T-METER

1.5/5
 
" Loud and completely devoid of wit or interest, this empty-headed action movie looks terrific thanks to its big budget and heavily stylised visuals. But it's impossible to care about anything that happens." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Nov 14, 2008
 
Max Payne (2008)18%
/
4.5/5
 
" Pumped with energy and authenticity, this film recounts the tumultuous events in 1960s and 70s Germany with vivid detail and an involving cast of characters. It's breathtaking filmmaking, in every sense of the word." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Nov 14, 2008
 
The Baader-Meinhof Complex (2008)81%
/
3/5
 
" With World Trade Center and this film, it's clear that Oliver Stone has lost his provocative maverick sensibilities. This is a smartly assembled biopic with a powerhouse cast, but its toothless approach makes it feel a bit pointless." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Nov 7, 2008
 
W. (2008)57%
/
3/5
 
" There are several intriguing themes gurgling around this comical drama, but it's so rambling and loose that nothing really comes together. Even so, the solid acting keeps us interested, and the potent issues keep us thinking." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Nov 7, 2008
 
Let's Talk About The Rain (2008)77%
/
3.5/5
 
" Snappy and enjoyable, this British class comedy has enough spark to keep us entertained, even though the plot never quite shifts up to full speed. But a few terrific performances make it well worth seeing." -- Shadows on the Wall

Guerrilla (2008)67%
/
3/5
 
" But it maintains its connection with us through Williams' fiercely open-hearted portrayal of a woman losing her grip on her life. And this is just emotional and offbeat enough to make the film worth a look." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Incendiary (2008)26%
/
3.5/5
 
" Yes, it's extremely choppy and not terribly well-developed, with characters appearing and disappearing at random. But the fights are so impressive that we can't help but be thoroughly entertained." -- Shadows on the Wall

Chocolate (2008)69%
/
3.5/5
 
" Korean filmmaker Won uses a startlingly in-your-face style for this outrageous examination of bullying at all kinds of levels. Both unsettling and entertaining, it also finds real terror and black humour in the least likely places." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
A Bloody Aria (2006)46%
/
2.5/5
 
" Completely lacking a plot or actual characters, this colourful film is more like a musical revue about a sanitised, fantasy version of high school. It's lively and watchable, but painfully vacuous." -- Shadows on the Wall

The Good Night (2007)28%

3/5
 
" Essentially a Will Ferrell Lite movie, this toothless comedy has a likeable central performance from Rainn Wilson and several hilariously spiky side characters. But it never quite hits its comical stride." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
The Rocker (2008)39%

" Rather too hysterical to be coherent, but it's still jittery and thoroughly unnerving" -- Shadows on the Wall

3/5
 
" There's a sublimely goofy tone to this profoundly inept film that keeps us smiling from start to finish" -- Shadows on the Wall

The House Bunny (2008)40%
/
3/5
 
" This lively comedy feels like about half a movie, as the inventive Borat-like hilarity runs out of steam after about an hour" -- Shadows on the Wall

Bigga than Ben (2008)60%
/
3.5/5
 
" It's an engaging story with strong characters that keep our interest even with the slightly too-fantastical design and under-explained script." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 9, 2008
 
City of Ember (2008)48%
/
2.5/5
 
" A cheesy attempt to throw everything at the screen, this futuristic thriller would no doubt work much better as a videogame" -- Shadows on the Wall

" Makes up for its simplistic story with some demented humour" -- Shadows on the Wall

Igor (2008)32%

3.5/5
 
" A low-key comedy with a high-powered cast ... it's a bit too mannered, but it's also thoroughly hilarious" -- Shadows on the Wall

Burn After Reading (2008)78%

2.5/5
 
" This involving movie ultimately succumbs to a severe case of the weepies, as we know it must" -- Shadows on the Wall

Blindness (2008)42%

3.5/5
 
" Sometimes a bit hard to stomach, but has such vividly realistic characters and situations that it can't be ignored." -- Shadows on the Wall

Import/Export (2007)78%
/
4/5
 
" The characters are sharp and their dilemmas feel honest, even if we never get all the information we crave." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Good Dick (2008)47%
/
2/5
 
" Despite some astonishing visual sequences, a flimsy script and frankly awful character design ground this film before it can blast off." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Fly Me To The Moon (2008)17%
/
3.5/5
 
" One of the most beautiful things ever put on the big screen. On the other hand, the story is far too thin for adults, and far too dark for kids." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
The Fall (2008)59%
/
2.5/5
 
" This new version of the Evelyn Waugh tale of conflicts in class, sexuality and religion is more about the sumptuous imagery than the provocative subtext." -- Shadows on the Wall
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Brideshead Revisited (2008)64%
/
2.5/5
 
" The overwrought production, sieve-like plot and ludicrous characters merge into something genuinely hilarious. But that's clearly not what cast and crew were going for." -- Shadows on the Wall
