3/5
 
"Stop Loss takes some time out from the argument over the validity of the war to ask a question closer to home - whether the emotional battlefield America subjects its young soldiers to is actually worth it." -- BBC

"Like Tess and Finn, the makers of Fool's Gold are motivated by lucre, not love." -- BBC

"It's good-looking, good-natured and sophisticated, but Leatherheads can't choose between football biopic or screwball romance." -- BBC

2/5
 
"The film hangs on themes of lost love, longing and lies buried deep in family history, but with a tonne of sentimentality and mawkishness to carry it really drags its feet." -- BBC
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
Closing the Ring (2007)27%

2/5
 
"With such a thin plot, the CGI here is adequate yet underwhelming, and the same can be said for the gags" -- BBC
Posted Dec 18, 2007
 
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)25%
/
3/5
 
"A huge budget allows for spectacular CGI sequences and Branagh concocts some startlingly inspired ways to accompany Mozart's music in visuals." -- BBC

The Magic Flute (2006)69%

4/5
 
"What makes this film a real gem is Kervel's brilliant performance, personifying this stage of growing up with a perfect balance of bratishness, bright intellect, humour and innocence. She's a revelation." -- BBC

Blame it on Fidel (2006)93%
/
4/5
 
"In some places the camerawork feels a little underwhelming, and at times the leads' inexperience in acting shows up in comparison to their musical performances, but overall it works as a quiet, wistful modern romance." -- BBC

Once (2007)97%

"The problem in making a documentary about Moore, though, is that it probably won't be as interesting as a documentary made by him, even if his techniques are used." -- BBC
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
Manufacturing Dissent (2007)52%
/
3/5
 
"It's all very smooth, but the problem is it's also a bit anodyne and unlikely to hold up in comparisons to Clooney's other 'serious' films, whose stories have more to offer underneath the polish." -- BBC
Posted Sep 28, 2007

"Lest we think that all youths in sportswear are out to mug us, energetic documentary In the Hands of the Gods shows there are at least five British boys in hoodies who've got something positive to do." -- BBC

"Someone Else is the top end of indie filmmaking, with a polished script and even shinier cinematography from Trevor Forrest, but it's low-key enough not to verge onto Richard Curtis territory." -- BBC

Someone Else (2006)50%

3/5
 
"Gatlif's vision of life on the open road is highly (sometimes overly) romantic, peppered with lively music and striking landscapes: it's the feeding of the senses that takes priority over plotting or polish in Transylvania." -- BBC
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Transylvania (2006)69%
/
3/5
 
"Good for fans of the director but perhaps too heavy going for an afternoon in front of the television." --

"A worthy look at an exploitation that really shouldn't exist in this day and age, Black Gold will hopefully shock audiences into looking for the Fairtrade symbol next time they're in the supermarket." -- Channel 4 Film

"A perfect example of Godard shaking up convention and exploring new ways of making cinema, Alphaville is challenging in places and thematically familiar in others." -- Channel 4 Film

Alphaville (1965)87%

"Unfortunately director Mo Lab is so caught up in flashy visuals that he misses the fact that the script is badly structured and stuffed with cringe-worthy gags." -- BBC

"Fun rather than thrilling, this duplicitous tale certainly isn't Stranger On A Train, but Hitchcock's weak films are still better than most." -- Channel 4 Film
