4/4
 
" With the wedding ruined and the future of the world at stake, it’s showtime. Suddenly, Tim Story goes CGI crazy delivering scene after scene of edge-of-your-seat action that will make your eyeballs bleed."
Posted Jul 9, 2007
 
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)35%
/
2.5/4
 
" Unfortunately, a few flashes of brilliance don’t stop this being a disappointing follow-up to the brilliant first two films. don’t let that stop you from taking your kids to see it so they can make up their own minds."

Shrek the Third (2007)42%
/
4/4
 
" It’s stirring stuff from start to finish which will make our friends from north of the border proud to be Scottish. Go See."

The Flying Scotsman (2007)50%
/
2/4
 
" Cue the blood-gushing finale, which has a few surprises up its sleeve. I wasn’t a fan of the original and, despite Hostel: Part II’s slicker look, I’m still not."
Posted Jun 29, 2007
 
Hostel: Part II (2007)45%
/
3/4
 
" It’s an eye-opening insight into pre-Virgin Atlantic travel, beautifully acted by its mainly Italian cast and guaranteed to make you count your blessings."

Golden Door (2007)70%
/
1/4
 
" With only hunky Daniel Gillies on hand to offer help and essential hair products, the question is can her career survive such a lame script? In a word, no."
Posted Jun 22, 2007
 
Captivity (2007)7%
/
2.5/4
 
" As Kenny Rogers once said: “It’s all about knowing when to hold ’em and knowing when to fold ’em”. In poker terms this over-long flop is a busted flush."

Lucky You (2007)28%

4/4

Tell No One (2008)92%
/
2.5/4
 
" Terrific turns by all make this a tense, if slightly predictable, treat for terror fans."

Vacancy (2007)55%

2.5/4
 
" KOREAN cinema’s answer to Quentin Tarantino, Ryoo Seung Wan lives up to his all-action reputation with this bone-crunching, chop-socky revenge thriller."
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
The City of Violence (2006)100%
/
2/4
 
" Sadly, despite Bell’s eye-catching performance and Glenn Close’s disturbing Stepford Wife portrayal, I found this messy movie as self-absorbed as most of its characters."

3.5/4
 
" Funny, finely-tuned and flashier than an Essex boy on a night out in Romford . . . GO SEE!"

Alpha Dog (2007)55%

4/4
 
" Brilliantly mixes eye-popping effects and edge-of-your-seat action to make this sci-fi scorcher the hottest ticket around."

" It’s Sienna Miller’s star that shines brightest in this heartbreaking cautionary tale."

Factory Girl (2007)19%

3.5/4
 
" Strong language and bone-crunching tear-ups won’t appeal to the faint-hearted — but for fans of in-your-face action, this is the business."
Posted Mar 11, 2007
 
Outlaw (2007)22%
/
3/4
 
" On paper this had “belter” written all over it. Sadly, Damon’s lifeless performance in the lead role failed to keep me gripped throughout the movie’s bum-numbing 167 minutes."
Posted Feb 23, 2007
 
The Good Shepherd (2006)56%

" It’s Clint’s assured camerawork combined with top-notch acting turns and blood-thirsty battle scenes that make this a stunning slice of cinema not to be missed."

School for Scoundrels (2006)25%

" This will undoubtedly appeal to fans of a conspiracy theory, but thrillseekers will be left feeling short-changed."
Posted Feb 23, 2007
 
The Number 23 (2007)8%
/
2.5/4
 
" There’s a very thin line between amusingly quirky and just plain pretentious. I’d say this falls somewhere in the middle."

3.5/5
 
" To a man, the movie’s impressive young Russian cast cover themselves in glory with some truly top-notch turns."

The 9th Company (2005)79%
/
1.5/4
 
" If there’s a worse screenplay in 2007 than this offering from Karen Leigh Hopkins and Jessie Nelson, it’ll be written in crayon."
Posted Feb 16, 2007
 
Because I Said So (2007)5%
/
4/5

" The film plays more like an episode of The Love Boat than hard-hitting cinema."
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
Bobby (2006)45%
/
2.5/4
 
" If Kubrick’s 2001 got your juices flowing with its stunning, unexplained other-worldliness, this is a movie you could be mad for. Or it might be just a load of old tosh."
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
The Fountain (2006)51%

" It’s DiCaprio’s Oscar-nominated turn that steals the show."

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)66%
/
3/4
 
" It’s a Lock, Stock-style story of back-stabbing hoods, bloodshed and boys' toys that boasts a cracking cast on top form. Highly entertaining."
Posted Jan 12, 2007
 
Smokin' Aces (2007)27%

" Whitaker is astounding in this role, moving easily between the happy charm that made Amin champion of his people, and the madness that led this infamous dictator to kill almost half a million of them."
