Rotten 2/5	Rotten 21%	Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009)	" The Squeakquel is astonishingly high-pitched, like 100 helium balloons being let off in your head. A caveat, then: dogs may pick up on subtleties I've missed." Posted Dec 18, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 68%	Sherlock Holmes (2009)	" It's a hollow attempt at modernisation, and quickly grows dull. Watson's big dilemma � whether to quit his life with Holmes for marriage to lovely Mary has, at heart, all the depth of a Wham! song." Posted Dec 15, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 0%	Christmas in Wonderland ()	" The note of morbidity lends faint interest to a film that's like spending an hour and a half inside an Argos catalogue." Posted Nov 20, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 62%	Love The Beast (2009)	" Bana may not be a star exactly swaddled in �charisma, but what �mystique he did have is �disassembled as comprehensively as that coupe's �innards." Posted Nov 13, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 43%	Lala Pipo - A Lot of People ()	" Just one in a million is likely to �enjoy �Masayuki Miyano's laugh-free sex �comedy." Posted Nov 13, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 47%	The Horseman (2008)	" Biblical parallels are laid on with crowbar �delicacy." Posted Oct 30, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 96%	The Cove (2009)	" The great strength of this documentary about the covert killing of wild dolphins in Japan is its aesthetic: artful edits, zippy music, even a few jokes. Radical stuff for an eco-documentary." Posted Oct 23, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 23%	Sorority Row (2009)	" Sisters are doing it for themselves in this jolly college horror flick � if by "it" you mean horrible slaughter and softcore nudity." Posted Sep 11, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 88%	Sin Nombre (2009)	" If you've ever got your hands on a second-hand set of Operation, you'll know how it feels to watch the latest addition to the slum drama stable. Most parts are present and correct, but there's definitely something missing - a heart, perhaps?" Posted Aug 14, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 95%	Mid-August Lunch (2009)	" Mid-August Lunch is a film of rare benevolence that treats its subjects with dignity and playfulness." Posted Aug 14, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 100%	The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)	" There's something irresistibly swinging, even promiscuous, about the whole affair." Posted Aug 14, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 14%	The Ugly Truth (2009)	" There is, in fact, a spark of chemistry between Heigl and Butler: it's testimony to the ineptitude that the film itself acts as such a wet blanket." Posted Aug 7, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 55%	Orphan (2009)	" Some impressively committed work from Farmiga (even when Googling "Children who kill") and a humdinger of a twist make this a rather good bad seed." Posted Aug 7, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 11%	Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009)	" What a drag. This grabby-titled disaster flick - splashing across the pond on a tidal wave of chuckly publicity - is a damp squib." Posted Aug 7, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 73%	Meerkats (2008)	" "Even the wind has dust in its eyes," remarks Newman, at an especially weepy bit. Others may have trouble keeping them open." Posted Aug 7, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 92%	Home (2009)	" The acting's superb, the premise intriguing, but it's hard to have sympathy for the heroine's stubbornness." Posted Aug 7, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 64%	Beautiful Losers (2008)	" You can't help but feel like a bit of an eye-rolling parent, wondering if a few of them might benefit from a proper job and a light slap." Posted Aug 7, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 45%	New Town Killers (2009)	" Given that it's basically one big chase, there's something awfully snoozy about this latest from Richard Jobson - a sort of cut-price, Scottish-set Hostel (a mountain bothy, maybe?)." Posted Jun 12, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 43%	Doghouse (2009)	" The acting's just awful, the misogyny undeniable, but the odd flash of Shaun of the Dead-style inventiveness means you forgive it buckets." Posted Jun 12, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 84%	Grease (1978)	" There's a surprising strain of filth, too - this is much closer to Hairspray than High School Musical. The message is: burn rubber, have sex, strut about like a chicken. It's one that's hard to resist." Posted Sep 26, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 32%	The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)	" Even the most devout X-Files fan may have their faith tested by this snoozy addition to the franchise, which glides into cinemas with all the urgency of a Dalek with a flat battery." Posted Aug 1, 2008
