	"Mr Woodcock is ok as far as predictable, low-brow Hollywood comedies are concerned, and it's considerably elevated by its above average cast." Posted Jul 12, 2008	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	13%
	"The eternal question of why Chapman shot Lennon is not answered. And that's probably because there IS no real reason." Posted Jul 12, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%
	"Puerile and disappointing, what might have been a comical, irreverent look at Eastern guru wisdom a la Mike Myers is a load of balderdash, anchored by an elephantine bag of toilet humour, oversized penises and midget jokes" Posted Jul 7, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	15%
	"I love surprises and would happily be led up the garden path with Will Smith, but there's a fatal flaw to Hancock, with alien-sized plot holes and worse still, characters behaving out of context." Posted Jun 28, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
	"There's nothing redeeming about this badly written, badly directed and (in the case of Jessica Simpson), badly acted low-brow comedy." Posted Jun 18, 2008	Blonde Ambition (2007)	14%
	"A mish-mash of comic-book drama coupled with video-game graphics." Posted Jun 10, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
	"*Sadly for Mr. Shyamalan, the ideas that have been coming to him since his brilliant first hit The Sixth Sense* are progressively worthy of less merit and more deserving of ridicule.*" Posted Jun 10, 2008*	The Happening (2008)	19%
	"This saga about two friends falls short of heartfelt and never satisfies" Posted Jun 5, 2008	Rich and Famous (1981)	60%
	"With its lavish production design, extravagant sets, poetic musical numbers and photogenic stars, Saawariya is ravishing to look at, but disappointing overall" Posted May 23, 2008	Saawariya (2007)	41%
	"Many will become irritated and bored; watching eggs being cracked for pancakes could be riveting to watch, but not here." Posted May 22, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
	"Words get in the way of true emotions in this comedy drama that marks Helen Hunt's directing debut." Posted May 12, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
	"It's all rather predictable, and often irritatingly derivative" Posted May 12, 2008	Shutter (2008)	7%
	"Broken Sun intends to be absorbed rather like a poem, with spiritual and peaceful ambitions. The deliberate pace, the sometimes filtered cinematography, and the sparse dialogue, combine to create the film's mood of regret." Posted May 5, 2008	Broken Sun (2008)	n/a
	"Without even calling into question the morals of a film which seems to exist only to depict the suffering of multiple women through hideous tortures, the film is still an empty mess, offering only a minor afterthought of an explanation to who is doing the" Posted May 1, 2008	Captivity (2007)	7%
	"This frothy rom-com that acts as a vehicle for tv sex symbol Patrick Dempsey is at its best in the wilds of remote Scotland, when his serial womaniser is out of his element. I laughed a few times, but overall was disappointed because nothing felt real." Posted Apr 26, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"What is ultimately more disturbing than the premise itself is the way director Gregory Hoblit injects a sensational voyeuristic element to the proceedings. I felt as though I needed a good wash after watching." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
	"Adults will squirm at the dialogue and wonder how actors of such fine calibre manage to squander some of their star credentials" Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Ten Commandments (2007)	15%
	"....plays like a MAD Magazine spoof that was written on the toilet" Posted Apr 8, 2008	Superhero Movie! (2008)	13%
	"Will Ferrell can be very funny. This is not one of those times. Tired and tawdry, this tedious misfire is a misjudgement on Ferrell's part, namely in terms of material." Posted Mar 31, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
	"It's inevitable with such fantasies, the storylines begin to have a familiar ring. Rry as they might, the filmmakers here are never totally successful in narrowing the gap between reality and fantasy as live action and fantastical special effects converge" Posted Mar 23, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
	"Everett's Camilla Fritton, sporting a blonde wig reminiscent of another Camilla, spits out lines through prominent teeth and indulges in 'me time' at the easel, brush in hand %u2026 There are some good ideas and a few laughs, but it's all a bit Camilla-on" Posted Mar 23, 2008	St. Trinian's (2007)	41%
	"Brilliant ideas dance on the high side of Creative Street, but Michel Gondry's outlandish premise doesn't stretch far enough to go the distance." Posted Mar 16, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	68%
	"Fans of the genre may still find the film as creepy and scary as it is intended to be, although it relies for so much of its scare-power on sudden bursts of flame accompanied by fearsome noise, or the appearance of ghostly death figures" Posted Mar 6, 2008	The Eye (2003)	67%
	"Although I did enjoy the incongruity of the characters, this well-intentioned low brow co-production does not quite make it to the finish line." Posted Mar 1, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
	"Gus Van Sant's interest in teenage angst continues here (for more, see Last Days and Elephant), but with an even greater sense of artistic abandon. He's no David Lynch, though, and the result of the abandon just seems silly" Posted Mar 1, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
	"Despite Branagh's every attempt to capitalise on the intimacy of the cinematic medium with (intrusive) close-ups, the direction is heavy handed; the result being a dramatic, but emotionally cold experience" Posted Mar 1, 2008	Sleuth (2007)	35%
	"The mammoths, the savage, beaked jungle beasts and the giant sabre tooth tiger all make splendid appearances. The spectacular landscapes of desert, mountain, river and jungle also deliver the images we are expecting. It's the humans who let us down." Posted Mar 1, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	"There are emotional high points in this film about one woman and the three men who love her, but the storytelling is cluttered and the constant to-ing and fro-ing from past to present detracts from the overall" Posted Mar 1, 2008	Closing the Ring (2007)	27%
	"Strangely enough, it isn't the lack of originality in this body switch comedy that irritated me most, it is that I didn't believe any of it." Posted Feb 21, 2008	It's A Boy Girl Thing (2006)	57%
	"There is next to no dialogue in the film's final 30 minutes %u2013 just a torrent of killing, blood and violence. The film's target market of young testosterone-charged males will no doubt be eager to immerse themselves in this blood-fest of stunts and sp" Posted Feb 14, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
	"The result is a blurry patchwork of images that suggests that Something Bad is Happening. Excuse my sarcasm, but the effect is so un-cinematic as to invite ridicule" Posted Feb 12, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
	"*If you're expecting another Notting Hill* or Love Actually, you'll be disappointed.*" Posted Feb 8, 2008*	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
	"I can't think of anything positive to say about this badly written, over directed adventure in which unbelievable characters move heaven and earth to find long lost treasure." Posted Feb 4, 2008	Fool's Gold (2008)	10%
	"With all due respect to Stephen King and Frank Darabond, military experiments as a cause for science fictioned creatures is yawningly unoriginal. But go see The Mist, just for Marcia Gay Harden's amazing, chillingly accurate portrayal" Posted Feb 2, 2008	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	71%
	"Perhaps Tony Gatlif's oddest film to date, it's a kind of road trip with so few borders that it's easy to get lost along the way. The plot is as obtuse as its mix of languages" Posted Jan 28, 2008	Transylvania (2006)	69%
	"Strictly for teenage girls, Sydney White is not totally without charms, but is too breathless, too cheesy and far too dorky to leave a favourable impact." Posted Jan 24, 2008	Sydney White (2007)	37%
	"Cloverfield has most things I deplore about movies and a couple of things I admire." Posted Jan 16, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
	"Thanks to Katherine Heigl, this formulaic and saccharine sweet romantic comedy is more palatable than its predictable script and cardboard characters suggest. But I am disappointed in the film, which starts with a flourish, but fizzles into mediocrity." Posted Jan 12, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
	"Beast vs. beast, and it's not compelling in the least. Studio Fox rolls its two rampaging monster franchises out of cryo-stasis in this clunky and dumb sequel to the clunky and dumb 2004 eyesore, Alien vs. Predator" Posted Jan 8, 2008	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	14%
	"Patchy and strangely unengaging, The Golden Compass is impressive in scale but disappoints by its cluttered storytelling and lack of heart." Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
	"The magic only comes in occasional flashes, with the rest of the time filled by forced silliness that is not united by anything more than talk of smiles and puppies and rainbows" Posted Dec 7, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	"Alex Frayne's creatively ambitious work deserves encouragement, even though it isn't entirely successful." Posted Dec 5, 2007	Modern Love (2006)	n/a
	"For all its visual splendour, The Banquet has none of the pathos or originality of Crouching Tiger, nor does it endear us to its characters through its 140 minute running time" Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Banquet (2006)	40%
	"There's little merit in this crass, low-brow comedy except for some Paris Hilton curiosity value." Posted Nov 24, 2007	Bottoms Up (2006)	n/a
	"I can't think of a single kind word to say about this unfortunate family comedy which is unoriginal, predictable, schmaltzy and bland." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	1%
	"Angel seems like a collection of misjudgements that required much effort, but with little satisfaction for that effort" Posted Nov 17, 2007	Angel (2007)	57%
	"With not even its excellent cast to recommend it, Fred Claus is an ill-conceived, charm-less film that will delight neither youngsters nor their parents. From tedium to schmalz, the film tries to be all things to everyone, and succeeds in none" Posted Nov 10, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
	"The problem for Tarantino in Death Proof is that the girl talk that occupies so much of the running time is anything but true to the culture 50 years ago. The setting is contempo, but the movie style is period" Posted Oct 27, 2007	Death Proof (2007)	61%
	"The film improves, but the heavy handed first half drags its mood to the end, where predictability and corn mix into a concoction as unappetising as the health smoothie Joe Kingman creates for breakfast with his disgusted little daughter" Posted Oct 27, 2007	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
