Tomato 3/5 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"Issues of depth aside, this is as distracting an event movie as there’s been all year. But it’s the stuff of multiplex, not legend." |
Elliott Noble |
Splat 2/5 |
I Can't Think Straight (2008) |
"This one's got it's heart in the right place...but little else to recommend it." |
Tim Evans |
Splat 2/5 |
I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) |
"A sexed-up, dumbed-down romp that can’t decide whether to please undemanding adults, sniggering adolescents or naughty children who shouldn't be watching in the first place." |
Elliott Noble |
Tomato 3/5 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"I Love You, Man may not be original but it's a good-natured dollop of forgettable fun." |
Chris Prince |
Splat 2/5 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"Not so much gay as bloody miserable." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 3/5 |
I P Man (2009) |
"A respectful biopic designed to pay cinematic homage to one of the great kung-fu masters and spread the word about the man." |
Rob Daniel |
Tomato 4/5 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"It’s not your average biopic but it’s unforgettable all the same." |
Anna-Belen Dunlop |
Tomato 4/5 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"This is Scott Thomas’ film, and she commands it with a quiet performance (literally), conveying a range of conflicted emotions through her expressive eyes and gaunt, ashen features." |
Rob Daniel |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"The Ice Age animators, who have always successfully managed to reinvent the series with each fresh instalment - expand their considerable range with this third offering." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ichi |
"With Ran action choreographer Hiroshi Kuze on swordplay duties, the fisticuffs is suitably impressive, with even Ayase not relying too heavily on quick editing." |
Rob Daniel |
Tomato 3/5 |
Igor (2008) |
"Igor is a bit of a Franken-toon itself, stitching grown-up gags to a Disneyfied storyline (beauty is on the inside; don’t step on others to get ahead; yada yada yada) while lurching wildly from one age group to the other." |
Elliott Noble |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) |
"Like the cartoons of Monty Python, the results are weirdly inspired and fitfully amusing but mostly unfathomable. Such is the delirium of Doctor Gilliam." |
Elliott Noble |
Splat 2/5 |
Imagine That (2009) |
"The dubious combination of business, buffoonery and child manipulation makes Imagine That a tough sell." |
Elliott Noble |
Tomato 3/5 |
Import/Export (2009) |
"Veracity and mordant humour are all well and good, but Seidl treads a very fine line between making jokes about being sick and making sick jokes." |
Elliott Noble |
Tomato |
In Bruges (2008) |
"A morality tale with a distictly Coen-ish air, making excellent, occasionally surreal, use of a great location and lacing the comedy with bloody unpleasantness. It even has a quirky score by Coen collaborator Carter Burwell." |
Elliott Noble |
Tomato |
In the Hands of the Gods (2007) |
"That passion does become apparent in the movie’s surprisingly touching climax. How much input the production team had in the outcome is hard to say, but when the tears start rolling down Woody’s cheeks, it’s obvious that this was the Freestylers’ jo" |
Rich Phippen |
Tomato 5/5 |
In the Loop (2009) |
"Few comedies - least of all political parodies - can hope to match the GPM (gags-per-minutes) success of this glorious sideswipe at international diplomacy." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 4/5 |
In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"A sombre condemnation of US foreign policy, wrapped in an absorbing whodunit." |
Elliott Noble |
Splat 2/5 |
Incendiary (2008) |
"Bridget Jones’s (Incend)Diary, Maguire is to be commended for attempting a contemporary terrorist drama, but seems more comfortable in the big-knickered North London fantasy world." |
Rob Daniel |
Tomato 4/5 |
Infinite Justice (2006) |
"Shot on location in London, New York and Karachi, Infinite Justice uses an impressively broad canvas to paint a picture of dangerous fundamentalism and Western opportunism and corruption." |
Rob Daniel |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Informant! (2009) |
"A lightweight yet likeable cross between The Insider and Catch Me If You Can." |
Tim Evans |
Splat 2/5 |
The Informers (2009) |
"It's an empty shell entertaining a nasty streak of misogyny, a single note ensemble piece that's very much less than zero." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 4/5 |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"Tarantino’s finest film since Pulp Fiction." |
Rob Daniel |
Tomato 3/5 |
Inkheart (2009) |
"Gamely played and impressively filmed (in the Liguria area of Italy), it’s good, Saturday matinee-type fun. If it were a book…you couldn’t put it down. Word up." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 3/5 |
The International (2009) |
"After the critical and commercial success of the Bourne series, thriller-makers really have to raise their game…and this doesn’t do the business, save for a couple of brilliant shoot-out setpieces." |
Tim Evans |
Splat |
Interview (2007) |
"As an exercise in preconception-shattering, it works reasonably well. But as the characters veer between petulance and intimacy and back again - often within the same verbal exchange – the situation never really rings true." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"Beautifully shot and perfectly acted, Into The Wild will appeal to anyone who has looked out of the office window and wondered what it’d be like to pack a bag and just start walking." |
Rich Phippen |
Splat 1/5 |
Introducing The Dwights (2007) |
"A story slighter than the froth on top of a tube of Fosters." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Invention of Lying (2009) |
"Gervais pretty much reprises his earlier roles – wheeling out excruciating moments of discomfort – but it’s Garner who’s the comedy revelation here. Skittish, bright and vivacious, she plays her part to perfection." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato 3/5 |
Is Anybody There? (2009) |
"Thought-provoking and quietly impressive, it's not a big movie but it is big-hearted." |
Tim Evans |
Tomato |
The Italian (2007) |
"A stunningly powerful indictment of the weakest in thrall to a corrupt system." |
