3/6	"Regrettably, the film�s intended air of melancholy is all but annulled by Bertoglio�s wan, haughty and utterly pretentious narration about how wonderful New York was at that time. " -- Time Out Posted Aug 22, 2008	Face Addict (2008)	30%
5/6	"First-time director Esther Robinson proves that a dash of subjectivity in documentary isn�t always a bad thing, showing a remarkable clarity of vision and thirst for knowledge in her superb �A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory�." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)	76%
3/6	"Morgan Neville�s �The Cool School� is a slickly packaged document of the burgeoning modern art scene in LA during the late �50s and early �60s which sadly submerges its fascinating subject matter in technical clutter and contrived set-ups." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	Cool School: How L.A. Learned to Love Modern Art (2008)	91%
2/6	"Another sloppily concocted and naggingly non-controversial pretext for Sandler to pelvic thrust his way though a succession of increasingly wacky fish-out-of-water situations." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2/6	"It�s a dull, if competently made, film, which is done no favours by its earnest tone, a soppy orchestral score and a slew of artificial performances by actors clinging far too tightly to their lines. It would be far better suited to daytime TV. " -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	Little Box of Sweets (2006)	50%
4/6	"Crump�s film colourfully depicts Wagstaff�s complex inner mindset and rarefied eye for imagery by allowing the stunning prints to linger on the screen. " -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	Black White + Gray: A Portrait Of Sam Wagstaff And Robert Mapplethorpe (2007)	82%
2/6	"It is impressively made, but leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. " -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	Elite Squad (2008)	58%
4/6	"Blindsight is a great example of the emotional dividends that careful photography, sensitive editing and an atmospheric score can deliver." -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	98%
1/6	"Making the farcical tenor of the recent Indiana Jones film feel like a paragon of dramatic and archaeological integrity, this phoned-in action threequel doesn�t even have the good grace to deliver on its title and feature any mummies" -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	11%
3/6	"Though the narrative is saggy and you feel there�s nowhere left to go after the first hour, a much-needed dash of class from Jon S Baird�s direction helps lift �Cass� above its oft-reactionary genre brethren. " -- Time Out Posted Jul 31, 2008	Cass (2008)	50%
4/6	"Overall an emotionally rich and tender film, beautifully played, with heart and head in massive abundance. " -- Time Out Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Pope's Toilet (2007)	83%
1/6	"They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Well �they� obviously haven�t seen �The Love Guru�, an overgrown dirt-patch of clunking juvenilia." -- Time Out Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Love Guru (2008)	14%
No Rating	"Overall an emotionally rich and tender film, beautifully played, with heart and head in massive abundance. " -- Time Out Posted Jul 31, 2008	El Bano Del Papa (2008)	n/a

2/6	"This is cinema for people who slow down at car wrecks." -- Time Out Posted Jun 26, 2008	Wanted (2008)	73%
4/6	"You could hardly call it a paragon of impartial filmmaking, but this is still a compelling and immersive glance into the nature of competitiveness and the corrupting aspects of fame. " -- Time Out Posted Jun 5, 2008	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
3/6	"*Light on both CGI and moral quandaries, [it posesses] neither the zip and sparkle of a Spider-Man* nor the brooding existential subtexts of Batman Begins.*" -- Time Out* Posted Apr 25, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
3/6	"Simon DaVison�s loopy labour of love succeeds where other offerings of pure homage (most recently �Grindhouse�) failed. " -- Time Out Posted Apr 18, 2008	Captain Eager and the Mark of Voth (2008)	11%
1/6	"A stark yet comforting reminder that cold, hard cash is no substitute for cold, hard talent. �The Hottie and the Nottie� is an execrable Z-grade eugenics parable moonlighting as a sexy, disposable date movie." -- Time Out Posted Mar 28, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
5/6	"An exceptional piece of filmmaking, intricate, elaborate and exuding warmth and wisdom from its every frame." -- Time Out Posted Mar 14, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	79%
2/6	"�Semi-Pro� resorts to the bombast of brash �infotainment� news and sports programming to mine its humour." -- Time Out Posted Feb 28, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
2/6	"It�s rimshots all the way in this unexceptional Will Ferrell basketball comedy." -- Time Out Posted Feb 26, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
2/6	"90 minutes of violence. No more, no less." -- Time Out Posted Feb 22, 2008	Rambo (2008)	36%
5/6	"The magnitude of Gondry�s visual ingenuity is consistently jaw-dropping." -- Time Out Posted Feb 22, 2008	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	67%
4/6	"Andrei Kravchuk�s film is sensitive to the hilt and pleasingly attuned to the guileless outlook of its hero." -- Time Out Posted Jan 24, 2008	The Italian (2007)	91%
3/6	"The one area where �Walk Hard� does manage to hold its own against classics of the genre such as �This is Spinal Tap� or �Sweet and Lowdown� is the music, all of which is expertly written and performed." -- Time Out Posted Jan 18, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
4/6	"A slightly meandering build-up is saved by a second half that really cooks, with Vargas ratcheting up the tension by flirting with genre convention in order to deal with Plutarco�s unconventional psychological stand-off with a malodorous Captain." -- Time Out Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Violin (2007)	94%
3/6	"Passes the time, but undoutedly one for the little �uns." -- Time Out Posted Dec 13, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
1/6	"Do anything: rob a petrol station, superglue your eyelids together, chew on broken glass, just avoid at all costs. " -- Time Out Posted Dec 7, 2007	Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)	4%
2/6	"This overreaching, Lynch-lite comic drama is the mediocre directorial debut of screenwriter John August (�Charlie�s Angels�, �Big Fish�) and, if nothing else, demonstrates why some writers should stick to their laptops. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2007	The Nines (2007)	69%
2/6	"Opportunities to comment on the ethical grey areas of suicide are mostly squandered and, as the pointless digressions begin to pile up, your mind begins to drift from the action on screen." -- Time Out Posted Nov 22, 2007	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	65%
4/6	"A brave, thoughtful documentary." -- Time Out Posted Nov 22, 2007	Jesus Camp (2006)	88%
3/6	"A decent Parisian thriller that rides on the tails of a calling-card turn from Isabelle Carr� as a lovelorn stalker-cum-social-menace who falls in love with her doctor." -- Time Out Posted Nov 14, 2007	Anna M. (2007)	62%
2/6	"The paper-thin characters make it feel less like a rounded feature and more like a TV pilot with the promise of more adventures to come. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 14, 2007	Weirdsville (2007)	56%
3/6	"A nuts-and-bolts document of the annual Air Guitar World Championships which take place in the rural outpost of Oulu in Finland. " -- Time Out Posted Nov 9, 2007	Air Guitar Nation (2007)	83%
4/6	"With its themes of social displacement subtly and skilfully enmeshed within a pleasingly straightforward shaggy-dog narrative, this is one of those films that runs at you with open arms, and you�ll find it very difficult not to succumb." -- Time Out Posted Nov 8, 2007	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
3/6	"The photography is of the sort you�d find in any half decent nature documentary, with cloying emphasis placed firmly (and sometimes clumsily) on the idea that our neglectful, selfish and not to mention rampantly capitalist ways are destroying the planet." -- Time Out Posted Nov 8, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
4/6	"Christopher Lee�s Dracula is a menacing and complex presence who never lets his fangs and cape dominate." -- Time Out Posted Nov 1, 2007	Horror of Dracula (1958)	87%
3/6	"Sure, the rage is palpable in every cell, but poise and rational thinking are sadly lacking." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2007	Princess (2007)	55%
3/6	"The film�s best moment by far comes from Eddie�s under-the-thumb buddy Mac (Rob Corddry), who advises that the key to a healthy marriage is to �plaster on a smile and wait patiently for the sweet embrace of death�." -- Time Out Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Heartbreak Kid (2007)	30%
3/5	"It�s a slow, sometimes grating process for an hour or so, but once everyone wises up to their shared heritage, a euphoric celebration of what it means to be a gypsy takes flight." -- Total Film Posted Sep 28, 2007	Gypsy Caravan (2006)	86%
2/5	"Done no favours by its camera-phone aesthetic, Tough Enough doesn�t have much of a sell-by date." -- Total Film Posted Sep 21, 2007	Tough Enough (2006)	91%
1/5	"A waste of time. A waste of celluloid. A waste of talent." -- Little White Lies Posted Sep 21, 2007	Death Proof (2007)	61%
4/6	"An expertly crafted thriller which offers a pessimistic, though deeply rewarding, glimpse of a society being haunted by its own past." -- Time Out Posted Sep 21, 2007	Yella (2008)	78%
2/5	"Buckling under the weight of its own hubris, the potentially scandalous premise ends up feeling like a Dan Brown knock-off." -- Total Film Posted Sep 14, 2007	A Few Days in September (2006)	47%
	"Duff addition to the ever-expanding canon of 9/11 movies." -- Little White Lies Posted Sep 14, 2007	A Few Days in September (2006)	47%
2/6	"The film�s teary-eyed conclusion is clearly intended to have you punching the air in elation, but the message it delivers will actually leave you feeling quite cold." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	In the Hands of the Gods (2007)	85%
3/6	"Despite its undeniable thematic richness, �Legacy� marks a slight return for Georgian director G�la Babluani." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Legacy (2006)	50%
2/6	"With its series of tonally awkward plot developments which seem to have been engineered specifically to meet Radcliffe�s various portfolio needs, the best that could be said of this is that the actor�s next move should be to talk to his agent." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	December Boys (2007)	43%
2/6	"An intriguing set-up spoiled by a clever-clever script, Christophe Beaucarne�s migraine-inducing cinematography and performances which are decent, but never gel." -- Time Out Posted Sep 14, 2007	A Few Days in September (2006)	47%
