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]

Black Water (2007)79%
/
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%
/
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%
/
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%
/
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%
/
2/5
 
"The constant see-sawing of emotion eventually becomes repetitive and wearisome." -- Times [UK]

Interview (2007)57%

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%
/
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]

Gandhi, My Father (2007)40%
/
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]

Vacancy (2007)56%

"As an ambitious and overreaching break with Smith's provincial milieu Dogma is a failed experiment, but a noble failure." -- Sight and Sound
Posted Dec 2, 2002
 
Dogma (1999)68%
/
 
"The simplistic shooting structure which slavishly separates comic set-pieces and plot exposition with musical montages doesn't help things." -- Sight and Sound
