3/5
 
" Levinson keeps the pace sharp, and at moments you get an acute sense of the crushing weight of ego and money."
Posted Nov 28, 2008
 
What Just Happened (2008)53%
/
3/5
 
" It feels like a Central Asian remake of some American indie thriller, except that few American films would be prepared to take things so slowly, or with so few words."
Posted Nov 28, 2008
 
To Get To Heaven First You Have To Die (2006)64%
/
3/5
 
" Unclassifiable, accomplished and mysteriously enjoyable."
Posted Nov 28, 2008

2/5
 
" If only the plot was as sleek."
Posted Nov 28, 2008
 
Flawless (2007)55%
/
1/5
 
" The story, about a Mexican boy's overheated crush on an American student, is indescribably banal and amateurishly acted."
Posted Nov 28, 2008
 
Año Uña (2008)73%
/
2/5
 
" A fabulous cast is thrown away on forced gags; still, by the genre's standards the message is interestingly complex and ambivalent – pro-family, naturally, but with such qualifications that you almost feel it's sincere."
Posted Nov 28, 2008
 
Four Christmases (2008)26%
/
 
" There are so many hints of a really good film lurking here that at times it feels as if the real article has been stolen away, an inferior knock-off put in its place. Heck, I'll settle for the one I've got."
Posted Nov 28, 2008
 
Changeling (2008)59%
/
3/5
 
" But on balance, they're outweighed by some striking and funny moments, and Moretti's immensely charming, reassuring presence."
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Quiet Chaos (2008)85%
/
1/5
 
" After that, cliché piles upon cliché, interspersed with moments of wild unreality and some ill-thought out conspiracy theory. It makes you feel embarrassed for everyone involved."
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Incendiary (2008)26%
/
3/5
 
" A warm, clever and often very funny film. On this showing, Gervais's assault on Hollywood looks winnable."
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Ghost Town (2008)84%
/
2/5
 
" The slightly slushy plot is really an excuse to catch your breath between the action sequences, which are fast, loud and crammed with references that only Bruce Lee fans will properly appreciate."
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Chocolate (2008)71%
/
2/5
 
" I suspect it falls between two stools: not nearly grisly enough for the aficionado of extreme Asian cinema, rather too grisly for everyone else."
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
A Bloody Aria (2006)46%
/
1/5
 
" Next to this, Dawson's Creek and Gossip Girl look like Ken Loach."
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)67%
/
1/5
 
" The Tim Burtonish retro design and the blatant references to silent masterworks don't amount to a style; and even if they did, wouldn't make up for the kitsch story."
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
The Aerial (2007)60%
/
1/5
 
" A sombre, intelligent, feeling crime drama set in a working-class New York characterised by striving and shabbiness."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
We Own The Night (2007)55%
/
 
" Better to prepare your children for the world with a DVD of Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)36%
/
3/5
 
" The animated sequences are disappointingly flat, the real-life parts underwritten, but Amy Adams works hard and keeps a straight face in the lead, and the time passes amiably enough."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Enchanted (2007)93%
/
4/5
 
" Very little happens, and it has the look of a TV movie; yet the pace never seems to let up, the screen never seems empty, and its grip on your attention doesn't falter."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Comedy of Power (2005)80%
/
1/5
 
" Clichéd and contrived."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Chromophobia (2005)31%
/
2/5
 
" Stylish, but that doesn't really make up for the drifting plot, or the lack of insight and conviction."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Les Chansons d'Amour (2007)38%
/
2/5
 
" Given the amount of talent involved – Renée Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, Rip Torn, and Seinfeld himself – it all feels like a terrible waste."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Bee Movie (2007)52%
/
 
" Carolyn Keene's straitlaced teen detective gets a modern, ironic makeover, but the irony wobbles and the jokes aren't strong enough to carry it."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Nancy Drew (2007)49%
/
 
" Tosh, but disarmingly sincere."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Last Legion (2007)17%
/
 
" The comedy always feels enriching rather than demeaning."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Blame it on Fidel (2006)93%
/
 
" By Americanising the hero and grotesquely distorting the plot, they can only alienate the fan-base and confuse the newcomer."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
The Seeker (2007)13%
/
 
" An unnecessary and unlovable sequel to the Eddie Murphy vehicle Daddy Day Care, though this time the producers have traded down to Cuba Gooding Jr. Not recommended."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Daddy Day Camp (2007)1%

" Rendition is a well-intentioned film, and an enjoyable one, but, in the end, that's not quite the same as a good one."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)48%
/
3/5
 
" If Yates and Goldenberg haven't given the story shape, they have given it pace – something missing from the bloated and (to my disenchanted eyes) dreary book: even if the moments don't always connect, few of them are dull."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)77%
/
2/5
 
" Light touches are counterbalanced by some heavy-footed acting and a streak of leaden literal-mindedness."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Macbeth (2007)46%
/
2/5
 
" It breaks taboos with an insouciance that makes Last Tango look like Mary Poppins."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Taxidermia (2006)81%
/
2/5
 
" It's impossible to avoid comparison with Shakespeare in Love, which similarly made out that many of the great man's plays were really disguised autobiography; but the earlier film had a lightness of touch and variety of tone missing from this one."

DOA: Dead or Alive (2007)35%
/
3/5
 
" You should find this watchable and moderately clever; it's just a shame that it tries to sound weighty about truth and love, instead of getting on with being scary."
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
The Night Listener (2006)41%

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)73%
/
2/5
 
" Almost every decision that was taken here seems to have been the wrong one, from the casting of the callow, pleasant-looking Josh Hartnett as the sexually repressed cop hero, to the mellow sepia tones overlaying night-time Los Angeles."
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
The Black Dahlia (2006)34%

" A slight, pretentious Danish sci-fi romance, notable mainly for the former supermodel Helena Christensen's acting debut."
