	" Gibson has created an exploitation movie par excellence." -- Observer [UK] Posted Mar 5, 2008	The Passion of the Christ (2004)	50%
	" [A] classic female gothic romance, beautifully adapted from Daphne du Maurier's novel, and hauntingly accompanied by Franz Waxman's score." -- Observer [UK] Posted Feb 19, 2008	Rebecca (1940)	100%
	" As a slice of disposably self-referential entertainment, it more than earns its keep, and also acts as an effective witness-protection programme for two stars who were formerly more in need of a bullet than a kiss." -- Observer [UK] Posted Dec 1, 2007	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	83%
	" The result is a turkey." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Nov 27, 2007	Elf (2003)	83%

	" There's something quaintly charming about the filmmakers' unabashed affection for their inspirational source material, although the sense of over-familiarity means that none of it is in the least bit scary." -- Observer [UK] Posted Jul 14, 2007	Dead Silence (2007)	18%

	" Dumont effectively conjures between the dreary routine of everyday life and the normalised horrors of this nameless conflict." -- Observer [UK] Posted Jul 14, 2007	Flanders (2006)	71%
	" On this evidence, thrice is definitely enough." -- Observer [UK] Posted Jul 7, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
	" Oh, do grow up." -- Observer [UK] Posted Jul 7, 2007	Hostel: Part II (2007)	45%
	" William Malone's fear dot com desperately wants to be a cutting-edge chiller with its 'up-to-the-minute' internet theme, but turns out to be a depressing up-chuck of every great horror movie of the last 20 years." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Mar 7, 2007	Fear Dot Com (2002)	4%
	" It's not funny; there were three laughs I counted over the entire course of the movie." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Feb 23, 2007	School for Scoundrels (2006)	25%
	" It's well built but the Matt Damon character remains blank and too young to be convincing. It's solid, but like Damon himself it's a bit dull." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Feb 23, 2007	The Good Shepherd (2006)	56%
	" A dopey numerical thriller that wants to be Se7en times three." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Feb 23, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%
	" Does have a genuine emotional core and makes Flags of our Fathers look like a better film. But whether or not it's a great film; the jury is still out." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Feb 23, 2007	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	91%
	A perfectly-fine stripped-down little horror movie and if you're not a hardcore horror fan you'll probably find some of it surprising. -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Jan 29, 2007	Them (2007)	63%
	" Roger Michel knows how to do People-in-Rooms better than most directors do, but the joys of it really are the performances and it's worth seeing for O'Toole and Phillips together." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Jan 29, 2007	Venus (2006)	89%
	" Quite apart from the fact that it's spectacularly uninventive and uncontroversial, it's just such a luvvie-fest." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Jan 29, 2007	Bobby (2006)	45%
	" Bonkers, adventurous, silly, ambitious, charming, foolish; it's all those things and it'll be gone in a week. But it's not mainstream Bore-o fare, and for that it should be celebrated." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Jan 29, 2007	The Fountain (2006)	51%
	" Issue-tainment. Puts the issue of conflict diamonds in the public eye. Whether or not that makes it a great drama is a slightly different question." -- BBC Radio Five Live Posted Jan 29, 2007	Blood Diamond (2006)	63%

	" While le Carre's narrative returns an unequivocal guilty verdict on the drug companies, the jury on Meirelles's storytelling abilities remains hung." -- Observer [UK] Posted Jan 20, 2007	The Constant Gardener (2005)	84%
	" A cookie-cutter money-spinner, finely tooled for maximum profit, but utterly lacking timeless charm." -- Observer [UK] Posted Jan 20, 2007	Over the Hedge (2006)	73%

	" *Lumpen direction, lousy writing and pouting performances aside, the worst thing about Dead Man's Chest* is its interminable length.*" -- Guardian [UK]* Posted Jul 15, 2006	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	54%
	" The film is rich, cultured and slightly tiresome." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Jul 8, 2006	Heading South (2006)	68%

	" *The last time Bullock and Reeves were together on screen the result was Speed. This should have been entitled Stop." -- Guardian [UK]* Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Lake House (2006)	36%
	" It's smart, funny, and surprisingly visually discreet. Some scenes may leave you doubled-up, but the overall effect is, as the saying goes, better than a kick in the balls." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Jun 24, 2006	Hard Candy (2005)	68%

	" There's enough bite in the dialogue and performances to provoke a hacking cough of approval, and the laugh-out-loud moments are many, not least in scenes featuring Rob Lowe's unctuous Hollywood agent." -- Guardian [UK] Posted Jun 24, 2006	Thank You For Smoking (2006)	86%
	" Harlin's hamfisted horror-show offers an hour and a half of tooth-grinding boredom followed by 20 minutes of all-singing, all-dancing, knees-up stupidity." -- Sight and Sound Posted Dec 7, 2004	Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)	11%
	" Aja's rip-roaring romp certainly gives horror fans more than their money's worth." -- Sight and Sound Posted Oct 6, 2004	High Tension (2005)	41%
	" It's a head-bashing experience, by turns exhausting, exhilarating, and infuriating." -- Sight and Sound Posted Apr 6, 2004	The Passion of the Christ (2004)	50%

	" Idiotic beyond the point of redemption, this sinfully stupid farrago manages to insult audiences and critics, Christians and Satanists alike, reducing 2000 years of fertile mythology to the level of an incoherent pop video." -- Sight and Sound Posted Dec 2, 2002	End of Days (1999)	11%

	" Ends up straddling an uneasy divide between genuinely edgy artistry and bluntly indulgent bluster, leaving us uncertain whether it's the television show portrayed or the film itself that's the real turn-off." -- Sight and Sound Posted Jun 7, 2001	Series 7: The Contenders (2001)	70%
	" Any Given Sunday may fall on its face a few times during the game, but wouldn't you rather watch a team going recklessly for the touchdown than playing safely for time?" -- Sight and Sound Posted Apr 17, 2001	Any Given Sunday (1999)	49%
	" *If Brother* does indeed succeed in shaking hands across the ocean, it will have been a compromise worth making.*" -- Sight and Sound* Posted Apr 13, 2001	Brother (2001)	46%
	" A masterpiece, a brilliant dissection of recent US politics and the media by a scalpel-sharp screen sensibility." -- Sight and Sound Posted Apr 13, 2001	The Insider (1999)	96%
