Be Kind Rewind (2008) |
|
"The director has attempted to construct quite a complex little film here, but only parts of this delicate concoction work effectively. The movie feels like a strange, lightweight piece of ephemeral fluff." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |

3/5 |
|
Cass (2008) |
|
"A mature take on this most contentious of issues, and quite possibly the best film on the subject in 20 years." | |

4.5/5 |

Cloverfield (2008) |
|
"Feels like one big, masterfully executed experiment in upping the ante in audience manipulation, and it works brilliantly." | |

5/5 |
|
The Dark Knight (2008) |
|
"The Dark Knight is so thrillingly-executed, primeval and exhilarating, it will forever sear itself into your consciousness. It might also be the most intelligent blockbuster movie ever made." | |

Doom (2005) |

"Someone Wants a Doom Sequel" | |

1/5 |
|
The Eye (2008) |
|
"It's all based on the creepy little Chinese film Gin gwai, an atmospheric spine-tingler that, we're sad to say, is considerably more frightening than this tame effort." | |

Friends - The Complete Seasons 1-9 (1994-2003) |
|
"Warners: "No Truth" to Friends Movie Rumors" | |

Hancock (2008) |
|
"Yet because it's Smith, you know that Hancock can't be all bad, and as the film spends the next hour trying to rehabilitate him, proceedings slowly starts to fall apart." | |

The Happening (2008) |
|
"Somewhere in The Happening there's a great movie struggling to break free. The concept is fantastic... but poor dialogue combined with even worse performances make for a disappointing and frustrating 90 minutes of film." | |
Chris Tilly | |
|

|
|
I'm A Cyborg (2006) |
|
"A confusing mess of a movie that lacks the marvellously sharp structure and cohesion of his previous efforts." | |
Chris Tilly | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) |
|
"Obviously heavily influenced by the likes of Swingers and Before Sunrise, it nevertheless manages to find its own voice, combining sentiment with cynicism to create a very modern romantic comedy." | |
Chris Tilly | |
|
|
|
| |
3/5 |
|
The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
|
"Marvel has managed to shape yet another fine piece of slick, if somewhat disposable action-entertainment. The Incredible Hulk is a less ambitious but more wholly realised and coherent vision of the character than previous versions." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |
|
|
|
| |
3/5 |
|
Iron Man (2008) |
|
"In place is a talented cast, an interesting director, an established lead character, and a wealth of plots from the comics ready to be mined for future storylines. Despite Iron Man's problems, it will definitely leave you wanting more." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |

Juno (2007) |
|
"Heart-warming, thought-provoking and beautifully played, it that tackles a serious subject with sensitivity and grace while providing more than a few laughs along the way." | |

The Love Guru (2008) |

Man on Wire (2008) |
|
"It's an incredible story, and in Man on Wire, Marsh has made a documentary that's worthy of his walk." | |

Never Back Down (2008) |

"A cliché-ridden guilty pleasure." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |

4/5 |
|
Persepolis (2007) |
|
"Persepolis makes this most difficult of subjects at once watchable, accesible, and ultimately unforgettable." | |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
|

Son of Rambow (2008) |
|
"You'd have to be a bigger cynic than Richard Dawkins not to have your cockles warmed by this gem." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |
|
|
|
| |
4/5 |
|
Speed Racer (2008) |
|
"The directors have been outrageously successful in creating one of the most trippy, visually astonishing mainstream movies ever made, and have even thrown in some good-old-fashioned story-telling and morality into this kaleidoscopic brew for good measure." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |
|
|
|
| |
3.5/5 |
|
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) |
|
"Deserves kudos for attempting to bring a cerebral and extremely violent story, told almost entirely in song, to the multiplex masses. It's just a shame that, ironically, there's little humanity beneath Sweeney Todd's sumptuous outer pastry." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |
|
|
|
| |
5/5 |
|
There Will Be Blood (2007) |
|
"A towering, tour-de-force display in cinematic virtuosity; and an incredibly ambitious, deliberate stab at greatness by the director. Only time will tell if he's pulled it off." | |
Orlando Parfitt | |
|
|
|
| |
3.5/5 |
|
WAZ (2007) |
|
"The most unusual and original horror film to be made on these isles in many a year." | |

1.5/5 |
|
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008) |
|
"The plot managed to anger, unintentionally amuse and then finally bore us to tears during the interminable 100 minute running time." | |
