2/5	" This is the most soppy and unsexy 18-certificate skin-flick ever made." -- Times [UK] Posted Nov 14, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	64%
	" The blistering sexual repression is the entire point of the 1950s. Quite simply, fabulous." -- Times [UK] Posted Nov 14, 2008	A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)	98%
3/5	" Mark Wahlberg�s titular hero hasn�t cracked a smile in seven years. The surprise is that he makes the lonely cop seem half human with half a dozen words and a staggering amount of violence." -- Times [UK] Posted Nov 14, 2008	Max Payne (2008)	18%
3/5	" The creepy and original power of the film is the schizophrenic other who taunts him when he finally crawls home to his maggoty bedsit. Weird." -- Times [UK] Posted Nov 14, 2008	Choking Man (2007)	45%
4/5	" Bond is no longer a work in progress. He is now the cruel, finished article." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 22, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	66%
4/5	" Ron Howard turns this contest between Michael Sheen's playboy and Frank Langella’s marvellous old creep into one of the most compelling cinema waltzes I've yet seen." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008	Frost/Nixon (2008)	91%
3/5	" Despite its many shortcomings and an ending so mushy and neat it would embarrass Richard Curtis, Madonna has done herself proud." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	27%
2/5	Click here to read article -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008	Blindness (2008)	42%
3/5	" The viral atmosphere of intimidation is alarming, and thick with resonant premonitions of a legion of dystopian urban tomorrows." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	La Zona (2007)	78%
1/5	" Deeply unhinged, deeply awful." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	Free Jimmy (2006)	10%
1/5	" don�t have the willpower, words, or energy to explain why a psychopathic CIA computer suddenly decides to take over the world. But that�s the plot in a nutcase." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	Eagle Eye (2008)	27%
4/5	" Indeed, the spies and thrills don�t add up at all. The plot is a total mistake. The characters are madly absurd. The film shouldn�t work, but it does." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	78%
3/5	" But there is a lunatic sense of adventure about Fred Wolf�s saucy comedy, and it smothers all sorts of unforgiveable sins." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
2/5	" The slow-motion footage of these athletes showing off their macho skills is generously underpinned by rumbling hip-hop. Great nightclub wallpaper." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	74%
5/5	" Great films change the way we think about cinema. A masterpiece can alter our perception of life. Matteo Garrone�s startling film, Gomorrah, about the criminal underworld in Naples, is one of these rare movies." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	Gomorrah (2009)	100%
2/5	" The story is too sour for young children, and too moth-eaten for teenagers." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	48%
3/5	" The film has none of the self-lacerating pain of Young�s book, but as an exercise in humiliation it is second to none." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	37%
3/5	" It�s a shade too earnest for comfort, but there�s a tribal exhilaration about the band�s brave and tuneless journey from a grubby pub to their first festival." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Heavy Load (2008)	100%
2/5	" The film wears its arthouse aspirations all over the shelves. But the romance between Jason Ritter�s shy Romeo and Palka�s sullen loner is a morbidly peculiar stretch." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Good Dick (2008)	47%
3/5	" The visuals that illustrate the fairytale fantasy are extraordinary. But the film has none of the menacing brilliance of Pan�s Labyrinth. The result is a triumph of style over talent." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	The Fall (2008)	59%
2/5	" The repressed victims are beautifully framed by Jarrold. The acting is faultless. But there is no reason why we should be revisiting Brideshead. The melodrama is so damp and overwrought it�s hard to care about these old ghosts." -- Times [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	64%
3/5	" If Neeson wasn�t in such a dreadful hurry we might even enjoy the mindless cruelty." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Taken (2009)	50%
2/5	" The discipline is remarkable. But this constipated drama, set in a blue-collar corner of Los Angeles, imparts none of the sweat-shop magic." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	69%
1/5	" This sci-fi fantasy about crazy Mad Max races in a high security prison is 8,000 horsepower of pure auto-erotic carnage." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Death Race (2008)	42%
3/5	" Apart from a thoroughly irritating background track of schmaltzy classical music, this is Sokurov at his shortest and most digestible." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Alexandra (2008)	94%
2/5	" The plot is irrelevant because the film is utterly infatuated with the two big egos." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 26, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	22%
4/5	" The more relaxed the chemistry, the more taboo and tense the film becomes. It�s a marvellous piece of cinema that looks as if it is being crafted before your eyes." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Unrelated (2008)	85%
3/5	" This is cheap rum. The Apocalypse Now pyrotechnics clearly cost a fortune. But the pleasures of Tropic Thunder are spread as thinly as Ben Stiller. He not only stars, he directs, co-writes, produces, and undoubtedly made the tea." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
2/5	" The tut-tuttingly dull script refuses to supply a single happy line until Hunt squares up to the sudden arrival of Bette Midler." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	51%
3/5	" Bill Guttentag�s film is one of those shrill and cheery conspiracies on the wilder side of probability. But the black comedy has an infectious pace, and screwy logic." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Live! (2007)	43%
2/5	" It�s a polished piece of whimsy. Creepy too in the way it promotes a homogenised picture of the future." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008)	87%
2/5	" The problem about being hopelessly stoned is that you also become hopelessly boring. So it is here." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
3/5	" It�s the taboo and tender romance between Mistry and Kreuk that will shift the serious tickets." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Partition (2007)	40%
3/5	" It�s a claustrophobic marvel, and an impressive debut by Watkins." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Eden Lake (2008)	82%
4/5	" Despite moments of improbable whimsy, this is a hugely affecting film. Important, too. It engages with the complexity of the Holocaust in a language that can move children as profoundly as adults." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)	64%
1/5	" A costly and bemusing disaster. Dull is too kind a word." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 11, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
3/5	" Minnesota between the wars is a bone yard for dreams, yet, like Babette�s Feast, the film plucks a tiny miracle from stony ground." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	Sweet Land (2006)	84%
2/5	" Ritchie has crammed RocknRolla with innumerable homoerotic lads�-mag jokes. He has probably calculated that if the film fails on the high street, he could feasibly relaunch it as late-night gay cabaret." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%
3/5	" The Pang brothers take full advantage of their Hollywood budget to paint Bangkok skyscrapers in shimmering midnight blues." -- Times [UK] Posted Sep 4, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	10%
1/5	" The usual stupidness ensues. �Stay here darling with the axe-wielding psychos while I go and get help,� says Speedman. Ugh." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	44%
2/5	" Digestible if you can stomach the crude nostalgia. A disaster if you expect art and crafts." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	54%
1/5	" The pop star Anna Tsuchiya is duly fetching as the young upstart, but not fetching enough to prop up a cast-iron potboiler." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Sakuran (2006)	70%
5/5	" Terrence Malick�s thriller Badlands (1973), is rightly revered as one of the most astonishing debuts in cinema. Its reissue is a wonderful chance to discover why." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Badlands (1973)	100%
3/5	" It�s utter codswallop, yet enjoyable if you unplug your brain." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
2/5	" There isn�t an ounce of real life between here and Somers Town." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	12%
3/5	" For all the sly humour, though, Somers Town is a hollow pleasure. It aspires to the new wave of London immigration thrillers by Stephen Frears and Anthony Minghella. But it�s not cruel enough." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Somers Town (2008)	88%
2/5	" From this distance it looks like a rejected chapter from the Naked Gun franchise, and infinitely more wooden." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
2/5	" Drugs and Aids have wiped most of these memories away. But the film is at a loss what to do about it." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Face Addict (2008)	30%
3/5	" You Don�t Mess With the Zohan is a rude and routine Adam Sandler farce with some exceedingly sharp lines." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)	34%
1/5	" The latest instalment of George Lucas�s interminable franchise, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, has the charm of a cash machine. This noisy animated feature is set in a galaxy that isn�t far away enough." -- Times [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
