| G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) | "
In spite of many misgivings, including ropey CGI, convoluted storytelling and a smattering of horribly over-the-top performances, G.I. Joe is a blast from start-to-finish." — IGN Movies UK Posted Aug 4, 2009 |

| Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) | "
It doesn't reach the magical heights of Alfonso Cuaron's truly spellbinding Prisoner of Azkaban, but Yates is fast approaching that territory, which bodes well for his helming of the final instalments." — IGN Movies UK Posted Jul 10, 2009 |

| Bruno (2009) | "
May be the funniest film of the year thus far, but it doesn't come close to reaching the comedic heights of his previous effort, Borat." — IGN Movies UK Posted Jul 7, 2009 |

| Inglourious Basterds (2009) | "
An entertaining yet uneven movie that provides comedy, drama and some interesting psychological twists and turns, but never quite delivers on that 'men on a mission' promise." — IGN Movies UK Posted May 20, 2009 |

| Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation (1989) | "
Given that copyright wrangles mean it may never get released, Adaptation is a covetable, Indy-worthy treasure in its own right." — IGN Movies UK Posted May 13, 2009 |

| Up (2009) | "
A near perfect feature, a thrilling combination of humour, pathos, action and drama. Utterly original, endlessly inventive, and brilliantly crafted to appeal to old and young alike, it may well be Pixar's finest feature yet." — IGN Movies UK Posted May 13, 2009 |

| Outlander (2009) | "
An excellent creature feature. A B movie in the best sense of the word, Outlander could teach many of the so-called summer blockbusters a thing or two about character, story and performance." — IGN Movies UK Posted Apr 24, 2009 |

| Crank High Voltage (2009) | "
The Stath is pretty much the most bankable name in action movies today, and his unhinged work in High Voltage, indulging in an explosion of murder and mayhem with gusto and glee, should certainly see him retain that title." — IGN Movies UK Posted Apr 17, 2009 |

| Drag Me To Hell (2009) | "
It's a visceral assault on the senses and will have you gasping for breath as the laughs and scares mount. Raimi directs with the confidence and flair of a genre master." — IGN Movies UK Posted Mar 28, 2009 |

| The Damned United (2009) | "
An incredibly entertaining 95 minutes spent in the company of one of the game's most interesting characters, and a testament to the way in which friendship can save us in our darkest hour." — IGN Movies UK Posted Mar 28, 2009 |

| Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009) | "
A truly uplifting 80 minutes of film, you owe it to yourselves to check out The Story of Anvil, and you then owe it to the band to buy their albums and help put them back where they belong - at the summit of mount metal." — IGN Movies UK Posted Feb 19, 2009 |

| Tropic Thunder (2008) | "
The first hour of the film has an energy and wit that makes it a joy to behold, but as Stiller tries to tie it all together into a cohesive hole, the humour drains from the piece, and it all becomes a little tiresome." — IGN Movies UK Posted Sep 19, 2008 |

| Heavy Metal In Baghdad (2008) | "
Heavy Metal in Baghdad is one of those sneaky documentaries that starts out a light-hearted look at a semi-serious subject, and then suddenly turns into something far more moving and profound." — IGN Movies UK Posted Sep 12, 2008 |

| RocknRolla (2008) | "
He's hardly re-inventing the wheel with this movie, but RocknRolla is nonetheless a comedy thriller that is every bit as accomplished as his early work, and without doubt an witty, adrenalin-fuelled blast from start to finish." — IGN Movies UK Posted Sep 5, 2008 |

| In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) | "
Obviously heavily influenced by the likes of Swingers and Before Sunrise, it nevertheless manages to find its own voice, combining sentiment with cynicism to create a very modern romantic comedy." — IGN Movies UK Posted Jun 12, 2008 |
