Fresh 4/5	Fresh 93%	Shotgun Stories (2007)	" Set in rural Arkansas, Jeff Nichols' relaxed, distinctive debut revels in the milieu of its redneck characters, but injects their rural half-blood feud with an almost mythic quality." — Guardian [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008
—	Fresh 78%	Some Came Running (1958)	Click here to read article — Guardian [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 76%	Heartbeat Detector (2008)	" There's no killer revelation, just a graceful telescoping of past into present and a steadily accumulating dread." — Guardian [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 46%	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	" Woody Allen still insists on making movies at the rate of one a year, but he clearly needs to slow down. A lot." — Guardian [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 54%	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	" The promising themes peter out as the film loses direction, though, and Bartlett is neither sympathetic enough to root for nor dumb enough to laugh at." — Guardian [UK] Posted Oct 18, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 88%	Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007)	" Temple's film is a fittingly conscientious and absorbing tribute to his complex, contradictory personality." — Guardian [UK] Posted Jan 9, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 91%	Tough Enough (2006)	" Well acted, scored and paced, and striking a careful balance between social realism and hip street thriller." — Guardian [UK] Posted Sep 21, 2007
—	N/A	These Foolish Things (2006)	Click here to read article — Guardian [UK] Posted Aug 18, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 45%	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	" Buoyed by luck, comedy and state-of-the-art special effects, it has not only survived the journey intact, it's also washed down its decks, ready for a whole new cycle of movies to begin." — Guardian [UK] Posted Jun 30, 2007
—	Fresh 64%	Wild Tigers I Have Known (2007)	Click here to read article — Guardian [UK] Posted Jun 2, 2007
Rotten 3/5	Fresh 71%	The Bothersome Man (2007)	" It's a delectable premise, rendered with smooth efficiency but we never really get beneath the surface of this shallow parallel reality." — Guardian [UK] Posted Jun 2, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 77%	Longing (2006)	" It is shot like a documentary and set in an almost comically mundane smalltown, but it deals with elemental forces and grand, romantic themes." — Guardian [UK] Posted May 19, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 88%	Mutual Appreciation (2006)	" Bujalski perfectly skewers what you might call the "sort-of" generation: educated, mid-20s white Americans hemmed in by their own non-committal uncertainty." — Guardian [UK] Posted May 4, 2007
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 39%	Straightheads (2007)	" This nasty and nonsensical rape-revenge thriller is a feature-length exercise in wrongness." — Guardian [UK] Posted Apr 27, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 22%	Typhoon (2006)	" As desperately overblown as anything Hollywood has ever concocted." — Guardian [UK] Posted Apr 27, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	The Puffy Chair (2006)	" The dialogue captures the awkwardness and frustration of young adulthood with loving accuracy." — Guardian [UK] Posted Apr 27, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 56%	Alpha Dog (2007)	" Overall though, it's a messy, superficial affair: it lacks focus, shifts uneasily in tone, and shoehorns in star names (Sharon Stone, Bruce Willis) to little effect." — Guardian [UK] Posted Apr 20, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	Beyond Hatred (2005)	" It's unlikely to appeal to your mainstream moviegoer, but this French documentary achieves remarkable things with a depressing subject." — Guardian [UK] Posted Mar 31, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 51%	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	" There are innumerable set pieces, most of which take an awfully long time to deliver an awfully weak gag." — Guardian [UK] Posted Mar 31, 2007
Rotten 3/5	Fresh 85%	The Namesake (2007)	" There were many moments when I found myself wanting to refer to the book to find out what really happened." — Guardian [UK] Posted Mar 31, 2007

Fresh 3/5	Fresh 81%	The World's Fastest Indian (2005)	" It creaks and splutters all the way, but Hopkins' charm keeps it chugging along steadily." — Guardian [UK] Posted Jan 27, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 69%	Curious George (2006)	" It's a gentle, unhurried, largely hand-drawn children's cartoon with a nice simple storyline and no nods and winks to the grown-ups." — Guardian [UK] Posted Jan 27, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 84%	Old Joy (2006)	" A spare and satisfying experience." — Guardian [UK] Posted Jan 26, 2007
