	"The focus is solidly on the human cost borne by those serving their country and their families." -- Time Out Posted Oct 13, 2007	Grace is Gone (2007)	57%
3/6	"It�s inanely-scripted exploitation, sure, but this �Halloween� doesn�t trivialise; it even returns with sympathy to one victim minutes after the attack that has left her bleeding on the floor." -- Time Out Posted Sep 28, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
3/6	"Smart attention is paid to some interesting tensions between old and new in areas as varied as pop culture, photography, effects work, automobile construction, telephony and audio recording technology." -- Time Out Posted Sep 21, 2007	Death Proof (2007)	61%
4/6	"�Superbad� at its best goes right through knockabout to land in deliciously obscene places � notably a staggering succession of doodles in which tumescent cocks take on various extraordinary guises." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
5/6	"The year�s best comedy; one that confirms the arrival of an extended group of talent that looks set to take the studio comedy crown from the likes of Ferrell, Stiller and Carrey." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
	"The anime-inflected look is generally impressive too, although the power-rock soundtrack is unsalvageable." -- Time Out Posted Aug 16, 2007	Transformers: The Movie (1986)	50%
3/6	"The Walker is at its best observing surfaces." -- Time Out Posted Aug 9, 2007	The Walker (2007)	52%
	"The Simpsons Movie does not feel at sea on the big screen and, crucially, it is very funny." -- Time Out Posted Jul 21, 2007	The Simpsons Movie (2007)	89%
4/6	"Campos establishes a complex nexus of contemporary social and aesthetic concerns with impressive economy and Logan�s double performance is strong." -- Time Out Posted Jul 17, 2007	Buy It Now (2005)	64%
3/6	"Though not as scabrous, as sharp or even as musically memorable as John Waters� original, it retains much of his filthy, big-hearted sensibility." -- Time Out Posted Jul 17, 2007	Hairspray (2007)	91%
	"A scientific context is offered by interviews with researchers expounding modes of intergalactic travel, but the real pleasures are in the organic beauty of deep spaces and the ambiguous position of the humans suspended in them." -- Time Out Posted Jun 14, 2007	The Wild Blue Yonder: A Science Fiction Fantasy (2006)	67%
4/6	"Several bravura suspense sequences � can�t help but recall slasher convention." -- Time Out Posted May 17, 2007	Zodiac (2007)	89%
	"The capital locations are put to cannily distressing use." -- Time Out Posted May 10, 2007	28 Weeks Later (2007)	71%
	"The tone is ultimately more subdued than your average superhero movie. Kudos to Raimi for making it feel justified." -- Time Out Posted May 4, 2007	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	61%
	"Despite their lackadaisical impression, the pictures are quite tightly structured: each scene covers emotional and narrative distance. Funny, forgiving, credible and deft, they offer much to appreciate." -- Time Out Posted May 3, 2007	Mutual Appreciation (2006)	88%
	"Jordan�s film is a glorious visual achievement in its own right, as well as part of the rancorous ongoing dispute over Smith�s legacy." -- Time Out Posted Apr 14, 2007	Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (2007)	83%
	"It�s in the relationship between the crew and the sun that �Sunshine� really shines." -- Time Out Posted Apr 10, 2007	Sunshine (2007)	75%
	"It�s a celebration of cinema-going as a �ritual experience or trip�, a communal adventure with no real equivalent in the exquisitely atomised YouTubeverse." -- Time Out Posted Mar 23, 2007	Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream (2007)	88%
	"The plot itself might not break much new ground, but the telling, by both cast and crew, makes this a memoir to remember." -- Time Out Posted Feb 28, 2007	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	75%
	"The whole thing invokes the bodies falling from that other architectural icon on 9/11 � but it�s not clear what is achieved beyond disturbance." -- Time Out Posted Feb 14, 2007	The Bridge (2006)	69%
	"It�s not a perfect template � running motifs are glaringly flagged up and there are at least two too many climaxes � but for both gags and thrills, few current British filmmakers come close." -- Time Out Posted Feb 14, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
4/6	"Integrates its slapstick genre pastiche into a thoughtful story about peer pressure, neglect and yearning" -- Time Out Posted Feb 3, 2007	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
4/6	"The lingering impressions here are of regret, resignation and renewal, the fascination of firm flesh and O�Toole growling �Come on, old man!� as he slaps his own sagging face." -- Time Out Posted Jan 26, 2007	Venus (2006)	89%
	"There�s something of a period quality to this beautifully photographed documentary snapshot of Iraq in transition." -- Time Out Posted Jan 16, 2007	Iraq in Fragments (2006)	91%
	"Cross-cutting between Roland Rat and Maggie Thatcher, rioting and the royal wedding, it’s a nifty scene-setter for a deft, heartfelt local story." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	This Is England (2007)	93%
	"Exemplifies the finest French traditions of dignified rationalism in the pursuit of understanding � in both personal and judicial contexts." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	Beyond Hatred (2005)	89%
4/6	"Typically slow, sensuous, mystifying and often mesmerising." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	Syndromes and A Century (2007)	87%
	"An affirmation of pleasure and generous-mindedness as well as credible takes on the different aches of adolescence and senescence." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	Venus (2006)	89%
	"[The film takes] some of its cues from the soaps and melodramas the characters watch together and others from a realist tradition of considerable emotional heft." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	Soap (2006)	55%
	"Few arthouse directors have put real sex to such narratively constructive and credibly, humorously human use." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	Shortbus (2006)	65%
3/6	" �Taxidermia� undoubtedly has its own unsavoury humour and gratuitous shock value, but its extremities and enormities yield less than the sum of their dismembered parts." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	Taxidermia (2006)	79%
	"*few directors can compose a movie with the power, grace and assurance that Scorsese brings to each shot and scene, and The Departed* is more fun, and certainly more funny, than his last few films.*" -- Time Out* Posted Oct 5, 2006	The Departed (2006)	92%
	"A disjunction remains between the story�s childlike form and its gruesome execution, but few directors are so adept at conveying both the uncanny in the real and the recognisable in the fantastic." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2006	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
	"...It�s some achievement that the film is both funnier and more moving on repeated viewing, when its pervasive dramatic ironies emerge." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2006	Volver (2006)	91%
	"*Wondrously attractive, all the more so for the avoidance (with one or two exceptions) of extrovert Waking Life-style set-pieces." -- Time Out New York* Posted Aug 17, 2006	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	67%
	"The affecting, gruelling result is less a document of recreational sport than one of obligation and ordeal." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Friday Night Lights (2004)	81%
	"A beautifully shot tracker�s western that brings the Fordian poles of garden and desert to bear on the bushrangers� Outback, this is also a revenge drama of substantial horror." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Proposition (2006)	86%
	"There are plentiful perilous countdowns, most of the set-pieces are impressively mounted and, in its own silly way, the pay-off offers a glancing blow at US foreign policy. Relatable? No. But quite fun." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	70%
	"Jack Clayton�s 1961 chiller lives up to the story�s title, incrementally tightening the nerves through suggestive technical artistry in a way that few contemporary ghost stories manage." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Innocents (1961)	95%
	"It�s clearly an intensely personal project for the director, who was 20 himself in �68 (and shooting the riot police in 35mm) and has also cast his father Maurice and the music of his partner Nico." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Regular Lovers (2005)	83%
	"Hitchcock shows superb technical control and attends to his trademark motifs, from monstrous mother figures to the fetishisation of clothing." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Rebecca (1940)	100%
	"An ultra-knowing exercise in genre deconstruction, and something of a charmer to boot." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	83%
	"The self-consciously mannered rat-a-tat-tat dialogue also mines a neat overlap between teen slang and noir patois, both of which can be indecipherable to non-initiates." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Brick (2006)	78%
	"A compulsive, cautionary tale about a man whose self-trumpeted �deep cesspool of creativity� seems destined to remain undredged." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Overnight (2004)	79%
	"Pound-of-flesh cinema, you might say." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Lady Vengeance (2005)	75%
	"...Offers plenty of sharp-eyed character humour and, crucially, develops each of its couples as credible relationships." -- Time Out Posted May 27, 2006	Confetti (2006)	58%
	"Fascinating as both nature documentary and as a portrait of a narcissistic monomaniac, utterly in keeping with Herzogian type." -- Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006	Grizzly Man (2005)	93%
	"As megastar Lauren, Seigner (who also sings) is a plausibly charismatic mix of ego and neurosis, while de Besco is outstanding as teenager Lucie." -- Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006	Backstage (2006)	70%
	"*New York may have changed, but Taxi Driver* is as powerful and painful as ever.*" -- Time Out* Posted Feb 9, 2006	Taxi Driver (1976)	100%
	"The script�s non-stop momentum suits the roller-coaster photography �- and the punchy running time brings things to a close before eye-strain sets in." -- Time Out Posted Jan 26, 2006	The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)	97%
