Fresh 3/5	Fresh 77%	The Informant! (2009)	" Although Damon is on brilliantly bumbling form, The Informant! ultimately comes off as Soderbergh’s Burn After Reading – a diversionary lark until he gets back to serious filmmaking." — Total Film Posted Nov 20, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 50%	Glorious 39 (2009)	" Poliakoff’s conspiracy thriller about Hitler-pleasers and appalling aristos comes with all the bucolic loveliness you’d expect. But its biggest boost comes from Garai, whose fragile, hypnotic turn should make the actress a gong contender." — Total Film Posted Nov 20, 2009
N/A	Rotten 39%	2012 (2009)	" 12 Facts About 2012" — Rotten Tomatoes Posted Nov 2, 2009
N/A	Fresh 89%	Zombieland (2009)	" *Emma Stone talks Zombieland* - RT Interview*" — Rotten Tomatoes* Posted Oct 7, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 90%	District 9 (2009)	" Whisking together raw docu-stylings, smart social commentary and wacky, insectoid aliens, Blomkamp has delivered a true original. Missing the thrill of brave, new, brilliantly realised sci-fi? Then don’t miss the No 9…" — Total Film Posted Sep 4, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 86%	500 Days of Summer (2009)	" A playful, witty, disordered telling of a fractured romance. Bringing fresh zing to a genre prone to predictability, Webb crafts a (not-in-) love story about feeling bad that’s infectiously good." — Total Film Posted Sep 4, 2009
N/A	Fresh 90%	District 9 (2009)	" *Neill Blomkamp talks District 9* - RT Interview*" — Rotten Tomatoes* Posted Sep 3, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 51%	The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)	" For a good hour, Scott delivers a tense cat-and-mouser. Goes off track when Denzel turns action hero, but his riffing with a sinister Trav is what propels this Pelham." — Total Film Posted Jul 31, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 16%	Crossing Over (2009)	" Hampered by wayward direction and a skin-deep script, this won’t be following Crash to the Academy podium. If you loved Haggis’ Oscar victor, you might squeeze an iota of enlightenment out of Kramer’s copycat melodrama." — Total Film Posted Jul 31, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 67%	The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)	" If it’s an ultimately shallow journey, jagged humour and a few sharp tugs of emotion keep it rolling." — Total Film Posted Jul 10, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 72%	Sunshine Cleaning (2009)	" Sunshine Cleaning gets an A for Amy Adams. Injecting some heartfelt, three-dimensional zest into the wispy, two-dimensional story, she spares this copycat indie’s blushes and scores a winning combo with Blunt." — Total Film Posted Jul 3, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 53%	Viva (2008)	" For all its garish aesthetics, sly feminism and wall-to-wall nudity, writer/director Anne Biller’s camp-com is almost too much of a good thing, outstaying its welcome at a paint-drying two hours." — Total Film Posted May 15, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 41%	Fighting (2009)	" Despite its dog-eared underpinnings, Fighting delivers some heady testoster-tainment. But it’s Channing Tatum who gives it a bruising grace." — Total Film Posted May 15, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 54%	Cheri (2009)	" This reunion of Dangerous Liaisons talent is a lighter, less demanding confection than its blistering predecessor. Languid delights come in the shape of Pfeiffer, Bates and some extraordinary hats, but the title character is a wash-out." — Total Film Posted May 8, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 13%	Dragonball: Evolution (2009)	" Tearing through its mystical, who-gives-a-toss storyline like a pissed bat bouncing off cave walls, Dragonball’s cocktail of cheap effects, eye-rolling cliches and dismal direlogue will have fans of the series condemning it as a beyond-lame failure." — Total Film Posted Apr 9, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 30%	20th Century Boys (2008)	" 20th Century Boys whisks wacko cults, city-stomping robots and the power of rock'n'roll into a bizarre brew that will delight converts but possibly bewilder the uninitiated." — Total Film Posted Feb 19, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	Appaloosa (2008)	" A classics-steeped western that rams home tradition over reinvention, Appaloosa kicks it hard as a buddy pic on horseback. Harris and Mortensen’s study in laid-back companionship is the principal pleasure, leaving Zellweger mired in role that does her and" — Total Film Posted Sep 26, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 44%	The Strangers (2008)	" Lean, mean and razor-edged, this nasty little home-invasion thriller drags you by your white knuckles on a horror chill-ride while flicking its middle finger at Funny Games. Prepare to be scared something rotten." — Total Film Posted Aug 29, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 55%	Step Brothers (2008)	" You’ll laugh a ton, but you might also feel that you can have too much of a good thing." — Total Film Posted Aug 29, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	Man On Wire (2008)	" Marsh’s film is an achievement in itself, beautifully constructed and carried off; and that’s only fitting when his subject epitomises the soul-lifting power of that perpetual human hunger to do the impossible." — Total Film Posted Aug 1, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 38%	Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)	" It’s a fool’s paradise for Craig as his fading filmstar looks back on how teenage hormones lead to tragedy. Walsh doesn’t fritter away Daniel’s magnanimity, but the lurch between Hollywood washout and ramshackle English adolescence needs more to bond." — Total Film Posted Apr 18, 2008
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 58%	Single White Female (1992)	" Fluffy thriller, with moments of unintentional humour." — Empire Magazine Posted Apr 14, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 66%	The Kite Runner (2007)	" The film deftly spans the cruelty of Afghan history, from the Soviet invasion to Taliban desolation." — Total Film Posted Dec 28, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 30%	Youth Without Youth (2007)	" Youth Without Youth is tinged with Coppola’s abiding, unquenchable affection for cinema. The eccentric narrative may baffle and meander, but there are glimpses of a great director getting the feel again." — Total Film Posted Dec 13, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 24%	Shrooms (2006)	" A lo-fi shocker with a set-up so perfunctory, if you root around in your popcorn too long you’ll miss it." — Total Film Posted Nov 23, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 7%	Silk (2007)	" Sluggish storytelling enlivens neither Pitt’s infatuation with a local concubine nor the stubbornly feudal society it’s set against. Worst of all, though, you just never give a toss." — Total Film Posted Nov 9, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 65%	School Ties (1992)	" The boys put in fine performances but sadly the script lacks the depth of what could have been a challenging story." — Empire Magazine Posted Oct 15, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 90%	Michael Clayton (2007)	" Continuing to seek out writer/directors with something to say, Clooney’s latest pair-up packs its anti-corporate agenda with enough meat to keep you hooked." — Total Film Posted Sep 28, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 64%	Death Proof (2007)	" Now with added lapdance, QT’s B-movie homage to cars and girls deploys its cheap thrills with laid-back craft and class. Russell’s wicked fun, Bell’s a true trooper. Distributors! Can we have Planet Terror now, please?" — Total Film Posted Sep 21, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	2 Days In Paris (2007)	" 2 Days is a sparky, crowd-cheering gem buoyed by Julie Delpy’s smart writing and Adam Goldberg’s tart whining. Less swoony than Linklater’s Before Sunrise/Sunset, but Delpy nails the relationship humour." — Total Film Posted Aug 31, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 70%	Moliere (2007)	" Both a glittering showcase for a literary giant’s comic genius and a first-class farce in its own right. By turns funny, mysterious, suffering and sexy, Romain Duris again proves he’s the most charismatic French actor working today." — Total Film Posted Jul 13, 2007
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 97%	Casablanca (1942)	" One of those rare films where every shot and every quotable line of dialogue counts, there’s not a dead patch in Casablanca." — Total Film Posted Feb 14, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 75%	Black Book (2007)	" Stacked with espionage, romance and tragedy, this sees Verhoeven back on his game, while van Houten gives a bold breakout performance." — Total Film Posted Jan 15, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	The Piano (1993)	" The Piano deserves its place as a classic." — Empire Magazine Posted Nov 3, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	The Firm (1993)	" An average movie improved by Cruise's star appeal and accomplished supporting cast." — Empire Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000
