	" It's the kind of premise that a writer will lovingly nurture and probe, but it fails the truth test. As a love story it's unsatisfactory and as a redemption story it's slightly ridiculous" Posted Dec 22, 2008	Seven Pounds (2008)	28%
	" Instead of the 1950s mindset %u2013 postwar, cold war, fear of aliens %u2013 it's been resettled into the mindset of today %u2013 man's inhumanity to the planet...It was a great little B movie then, and it's an ugly big B movie now" Posted Dec 21, 2008	The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)	19%
	" We've probably all wondered what we'd do if given a few short months to live and the premise of The Guitar takes one self indulgent option" Posted Dec 20, 2008	The Guitar (2008)	33%
	" Witless, lowbrow fun is the signature of this so-so comedy with Larry the Cable Guy in fine fat form as a country bumpkin deputy sheriff with delusions of grander than smalltown cop" Posted Dec 20, 2008	Witless Protection (2008)	0%
	" Laboured and disjointed, the film has none of the charm of a Ratatouille or a Shrek, but seems derivative of them." Posted Dec 19, 2008	The Tale of Despereaux (2008)	54%
	" With one chase, one aborted fight and one small fight on a boat in the first 55 minutes, Black Eagle isn't exactly an action movie" Posted Dec 12, 2008	Black Eagle (1988)	n/a
	" If you leave all your grown up sensibilities at the door and fill up on popcorn while watching Big Stan, preferably in a crowd of your like-minded mates, you'll probably have a roaring good time." Posted Nov 20, 2008	Big Stan ()	17%
	" We're being manipulated, and the irony is that the filmmaker is trying to prove how manipulated we are by the various interests around the Iraq war" Posted Nov 14, 2008	Redacted (2007)	42%
	" A stilted and inelegant work, well below par for Francis Ford Coppola" Posted Nov 14, 2008	Youth Without Youth (2007)	30%
	" Does not live up to expectations, losing the sense of all the unique Bond elements, including James himself, who no longer tosses off darkly comic lines and doesn't even know what martini he's drinking. Daniel Craig is still excellent but he's no longer a" Posted Nov 14, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	65%
	" Penis gags, poo and bum-driven gags, masturbation embarrassments and the consistent use of crude expletives are not nearly as hilarious when over-used as the filmmakers seem to think" Posted Nov 8, 2008	Sex Drive (2008)	40%
	" It's questionable who suffers more in this torture porn sequel - the victims or the audience. But glib lines aside, there is no point in continuing the franchise unless the filmmakers can up the ante in the gruesome/anguish/torture stakes" Posted Oct 22, 2008	Saw V (2008)	15%
	" The rough and ready filmmaking technique makes it challenging for the viewer at times, and perhaps a stricter editing discipline could have tightened the film" Posted Oct 18, 2008	Billy The Kid (2007)	85%
	" The three central characters are an acquired taste, probably by the same fanclub that digs loser/doper comedies like Dumb and Dumber or the terrible Aussie equivalent, You and Your Stupid Mate" Posted Oct 10, 2008	Trailer Park Boys - The Movie (2008)	55%
	" I never trust a film in which the protagonists have conversations or even arguments in the pouring rain -- without umbrellas." Posted Oct 9, 2008	Max Payne (2008)	18%
	" An exploration of the heightened, extreme emotional sensations of adolescence, The Tracey Fragments is demanding and relentless, an image overload in search of resolution." Posted Oct 4, 2008	The Tracey Fragments (2008)	39%
	" As a story, Jasira's deflowering and surrounding socialisation issues perhaps make for top reading, but as the film turns a mental image into concrete visuals, it requires much greater finesse to make it cinema" Posted Oct 4, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	47%
	" It's presented as a thriller, and it is, but Eagle Eye is also a political film. It's not a very good political film, nor is it a very good thriller, ironically enough because it wants to be very good at both." Posted Sep 18, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
	" An actors' showcase and a hefty serving of director Michael Haneke's self indulgence" Posted Sep 7, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%
	" The often silly elements of the plot dilute the majesty of the Chinese culture which it traverses, and the childish nature of the magical elements dilute the film's appeal outside a narrow target audience of undemanding kids" Posted Sep 7, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	14%
	" I was not so engaged as to be moved . . . and felt impatient at the lack of dramatic pace" Posted Aug 29, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	74%
	" On the one hand, Tropic Thunder is a giant enema up Hollywood's butt, and on the other it's a bare bum joke which outlasts its welcome" Posted Aug 14, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
	" The animation seems to have been outsourced to two factories: one for the galactic battles, the other for the Jedi .. The latter seem clunky and simplistic, much like the film's screenplay.. Take the kids, buy the popcorn, feed .. er feel the force" Posted Aug 14, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	18%
