2/5	"Unless you’re fourteen and female, look away now. There’s absolutely nothing for you here." Posted Aug 15, 2008	Wild Child (2008)	20%
	"Though every shot is painstakingly framed and perfectly lit, the film fails at the human level. These people remain strangers throughout. There is nothing wrong with the performances but it’s difficult to create empathy without intimacy." Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Banishment (2007)	56%
0/5	"This awesomely unambitious film has all the depth of a Pepsi ad." Posted Aug 8, 2008	Make It Happen (2008)	17%
3/5	"Perhaps a shade too long to hold the youngest viewers in permanent thrall, this is a family film in the truest sense - only the grouchiest bear won’t find something to like." Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Fox & the Child (2008)	47%
	"In terms of originality, this Mummy is dead on its feet. And no matter what their nationality, everyone struggles with the generally awful dialogue." Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
	"Save the effort by asking the neighbours if you can come round for ten minutes every night for a week. A wet week. Before pay day." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Private Property (2006)	69%
	"You can almost see the writers (Ellroy, Kurt Wimmer – creator of sci-fi mish-mash Ultraviolet – and first-timer Jamie Moss) charging at one another with false antlers in a challenge to come up with the toughest soundbite." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
	"A morality tale with a distictly Coen-ish air, making excellent, occasionally surreal, use of a great location and lacing the comedy with bloody unpleasantness. It even has a quirky score by Coen collaborator Carter Burwell." Posted Apr 18, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	80%
	"With a fondness for reflective surfaces and long takes, Hou picks up an everyday situation, observes it from various angles, gives it a gentle shake, then puts it down again, seemingly without comment." Posted Mar 14, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	79%
3/5	"With all the meaty goodness of Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers, The Cottage offers solid Brit-horror nourishment." Posted Mar 14, 2008	The Cottage (2008)	71%
1/5	"*With too much talk, not enough adventure and a laughable disregard for geography and anthropology, 10,000 BC* is less Jurassic Park than Pleistocene parp.*" Posted Mar 14, 2008*	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	"As daft as it all becomes, Vantage Point is never dull. Approach it like a double-bill of 24 and there’s enough excitement to overcome the clichés, particularly during the climactic car chase." Posted Mar 7, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
3/5	"Worthy of thine attention? Corset is." Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
	"According to the Ferrell method, the art of comedy characterisation is to put on a straight face (daft hairstyle optional), bellow the first thing that comes to mind (rude words optional), race around like a child on a sugar rush… and repeat." Posted Feb 28, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
	"Those expecting fresh Squid will be disappointed. With few laughs and much whining, Margot takes the fun out of dysfunctional. It’s a damp squib with lots of wail." Posted Feb 28, 2008	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
4/5	"A sombre condemnation of US foreign policy, wrapped in an absorbing whodunit." Posted Jan 24, 2008	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
3/5	"Burton’s best film since Ed Wood will come in handy for anyone in need of something for the weekend." Posted Jan 24, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
5/5	"Naturally, nobody builds suspense like ‘The Master’, but the appealing team of Lockwood and Redgrave receves sterling back-up from twinkly Dame May and Cecil Parker as the spineless adulterer." Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Lady Vanishes (1938)	96%
4/5	"As the author of ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?’, writer-director Hedges knows how to tell a story about kith and kin without smothering it in goo." Posted Jan 11, 2008	Dan in Real Life (2007)	66%
	"Forster takes few liberties with Hosseini's novel: it's a straightforward, anadorned adaptation with the much of the dialogue in Persian and a capable non-starry cast." Posted Dec 28, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
3/5	"Issues of depth aside, this is as distracting an event movie as there’s been all year. But it’s the stuff of multiplex, not legend." Posted Dec 28, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
	"Innocence is entirely absent from this extremely dubious addition to the big-screen adventures of Ronald Searle’s cartoon creations." Posted Dec 21, 2007	St. Trinian's (2007)	41%
	"Coppola drags everyone on a humourless trudge through a jungle of pretension that will have most moviegoers glazing over long before an ending that really isn't worth the wait." Posted Dec 13, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
2/5	"Schmaltzy musical cues ensure we all get the message, but the desperately dull final third is likely to drive both kids and grown-ups to nose-picking, seat-kicking distraction." Posted Dec 13, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
3/5	"All dilutions aside, director Dahl mixes a dash of Six Feet Under with shots of Mr & Mrs Smith and Grosse Point Blank to put the kick into an enjoyably spiky little cocktail." Posted Dec 7, 2007	You Kill Me (2007)	79%
4/5	"*While The Golden Compass* doesn’t have time to clarify all the book’s complexities it’s as welcome a retreat from this old England as Hogwarts, Narnia or Middle Earth.*" Posted Dec 7, 2007*	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
2/5	"Goodwill be stuffed – this is about as appetising as a plateful of reheated sprouts." Posted Nov 29, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
2/5	"A soulless, slackly directed, suspense-free exercise in misanthropy packed with unconvincing stereotypes" Posted Nov 29, 2007	Hitman (2007)	15%
3/5	"When Sylvester Stallone’s Get Carter is no longer the worst remake of a Michael Caine movie, you have to ask yourself: what’s it all about?" Posted Nov 23, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	36%
2/5	"If Hollywood is going to insist on broadcasting calls for the world to wake up and smell the coffee, it’s time to stop strangling them with the Stars and Stripes." Posted Nov 8, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
1/5	"The only amusement here comes from counting the imaginary tumbleweeds that so frequently roll across the screen." Posted Nov 1, 2007	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	16%
	"When people try to make British comedies for American audiences, bad things invariably happen." Posted Nov 1, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	63%
2/5	"Imagine Time Bandits confined to a boring Berkshire village and drained of colour, and you can see why this pig’s ear of Susan Cooper’s well-received children’s story went belly-up at the US box office." Posted Oct 19, 2007	The Seeker (2007)	13%
4/5	"It goes without saying that Rendition is a matter worthy of your utmost attention." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Rendition (2007)	47%
	"A meticulous killer with family issues; a cop with problems of her own; secondary murderers on the loose; a plot with unexplored depths - this could have been a decent TV series." Posted Oct 10, 2007	Mr. Brooks (2007)	56%
2/5	"Recycling ideas and characters from 250 years of romantic literature without adding any new ones of its own, Evening is like dining with Jane Austen and Barbara Cartland and not being allowed to get down from the table." Posted Sep 21, 2007	Evening (2007)	27%
	"Ladies and gentlemen, Quentin Tarantino presents Death Proof: another feature-length gimmick that chokes two screamingly good action sequences in a smog of self-indulgent, self-referential, self-satisfied flatulence." Posted Sep 21, 2007	Death Proof (2007)	61%
4/5	"Finding humanity amidst inhumanity, A Mighty Heart is sobering proof that the most frightening horror stories come from the real world. Every day." Posted Sep 21, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
	"Crisply shot by cinematographer David Connell, the South Australian locations offer a nostalgic, golden glow to proceedings. Sadly, the characters inspire little sense of wonder." Posted Sep 14, 2007	December Boys (2007)	43%
4/5	"Bullets through umbilical cords, shootouts during sex and gunfights in gun factories: this is one movie that does exactly what it says on the tin." Posted Sep 14, 2007	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
	"3:10 to Yuma builds up a full head of steam and sustains it." Posted Sep 14, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
1/5	"By the end, many will be outraged by the sheer irresponsibility of it all. The rest will be too busy laughing." Posted Aug 31, 2007	Death Sentence (2007)	19%
	"With smashing performances and plenty of heart, it joins Bobcat Goldthwait’s recent Sleeping Dogs as a worthy addition to 2007’s woof-and-ready hall of fame." Posted Aug 31, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	69%
	"1408 is the best King conversion since Misery." Posted Aug 31, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
	"While Zeta-Jones and Eckhart make an appealing couple, their chemistry never really develops due to the script’s complete lack of sauce." Posted Aug 31, 2007	No Reservations (2007)	39%
