3/5
 
"Klapisch slyly uses vignettes and diversions to hide the fact that he has no perceivable endgame." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Paris (2008)62%
/
2/5
 
"What the film says about contemporary Afghanistan is unclear, other than life is tough -- tougher if you’re a woman, tougher still if you're a girl." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame (2007)89%
/
2/5
 
"Has a craven need to please." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)54%
/
3/5
 
"Sadly, the bar is set too high and the movie implodes under the weight of its own ambitions." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%
/
4/5
 
"It's like prime era Mamet with relentless, unstoppable super-profane dialogue!" -- Little White Lies
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
In Bruges (2008)80%
/
3/5
 
"The movie's absurdist humour and muted ambitions have paved a path for slipshod anarchy, and hinted at greater things to come from future Ferrell movies. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Semi-Pro (2008)21%
/
4/5
 
"Despite roguish interventions from Von Trier himself (in voiceover, and on screen), the movie has more in common with Working Girl and Trading Places than anything from Europe's leading auteur. Which, it seems, is a lucky, liberating thing. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
The Boss of It All (2007)73%
/
2/5
 
"There are some nice creepy chills to be had from the directors David Nerlich and Andrew Traucki's low waterlevel camera work, but ultimately the outlandishness of their real-life adventure deadens the visceral impact. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Black Water (2007)79%
/
3/5
 
"The film has inspirational messages about the rewards of multicultural integration, but its tacit approval of prostitution as a rewarding career choice seems a bit peculiar. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
Princesas (2006)74%
/
4/5
 
"The depiction of the eerily overgrown city is one of the first genuine and unobtrusive testaments to the groundbreaking power of computer-generated effects in years. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
I Am Legend (2007)69%
/
1/5
 
"A show-stopping compendium of clichés, bogus emotions, duff dialogue and cringeworthy performances. Yet it’s so naively idiotic that it’s hard to hate. Better just to ignore it. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
August Rush (2007)38%
/
4/5
 
"It may not have you weeping in the aisles, but it will be with you for days after you see it. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%
/
3/5
 
"Writer-director Michel Spinosa, harnessing a powerhouse central performance from Carré, has managed to hit the ground between giddy Hollywood thriller and brooding arthouse character piece. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Anna M. (2007)62%
/
3/5
 
"The women are so seemingly at ease in their roles that the movie drifts towards its happy-ever-after finale without a missed beat. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)65%
/
1/5
 
"The kind of meaningless middlebrow sludge that passes for “quality movie-making” in some of the more conservative sectors of the British film industry" -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Brick Lane (2008)62%
/
4/5
 
"Effortlessly compelling and, at times, moving. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)69%
/
1/5
 
"A loving testament to exploitation horror cinema and a moronic sop to a certain generation of male film fans’ obsession with breasts, guns and gore. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Planet Terror (2007)77%
/
3/5
 
"An informative and unashamedly apocalyptic documentary about the world’s obsession with oil that makes An Inconvenient Truth look positively chipper." -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)79%
/
2/5
 
"Despite the film’s admirable brevity it’s still hard to maintain a wry ironic grin for a full 81 minutes. " -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Air Guitar Nation (2007)83%
/
5/5
 
"Deserts, mountains, railroads, bears and a sad and lonely epiphany about the nature of human existence!" -- Little White Lies
Posted Nov 7, 2007
 
Into the Wild (2007)83%
/
4/5
 
"When the band and the film move in sweet simpatico they produce a few precious moments of transcendent grandeur." -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
Heima: A Film by Sigur Ros (2007)100%
/
3/5
 
"The film describes emotional and moral rehabilitation in the face of extreme danger." -- Times [UK]
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
The Lookout (2007)87%

"The constant see-sawing of emotion eventually becomes repetitive and wearisome." -- Times [UK]

"You probably won’t find a more comprehensive document of space exploration on film." -- Times [UK]

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)94%
/
4/5

Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
3:10 to Yuma (2007)89%
/
1/5
 
"Finally, the costly price you pay for watching Death Sentence is the 105 minutes that you’re never going to get back and that could have been spent doing something more constructive, such as beating your head against a brick wall." -- Times [UK]
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
Death Sentence (2007)17%
/
4/5
 
"Even if by the closing act the movie has begun to feel a bit preposterous (enter the giant sea storm) and the resolution a bit saccharine, that’s a small price to pay for a movie that’s trying hard to reinvent horror the old-fashioned way." -- Times [UK]
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
1408 (2007)78%
/
4/5
 
"The news that the 38-year-old gamine has not only directed Two Days in Paris but produced, written, edited, written the music for and starred in it might be slightly terrifying to all but Delpy obsessives. But it’s great." -- Times [UK]
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
2 Days In Paris (2007)87%
/
4/5
 
"Devised by its star Christopher Lee, director Robin Hardy and writer Anthony Shaffer as a meditation on the rise of New Age spiritualism, the movie is now, of course, gleefully camp and a tad reactionary." -- Times [UK]
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
The Wicker Man (1973)90%
/
2/5
 
"There comes a point in the highly lauded and award-winning French language Lady Chatterley that you want to scream: “Just shag him already! It’s only sex!”." -- Times [UK]

Lady Chatterley (2007)74%

Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
Brief Encounter (1946)82%
/
3/5
 
"Funny, clever and at times even hilarious... But sadly, it’s also a minor movie and never more inspiring than the sum of its admittedly witty parts." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jul 25, 2007
 
The Simpsons Movie (2007)89%
/
2/5
 
"The unfunny doppelgängers only remind us, unfortunately, of how formulaic and mechanical this once inspired turn has become." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jun 30, 2007
 
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)45%
/
2/5
 
"The show is ultimately ruined by its ophidian writer/presenter Pilger, who is something of an acquired taste" -- Times [UK]
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
The War on Democracy (2007)83%

2/5
 
"I know, you couldn’t make it up. But someone did." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
Vacancy (2007)56%
/
3/5
 
"The movie seems at times so impressed by its own allegory that it lessens the human drama running beneath it." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
Grow Your Own (2007)57%
/
3/5
 
"At last! A comic-book block-buster that doesn’t feel the need to justify its own existence with ponderous philosophical subtext and bloated running times." -- Times [UK]
Posted Jun 13, 2007
 
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)35%
/
5/5
 
"That Jackson’s King Kong upgrades the now hammy original with wit, heart and humour is a pleasant surprise. That it does so by reinventing the action blockbuster, in form and emotional impact, is nothing less than an act of cinematic alchemy." -- Times [UK]
