Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Fresh 85%	Bright Star (2009)	" Like a bright star that shines from the heavens, Jane Campion's film about the doomed love between the poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne is exquisitely beautiful, but keeps us at arm's length." Posted Dec 18, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 84%	Broken Embraces (2009)	" With its themes of revenge, sexual obsession, love and jealousy, Pedro Almodóvar follows his own tried and true recipe for grand melodrama...characters spin complex webs. It's engaging and involving, although it is not Almodóvar's best work" Posted Dec 12, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 63%	The Brothers Bloom (2009)	" The first hour especially grabs our attention before disintegrating into a swirl of confusion. We expect the lines between reality and fantasy to become blurred, but we do need to have a stake in the characters or at least believe in their reality" Posted Nov 6, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 72%	The Boys Are Back (2009)	" It's about emotional chaos and who better to embody it than Clive Owen as the soulful widower trying to master being an everyday father. It feels like a work of love for Hicks, who injects serenity within the chaos as he conducts a mantle of melancholy" Posted Nov 5, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Blessed (2009)	" Ana Kokkinos has made an exquisitely and brutally powerful film about the indestructible but fragile thread that connects mothers and children." Posted Sep 2, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Bad Bush (2009)	" Genocchio ably shows us how to deliver an excellent genre film with a tiny budget." Posted Aug 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Beautiful Kate (2009)	" Bouquets to Rachel Ward whose adept and sensitive screenplay and direction make this adaptation an emotional journey that resonates acutely." Posted Jul 27, 2009
Rotten	Fresh 67%	Bruno (2009)	" I watched in superficial fascination, chuckled a couple of times, quickly became bored and found the 80 minute running time dragged like a one-note joke that outstays its welcome" Posted Jul 6, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 86%	The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009)	" The film highlights the ugliest side of human nature and as a result it is a sobering experience, reinforcing the futility of violence" Posted May 1, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 64%	The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)	" The power of this story and the way director Mark Herman tells it through the innocent eyes of an eight year old boy overcome all the hurdles with its child-like simplicity that clutches our hearts" Posted Apr 18, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 54%	The Boat That Rocked (2009)	" The result is a blast. It's a coming of age story with comic elements as well as a reflection of the mood of a generation that embraced the music as a part of their everyday lives." Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 47%	Bottle Shock (2008)	" . Like the chardonnay at the heart of the story, Bottle Shock is light with good body and plenty of flavour. It's also uplifting and amusing. In short, it makes you feel good." Posted Mar 20, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 60%	Believe In Me (2007)	" It may be formulaic, but has enough heart to be a winner,"" Posted Mar 14, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 41%	Blindness (2008)	" An irritating experience" Posted Mar 14, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 12%	Bride Wars (2009)	" While the premise is as flimsy as a brides' veil, Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway make this girls-only comedy about two girls, two weddings and a friendship in crisis, into a moderately enjoyable, if forgettable affair" Posted Jan 9, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 48%	Before the Rains (2008)	" The film certainly looks beautiful as it captures the lush beauty of its mountainous, green Indian landscape, but acclaimed cinematographer turned director Santosh Sivan is only partially successful when it comes to the storytelling" Posted Dec 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Bolt (2008)	" If you feel as though you need to borrow a child to buy a ticket for this cutest of cute films, go right ahead. You won't want to miss this adorable animated film about a dog who thinks he's a superhero" Posted Dec 19, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 25%	Bedtime Stories (2008)	" If you like Adam Sandler's loud and bawdy style (or lack of it), you will warm to this lively and undemanding fable that reminds us we are limited only by our imagination" Posted Dec 19, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Ballet Shoes (2008)	" There are plenty of pleasures in this involving and uplifting tale which the young protagonists aspire to be actors, aviators and ballerinas" Posted Dec 12, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 64%	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	" This revisiting of Evelyn Waugh's novel is successful in part in that it firmly envelops both its characters and us into a cloud of Catholic claustrophobia. But Julian Jarrold's film is so plodding and overlong, that by the time it reaches its resolution," Posted Oct 17, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 77%	Burn After Reading (2008)	" A dizzyingly enjoyable turn by the Coen Brothers that toys with espionage, adultery, blackmail and murder with a darkly comic edge, Burn Without Reading is a compelling combo of political thriller and sex farce." Posted Oct 9, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 51%	Body of Lies (2008)	" Lies and consequences form the heart of this bold, hard-hitting drama in which people are used as commodities, while Big Brother keeps a watchful eye -- both DiCaprio and Crowe inhabit their characters totally" Posted Oct 4, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 41%	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	" It's cute alright, with wild ideas, funny lines and a central premise that reinforces loyalty and being true to yourself. Beyond the obvious frivolity" Posted Sep 18, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 56%	Bitter & Twisted (2008)	" A film fuelled by emotions, this impressive debut by Christopher Weeks canvasses the heartfelt, tender, angry, frustrated and confused feelings of a family reeling by the impact of loss." Posted Sep 13, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 71%	Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis (2008)	" Thoroughly enjoyable and contagiously funny, this is solid French gold" Posted Aug 29, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 39%	Bonneville (2006)	" While the premise of this roadtrip come buddy movie may be based on loss, the journey we take is a vibrant one" Posted Aug 23, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Baby Mama (2008)	" There are plenty of laughs in this likeable and uplifting comedy that puts its own twist on life, love, relationships and babies." Posted Aug 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 79%	The Bank Job (2008)	" The best thing about this caper whose elements include a royal scandal, exotic locations, MI5 involvement, a brothel with a clientele from high places, corrupt cops, romance and a heist by a bunch of small-time crooks, is that it is based on fact." Posted Jul 25, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Black and White (2002)	" Unlike the title, life is far from black and white, and this satisfying journey offers us a menu of many of its shades of grey." Posted Oct 17, 2002
