"This deliciously wicked slice of demonic horror from Italian master Dario Argento serves as a devilish antidote to bleak shockers like Saw." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 2, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)51%
/
 
"A tough, engaging, extremely touching work of cinema." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
XXY (2008)72%

"Although a little too open-ended to be wholly satisfying, Water Lilies is still an excellent directorial debut." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 24, 2008
 
Water Lilies (2007)79%
/
 
"Infectiously enjoyable." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 17, 2008
 
Roman de Gare (2008)88%

"Clips from old television broadcasts make this space documentary entertaining." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Sputnik Mania (2008)90%
/
 
"The direction is uninspired, acting is lifeless, and the script borders on the inept. A PG-13 rating means that it's short on shocks, too." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 8, 2008
 
One Missed Call (2008)0%
/
 
"[Director Nic] Balthazar's determination to draw a positive message from a negative situation doesn't quite fit." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Dec 5, 2007
 
Ben X (2007)86%
/
 
"This slice of Nordic doom and gloom envelops the gruesome behavior of its subjects in a jaunty charm." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 28, 2007
 
The Art of Crying (2006)50%
/
 
"It's a typically poetic film, rich in powerful imagery, which sees a bitter personal tragedy unfold against the major events of 20th century Greece." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
The Weeping Meadow (2004)65%
/
 
"Its tough but moving neo-realist approach make it one of the better British films of recent times." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
This Is England (2007)93%
/
 
"Those expecting a reflective Buddhist piece will be surprised. First-time director Neten Chokling's film actually is a powerful revenge drama. Despite the film's low budget, there's also spectacle, courtesy of the Himalayan locations." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Milarepa (2007)36%
/
 
"...a well-observed slice of social realist cinema." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 10, 2007
 
Love for Sale: Suely in the Sky (2007)80%
/
 
"It's short on both coherence and shocks, and features a quick, deus ex machina ending which will have viewers leaving the theatre feeling let down." -- Film Journal International
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
The Invasion (2007)19%
/
 
"A cut above the usual dramas aimed at teen female audiences, not least because it's about more than shopping and romance." -- Film Journal International
Posted Aug 6, 2007
 
Bratz: The Movie (2007)7%
/
 
"A clever structure by director Seth Gordon means that The King of Kong ends up more engrossing than its bunch of geeky characters initially suggest." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 11, 2007
 
The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)97%
/
 
"A well-judged performance by Kevin Costner brings drama to this actioner." -- Film Journal International
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
The Guardian (2006)37%
/
 
"Director Damien O'Donnell has achieved a warm and uplifting movie which is marred only by a brief drift into melodrama in the middle." -- Film Journal International
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Rory O'Shea Was Here (2005)49%
/
 
"A moderately enjoyable affair which only drags in the middle." -- Film Journal International
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)33%
/
 
"A committed piece of agit-prop, which benefits from the passion of its protagonists." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Dec 28, 2006
 
Screamers (2006)66%
/
 
"The good scenes hit home, but the bad ones tilt towards melodrama and sentimentality." -- Film Journal International
Posted Dec 14, 2006
 
Home of the Brave (2006)23%
/
 
"Although Flushed Away is on a much bigger scale than its homely predecessors, it's still comfortably offbeat and funny." -- Film Journal International
Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
Flushed Away (2006)73%
/
 
"The result is passable, though it’s clear that his forte lies elsewhere." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 25, 2006
 
Unknown (2006)36%
/
 
"A deeply thoughtful biopic of a legendary gaming master." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 18, 2006
 
The Go Master (2006)69%
/
 
"An intelligently written piece that only falters during the finale, where Kon sacrifices the film's logic for an explosive ending." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 18, 2006
 
Paprika (2007)82%
/
 
"Jaunty, likable and surprisingly relevant tale of one of the better scandals of the '70s." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 17, 2006
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
 
"This film lacks Hong Sang-soo's usual insight and narrative innovation." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Woman on the Beach (2008)88%
/
 
"While it attempts to be apolitical, the filmmakers short shrift of what happened during and after Hurricane Katrina weakens an otherwise worthy film." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 2, 2006
 
Hurricane on the Bayou (2006)85%
/
 
"It works as a funny and slicker-than-expected parody of the genre." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 2, 2006
 
Feast (2006)55%
/
 
"Social commentary elevates this light coming-of-age drama about a young British boy's university days." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 15, 2006
 
Starter For 10 (2007)89%
/
 
"The ambitious staging of Jaa's lean and long-limbed Muay Thai fight scenes makes them look impressive. There is just too little happening in between to engage a wider audience." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 7, 2006
 
The Protector (2006)55%
/
 
"Succeeds mainly because of its hell-for-leather exuberance." -- Hollywood Reporter

"This second film by Chinese director Lu Chuan is a solid and atmospheric drama." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 2, 2006
 
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006)98%
/
 
"This quirky documentary about a group of American hairdressers who establish exactly that shows that the power of hair salons should never be underestimated." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 25, 2006
 
The Beauty Academy of Kabul (2006)87%
/
 
"This debut feature by Filipino director Auraeus Solito is a neatly observed take on Manila street life." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 19, 2006
 
The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (2006)88%
/
 
"A powerful political allegory." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 19, 2006

"Tremendously enjoyable." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Dec 13, 2005
 
Taj Mahal: An Eternal Love Story (2005)60%

"This well-made World War II film from Germany is both a coming-of-age story and a critique of National Socialist ideology." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 21, 2005
 
Before the Fall (2004)65%
/
 
"There's so little to go wrong that those who like their entertainment mindless and violent will find little fault." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 20, 2005
 
Doom (2005)20%

Three Times (2006)86%
