" God bless Anna Faris, who’s so good that the second star at the bottom of this review is entirely down to her. Otherwise, this Bunny would be headed for the vet." -- Empire Magazine

4/5
 
" Not vintage Mamet - the dialogue isn’t up to quotable snuff - but it still packs a decent punch thanks to Ejiofor’s solid performance." -- Empire Magazine

3/5
 
" It’s nothing more than an enjoyable, ridiculously macho B-movie romp, but it’s Anderson’s best movie since the underrated Event Horizon. Perhaps, at long last, he’s starting to find his - yep - top gear." -- Empire Magazine

" Righteous Kill is a rote and lumbering thriller that forgets to supply any thrills, and which hangs on the revelation of a twist so obvious that tension dissipates long before the so-called big reveal." -- Empire Magazine

" It’s no Anchorman, but it’s several steps in the right direction." -- Empire Magazine

" This is the finest DreamWorks Animation effort since the first Shrek" -- Empire Magazine

" Despite a good premise, this is oddly uninvoling -- culminating in a real disappointment." -- Empire Magazine

The Bank Job (2008)78%

" An early but strong contender for worst movie of 2008." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)14%

4/5
 
" Extremely enjoyable. Although it’s a little tonally unsure, whenever Hanks and Hoffman are on screen, any misgivings are forgiven." -- Empire Magazine

Sunshine (2007)76%

" A decent Western, attractive mainly because of the acting duel between the straight-shooting Bale and the untamed Crowe." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 11, 2007
 
3:10 to Yuma (2007)88%
/
5/5
 
" Regardless of how silly you think it all is, this will have you scared witless by the time the end credits roll; low budget horror hog heaven." -- Empire Magazine

Halloween (1978)91%
/
4/5
 
" You can beat the house and you can break the bank, but sequels always get long odds on defeating the law of diminishing returns -- yet Ocean’s Thirteen just about pulls it off." -- Empire Magazine

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%

" Still smart, still exciting and still action-packed. It’s just a shame to note that, after promising greatness, all Spider-Man 3 delivers is satisfaction." -- Empire Magazine

Highlander (1986)66%

" An admirably unsentimental biopic with an excellent central performance, but it doesn’t impact as strongly as it could." -- Empire Magazine

4/5
 
" Marred slightly by an unsatisfactory climax, this is a cracking cop drama anchored by great performances and intelligent direction from Fuqua." -- Empire Magazine

2/5
 
" The performances are so wooden that things improve when Eric frickin’ Roberts turns up with a bad wig." -- Empire Magazine

/
2/5
 
" For Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters continues to cast one hell of a shadow. Shame — if he’d managed to resist the lure of big, shiny FX, this could have worked as a very black comedy..." -- Empire Magazine

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)40%

5/5
 
" The comedy is never indulged at the expense of the plot, which flies off in genuinely unexpected directions, culminating in a boundlessly inventive funfair chase sequence." -- Empire Magazine

3/5
 
" Unlike the original, this Mini adventure lacks a single defining moment. But, as Michael Caine remakes go, it's way better than Get Carter." -- Empire Magazine
