4/5
 
"Good comedy knows no gender, and be you woman, man or any sentient being with a funny bone, you will find boundless delight in two people doing what they do best: being very, very funny." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 21, 2008
 
Baby Mama (2008)61%
/
5/5
 
"Absolute heaven." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%
/
3/5
 
"The Ocean’s Eleven: The College Years mood makes for a breezy good time, even if there is, like Vegas, precious little substance beneath the glitz." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
21 (2008)35%
/
4/5
 
"A good old-fashioned horror in the best possible way, this is a beautifully told, terrifying ghost story that lingers with you long after the shivers have stopped. " -- Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 20, 2008
 
The Orphanage (2007)86%
/
3/5
 
"t’s Liman’s least charismatic action movie and the least developed, but it still packs some cracking action into its brief running time and lays foundations on which a great franchise could be built." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 15, 2008
 
Jumper (2008)16%
/
5/5
 
"A dazzling experiment that paid off immensely, this is cinematic pleasure at its purest." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 22, 2008
 
Cloverfield (2008)77%
/
3/5
 
"Structurally it’s a bit ragtag, but, as your mum would say, it has its heart in the right place. For all its wilful oddness it’s enchanting, imaginative and genuinely moving." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)36%
/
3/5
 
"The dedicated fairy tale fan will have tons of fun spotting all the references. Adams, meanwhile, gives one of the comedy performances of the year." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 4, 2007
 
Enchanted (2007)93%
/
4/5
 
"A delightfully surreal look at a bizarre performance art. " -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 8, 2007
 
Air Guitar Nation (2007)83%
/
4/5
 
"So quirky that it’s almost in danger of collapsing under the weight of its own antic whimsy at times, but a comic delight destined for cult adoration." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)54%
/
4/5
 
"An unassuming treat amid the noisy blockbuster season. It’ll melt your heart and any dietary resolve equally." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Waitress (2007)89%
/
3/5
 
"The bumbling charms of the stars just about pull this through, but there’ll be few calls for an encore come the final curtain. " -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 18, 2007
 
Magicians (2007)29%
/
3/5
 
"It's Sarah Polley through and through: slightly too glum for its own good, but reeking of quality and feeling." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Away From Her (2007)95%
/
3/5
 
"It suffers from ADD, but there’s some terrific stuff in here. Leaving 15 minutes from the end and saving yourself a lumbering coda may improve enjoyment." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
Alpha Dog (2007)55%
/
4/5
 
"Aside from a last-act blip when everything goes a little bit “what the hell?”, this is a knuckle-gnawingly tense, glorious action thriller and marks yet another genre nailed by Danny Boyle." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 10, 2007
 
Sunshine (2007)75%
/
3/5
 
"It’s not on a gasp-inducing making-the-Statue-Of-Liberty-disappear level, but with its opulent presentation and confident storytelling, The Illusionist has the power to keep an audience rapt like a good old-fashioned card trick." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 27, 2007
 
The Illusionist (2006)75%
/
4/5
 
"It suffers occasionally from self-consciousness and over-indulgence in its own oddity, but Gondry’s grasp of emotion and visuals is enchanting. Even if he seems several sandwiches short of a picnic." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 14, 2007
 
The Science of Sleep (2006)69%
/
4/5
 
"Even without the inspired idea of Shaun Of The Dead it’s an easy match for laughs, and marks Nick Frost as a vital part of this team’s appeal. The boys (now in blue) have done it again." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 14, 2007
 
Hot Fuzz (2007)90%
/
3/5
 
"Filmically it's more of a pleasantly diverting kick about in the park than a 90th minute back-of-the-net at the world cup final." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 6, 2007
 
Goal II: Living the Dream (2007)43%
/
4/5
 
"Intelligent, classy and skin-crawling. You won't see a better acting masterclass this year." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 29, 2007
 
Notes on a Scandal (2006)87%
/
3/5
 
"Full respect to Carnahan for making the tired crime genre feel fresh, but it would have been more fun without a last-minute attempt to make it mean something." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 4, 2007
 
Smokin' Aces (2007)27%
/
4/5
 
"Bigger, Better and with more dimensions..." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 30, 2006
 
The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D (2006)n/a
/
4/5
 
"The best animated movie of the year and only a whisker shy of the brilliance of Wallace and Gromit." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 29, 2006
 
Flushed Away (2006)73%
/
4/5
 
"Crediting its audience with emotional intelligence, this rises well above your usual rom-com-dram." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 21, 2006
 
The Last Kiss (2006)46%
/
3/5
 
"Fans happy to luxuriate in its artistic indulgence, however, will be swept up in the weird, random, fantastic OutKastness of it all." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 6, 2006
 
Idlewild (2006)48%
/
3/5
 
"A small, strangely sweet tale well told. But this is all about Mol, who puts in a performance that gives her a very early lead on next year’s Oscar race." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)55%
/
3/5
 
"Judged against previous form, this is not Pixar firing on all cylinders, lacking the sophisticated comedy we’ve come to expect. Judged against fare from other studios, however, it’s a triumph." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 28, 2006
 
Cars (2006)75%
/
4/5
 
"If you’re a novice, this is a plucky introduction to Whedon’s world and the most fun sci-fi of the year. If you’re a devotee, this is the magnificent return you’ve been praying for." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Serenity (2005)82%
/
3/5
 
"Overlong and slightly muddled, this is nevertheless an enjoyable showcase for the superb Steve Carell." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 26, 2005
 
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)84%
/
3/5
 
"Judged apart from its mousehouse history it's highly likeable, pleasantly unpretentious and plenty amusing." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 6, 2004
 
Home on the Range (2004)54%
/
4/5
 
"Aniston may not have received her much-touted Oscar nomination, but this brilliantly funny and often touching film should assure her a solid post-Friends career." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 2, 2003
 
The Good Girl (2002)81%
/
3/5
 
"It's completely harmless -- taking that as a pro or a con will be entirely up to the individual viewer." -- Empire Magazine
