3/5
 
"As a melodramatic period potboiler it works well enough." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jul 22, 2008
 
Before the Rains (2008)45%
/
3/5
 
"It's just unfortunate that this interpretation of Wanted has such a ramshackle narrative." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jun 25, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)72%
/
 
"Achieves just the right combination of lore and fetishized action movie." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jun 17, 2008
 
Blade (1998)55%
/
3.5/5
 
"A great little documentary, full of laughs, drama and tension. It's like Rocky, but with a joystick. And an opponent who isn't actually seen stepping into the ring." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jun 6, 2008
 
The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)97%
/
 
"Within the witlessness and crudeness is a touching (or mawkish, depending on your perspective) romantic comedy trying to get out." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 29, 2008
 
50 First Dates (2004)44%
/
 
"Intelligent and highly thought-provoking." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 18, 2008
 
Traffic (2000)92%

"Quintessential Batman and a quality cartoon." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 18, 2008
 
Batman - Mask of the Phantasm (1993)87%
/
2.5/5
 
"An endearing revival for TV's favourite hicks." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 13, 2008
 
The Beverly Hillbillies (1993)25%
/
3/5
 
"A slow, cold first half is followed by a lively, sunny second half." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 13, 2008
 
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)75%
/
 
"It's nicely realised, by human and roach alike, and something of a landmark in cinematic grossness." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 12, 2008
 
Joe's Apartment (1996)12%
/
 
"Stuffed with wisecracking, punning and essential deadpanning care of the film's most notable star performer Murray (who has such delivery down as a fine art), the film also packs in a half-decent narrative." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 6, 2008
 
Ghostbusters (1984)93%
/
 
"With its blend of horror and sci-fi and crap and cool, and its deceitful story-line, Phantasm's certainly unlike other American films of the period." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 6, 2008
 
Phantasm (1978)67%
/
 
"Goyer's film is an entertaining though a hit and miss addition to the franchise." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Apr 17, 2008
 
Blade: Trinity (2004)27%
/
5/5
 
"With its great turns by Donat, Carroll (the original Hitchcock blonde) and all the cast, and immaculate direction of a cracking script, this is timelessly enjoyable. A true classic." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
The 39 Steps (1935)96%
/
 
"A dark, exciting and enjoyable action-thriller for adolescent boys of all ages." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)61%
/
5/5
 
"Colourful, energetic and well-cast, Spider-Man is a good-quality, highly-entertaining action movie." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
Spider-Man (2002)90%
/
 
"Delving into confusion and messing with genre expectations, as well as making some serious points about contemporary morality, this is thought-provoking film. Though not exactly an entirely successful one." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Mar 2, 2008
 
Demonlover (2003)48%
/
3.5/5
 
"Stewart's 'personal journey' format isn't entirely successful, and verges on the egotistical, but the message of this film, and the imagery and statistics it tells it with, is angry, credible and worthwhile." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Sharkwater (2007)81%
/
 
"It's very much of its time, overblown and overlong -- but Ben-Hur is rightfully lodged at the forefront of Hollywood history." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Ben-Hur (1959)91%
/
5/5
 
"Meaty and satisfying." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Gladiator (2000)77%
/
4/5
 
"Classy, intriguing and highly entertaining." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
The Lady Vanishes (1938)96%
/
2.5/5
 
"A crime melodrama that takes risks with characterisation and narrative structure, but ends up as awkward, indulgent and hard to like as its main protagonists." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)88%
/
4/5
 
"A film that blends a blockbustery bluster with a gaunt apocalyptic sobriety to good effect that is only compromised by its latter stages." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
I Am Legend (2007)69%
/
3/5
 
"Heavy-handed at times and poorly plotted, but energetic and funny. A suitably undignified return to the screen for the notorious school and its out-of-control pupils." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Dec 21, 2007
 
St. Trinian's (2007)41%
/
3.5/5
 
"Thrilling, moving, visually spot-on and featuring a great cast, this is another impressive fantasy film, although one that rushes headlong through many of the important nuances of its source material." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
The Golden Compass (2007)41%
/
4/5
 
"A graceful, intelligent movie, and one that gives Casey Affleck a chance to really shine." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Nov 30, 2007
 
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)75%
/
3.5/5
 
"Passionate about the importance of music, August Rush is an ambitious family film that just about keeps its head above the rising waters of gushing sentimentality." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
August Rush (2007)38%
/
3/5
 
"Pleasant, especially on the design front, but a lack of narrative substance makes the whole a little too indulgently whimsical." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%
/
4/5
 
"One of those rare blockbuster-type productions that works well thanks to its intelligent script and visual splendour." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)69%
/
3.5/5
 
"A compelling documentary, wrought with a dry rationalism and presenting the horrifying case of the stuff that's both "the bloodstream of the world economy" and "the excrement of the devil"." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)79%
/
3/5
 
"A refreshing variation on the vampire movie formula, with a strong premise and a fair bit of splatter, but insufficient verve to last out its nearly two hour running time." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
30 Days of Night (2007)49%
/
3/5
 
"A unique and memorable film, as much for its Danish animated approach to a vigilante vengeance as for its messed-up morality." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Princess (2007)55%
/
3/5
 
"A straightforward and mostly forgettable coming-of-age drama." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
The Nanny Diaries (2007)34%
/
3/5
 
"Probably won't get the Oscar accolades of earlier, more inspired, idiosyncratic projects from the CGI masters. It's still good quality fare for the kids - although whether they really need the same old homilies again is debatable." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)95%
/
 
"A very tasty exercise in supernatural and psychological horror." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 26, 2007
 
A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003)86%
/
 
"An imaginatively twisted lesson in film history and a glorious gothic comedy-drama." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
Shadow of the Vampire (2000)82%
/
4.5/5
 
"This is both a fine straight-up horror and an archly sly comment on consumer society." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
Dawn of the Dead (1978)97%
/
 
"Creepy, freaky and memorably histrionic." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)89%
/
4/5
 
"Stylish, intelligent and creepy. Cinematic storytelling at its finest, where word and image are perfectly married." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
The Innocents (1961)95%
/
 
"Sumptuous yet earthy, philosophical yet humorous, it's a masterpiece in its own right." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Nosferatu: The Vampyre (1979)96%
/
5/5
 
"Chilling but moving classic of British cinema." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
Don't Look Now (1974)94%
/
3/5
 
"Daniel Radcliffe indicates he may be able to shake off Harry Potter in this amiable little drama." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
December Boys (2007)42%
/
3/5
 
"A film that would be odious were it not realised with such verve and gleeful, inventive 'Looney Tunes' audacity, and only a trim 86 minutes long." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Shoot 'Em Up (2007)66%
/
2.5/5
 
"With some remarkable dance and spectacle, this is a unique film, but not exactly one with broad appeal." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Opera Jawa (2006)100%
/
3/5
 
"Miyazaki Jr has a long way to go before he can hold a candle to his father's work, but Tales From Earthsea still carries the Ghibli mark of quality." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
Tales from Earthsea (2006)57%
/
3.5/5
 
"Gere's best film in years." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
3/5
 
"Not as hard-hitting and incisive as it could have been but a relatively thoughtful and thought-provoking film nonetheless." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 4, 2007
 
Fast Food Nation (2006)51%
/
4/5
 
"A heady assault on the repression, complacency and frustration of 1950s America." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Bigger Than Life (1956)92%
/
 
"Despite flaws and compromises, it's ballsier than The Sixth Sense, less laboured than The Others ..." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted May 3, 2006
 
An American Haunting (2006)12%
/
 
"Energetic, genre-straddling, and dubiously inspired, Save The Green Planet is a remarkable film." -- Channel 4 Film
Posted Oct 20, 2004
 
Save The Green Planet! (2005)87%
