4/5
 
"Forget the tabloids – this cocksure caper shows Ritchie is much more than Mr Madonna, while Butler and Kebbell have talent to burn. Punchy, funny, criminal entertainment. " -- Total Film

RocknRolla (2008)65%

"The world would be a better place if Steve Buscemi made more movies. " -- Total Film

Lonesome Jim (2006)59%

4/5
 
"Another comedy winner; if you have to ask why, it’s because it involves the Knocked Up guy. Hilarious – even the Beatles bit, this looks set to be a hit." -- Total Film

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)75%

"Reilly, one of our best supporting actors graduating to star status, finally bound for glory." -- BBC

"Branagh’s imagery is imaginative and the music lifts you. A neat trick." -- Total Film

The Magic Flute (2006)69%

4/5
 
"Ray Mears has nothing on Werner Herzog. A rough guide to survival in the cruel, cruel world, with a captivating central performance from Christian Bale. Gripping, emotional and, oddly, gloriously optimistic. " -- Total Film

Rescue Dawn (2007)90%

"Both exciting and flat, sexy and absurd. " -- BBC

"It's too pious to be entertaining, too polite to be convincing and, like a weapon of mass destruction, takes a lot longer to deploy than 45 minutes." -- BBC

Lions for Lambs (2007)28%
/
3/5
 
"A terrific performance from John Cusack as a cynic on a paranormal mission nudges this towards the higher end of King adaps. Eventually lets itself down, but not before shaking you up." -- Total Film

1408 (2007)78%

3/5
 
"An unremarkable revenge/chase western, bolstered by its name cast, matter-of-fact violence and Toll’s pristine photography. Eventually a little pretentious – with Anjelica Huston’s cameo the nadir – but if you love oaters, it’s just worth the time." -- Total Film
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Seraphim Falls (2007)54%

"Think Austen In Amour, à la Shakespeare In Love. A warm, charming, bittersweet romance – destined to make a thousand dates." -- Total Film

Becoming Jane (2007)57%

3/5
 
"An elegant improvement on Flags, with terrific performances and heart-in-mouth moments, but little lasting impact. Worth watching but worth not fighting for." -- Total Film

"Science-fiction meets emotional fact. An intelligent, time-spanning love story that deserves the benefit of any doubt. Watch. And watch again." -- Total Film

The Fountain (2006)51%

4/5
 
"A smart, searing thriller with blistering performances from McAvoy and Whitaker. Like the best Graham Greene script Graham Greene never wrote." -- Total Film

"Crowe is at his best in the ring and while it's hardly surprising that he's a convincing bruiser, he also manages to make a rather one-note character compelling." -- BBC

"[T]here's plenty to enjoy in the more intimate, character-based moments, if you can cope with the relentlessly overblown action that surrounds them." -- BBC

A Hole in My Heart (2005)41%

5/5
 
"The Godfather made the mob glamorous. Mean Streets made it real. Martin Scorsese's ferocious, grimy 1973 classic is just as good as Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece, but it shows us criminal life lower down the food chain." -- BBC

"It's testament to Zellweger's likeability and skill that the film is still enjoyable, but it lacks the element of surprise." -- BBC
