3/5
 
" Unfairly buried by its distributors in the US, this film takes what could have been a drab set-up and gives it some real bravado, energy and creativity."

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)68%

2.5/5
 
" A good thriller but the whole package is underwhelming, and no matter what changes are introduced to the franchise, underwhelming is something a Bond movie should never be."
Posted Oct 30, 2008
 
Quantum of Solace (2008)66%
/
2.5/5
 
" Jolly enough but far, far too nice. A satire with no bite that seems much more like a chance to preach at an apathetic electorate."
Posted Sep 26, 2008

1/5
 
" There's a broad theory that no matter how funny the comedy, 90 minutes is the point at which audiences have had enough. You Don't Mess With The Zohan trundles on for 113 minutes, none of them funny."

" There's still plenty of fun to be had with this addition to the saga, though it never escapes its origins in kids' TV. So long as you don't approach it expecting a traditional Star Wars movie, you'll stand a better chance of enjoying it."

1.5/5
 
" A caffeine-free horror that's just as dull, disappointing and dispiriting as attending a real high school prom."

3/5
 
" It's fantastic to see a superhero movie getting away from the navel-gazing to serve up overboard action with a knowing sense of humour."
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%

3.5/5
 
" In comparison with most of the Indian cinema that breaks through to the Western mainstream, Bandit Queen stands out for its political attitude and willingness to take on Hollywood sensibilities in its storytelling."

Bandit Queen (1994)100%

2.5/5
 
" A worthy subject and some impressive sequences, but Children Of Glory is a would-be epic emerging as a clumsy culture clash."
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Szabadság, Szerelem (2006)90%
/
3/5
 
" Well worth a look but this isn't trying hard enough to be as dumb as it needs to be. Next time, Ferrell, less ambition please."

Semi-Pro (2008)21%

2.5/5
 
" Very enjoyable as a 'race against time' thriller and Lane is great as the weary but determined lead. It's just a shame that Untraceable's message is delivered in such a ham-fisted, hypocritical way."
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%

4/5
 
" Hugely enjoyable. Can't British cinema do this sort or thing a bit more often?"
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
The Bank Job (2008)78%
/
2.5/5
 
" Accomplished filmmaking used to tell a story that doesn't really need such a big canvas."

1.5/5
 
" Cut a ping-pong ball in half, draw a large black dot in the centre of each then carefully insert around your eye-sockets- you'll raise more laughs than this film manages."

Balls of Fury (2007)23%

4/5
 
" A great cast and a great script make this a surprising recommendation as a first date movie."
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
You Kill Me (2007)78%

" You'll have a better time if you spend Christmas wedged up a chimney."

3/5
 
" Sweet-tasting without being too sickly, though at 104 minutes, a smaller portion might have gone down better."
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Waitress (2007)88%
/
2/5
 
" A worthy subject and a great looking film, tragically let down by a major lack of pacing and focus."
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
Gandhi, My Father (2007)40%

3.5/5
 
" Spooky, smart and subtle."
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
Wind Chill (2007)48%

1/5
 
" If it's spine-chilling horror you're after, move along, but if you're looking for unintentional laughs then this'll take some beating."

" A great cast put to poor use in an espionage film so determined to avoid spy movie cliches that it fails to remember what makes them enjoyable in the first place."

The Quiller Memorandum (1966)86%
/
4/5
 
" At once dated and weirdly modern, this may not be the film Wells wanted it to be, but it's still more ambitious and impressive than most fantasy cinema of the past 30 years."
