1/5	"Martin Lawrence sits sheepishly low behind the wheel for this meandering drive through comedy hell. " -- Channel 4 Film Posted Aug 22, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	13%
3/5	"A little toilet humour goes a long way in this otherwise sobering portrait of life in a rural corner of South America." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Pope's Toilet (2007)	83%
1/5	"If you truly love yourself, do yourself a favour and avoid this spiritless comedy." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
2/5	"Last-minute revelations emerge screaming from around the corner like squad cars you heard coming half-an-hour ago, and it all ends with a dull thud instead of a crash wallop. Long after you've stopped caring, it's finally over and out." -- BBC Posted Apr 18, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
3/5	"Sturgess quietly sparkles as the born loser who struggles to adapt to life on winners' row. " -- BBC Posted Apr 11, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
2/5	"This soporific stupor and final pinch of defeat is the experience that most fully equates with watching this film. " -- BBC Posted Mar 28, 2008	The Go Master (2006)	69%
3/5	"Whether framed against this vast landscape or in the poky, subterranean living quarters, an impressive cast of young actors are able to express a growing sense of claustrophobia without words, and music rarely interrupts. " -- BBC Posted Mar 28, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	88%
2/5	"Loretta Devine and Olivia Cole shine out as veteran members of the flock, but even their class combined is no saving grace." -- BBC Posted Mar 28, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	14%
3/5	"A heavy dose of hysteria along with copious scientific data means that, even at 90 minutes, it can feel unwieldy and quite overwhelming. Still, if you're able to handle the pace, it is in the end, a positive eye-opener." -- BBC Posted Mar 18, 2008	The 11th Hour (2007)	66%
3/5	"This is cartoon carnage with a slightly surreal twist - most notably in Peter's encounter with a swarm of moths - but the developing bond between the brothers makes it surprisingly poignant too. All things considered, you'll forgive the shaky parts." -- BBC Posted Mar 14, 2008	The Cottage (2008)	71%
2/5	"Feels as if it's been patched together using 'auto-fill' screenwriting software." -- BBC Posted Feb 28, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
2/5	"The prognosis: a total emotional block." -- BBC Posted Feb 28, 2008	The Accidental Husband (2009)	0%
3/5	"Even when Kravchuck lets the story drift, the boy is a solid anchor." -- BBC Posted Jan 24, 2008	The Italian (2007)	91%
2/5	"Philibert lets the interviewees ramble and the fly-on-the-wall business feels totally random. " -- BBC Posted Jan 18, 2008	Back to Normandy (2008)	88%
4/5	"War has rarely been this much fun, but director Mike Nichols is careful to offset the mischief with a poignant reminder of the days that lay ahead." -- BBC Posted Jan 7, 2008	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
3/5	"Despite the difficult subject matter, there is colour and energy to the storytelling that betrays a diehard optimism and is vaguely reminiscent of Pedro Almodovar's films. Aranoa keeps a loose, fluid feel to the action and ups the tempo with music. " -- BBC Posted Dec 25, 2007	Princesas (2006)	74%
2/5	"that 'jolly hockey sticks' vibe feels outmoded with the only efforts to update the concept being shorter skirts and push-up bras. " -- BBC Posted Dec 21, 2007	St. Trinian's (2007)	41%
3/5	"Whilst some of the vivid detail in Khalid Hosseini's best-selling novel does get lost in translation, director Marc Forster hits all the emotional high notes." -- BBC Posted Dec 18, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
2/5	"It's impossible to say for sure, but the moral of the story could be: don't waste your time." -- BBC Posted Dec 13, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
3/5	"There's a feeling of eerie otherworldliness and the murder itself is relished in detail, however the film does lack overall impact" -- BBC Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	35%
3/5	"Approach this not as a lesson in the facts of life, just a bit of childish escapism." -- BBC Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
3/5	"The film isn't without its flaws, but in defying Hollywood convention, it manages to reach parts other comedies cannot reach." -- BBC Posted Dec 4, 2007	You Kill Me (2007)	79%
4/5	"Apparently, all the world needs a hero and there is nobody better than Brad Pitt, with all his untouchable starriness, to fill those boots." -- BBC Posted Nov 29, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
2/5	"What seems like fertile comedy territory turns out to be as barren as the North Pole. " -- BBC Posted Nov 27, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
3/5	"Those who relished Anderson's candy-coloured bittersweet style in The Life Aquatic should enjoy the trip. " -- BBC Posted Nov 13, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
3/5	"Emile Hirsch captures all of the arrogance, integrity, naivet� and charm of this complex, troubled young man." -- BBC Posted Nov 6, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
3/5	"Beyond the premise, there's nothing too surprising about this film from writer/director Robin Swicord, but it is perfectly agreeable." -- BBC Posted Nov 6, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
4/5	"A guaranteed shot of pure heart-pumping entertainment." -- BBC Posted Nov 6, 2007	American Gangster (2007)	79%
3/5	"Essentially it's a game of verbal ping-pong and, even if cynicism wins the day too easily in the end, the interplay is lively and intriguing." -- BBC Posted Nov 2, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
4/5	"Even though the script plays fast and loose with historical facts, that indomitable bulldog spirit rings true and holds you captive for the duration." -- BBC Posted Oct 30, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
3/5	"Pleasingly anarchic." -- BBC Posted Oct 27, 2007	Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution (2007)	80%
3/5	"Despite numerous cutesy twists, it's the gradual unveiling of a warped morality that lures you into Brooks' world." -- BBC Posted Oct 10, 2007	Mr. Brooks (2007)	56%
5/5	"Anand Tucker has no need of bells and whistles, instead letting Colin Firth, and especially Jim Broadbent, enthral us with wonderfully vivid performances." -- BBC Posted Oct 5, 2007	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	73%
3/5	"Thankfully, Sturgess keeps the film grounded with a rumpled, earthy charm, and Wood brings much-needed emotional depth. And yes, the songs will strike a chord as well." -- BBC Posted Sep 28, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	54%
4/5	"Starter For Ten comfortably makes the grade for rib-tickling entertainment." -- BBC Posted Sep 22, 2007	Starter For 10 (2007)	89%
3/5	"This portrait of life is all about the yin and the yang, so it follows that for everyone who finds it dull there are those who will be captivated." -- BBC Posted Sep 21, 2007	Syndromes and A Century (2007)	87%
2/5	"With the director setting such a leisurely pace, the seventh step into total inertia takes hold well before the curtain drops." -- BBC Posted Sep 21, 2007	As You Like It (2006)	31%
2/5	"Unfortunately, with each bullet she discharges, credibility takes a hit." -- BBC Posted Sep 18, 2007	The Brave One (2007)	43%
4/5	"In many ways it's a disturbing story and Hudson offers few gestures of absolution, but those tiny chinks of light are all the more powerful because of it." -- BBC Posted Sep 14, 2007	True North (2006)	75%
4/5	"At the helm of this remake, James Mangold initially risks stalling the plot with too much backstory, but then it's edge-of-your-seat action all the way." -- BBC Posted Sep 11, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
3/5	"Trier justifies the boys' hardships with a bright and breezy detour through would-be glories. Altogether he crafts a striking portrait of the artist as a young brat, with the leads showing enough sensitivity to carry it off." -- BBC Posted Sep 7, 2007	Reprise (2008)	87%
3/5	" Schwimmer often resists an easy laugh in favour of a poignant moment and thereby heightens the sense of urgency during Dennis' last dash for glory." -- BBC Posted Sep 7, 2007	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
1/5	"From the novelist who spawned Death Wish (1974) comes another story of vigilante justice that'll make you want to hurt someone. Anyone." -- BBC Posted Aug 31, 2007	Death Sentence (2007)	19%
4/5http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2007/08/27/a_throw_o	"Entrancing as it is exotic, silent classic A Throw Of Dice (1929) plays like a fairytale for adults." -- BBC Posted Aug 31, 2007	A Throw of Dice (1929)	100%
2/5	"White also appears to have lost his grip, taking wild stabs at comedy and tragedy and ending up with something that's fractured and fluffy, and definitely not as cute as it thinks it is." -- BBC Posted Aug 31, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	70%
4/5	"The uncertainty of how events will unfold is riveting." -- BBC Posted Aug 29, 2007	Atonement (2007)	83%
3/5	"Michael Winterbottom presents a documentary-style chronicle of events that is completely unsentimental and at the same time full of compassion." -- BBC Posted Aug 29, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
3/5	"The chase is on in brooding western Seraphim Falls, with Liam Neeson gunning for Pierce Brosnan across snowy mountains, river rapids and blazing desert." -- BBC Posted Aug 24, 2007	Seraphim Falls (2007)	54%
4/5	"In the bristling and brutal crime thriller Sugarhouse, Andy Serkis delivers a performance that makes his turn as King Kong look like Johnny Vegas's knitted monkey sidekick." -- BBC Posted Aug 21, 2007	Sugarhouse (2007)	29%
2/5	"A great soundtrack is drowned out by a lot of tedious harping on." -- BBC Posted Aug 14, 2007	Copying Beethoven (2006)	26%
