Rotten 2/5	Rotten 26%	The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009)	" These jokes are fired out like one of those ball-throwing machines used for baseball practice - sometimes they hit and they hurt, sometimes they miss, and sometimes they meet the bat." Posted Oct 23, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	The Hide (2009)	" Every time you think you've got The Hide pegged, and marked it down as one of those small British films, it twists out of reach. A play adaptation that exceeds boundaries and defies expectations." Posted Jun 5, 2009
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 44%	Hannah Montana The Movie (2009)	" Remember where you were when you first saw the 'Hit Me Baby, One More Time' video? For just 102 minutes of your time now you'll be rewarded with a lifetime's-worth of satisfying star-watching." Posted May 1, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 27%	Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)	" How very dull it is to watch movies in which the men are lost little boys and women their sanctified saviours. It's demeaning to everyone." Posted May 1, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 82%	I Love You, Man (2009)	" Making the previously implicit, very explicit - and funny." Posted Apr 17, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 13%	I Can't Think Straight (2008)	" A should-have-been straight-to-DVD film that ticks enough boxes to make its cinema release an example of affirmative action." Posted Apr 3, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Fresh 83%	Two Lovers (2009)	" Like watching one of those theatre productions in which the child characters are played by adults. Unbearable." Posted Mar 28, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 61%	Marley & Me (2008)	" There's much more to this than just the cute dog." Posted Mar 13, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 71%	American Teen (2008)	" An addictive documentary that'll have you cheering and crying, then waiting for the director to jump out from behind your sofa and say it was all a big joke." Posted Mar 7, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 61%	Universe of Keith Haring (2008)	" Disappointingly pedestrian take on Keith Haring's radical art." Posted Feb 27, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 23%	Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)	" It's a shame eBay didn't get their hand in here, but then that would have spoiled almost two hours of light-hearted anti-capitalist sentiment from the producer of Top Gun." Posted Feb 19, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 30%	20th Century Boys (2008)	" A dry run through of the principle players and scene setting for the real action and adventure to come in installments two and three of this manga based trilogy." Posted Feb 19, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 45%	Hotel for Dogs (2009)	" All the innocence of the Beethoven film series but with more dogs." Posted Feb 12, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 86%	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	" Anne Hathaway turns up at some nice lady's wedding and rudely upstages her and the proceedings." Posted Jan 23, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 65%	Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)	" A film as much about friendship as it is about sex, it's like he's teaching his fans how to grow up gracefully." Posted Nov 14, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	" A film with an urgent message that uses the medium to its advantage." Posted Nov 14, 2008
Rotten 1/5	Fresh 77%	A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)	" Not what it wishes to be - it's actually a cautionary tale on the abuse of amphetamines." Posted Aug 15, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 37%	Space Chimps (2008)	" At a time when we are bombarded with dazzling CGI creations, the release of a film with such dull animation is intriguing. A film with clear adult aspirations held back by its supposed audience." Posted Aug 1, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 60%	The Aerial (2007)	" A stylishly inventive play on silent-era movies that presses political buttons." Posted Aug 1, 2008
Rotten 2/5	N/A	Numb (2007)	" Numb doesn't work...It's glib, flip, and cheesy as hell." Posted Jul 8, 2008
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 60%	I Could Never Be Your Woman (2008)	" As an older woman who has built her career on a keen understanding of youth culture, she [Director Amy Heckerling] has a lot to say about Rosie's small world." Posted Jul 8, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 60%	Kamikaze Girls (2005)	" An inventive bittersweet celebration of Japanese youth culture." Posted Jun 6, 2008
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 15%	Superhero Movie! (2008)	" A slap in the face with a smirk. This isn't the fun it ought to be." Posted Jun 6, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 80%	In Bruges (2008)	" A double-act with depth, the cast of In Bruges seize upon an invigorating script and defy expectations." Posted Apr 18, 2008
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 92%	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	" A film that should be required viewing nationwide. A good blast of fresh air that sweeps you off your feet." Posted Apr 18, 2008
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 5%	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	" As Barbara Ellen commented in her 'Observer' column, discussing the treatment of Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, feminism should be approached like football: pick your side and stick with it. Even if that means defending The Hottie And The Nottie." Posted Mar 28, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 71%	Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008)	" This movie either marks the end of civilization or it's just jolly good fun." Posted Mar 14, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 74%	Princesas (2006)	" Princesas is heartwarming and sporadically surprising, bolstered by beautifully measured performances." Posted Dec 28, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 77%	I'm Not There (2007)	" A multifaceted diamond of a film. Todd Haynes joyously freewheels through the times of Bob Dylan." Posted Dec 21, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 78%	Some Came Running (1958)	" A writerly melodrama that whips up some mesmerising performances." Posted May 24, 2003
