	"I approached with a mixture of dread and resignation. And was promptly charmed to pieces." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 25, 2008	Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)	54%
	"There will surely come a point when the mythology around Salford's most famous rock group will run dry, but it hasn't yet: this superbly made documentary by Grant Gee deserves to sit on DVD shelves everywhere as a companion piece to Control." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 2, 2008	Joy Division (2006)	n/a
	"The movie gets plain silly, but at least it's lively, and young girls will enjoy Nim's lifestyle in her eco-friendly and frolic-packed tropical paradise." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 2, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	49%
	"Based on yet another Marvel series, Iron Man has plenty of things going for it, the main assets being an enjoyably sardonic Downey, his hardware, and the downturned mouth of his new metal visage - a warning that this self-styled messiah means business." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 2, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
	"A war drama about waiting, and the director, Joseph Cedar, does a terrific job hanging danger and crushing tedium in the air, side by side." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Mar 28, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	88%
	"A generous portrait of a community, past and present, reflecting on their unexpected contribution to the cinema." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jan 18, 2008	Back to Normandy (2008)	88%
	"Hauntingly photographed by Robbie M�ller, it's one of this hugely uneven filmmaker's crispest, finest moments." -- Independent Posted Jan 4, 2008	Alice in the Cities ()	100%
	"Shot in luminous, high-contrast black and white, it has the rugged if faintly self-important authority of a Hemingway short story." -- Independent Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Violin (2007)	94%
	"Van Sant's film is almost calculatedly minor, but it gets at something about adolescence as a wobbly and transitional business, not the semi-permanent grunge idyll he's sometimes guilty of loving a little too much." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 28, 2007	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
	"Camp fun, and catnip for a demographic that British cinema doesn't often bother to please." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 21, 2007	St. Trinian's (2007)	41%
	"The stand-out set piece is an agonising car chase in the rain, replacing the full-throttle showmanship of the Bourne series with a foot on the brake, a shotgun pointing out of the adjacent car, and a series of tight close-ups on the terrified Phoenix." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 14, 2007	We Own The Night (2007)	54%
	"*Fans of Philip Pullman's acclaimed novel The Golden Compass* may not approve of this new film adaptation, but it can't be faulted for excitement.*" -- Daily Telegraph* Posted Dec 5, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
	"There are plenty of surprises in this amusing Donnie Darko-ish metaphysical thriller, but watching Van Wilder and Blade: Trinity star Ryan Reynolds flex some previously hidden acting chops is the main one." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Nines (2007)	68%
	"The peerless tale of two rival drama queens, playing as the central attraction in the BFI Southbank's Joseph L Mankiewicz season, and rightly so." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	All About Eve (1950)	100%
	"Working from a sombre palette and with little to no dialogue, Tsai crafts a dazed fantasy about companionship and its power to revivify." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 16, 2007	I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)	88%
	"So extravagantly, hilariously rude as to be almost indescribable." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 16, 2007	The Wayward Cloud (2007)	82%
	"Adapted with refreshing irreverence by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary, even if students of the Anglo-Saxon text may be taken aback by some of their coarser liberties." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 16, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	69%
	"The friskiness of this pas de deux is something, and the acting duet enough of a selling point." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 2, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
	"Quite demented." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 26, 2007	No Smoking (2007)	50%
	"If Moore were a more radical polemicist, he might have focused squarely on this alarming social injustice, but, perhaps rightly, he sees a broader one. Even the insured are handing themselves over to a bewildering lottery." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 26, 2007	Sicko (2007)	93%
	"There's a shameless romantic streak here, quite welcome in a boy-targeted genre that usually insists battles are cool and love is for wimps." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 19, 2007	Stardust (2007)	76%
	"The jokes don't quite stay the course, but writer-director Jonathan King generates far too much goodwill for you to mind." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 12, 2007	Black Sheep (2007)	71%
	"A very thoughtful and imaginative effort." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 12, 2007	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
	"Fun horror-comedy about tourists being picked off in the swamps. Tongues are firmly in cheeks; heads don't stay long on shoulders." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 5, 2007	Hatchet (2007)	46%
	"Exposes a paranoid personality, testy with his critics and bullish about his methodology." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 5, 2007	Manufacturing Dissent (2007)	52%
	"If this mix doesn't entirely work, it's perhaps because there are so few surprises � the forensic elements of the investigation would be wrapped up in minutes by CSI's boffins. Still, it's possible to respect the effort while doubting the achievement." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
	"Part folk musical, part occult chiller, and quite mad." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 24, 2007	The Wicker Man (1973)	90%
	"Set aside any lingering preconceptions you might have about Lawrence, and prepare to be entranced." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 24, 2007	Lady Chatterley (2007)	74%
	"There are shades of the excellent Brian De Palma/John Travolta thriller Blow Out (1981) in this eerie little effort." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 17, 2007	Fissures (2007)	73%

	"An amusingly tense saga of literary con-artistry." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Aug 3, 2007	The Hoax (2007)	85%
	"No one would argue that this slight six-hander is one of Resnais's greatest movies, but it's far from an embarrassment, and even its strained comic business is enclosed within a prevailing atmosphere of wistful resignation." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 20, 2007	Private Fears in Public Places (2007)	79%
	"It is endlessly imitated and spoofed; it is also an august pinnacle of high-risk, high-art filmmaking, and one with a reputation for being far more forbidding and humourless than it actually is." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 20, 2007	The Seventh Seal (1957)	95%
	"The story's handled at a reasonable clip, and there are some good, if uniformly bearded, supporting performances." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 13, 2007	Macbeth (2007)	46%
	"Director Gy�rgy P�lfi is a talent to watch with your fingers over your eyes, but he�s also a proper filmmaker, fascinated by his characters� hereditary fetishes and finding consistently clever ways to surprise us with his camera." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 13, 2007	Taxidermia (2006)	79%
	"This is no biopic, but pure fantasy, a sort of "Moli�re in Love" infused with the bittersweet romantic spirit of the playwright's work." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 13, 2007	Moliere (2007)	70%
	"Dumont (L'humanit�, Twentynine Palms) mounts the brutish combat sequences with undeniable small-scale skill, though his constant see-sawing between images of sex and death verges on the masturbatory." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 6, 2007	Flanders (2006)	71%
	"You know where you are with Bruce Willis. Unlike Schwarzenegger, he won't be moving into namby-pamby politics any time soon. He differs from Stallone these days in managing not to resemble an aborted experiment at Madame Tussaud's" -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 6, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
	"The film of the week is 30 years old and hasn't aged a day. It's John Cassavetes's Opening Night, a truly mesmerising study of anxiety and identity crisis in theatreland." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jun 15, 2007	Opening Night (1977)	94%
	"A much better showcase for his talents" -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jun 15, 2007	Exiled (2007)	81%

	"Every scene in Bujalski's films is a little awkward, and just right." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 4, 2007	Mutual Appreciation (2006)	88%
	"Engaging and stimulating." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 4, 2007	Fast Food Nation (2006)	51%
	"This is well worth investigating." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 4, 2007	The Upside of Anger (2005)	74%
	"It's crisp and engaging, and bodes well for all involved." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Apr 27, 2007	The Puffy Chair (2006)	76%
	"It's impressively adult, sure-footed filmmaking, and that Best Actor nod was definitely deserved." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Apr 20, 2007	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
	"A decent enough calling-card picture that swaggers even as it stumbles." -- Sight and Sound Posted Feb 27, 2007	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	75%
	"As a grotesque parody of the hillbilly-terror genre, it has a real wit and energy." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 23, 2007	Sheitan (2006)	53%
	"Eastwood has made one of the most quietly devastating war movies of our time." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Feb 23, 2007	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	91%
