	"The movie is prettily done in a fairly obvious way, but there's little insight into the emerging nationalist movement, which remains at best a shimmering backdrop in soft focus." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jul 25, 2008	Before the Rains (2008)	45%
	"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%
	"Made of Honour, as well as flaunting one of the most useless titular puns in the history of cinema, is rubbish." -- Daily Telegraph Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"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%
	"Astonishingly sexist." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Mar 28, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
	"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%
	"The redeeming thing - and it's really all in Heigl's performance - is that Jane knows she's a silly clich�, and spends most of the movie inwardly wincing at her own haplessness." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Mar 28, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
	"All credit to writer-director Oliver Parker for trying to broaden his CV, but Danny Huston is a terrible bore as Welles, Paz Vega continues to be incomprehensible in English, and the murky mystery plot limps along unrewardingly." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Mar 7, 2008	Fade to Black (2006)	29%
	"This is hardly a new idea by now, and Romero does it to death with ponderous musings about camcorder culture and the ethics of stopping to look, not to help. Intermittent fun, though." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Mar 7, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
	"Watchably silly at best, it's the political thriller as an unintentional comedy of errors - 24 meets Noises Off." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Mar 7, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	"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%
	"At best the movie's an unpretentious pile-up of B-movie clich�s, but why "Requiem"? Time to give it a rest now." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jan 18, 2008	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	14%
	"Such a big grey blanket of misery it should have been called "Eternal Cloud Cover"." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Good Night (2007)	26%
	"The end of a golden run for Judd Apatow." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Jan 18, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
	"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%
	"In a tale of passion, don�t we want passion? Instead of Rivette�s painterly pose-striking tableaux, would we not like some madness and modernism?" -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 28, 2007	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
	"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%
	"There's something timid and tasteful about the filmmaking which struck me as pretty mendacious, in a story about a blood bond severed by rape and mended, a generation on, by a rather too tidy act of atonement." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 28, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
	"Pure hell." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 21, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
	"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%
	"In a would-be sexy romp full of rumoured threesomes, there's nowhere near enough actual flesh on display." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 14, 2007	Les Chansons d'Amour (2007)	38%
	"It's hard to get past an almost sadistic aloofness in the storytelling, and several of Fiennes's flapping plot strands wither on the vine." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 14, 2007	Chromophobia (2005)	31%
	"It's a fascinating train wreck in many ways, with flashes here and there of the painful disquisition on mortality it might have been. Salvaging much more was beyond me." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 14, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
	"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%
	"Chapman is allowed to shove his face into the camera once too often, and it feels as if his illness is being paraded for our fascination." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
	"*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%
No Rating	"A Mighty Heart has nothing to fear from writer-director Jamil Dehlavi's fictionalistion of Daniel Pearl's kidnapping, which is laborious in its point-making and can't disguise its bargain-basement origins." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	Infinite Justice (2006)	43%
	"With James Conlon conducting, this Flute is perfectly in tune - so it's a shame Branagh keeps dropping it in the mud." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Magic Flute (2006)	69%
	"Fred Claus is in the grand tradition of a certain type of Yuletide farce - one that's about as funny as a crushed bauble in your egg nog." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 30, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
	"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%
	"None too persuasive." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 16, 2007	Anna M. (2007)	62%
	"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%
	"The Jane Austen Book Club, based on Karen Joy Fowler's bestseller, offers a distinctive vision of hell - a plane of being where there are only six novels that matter, and they're consulted like all-purpose agony aunts." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 16, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
	"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%
	"Prominent base notes of chauvinism and insincerity here." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 2, 2007	Pr�te-moi Ta Main (2006)	57%
	"This being Robin Williams, it's hard to find his routines as vote-winningly hilarious as they're meant to be." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 2, 2007	Man of the Year (2006)	20%
	"It's a pity Frank is too busy laying on the wintry atmospherics to make the story grip as it should." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 2, 2007	The Lookout (2007)	87%
	"I hear the script was funny, which is hard to believe: this is grim, misjudged and seems to go on for ever." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 2, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	62%
	"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%
	"Adapted from the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, 30 Days of Night is so dead serious you may feel the frequent urge to poke it in the ribs." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Nov 2, 2007	30 Days of Night (2007)	49%
	"We don't learn a lot from Rodolphe Marconi's up-close but annoyingly impersonal documentary, which devotes pointless minutes to KL dozing on planes, and snootily considers his importance a given." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 26, 2007	Lagerfeld Confidential (2007)	41%
	"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%
	"Parents! Hire a bouncy castle. Put on clown paint and make balloon animals. You need not see this." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 19, 2007	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	1%
	"There's something very weird about Andrew Fleming's movie, perhaps because it's essentially The Black Dahlia for tweens, with kissing but without the sex or mutilation." -- Daily Telegraph Posted Oct 19, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
