A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006) |
|
"An informative and unashamedly apocalyptic documentary about the world’s obsession with oil that makes An Inconvenient Truth look positively chipper." | |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |

Across the Universe (2007) |

Against the Ropes (2003) |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
|
"Despite the film’s admirable brevity it’s still hard to maintain a wry ironic grin for a full 81 minutes." | |

Alfie (2004) |
|
"Jude Law plays the limousine taxi driver like a sex-mad Alan Whicker, whisking us around the hot spots of Manhattan with a sardonic eye on the best places to pick up chicks" | |

Alpha Dog (2007) |
|
"True, Alpha Dog is a film with no manners. But it has great nerve. What’s truly impressive is how the splintered story is buried by individual performances." | |

American Gangster (2007) |
|
"A cocksure upstart that has swaggered onto the scene, confident that it can take its place at the table with the big boys." | |

Anna M. (2007) |
|
"Writer-director Michel Spinosa, harnessing a powerhouse central performance from Carré, has managed to hit the ground between giddy Hollywood thriller and brooding arthouse character piece." | |

Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
|
"The only thing in Steve Carr’s fatuous movie that earns a few giggles is John C McGinley’s silliness as a new-age builder." | |

As You Like It (2006) |
|
"Faced with As You Like It, one of the Bard’s more tiresome plays, Branagh’s direction loses conviction and his storytelling lacks the engaging enthusiasm of his previous Shakespeares." | |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
|
"Andrew Dominik’s sensational film debags a cherished idol. Tyrone Power, Robert Wagner and Roy Rogers famously played Jesse James like Robin Hood. Brad Pitt plays him like a poisonous Mr Hyde." | |
James Christopher | |

Atonement (2007) |

August Rush (2007) |
|
"A show-stopping compendium of clichés, bogus emotions, duff dialogue and cringeworthy performances. Yet it’s so naively idiotic that it’s hard to hate. Better just to ignore it." | |
