4/5	" Unexpectedly entertaining, given that it�s about dodgy accounting on an epic scale, the film predicts an economic cold shower that is about to douse America�s prospects, thanks to its ever-expanding national debt." Posted Nov 14, 2008	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	92%
2/5	" Picturesque in a slightly exaggerated, highly coloured comic-book style, the film is a little undercooked in terms of character and unpersuasive in its narrative. It�s all quirks but no content of significance." Posted Nov 14, 2008	Fine, Totally Fine (2008)	56%
2/5	" There is a real problem with a film that, although thoroughly researched and directed with integrity, struggles to move the audience." Posted Nov 14, 2008	The Baader-Meinhof Complex (2008)	81%
	" The acting is more wooden than the numerous coffins, the plot a rehash of any crazed serial killer flick you care to mention, with extra torture. It�s unremittingly nasty stuff." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Scar ()	0%
1/5	" But worst of all is the incessant, unbearably smug soundtrack that drills its way into your brain like a parasite." Posted Nov 7, 2008	Easy Virtue (2009)	58%
3/5	" The original retains its power to chill, although in the age of the DVD and the download, the idea of a haunted video cassette seems positively archaic." Posted Oct 30, 2008	Ringu (1998)	97%
4/5	" Part-scrapbook, part- confessional, Davies�s odyssey through his past is garlanded with irreverent aphorisms. This is a film to be cherished." Posted Oct 30, 2008	Of Time and the City (2008)	83%
4/5	" Ultimately, the one thing that can�t be questioned is McQueen�s bold and unflinching talent." Posted Oct 30, 2008	Hunger (2008)	93%
1/5	" It�s slow, bloody and pretty much devoid of merit." Posted Oct 24, 2008	A Bloody Aria (2006)	46%
4/5	" Another symphony of exquisitely choreographed carnage." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Chocolate (2008)	69%
2/5	" The film�s premise is high-concept Hollywood at its creakiest." Posted Oct 24, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	84%
4/5	" As far as slickly produced and joyfully energetic escapism goes, High School Musical 3 is top of the class." Posted Oct 24, 2008	High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)	67%
4/5	" It�s remarkable that, given how deeply unsympathetic and self-obsessed her character is for much of the film, Hathaway manages to make her so likeable." Posted Oct 18, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	87%
2/5	" That might be because the film has already been shown on the BBC � a fact that, along with the unprepossessing production values, rather begs the question of why bother with a cinematic release at all?" Posted Oct 17, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
3/5	" You do feel that, with it�s knowing one-liners and classic movie references, Igor is trying terribly hard to amuse an adult audience, possibly at the expense of children it should be entertaining." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Igor (2008)	32%
2/5	" It�s an unpolished and slightly chaotic film that whisks the viewer breathlessly from salon to salon, without stopping to get to know any of the key characters in real depth." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Afro Saxons (2008)	56%
2/5	" There are occasionally amusing moments, but the writing lacks the warmth that made School of Rock such a hit." Posted Oct 17, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	39%
1/5	" As homespun as a crocheted teacosy; as folksy as an heirloom patchwork quilt and as manufactured as reproduction Shaker furniture � that�s Nights in Rodanthe." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Nights in Rodanthe (2008)	31%
1/5	" But a screenplay that sounds like it was hewn from chunks of wood is a great leveller, so everyone comes out looking equally inept." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Mutant Chronicles (2008)	20%
2/5	" There are a few effectively grisly moments, but no really new ideas." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	14%
1/5	" It�s a depressing, grubby-looking little film with an undercurrent of particularly mean-spirited misogyny. You wonder what Suzie Halewood, the director, was thinking." Posted Oct 10, 2008	Bigga than Ben (2008)	60%
3/5	" Seidl has a distinctive and disturbing vision, but he is not inclined to explore the humanity of his characters, just their status as victim or abuser." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Import/Export (2007)	78%
2/5	" No matter how superficially amusing the title or how appealing the animated characters (not very, to be honest), the fact remains that we are expected to empathise with flies. The animators even try to make maggots cute." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
3/5	" Design buffs will be fascinated, but the horror audience will find little of interest." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)	73%
1/5	" Interestingly, the more overblown and insincere a performance Pacino delivers in a film, the more self-important and bouffant his hair gets. Here, it�s so towering it takes up 90 per cent of the screen." Posted Oct 3, 2008	88 Minutes (2008)	5%
1/5	" It�s like a party political broadcast brought to you by the Idiot Party." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Swing Vote (2008)	36%
2/5	" Remarkably, given the extraordinary descents captured on film and despite the less than subtle stirring score, the film is ultimately lacking in any real excitement." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Steep (2007)	51%
3/5	" The directorial debut from the novelist Phillippe Claudel, this is a classy, emotionally intelligent portrait of two women rebuilding a relationship." Posted Sep 26, 2008	I've Loved You So Long (2008)	90%
2/5	" The comedy is of the kind that makes you wince rather than laugh; the camerawork is defiantly ugly and the performances are unpolished." Posted Sep 26, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	57%
4/5	" This is no revisionist western designed to shock life into an unfashionable genre, rather a film that respects the conventions of the traditional western." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	75%
2/5	" Much-loved but somewhat overrated." Posted Sep 26, 2008	Grease (1978)	82%
2/5	" It�s an interesting and provocative idea somewhat marred by wretched performances from several of the kids and the same whiff of sanctimony and naivety that made The Edukators, another tiresomely right-on film from Germany, such a trial." Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Wave (2008)	67%
4/5	" Ultimately, there is an optimism to the film, albeit one that is tempered by the poignancy of lives shadowed by S�o Paulo�s harsh indifference." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Linha de passe ()	75%
3/5	" Watching the Korean film The Chaser is like chewing diamonds � you know there�s something of value in there but mostly it�s just a mess of pain and blood." Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Chaser (2008)	83%
2/5	" The film, talky, tediously overlong and crammed with kitsch, postcard-pretty country scenery, gets exponentially weirder by the minute, culminating in a cross-dressing pseudo-lesbian clinch." Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Romance of Astrea and Celadon (2008)	64%
4/5	" It�s a terrific piece of direction from Korm�kur. Everything, from the look of the film, to the brilliantly unsettling use of food as a recurring motif, is judged perfectly." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Jar City (2008)	94%
2/5	" You mourn the wasted opportunities to explore a culture in which the ultimate rebellion is to copy America�s corporate rock." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Heavy Metal In Baghdad (2008)	81%
4/5	" David Lynch�s 1977 feature debut Eraserhead is one of those rare films that really deserves its cult status � a nightmarish, heavily symbolic story set in a postapocalyptic future." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Eraserhead (1976)	90%
3/5	" Wong�s elliptical, enigmatic storytelling is lent a real lyricism by the stunning photography. It�s visually rich, drawn in a colour palette that includes searing acid yellows and scorched ambers and reliant on reflected light and layered images." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Ashes of Time Redux (2008)	84%
3/5	" Two other documentaries are released this week at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. A Walk into the Sea, by Esther Robinson, is the better of the two." Posted Aug 15, 2008	A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)	77%
2/5	" The Cool School is a history of the LA art scene which will be most interesting for those who are involved in it." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Cool School: How L.A. Learned to Love Modern Art (2008)	91%
2/5	" It�s Mean Girls meets Malory Towers and as such it�s strictly for a tween girl audience." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Wild Child (2009)	32%
2/5	" Sugar-coated and naive, Little Box of Sweets is an Indian coming-of-age story that feels firmly mired in the colonial melodrama of the Merchant Ivory era." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Little Box of Sweets (2006)	50%
4/5	" Jimmy Carter Man from Plains is an affectionate and admiring portrait of a politician who, like Al Gore, became more idealistic and effective on the world stage once he left office." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	79%
2/5	" While the heavenly rays of the Almighty Himself could not have done a more exquisite job lighting the film, its beauty doesn�t compensate for the sparse, slow and unrewarding story." Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Banishment (2007)	56%
3/5	" This is adult story-telling, elegantly restrained and unmistakably classy, which casts a dispassionate eye on a man who loses heart at the same time as he loses his youth, potency and relevancy." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
2/5	" Houdini�s mission to debunk fake spiritualists is hijacked by this wholly fraudulent love story. There�s not a moment in the film that feels honest and uncontrived." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	44%
4/5	" A strikingly photographed documentary that unfolds into a story of human achievement and a study of the East-West culture clash." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	98%
3/5	" It�s no masterpiece, but for good-natured escapism, the latest Mummy adventure gives Indiana a run for his money." Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	14%
2/5	" The X-Files isn�t eye-bleedingly terrible. It�s just not very good; it�s an average episode of the TV series stretched to feature length." Posted Aug 1, 2008	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	32%
