4/5	" By portraying conflict via cartoon, Ari Folman's remarkable animated documentary reloads the genre's impact." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 21, 2008	Waltz with Bashir (2008)	93%
3/5	" Wonderfully acted if wildly flawed, this a weirdly funny, ultimately uplifting ensemble comedy drama about having the courage to be a real person and love another: you won't know whether to split your sides or your wrists." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 21, 2008	Choke (2008)	55%
3/5	" It's a confused compromise between 'seeing the real person' parable, no-fun sci-fi and self-realisation drama that's basically The Day Of The Triffids minus the killer plants." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 21, 2008	Blindness (2008)	42%
3/5	" What's surprising is that such a heavyweight combo of Crowe, DiCaprio and Scott would waste their collective gravitas on something so light. Action and acting are both solid but there's no deeper human or political dimension to justify the running time." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 21, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	50%
3/5	" But although there's the odd, inspired shock gag, most of the laughs are lazy and the predictable romcom ending takes way too long to arrive." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 14, 2008	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	64%
3/5	" A quirky romcom, bonkers in the way only Japanese movies can be." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 14, 2008	Fine, Totally Fine (2008)	56%
4/5	" A natty satire on imperialism and tr�s visually stylish to boot, it constantly keeps you tickled with crazy one-liners and silly visual gags." -- Metro [UK] Posted Nov 7, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008)	76%
5/5	" Terence Davies's first film in eight years is a beauty." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 31, 2008	Of Time and the City (2008)	83%
5/5	" Achieving truth through beauty, Hunger is an art movie in the deepest sense." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 31, 2008	Hunger (2008)	94%
4/5	" An 'interesting' more than enjoyably escapist entry to the 007 cannon." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 30, 2008	Quantum of Solace (2008)	66%
3/5	" Reminiscent of early Jackie Chan flicks, an action-packed, pick-and-mix of punch-ups include a cheeky tribute to Lee's legendary icehouse scene in The Big Boss, culminating in a spectacular multi-storey jaw-dropper." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 24, 2008	Chocolate (2008)	71%
2/5	" The story is far-fetched and exploitative and the awkward dialogue is frequently laughable. But committed acting, cast chemistry and the odd touching moment just about save you from checking whether this was actually produced by Bernard Matthews." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 24, 2008	Incendiary (2008)	26%
4/5	" Fancy a good bit of foreign art house of a Saturday night? You've found your pick of the week." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 24, 2008	Quiet Chaos (2008)	85%
2/5	" This glittery Disney product may boast the biggest, fastest advance sales in movie history but it remains largely a mystery to those of us with an age in double figures." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 24, 2008	High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)	67%
	" That not all of them do sadly lends a much-needed emotional depth to a doc that, odd beautiful moments aside, can feel like a solid reality TV hour stretched out to 108 minutes. Bring hankies." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
3/5	" A decent US ensemble cast includes regulars from Curb Your Enthusiasm and, though the pacing is too slack, some silly one-liners help to make up for it." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	39%
3/5	" Under-tens are unlikely to be the only ones wondering what's going on; the story is an over-brainstormed botch job." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	Igor (2008)	32%
4/5	" Deceptively dark for all its lightness, Coen haters will be infuriated by a stylish conceit that perversely sets out not to amount to a hill of beans." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 17, 2008	Burn After Reading (2008)	79%
1/5	" Mutant Chronicles is as atrocious as its terrible title suggests � but one redemptive aspect to this based-on- a-role-play-game snooze-fest is its ambitious visual flair." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	Mutant Chronicles (2008)	20%
3/5	" The ending is predictably feel-good � if it takes way too long coming � but the female-penned script keeps you perky with some surprisingly surreal flashes� such as: 'The eyes are like the nipples of the face.'" -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	The House Bunny (2008)	40%
2/5	" But High Tension director Alexandre Aja's disappointingly low-tension Hollywood studio remake is a pale reflection of its Korean original." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	14%
4/5	" It's as unsentimental as it is understated and only afterwards do you realise how remarkable it is to find a mafia film that neither over-grits nor over-glams its underworld." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	Gomorrah (2009)	95%
1/5	" And though 14-year-old Saoirse Ronan (Oscar-nominated for Atonement) shines as the city's saviour, even she can't light a path through a suspenseless plot seemingly attacked by hungry moths." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 10, 2008	City of Ember (2008)	48%
3/5	" Bafflingly, this film leaves you not knowing whether to kill yourself, cry, walk out or laugh." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Import/Export (2007)	78%
	" Don't get excited by the saucy title of this offbeat US indie. What sounds like an X-rated skin flick is in fact an indulgent, emotionally ersatz 'unusual fairytale' of a lonely young woman." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Good Dick (2008)	47%
3/5	" This isn't the truffle box of Brit thesps you'd imagine; instead, the main star is Andrew Davies's nuanced, if awkwardly paced script." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	64%
3/5	" This comedy is gunning to do for glossy magazines what The Devil Wears Prada did for fashion - and ends up shooting itself in the hand-stitched loafers." -- Metro [UK] Posted Oct 3, 2008	How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)	38%
4/5	" Warm and engaging, this has its cutesy moments and crazy Van Gogh-inspired time-travel fantasy visuals but remains appealingly grounded in relatable, sublimated adolescent fears of growing up." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008)	87%
3/5	" For all its half-hearted attempts to trip expectation, Hunt's adaptation of Elinor Lipman's novel is ultimately a romcom wherein themes of adoption and betrayal come with too much sensitive, careworn soul-searching." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	51%
3/5	" A game of good, solid passes that emotionally fail to hit the back of the net." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Linha de passe ()	75%
2/5	" You may think I'm being a spoilsport but I'm doing you a favour by lowering your expectations. Get the beers in first and Tom Cruise jive-dancing to T-Pain's Lo in a hairy fat suit may well be the funniest thing you've seen that evening." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 19, 2008	Tropic Thunder (2008)	83%
1/5	" A ghastly Sex And The City knock-off guaranteed to make its chick-flick audience storm angrily out in search of the next Rambo movie." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	The Women (2008)	13%
3/5	" No sooner did the woeful Step Brothers suggest Judd Apatow's comedy empire was starting to spread itself thinner than a banana skin under an anvil, he strikes back with this almost-classic." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
	" A disturbing, bleak, multilayered mystery that will not just worm under your flesh but also wriggle inside your nightmares." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Jar City (2008)	94%
4/5	" It's the latest proof that, when it comes to scary movies at least, the British film industry is alive and screaming." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 12, 2008	Eden Lake (2008)	82%
3/5	" The flashback structure adds nothing but length to an already awkward mix of humanist-socialist parable and gently halting love story that's been sat on a shelf since 2005. But even so, it's a surprisingly sweet little treat." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	Sweet Land (2006)	84%
2/5	" Proof that Cage will sign up to anything that involves a mad hair weave and a motorbike." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	9%
2/5	" You'll find yourself less fixated on inner turmoil than whether you could feasibly slip a cocktail sausage between her perma-pouting lips." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
3/5	" But his gift for wicked smash/grab visuals and larky, on-der-money one-liners just about compensates for all his gratingly puerile posing." -- Metro [UK] Posted Sep 5, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	58%
4/5	" Light radiates intensely from Reha Erdem's glowing enigma, a spiritual yet earthy meditation on the passing of time that proves quietly fruitful." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Times and Winds (2008)	86%
1/5	" A good scary movie retells a creaky story in a manner that terrifies you afresh. All this has is Tyler trembling like a wet-lipped goldfish in a performance you could peg out to drip dry. Run away." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	44%
2/5	" A sci-fi actioner that sees bald hero Vin Diesel back stomping around the future like a small, gun-toting penis." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Babylon A.D. (2008)	7%
3/5	" The direction is unlikeably murky and unfocused but this is more dope than wack � and a guaranteed four-star movie if you're already stoned yourself." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	68%
2/5	" Funny as it is watching balding middle-aged men clowning like eight-year-olds � particularly when it involves Ferrell man-crying � it soon starts to grow old when that's all the script has to offer." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 29, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	54%
4/5	" Funny, raw and gentle, bearing national identity issues with enviable lightness, it's essentially a beautiful piece of black and white observation, buffed from many hours of improv." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Somers Town (2008)	88%
2/5	" An uninspired comedy that runs the full gamut from characters being punched in the groin/face to being shot in the face/groin, until everything culminates in an expensively pointless action finale." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Get Smart (2008)	53%
2/5	" It's narrated with ear-tearing pretentiousness by snapper Edo Bertoglio, primarily as an attempt to get over his past � he should have concentrated on getting over himself." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	Face Addict (2008)	30%
1/5	" For horrified parents, Donny Osmond's cameo is � scarily � the sole lifebelt in a truly desperate mess of unamusing plot randomness, which runs from sky-diving to high-IQ pigs." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 22, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	12%
4/5	" McDormand brings a Chaplinesque pathos to this snappy period comedy. Fabulous frocks, tasty men, female bonding, art deco apartments to die for; it's like Sex And The City set in 1930s London. I could have happily watched it for hours�" -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
	" Any magic is instantly dispelled by the dead hand of a tirelessly pouting Zeta-Jones, whose slap boasts more layers than her talent." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 8, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	44%
