3/6	"Overall, though, the film falls just short, due in no small part to unimaginative music selections, which drain its individuality in favour of mere generic arthouse melancholia. " -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	Elegy (2008)	73%
4/6	"A generous, visionary gesture supplanting the communal memory of the site�s unspeakable horrors with an image of human achievement that�s head-spinning, heart-leaping in its absurd purity." -- Time Out Posted Jul 31, 2008	Man on Wire (2008)	100%
3/6	"For all its flaws, it�s a movie-lover�s movie, and clear evidence that Parker should push himself a bit more often." -- Time Out Posted Mar 7, 2008	Fade to Black (2006)	29%
2/6	"Although mounted with no little efficiency by director Pete Travis (who previously made the TV drama-doc �Omagh�), the narrative enterprise actually hides a one-dimensional world view, with civilian casualties mere background set dressing. " -- Time Out Posted Mar 7, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%

1/6	"Skimming through comedy, satire and cautionary tale, it�s all somewhat vague � exasperatingly so when suggestive artiness seems to have been intended. Not as clever as it thinks." -- Time Out Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Good Night (2007)	26%
	"It verges on the cherishably daft." -- Time Out Posted Jan 15, 2008	Edith and Marcel (1983)	n/a
3/6	"Smoothly entertaining fare, but with a bit more nerve it could have been so much more." -- Time Out Posted Jan 11, 2008	Dan in Real Life (2007)	66%
2/6	"With all the will in the world, this is a mere footnote to Attenborough�s distinguished filmography." -- Time Out Posted Dec 28, 2007	Closing the Ring (2007)	29%
1/6	"Quite how this segues into a grand finale defining bathos to the strains of Beethoven almost beggars description, but failed seriousness to this degree of screaming awfulness is choice indeed � unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. " -- Time Out Posted Dec 13, 2007	Chromophobia (2005)	31%
2/6	"This is good-natured, determinedly aspirational African-American entertainment, but did it have to be quite so heavy on the clich�s?" -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
2/6	"Kenneth Branagh�s direction, its self-consciously skewed angles and surveillance-cam cutaways highlighting his weakness for the misplaced flourish, is more of a hindrance than a help. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 21, 2007	Sleuth (2007)	36%
	"Silent-cinema genius he may well have been, but by this time in his career Abel Gance was creatively a shadow of his former self." -- Time Out Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Battle of Austerlitz (1960)	n/a
3/6	"Those undergoing some similar Catholic ferment might tune into its wavelength, otherwise it�s a film to be admired from without, though swathes of choral music (an ill-advised Viscontian foray into Mahler excepted) convey a haunting, sepulchral vibe. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 9, 2007	In Memory of Me (2007)	78%
3/6	"Streep�s impassioned performance exemplifies the seriousness of the stakes, but a lot of liberal hand-wringing, however commendable, does not in itself a movie make. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 8, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
	"A minor but jolly slice of ingenious sleuthery." -- Time Out Posted Nov 1, 2007	Eyes in the Night (1942)	n/a
3/6	"Ultimately, this two-hander feels limited in scale, but frisky and diverting while it�s on." -- Time Out Posted Nov 1, 2007	Interview (2007)	58%
	"A dismally unfunny shambles." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2007	Best Defense (1984)	n/a
	"The director's favourite among his own films." -- Time Out Posted Oct 23, 2007	Enjo (1958)	n/a
1/6	"A total dud." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2007	The Seeker (2007)	13%
4/6	"A deft, original, entertaining and thoughtful look at that moment when we realise the world�s just that bit more complicated than we thought." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2007	Blame it on Fidel (2006)	93%
3/6	"A worthwhile but somewhat underwhelming effort, perhaps too level-headed for its own good." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2007	Rendition (2007)	47%
3/6	"There�s a lovely, fragile movie here; if only Blitz had had the faith to let it stand on its own two feet." -- Time Out Posted Sep 28, 2007	Rocket Science (2007)	84%
3/6	"Beautifully played, the tantalising accretion of mutual understanding between Foster and Howard is one of the film�s strengths, yet the plot machinations required to lever it into position would overstretch credibility in the clunkiest action flick." -- Time Out Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Brave One (2007)	43%
3/6	"A tragic cycle, persuasively rendered in a movie that�s neatly achieved, if small in scale." -- Time Out Posted Sep 21, 2007	Tough Enough (2006)	91%
2/6	"Branagh�s fifth foray into celluloid Shakespeare brings us this rather stodgy version of the Bard�s wise comedy of old Japan." -- Time Out Posted Sep 21, 2007	As You Like It (2006)	31%
3/6	"Not unwatchable, but a distinct let-down, since this crew surely had a more incisive movie in them." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Serpent (2006)	85%
4/6	"The two leads� sparking byplay, Crowe�s addled cockiness versus Bale�s nervy grit, would grace any surroundings, but it�s a pleasure to revisit the frontier in a drama which feels far more vital than mere nostalgic homage." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
	"A real dinosaur." -- Time Out Posted Sep 10, 2007	200 Motels (1971)	67%
3/6	"What should be dreadfully synthetic actually plays as a pleasant time-passer, thanks to a goodly supply of one-liners, and Pegg and Newton�s facility for investing a string of hokey plot devices with genuine warmth. Formulaic, yet disarmingly enjoyable." -- Time Out Posted Sep 7, 2007	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
4/6	"Tense, fascinating, worthwhile." -- Time Out Posted Aug 31, 2007	Breach (2007)	84%
2/6	"Although the writing�s exploration of common humanity across the social divide offers occasional worthwhile moral provocation, its evident theatricality also works against any sense of urban authenticity." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2007	Sugarhouse (2007)	29%
