Fresh 3/5	Rotten 47%	Dorian Gray (2010)	" An ambitious if decidedly uneven interpretation of the last great Gothic horror novel." — Empire Magazine Posted Sep 11, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 49%	Twilight (2008)	" A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box office artery." — Empire Magazine Posted Dec 19, 2008
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	" An unflinching documentary that exposes one of the darkest chapters in American history." — Empire Magazine Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	Man On Wire (2008)	" Recounting the simple story of a complicated character, this scales giddy emotional heights, revealing a portrait of a man teetering on the brink, in more ways than one..." — Empire Magazine Posted Jul 31, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 87%	Mongol (2008)	" With its breathtaking landscapes, bloody battles, bitter betrayals and an aching love story, Mongol is a sumptuously crafted epic" — Empire Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 41%	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	" A rather titillating take on a racy historical novel, this is perhaps too ambitious in intent. More time, or more pruning (perhaps they should just have focused on The Boleyn girl), would have produced a richer and more enjoyable film." — Empire Magazine Australasia Posted Mar 20, 2008

Fresh 4/5	Fresh 94%	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	" A highly engaging documentary that recounts a remarkable tale." — Empire Magazine Posted Dec 14, 2007
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 98%	The Band's Visit (2007)	" A heartfelt, wry and decidedly spry film." — Empire Magazine Posted Nov 8, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 13%	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	" With ribald and stale jokes at odds with the slender social message, this wedding piece crashes and burns amid its own hypocrisy." — Empire Magazine Posted Sep 21, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	In the Hands of the Gods (2007)	" More than a film about kicky-uppies, this is a blinding doc full of flair and showmanship." — Empire Magazine Posted Sep 11, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Hairspray (2007)	" An uplifting singalong that gels the old-style MGM musical with kitsch bubblegum pop." — thelondonpaper Posted Jul 20, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Hairspray (2007)	" Offering plenty of body and a lot of lift, Hairspray gels kitsch styling with show-stopping tunes to mould a memorable musical." — Empire Magazine Posted Jul 20, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Hairspray (2007)	" *Offering plenty of body and a lot of lift, Hairspray* gels kitsch styling with show-stopping tunes to mould a memorable musical.*" — Empire Magazine* Posted Jul 16, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 37%	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	" In the universe of dark and gloomy superheroes, this foursome are still dipping into the lighter side of fantastic." — thelondonpaper Posted Jun 15, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 39%	The Caiman (2006)	" The political satire in this bitty drama can be lost on those residing outside of Italy." — Empire Magazine Posted Apr 6, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 60%	300 (2007)	" Visually stunning, thoroughly belligerent and as shallow as a pygmy�s paddling pool, this is a whole heap of style tinged with just a smidgen of substance." — Empire Magazine Posted Mar 23, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 30%	Running with Scissors (2006)	" Well-acted by the superb ensemble cast but there just isn't a likeable character amongst them to care about." — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 29, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Infamous (2006)	" While less beguiling than Capote, Infamous remains a soulful and searching portrayal of the writer, carried with immense charm and vivacity by its leading man." — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 4, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 81%	Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006)	" An engrossing account of American soccer�s strangest episode -- and you don�t even have to like footie to enjoy it." — Empire Magazine Posted May 20, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 33%	Tristan & Isolde (2006)	" By removing the sorcery and operatic excess so synonymous with the story, the filmmakers conjure an affecting, pretty melodrama... with the emphasis more on mellow than drama." — Empire Magazine Posted May 6, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 90%	Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005)	" A documentary that preaches to the converted if ever there was one, but Dunn's enthusiasm for the subject and the range of pretension and humour of his interviewees makes for fun viewing." — Empire Magazine Posted May 6, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Cold Mountain (2003)	" Grim in places, and at times gratuitous, this is still terrific five-hanky drama with top-flight technical work, horrifically spectacular action, subtle introspection, rich characters and a love story to die for." — Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 87%	Hidden Blade (2006)	" A subtle and emotive period drama that mirrors its highly praised predecessor." — Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 69%	The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)	" A film for kids, students, stoners, anyone who enjoys a break from reality." — Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 65%	The Last Samurai (2003)	" *As brisk as it is rich, The Last Samurai* is much more fun than a mere history lesson.*" — Empire Magazine* Posted Apr 1, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 30%	The Alamo (2004)	" In spite of two great performances, this is a muddled affair." — Empire Magazine Posted Sep 4, 2004
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 55%	Troy (2004)	" *Bruising battles and some stirring performances make Troy* enjoyable, if rather long.*" — Empire Magazine* Posted May 14, 2004
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 91%	The Sting (1973)	" Magnificent, timeless stuff." — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000
