2/5	" Won't win many friends and will alienate some old ones." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	34%
1/5	" It isn't at all emotionally involving. Charles Ryder remains a cold fish, and Goode endows him with good looks instead of personality. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	63%
2/5	" Seeing a personification of America exterminate pesky foreigners as if they're so many cockroaches does have entertainment value, despite its worrying overtones. It's just weird that it's been made, with no apparent irony, by a couple of Frenchmen." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Taken (2009)	48%
0/5	" The remake illustrates only how low modern action movies can stoop. Necks are broken, guts eviscerated. Fans of impaling and decapitation will not be disappointed. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Death Race (2008)	43%
2/5	" If a western is going to be this slow, it needs to have a lot more tension, and deeper meaning, than this one. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	76%
2/5	" The whole thing feels as tired and over-familiar as its leading men. Really, only three words need saying to Pacino and De Niro: you're too old. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	23%
1/5	" Unendurable American middle-aged whingeing." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	52%
2/5	" When a film strives this hard to be non-controversial and fashionably non-judgmental, it takes a lot of the sting out of its social comment. It just ends up as defeatist, liberal hand-wringing. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Linha de passe ()	75%
2/5	" Admittedly, I am a man, but I am partial to a good chick flick. This one made me feel as if I had been trapped in the perfume hall at Selfridges." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	10%
2/5	" Though there are funny one-liners early on, the script becomes increasingly lazy, while the violence which takes over the second half feels as if it belongs to a different picture. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
5/5	" It doesn't fight shy of a truly frightening final twist, which makes it not only bleaker but also more truthful than virtually every other movie in this genre, which all too often is over-populated and under-humanised." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Eden Lake (2008)	78%
3/5	" Despite the 12A certificate, I would regard this as most suitable for intelligent children aged ten to 12, who will be more prepared than adults to ignore its major implausibility - that security at concentration camps was ever this inefficient." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)	81%
0/5	" This is Guy Ritchie's third turkey in a row, after Swept Away and Revolver. It is a pitiful attempt to recapture the success of his first two movies, Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	63%
3/5	" The Duchess lacks the high romance of Pride And Prejudice and the tragic depth of Atonement, it is a decent example of English heritage cinema. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	60%
0/5	" It's not even value for money if you're a moron." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	Disaster Movie (2008)	0%
1/5	" The script is a compendium of cliches, but not all boring. There is one passable chase scene on motor boats and a characteristically gruesome shoot-out at the end. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	10%
2/5	" It's a reasonably promising debut, though, and Sir Ben looks as though he had a lot of fun, not least when he's deflowering Mary-Kate Olsen, surprisingly funny as the planet's last remaining hippy. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	67%
2/5	" There's no denying that The Strangers fulfils its limited objective of showing nasty things happening to defenceless people. For some audiences that may be enough - but not for me or, I hope, for you. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	43%
1/5	" The staleness of the script is reflected only too accurately in the kind of action sequences that most of us have seen dozens of times before. Not even Diesel can power this one. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
2/5	" The latest offering from Shane Meadows has, like most of his others, received enormous critical acclaim; and once again, I don't know what he has done to deserve it. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Somers Town (2008)	89%
3/5	" The picture works best as a comedy, and early on it's consistently amusing, with a refreshingly witty script and skilful actors in Carell, Arkin and, more surprisingly, Johnson, to put across the verbal and sight gags with brio. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	52%
0/5	" This is one of those churn-'em-out Disney comedies in which every performer seems to be competing to give the most annoying performance in cinematic history. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	13%
4/5	" A devil of a good sequel." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
1/5	" By the end, I felt as though I had been carpet-bombed by comedy's answer to Vladimir Putin. But, on second thoughts, Putin is funnier. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	35%
	" Heaven knows why Star Wars creator George Lucas thought this worthy of a cinema release. It is an amateurishly written, inadequately animated, tenth-rate rip-off." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
2/5	" This isn't Fantastic Mr Fox, it's just an ordinary vixen who I wished would stay well away from this tiresome child, and let her make some friends with someone of her own age and species." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Fox & the Child (2008)	47%
2/5	" I can't help feeling this kind of slow, introspective, angst-ridden fare is better suited to the novel than to the big screen." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 8, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
	" Mindless popcorn movies are fine, as long as they're inventive and don't treat their audience like idiots. But this one isn't, and does." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
1/5	" It's lost its X-factor. I wanted to leave." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 1, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%
1/5	" My heartfelt advice is have mercy on your children and take them to see WALL-E instead." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 1, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	35%
	" No child under 12 should have to undergo it. The same, mind you, goes for anyone over 12. Verdict: You'll hate it." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Aug 1, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
2/5	" The plot is often impossible to follow. And the film, though dark, isn't as deep as some have claimed." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
3/4	" A lightweight romantic comedy that's to be welcomed, if only for the fact it offers juicy roles to talented writer-actresses Tina Fey and Amy Poehler." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jul 25, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
3/4	" Beneath its girlie trappings...this is a movie with many traditional virtues." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jul 25, 2008	Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)	67%
1/5	" Grotty rotty shot by potty totty." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Mar 28, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
2/5	" Roland Emmerich loves to make big, dumb movies, and though this may not be his biggest, it's certainly his dumbest. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Mar 14, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
0/5	" The fourth and, amazingly, the most meat-headed adventure yet of the killing machine John Rambo can safely be recommended to people who hate intelligence and love exploding body parts. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Feb 22, 2008	Rambo (2008)	37%
3/5	" This biopic rocks - well, the first half does." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jan 18, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
1/5	" If the hero has trouble dozing off, that's not a problem which will affect many viewers of this movie. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Good Night (2007)	26%
3/5	" Sure to wow the critics, but no movie for the masses." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jan 18, 2008	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
5/5	" Accept no substitutes for this blissful original. " -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Lady Vanishes (1938)	96%
3/5	" Despite stunning visuals, it is a B-movie." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Dec 28, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
	" Enchanting, fantastic fun for all the family." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Dec 14, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%
3/5	" Savage, yes. But Beowulf is monstrously entertaining." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 16, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
1/5	" Into The Wild gets lost in a self-indulgent wilderness." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 9, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
1/5	" Made for sheep by donkeys." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 9, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
0/5	" A farce - but not in the way its makers intended." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 2, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	63%
2/5	" Good idea, boring execution." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 2, 2007	30 Days of Night (2007)	50%
2/5	" Interview is a decently acted two-hander fringe play that doesn't deserve to be on film." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 2, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
2/5	" The film is just about worth seeing for the wigs and costumes. But Elizabeth: The Golden Age sank without trace in American cinemas, and I fear it will do the same here." -- Daily Mail [UK] Posted Nov 2, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
