1/5
 
" This crass, inauthentic mock-doc exposing the evils of reality shows and the venality of TV honchos manages both to bore and insult simultaneously." -- Total Film
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Live! (2007)43%

2/5
 
" The main event here is frock porn." -- Total Film

The Duchess (2008)60%

3/5
 
" Something old, something borrowed... but still an assured, perfectly decent popcorn pleaser that sees the limber, likeable Heigl consolidate her Knocked Up lustre. Add sparky his/her chemistry and you’ve got a well-turned-out chick flick. " -- Total Film

27 Dresses (2008)40%

" Limp, transparently plotted flight fodder." -- Total Film

2/5
 
" Despite boasting cinematic pedigree on-screen and off, Closing The Ring is amateur and predictable – from Peter ‘son of Edward’ Woodward’s clunky soap opera screenplay to unimaginative lensing and ropey SFX." -- Total Film

Closing the Ring (2007)29%
/
3/5
 
" A patchy but silly caper that will be dead funny (sorry) for anyone who’s recently wrestled with family hysteria. Perfect pre-Christmas fare then." -- Total Film

Death at a Funeral (2007)63%
/
2/5
 
" With Shine’s Scott Hicks at the helm, this is a well-presented dish, but too cloying for discerning palates." -- Total Film

No Reservations (2007)39%
/
3/5
 
" Vacancy’s an audience divider – a predictable yet occasionally classy film. Depending on your mood it’s an efficient exercise in popcorn frights, or a cynical B-movie..." -- Total Film

Vacancy (2007)55%

3/5
 
" This cautionary tale of making the most of life during our winter months successfully lodges itself into the memory." -- Total Film
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Away From Her (2007)95%
/
3/5
 
" A bestiality rom-com with unexpected charm. Not quite the dog’s bollocks, but certainly no dog’s dinner either." -- Total Film
Posted Mar 16, 2007
 
Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)63%
/
4/5
 
" A deserved hit at Sundance, Guide plays like Stand By Me crossed with Kids. It’s as promising, beautiful and gritty as its onscreen ‘saints’." -- Total Film

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)75%
/
4/5
 
" Enchanting, if disconcerting, feel-good fare loaded with predictable, wholesome messages but crammed with enough Christmas wonderment to off-set the saccharine." -- ViewLondon

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)76%

" A film lacking the wit, enchantment, and spark of the original -- despite being a shameless copy of it." -- BBC

/
3/5
 
" Opening with some contrived banter, cliches and some loose ends, the screenplay only comes into its own in the second half." -- BBC

3/5
 
" Goldbacher effectively explores the love-hate and competitive nature of close female relationships with wit, evocative staging, and a whimsical soundtrack." -- BBC

" A genuinely hilarious belly-acher." -- BBC

" Wittily scripted, beautifully played by an excellent cast, and just so darned... nice, this is must-see viewing for the romantics." -- BBC

" Utilises the same sharp - sometimes sick - observational humour and ear for dialogue that made Clerks such an indie gem." -- BBC

" A smart script and great casting elevate a pedestrian premise to the status of satisfying thriller." -- BBC

" [Dunst's] intelligent, complex performance makes Nicole a charming, frustrating, pathetic, and ballsy protagonist worthy of screen time." -- BBC

Crazy/Beautiful (2001)63%

" Its off-kilter originality makes a welcome change from the summer's CGI dinosaur or tomb raiding behemoths." -- BBC
