/5	"It retains an atmosphere of melancholic, surreal dread." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 21, 2007	Carnival of Souls (1962)	82%
5/5	"The Wicker Man is, more than anything else, a film about what people can do in the name of religion or, more generally, belief. Its power comes not from appeals to the supernatural but from a deep understanding of our own undeniable nature." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 24, 2007	The Wicker Man (1973)	90%
1/5	"For the love of Chucky, avoid this insipid attempt at reviving the killer doll horror." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 27, 2007	Dead Silence (2007)	18%
5/5	"Hats off nonetheless to young whippersnapper John Carpenter, whose studenty tale of space tedium, aliens and molasses-black humour remains approximately a thousand times better than the director's last 15 years." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 6, 2007	Dark Star (1974)	80%
4/5	"The film's amazing strengths easily outweigh the odd outbreak of hammery." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2007	Forbidden Planet (1956)	94%
4/5	"*The film�s vivid, rarely-eroticised depiction of female sexuality and strength should hook fans of films like Morvern Callar, and its subtle suspense will keep audiences of all kinds involved." -- Empire Magazine* Posted Feb 7, 2007	Red Road (2007)	89%
3/5	"Certainly difficult to define, this period piece messes with genres, power relationships and your head." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 30, 2006	The Servant (1963)	71%
4/5	"This is probably the most fun to be had at the multiplex so far this year." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 30, 2006	The Fast and the Furious (2001)	53%
3/5	"Tune out the dreck and there are enough laughs for it to be worthwhile." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 30, 2006	Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)	52%
1/5	"The kind of movie that gets laughs entirely unintentionally." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 30, 2006	Darkness Falls (2003)	8%
3/5	"If this were fiction, it would be an example of superior storytelling, and it's certainly gripping." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 30, 2006	A Beautiful Mind (2001)	78%
3/5	"Nobody does vapid bollocks as enjoyably as Tony Scott, and while this isn�t as inventive as Man On Fire or as compelling as Crimson Tide, it�s still the right side of dumb." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 29, 2006	Deja Vu (2006)	56%
3/5	"Gorgeously realised, gripping and doused in De Palma's familiar technical wizardry." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 23, 2006	The Black Dahlia (2006)	35%
3/5	"The ultimate in pointless exercises, a remake that is neither much better nor much worse that the original." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 6, 2006	The Omen (2006)	26%
4/5	"Brutal, bloody and brilliant, this is superior filmmaking, and more evidence of the renaissance of the Australian film industry." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006	The Proposition (2006)	86%
4/5	"Woody’s best for ages. Even for non-Allen fans this has all the appeal of a good story well told and capped with a deliciously vicious little twist." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006	Match Point (2005)	77%
1/5	"Date Movie still labours under the mistaken impression that exaggerated mimicry alone is enough to entertain." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006	Date Movie (2006)	6%
4/5	"A delightfully obscene alternative to the usual Christmas tosh." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006	Bad Santa (2003)	77%
4/5	"Laughably bad and fantastically good all at once, this is a guilty pleasure that everyone can enjoy." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 3, 2005	Flash Gordon (1980)	83%
4/5	"Cronenberg�s best for a long time, broad and entertaining enough for those unacquainted with the director�s work, but layered with the themes of infection and mutation that have defined his work." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 30, 2005	A History of Violence (2005)	87%
5/5	"You'll be hard pressed to find anything as visually dazzling as this in cinemas ever." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 25, 2004	Hero (2004)	95%
5/5	"Brooks' wholehearted embracing of rank vulgarity, together with his innovative quickfire sketch structure, titillated crowds more used to sophisticated Hollywood humour." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 7, 2004	Blazing Saddles (1974)	89%
3/5	"It doesn�t deliver anything new to the series, and even fans might find parts distinctly slow, but it finally hits most of the right buttons." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 1, 2003	Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)	36%
3/5	"Enjoyable hogwash." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 21, 2003	Equilibrium (2002)	35%
5/5	"*Quite possibly the best documentary about youth and sport since Hoop Dreams." -- Empire Magazine* Posted Dec 23, 2002	Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002)	91%
3/5	"A thoroughly well-built dramatic actioner." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 1, 2001	Pearl Harbor (2001)	24%
3/5	"It's unclear exactly what Minahan�s trying to say. If it�s just 'TV is crap,' then it�s hardly a revelation and this uncertainty, combined with no back-story or framing device, conspires to give the movie a sketchy, ill-conceived feel." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 1, 2001	Series 7: The Contenders (2001)	71%
4/5	"A beautifully crafted, brilliantly acted and gently moving film that only occasionally lapses into sentimentality." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 18, 2001	Tigerland (2000)	76%
5/5	"One of the definitive mystery chillers of all time. Poignant, beautiful and devastating." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 27, 2001	Don't Look Now (1974)	94%
	"A slow-moving, predictable movie." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 5, 2001	Valentine (2001)	9%
	"A plodding, self-indulgent exercise in pomposity over substance." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 1, 2001	The Million Dollar Hotel (2001)	24%
4/5	"An unexpected little gem." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Beyond the Mat (1999)	82%
1/5	"Utter, unforgivable bilge." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Black Sheep (1996)	29%
3/5	"Proyas drenches each shot in a unique feel and delivers a movie with a visual sense with all the inventive, poetic power of Ridley Scott or Terry Gilliam firing on all cylinders." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Dark City (1998)	75%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Feeling Minnesota (1996)	16%
	"In the end, Fincher�s brilliant film is, ironically, short in the cojones department." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Fight Club (1999)	81%
	"Carrey, with another ground-breaking performance, single-handedly elevates it to something much better." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)	53%
4/5	"Tarantino has once again defied the critics and produced a movie that solidly establishes him as still the most important filmmaker of the decade." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Jackie Brown (1997)	85%
	"Director Cameron Crowe has written and directed a deft, funny, shamelessly upbeat romantic comedy and to top it all drawn out the finest performance of Tom Cruise's career." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Jerry Maguire (1996)	83%
