Tomato
3/5

'Tis Autumn - The Search for Jackie Paris (2007)

"Beginning as dreary jazz hagiography but ending as unflinching personal investigation."

Kevin Maher

Tomato
3/5

1 Day

"It’s propulsive stuff that credibly mixes social realism with bursts of musical energy. Just occasionally, though, the movie falls for the gangland glamour — loving shots of guns, cars and posturing bad boys — it claims to despise."

Kevin Maher

Splat
2/5

10,000 B.C. (2008)

"Don't expect Roland Emmerich's 10,000BC to make much sense, historically, geographically or logically."

Wendy Ide

Splat
2/5

12 Rounds (2009)

"A lunk-headed, brawling action movie with more muscle than brains and the kind of editing that feels like being repeatedly shot in the eyes with a staple gun."

Wendy Ide

Tomato
4/5

12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)

"Beautifully observed and very funny, this film is a real treat."

Wendy Ide

Splat
3/5

13 Going on 30 (2004)

"The greatest asset is Garner, who invests Jenna with disarming winsomeness and loads of klutzy teen-like charm"

Ian Johns

Tomato
4/5

1408 (2007)

"Even if by the closing act the movie has begun to feel a bit preposterous (enter the giant sea storm) and the resolution a bit saccharine, that’s a small price to pay for a movie that’s trying hard to reinvent horror the old-fashioned way."

Kevin Maher

Tomato
3/5

17 Again (2009)

"Amusing, wholesome fun for young teenage swooners who will squirm with horror at the adults who ought to know better."

James Christopher

Tomato
4/5

2 Days In Paris (2007)

"The news that the 38-year-old gamine has not only directed Two Days in Paris but produced, written, edited, written the music for and starred in it might be slightly terrifying to all but Delpy obsessives. But it’s great."

Kevin Maher

Splat
2/5

2012 (2009)

"2012, a near three-hour movie built entirely out of special effects set pieces and join-the-dots characterisation."

Kevin Maher

Tomato

2046 (2005)

"Wong's languid direction will not be to everyone's taste, but the acting is impeccable and the film looks staggering, a perfectly sumptuous waking dream."

Howard Swains

Splat
2/5

20th Century Boys (2008)

"It’s mildly interesting but inelegantly structured, unfolding through a mess of flashbacks and shocking overacting."

Wendy Ide

Splat
2/5

27 Dresses (2008)

"The story requires an antagonist, so Jane’s sister is painted as a monster for most of the film. At the end, however, she is reshaped as Jane’s close friend and confidante. The film’s credibility crumbles like stale wedding cake."

Wendy Ide

Splat
3/5

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"The film rapidly degenerates into an Escape From Canary Wharf video game."

James Christopher

Tomato
3/5

28 Weeks Later (2007)

"28 Weeks Later is a blockbuster horror that chimes noisily with local fears: immigration, needy strangers, feral disease and Draconian laws."

James Christopher

Splat
2/5

30 Days of Night (2007)

"30 Days of Night has a striking comic-book aesthetic and macabre sense of fun – if your sense of fun includes watching a vampire turned into pâté in the gnashing metal jaws of a rubbish processor."

Wendy Ide

Tomato
3/5

300 (2007)

"In this handsome pantomime, the performances are not what we are watching."

Wendy Ide

Splat
1/5

31 North 62 East (2009)

"The storyline is hackneyed and nonsensical, as if Loraine had plucked clichés from episodes of The Professionals and strung them together."

Toby Young

Tomato
4/5

35 Shots of Rum (2009)

"The magic of Claire Denis’s exquisite 35 Shots of Rum is that although so much is left unsaid, it’s one of the most emotionally eloquent films you’ll see this year."

Wendy Ide

Tomato
4/5

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

"A remake of a 1957 movie starring Glenn Ford, Yuma’s pacing may owe something to the contemporary action movie, but the themes are age-old: redemption, morality and the lure of the lawless wilderness and of the killers who call it home."

Wendy Ide

Tomato
5/5

The 400 Blows (1959)

"Distinguished by its naturalistic, quasi-documentary approach and an extraordinary central performance from the 12-year-old Jean-Pierre Léaud, this is a blisteringly authentic story."

Wendy Ide

Splat

5 Children and It (2004)

"Five posh First World War sprogs are despatched to Uncle Kenneth Branagh’s Gothic pile in a Devon nook. It's a ghastly film"

James Christopher

Tomato
3/5

500 Days of Summer (2009)

"It is hardly the freshest romantic comedy of the past 20 years. Taking the best bits from other movies and rearranging them in a non-linear sequence does not make for an original film."

Toby Young

Splat
1/5

88 Minutes (2008)

"Interestingly, the more overblown and insincere a performance Pacino delivers in a film, the more self-important and bouffant his hair gets. Here, it’s so towering it takes up 90 per cent of the screen."

Wendy Ide

Splat
2/5

9 (2009)

"It looks great, but sadly the screenplay — in particular the stultifying dialogue — simply can’t match the visual inventiveness."

Wendy Ide

Splat

9 Songs (2005)

"The sex is, in fact, the least intimate, least engaging part of the movie."

Holden Frith
