Tomato 3/5 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"The film gets three stars because it’s such an impressive production – and of course the soundtrack kicks – but it’ll still probably leave you feeling strangely cold." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"Probably more one for arthouse fans, Lady Chatterley lingers in the mind not because of all that nudity – and there’s a lot – but because it’s so beautifully made." |
David Edwards |
Splat 1/5 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"There are so many things wrong with Lady that there just isn't enough space to go into them here." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"The first hour will test the patience of all but diehard fans of the genre, flipping randomly through time before things settle down for a final 50 minutes examining the ethics of revenge." |
David Edwards |
Splat |
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) |
"If you’re one of those devils who wears Prada, seek it out. If your jeans don’t come with designer labels, you’re advised to look elsewhere." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Lake House (2006) |
"A movie that's trying with all its might to be an earnest, poignant relationship drama, yet it fails at each and every turn thanks to zero chemistry between its leads and the complete absence of a coherent plot." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"Having an angry Samuel L Jackson as your nasty neighbour would be anybody's idea of bad news. Tense and terrifying, this is a smart thriller." |
Mark Adams |
Splat 2/5 |
Land of the Lost (2009) |
"The crude humour is as unfunny as it is ill-judged. Set to become a favourite of bad movie clubs everywhere." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"While not the most believable of screen couples, the pair's acting chops mean you won't notice that too much while the plot chugs along at a reasonable pace, helped by some occasionally amusing gags." |

The Last House on the Left (2009) |
"Predictable, pointless and pathetic." |

The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"It seems certain Whitaker will get that Oscar nod for superbly conveying Amin’s weird mix of buffoonery and cold-bloodedness." |

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Lemon Tree (2008) |
"It’s a neat microcosm of the conflict, although a touch manipulative with the sympathies lying a little too heavily on the side of the Palestinians, with Salma a stoic, saintly presence and her neighbour merely an arrogant bully." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 5/5 |
Let the Right One In (2008) |
"The fact that it doesn't feel like a vampire flick at all makes it one of the best of its kind." |
David Edwards |
Splat |
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"For a film with such high Oscar hopes, you’ll leave the cinema wondering what all the fuss is about." |

License To Wed (2007) |

Splat 2/5 |
The Life Before Her Eyes (2008) |
"Flitting back and forth in time, it's too confusing to entertain, while Wood and Thurman look nothing like one another, making for a disjointed and often dire experience." |

Life in a... Metro (2007) |

The Limits of Control (2009) |
"Jarmusch gives us a film designed to test the limits of our patience." |
David Edwards |
Tomato |
Lions for Lambs (2007) |
"After Rendition, The Kingdom and Babel skirted around the issue, here, at last, is a film brave enough to question the whys and wherefores of the War On Terror. As such, it’s not just an absorbing movie, but an extremely brave one, too." |
Dave Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Little Ashes (2009) |
"Little Ashes is an arthouse film filled with bare bottoms, full-frontal nudity and gay passion. You can practically hear Pattinson's army of girl fans weeping into their popcorn." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Little Children (2006) |
"Little Children is a movie that defies easy categorisation. It’s not quite a drama, not quite a love story, not quite a black comedy but rather a little of all three rolled together." |

Little Man (2006) |
"Slow-moving, tasteless and totally devoid of ingenuity or charisma, this is a gross one-joke monstrosity - and that joke wasn’t very funny in the first place." |

Live! (2007) |
"Mendes (best known as Will Smith’s love interest in Hitch) is enjoyably poisonous, making Live! just about worth catching." |

Looking for Eric (2009) |
"A big-hearted, earthy and highly amusing comedy, it's compassionate, feelgood fare of the very first order." |

Tomato 4/5 |
The Lookout (2007) |
"The Lookout drags itself into four star territory thanks to the startling turn from Gordon-Levitt – a name to, ahem, look out for." |

Lorna's Silence (2009) |
"An Albanian immigrant is forced into an impossible dilemma in a bleak Belgian drama relieved only by a strong performance from its leading lady. Everything else is pretty soul crushing." |

Lou Reed's Berlin (2008) |
"Reed, who's looking more and more like a Bond villain, comes close to smiling at one point, although the chances are you won't." |

The Love Guru (2008) |
"When not finding new names for willies, Myers – who also wrote the script – devotes the rest of the time to pitiful one-liners revolving around farting, snot and diarrhoea." |

Splat 2/5 |
Love Happens (2009) |
"In Jennifer Aniston's latest feeble romantic drama, almost nothing happens. Certainly not love or, indeed, much in the way of excitement." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Lucky You (2007) |
"Although Lucky You was made nearly two years ago, it seems Warner Brothers didn’t quite know what to do with it, hence it being quietly slipped out in a quiet week between blockbusters. Maybe they hoped nobody would notice." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lust, Caution (2007) |
"Unfortunately, the scenes between the sex and violence, while beautiful, will test your patience." |
