"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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"Astonishingly sexist." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)5%
/
 
"The redeeming thing - and it's really all in Heigl's performance - is that Jane knows she's a silly cliché, 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%
/
 
"At best the movie's an unpretentious pile-up of B-movie clichés, 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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"None too persuasive." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Anna M. (2007)62%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"Prominent base notes of chauvinism and insincerity here." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
Prête-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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"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%
/
 
"An orgy of portents that runs out of oomph." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Seeker (2007)13%
/
 
"Colin Firth is not an actor who projects sparkling joie de vivre at the best of times, and The Last Legion, a cod-Roman reimagining of Arthurian myth, is very much not the best of times." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Last Legion (2007)17%
/
 
"Novelist Jack Finney's body snatchers have appeared in some fine movies, but the only disturbing-looking thing here is what they've done to Nicole Kidman's lips." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
The Invasion (2007)19%
/
 
"If Sofia Coppola were given a lobotomy and asked to remake The Devil Wears Prada for the au pair profession, she might have produced something like this horribly pleased-with-itself childcare comedy." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
The Nanny Diaries (2007)34%
/
 
"It's high time for "Resident Evil: Enough is Enough"." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)22%
/
 
"There's enough ambition for a miniseries here, and satellite viewers already have the rather terrific Dexter. Stuffed into two hours, it's all a bit of a pile-up." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Mr. Brooks (2007)56%
/
 
""Epidemic of Love" would be more like it." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
Feast of Love (2007)41%
/
 
"Stiller's timing rescues the first half, but his character is so dislikeable that the movie has nothing left going for it when the punchlines dry up, except for some smirking cynicism about relationships." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)29%
/
 
"Like watching an elephant mate with a gazelle." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
The Singer (2006)94%

"Dour and schematic drama about disenfranchised factory workers." -- Daily Telegraph

The Right of the Weakest (2006)67%
/
 
"Needlessly cruel comedy." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
Rocket Science (2007)84%
/
 
"Across the Universe is much too literal-minded to be the far-out, visionary folly she may have intended – not so much cinema on LSD as the ravings of an earnest hippie in a recovery programme." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
Across the Universe (2007)54%
/
 
"Like Foster's character, Erica Bain, the movie makes a tortured show of conscience, then trades it in for a leather jacket and a semi-automatic." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
The Brave One (2007)44%
/
 
"What justified filming Dominic Leyton's play Collision is hard to see, but the decisions taken in opening it out are what truly wreck Gary Love's misbegotten attempt to do so." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Sugarhouse (2007)29%
/
 
"Messages, as Sam Goldwyn famously advised, are better left to Western Union." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Seraphim Falls (2007)54%
/
 
"Ali Larter plays an amazingly bitchy actress sent to Bollywood. They hate her, then they love her. I didn't quite get the love bit." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Marigold (2007)35%
/
 
"Lead couple Lily (Loren Horsley) and Jarrod (Jemaine Clement) are such unoriginal, checklist misfits that there's little about them to celebrate or even stomach." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)54%
/
 
"A great example of that time-honoured genre, the biopic so silly it plays like a spoof." -- Daily Telegraph
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Copying Beethoven (2006)26%
/
 
"The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock." -- Daily Telegraph
