3/6
 
" And while it may not teach sprogs anything about insects – these ones have human eyes and four limbs – director Ben Stassen has made a fair fist of portraying the Apollo mission with some accuracy." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Fly Me To The Moon (2008)17%
/
3/6
 
" While most of the deadpan remarks hit the spot, the erratic sketch-like editing and overall slapdash structure give it an air of incompleteness. Fun in parts, slipshod in others." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
The Foot Fist Way (2008)57%
/
4/6
 
" Ultimately, though, it’s the kids’ movie; both Butterfield and Scanlon deliver strong, poignant performances. Just prepare to leave the screening feeling somewhat depressed." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)81%
/
1/6
 
" The result is a series of extraneous, deplorably unfunny scenes and sketches stitched together in completely haphazard fashion." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Disaster Movie (2008)2%
/
1/6
 
" Even with a brief running time, ‘College Road Trip’ is an ordeal that even its target audience will find dispiritingly lame." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
College Road Trip (2008)13%
/
3/6
 
" Jacquet’s golden-hued cautionary tale is beautiful to look at. It’s also accurate in the way the time frame of friendship unfolds, and is spot on in illustrating our tendency to anthropomorphise cute animals." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
The Fox & the Child (2008)47%
/
4/6
 
" Chow’s film is a charming, funny illustration of family life that explores the notion of being given a second chance. A kids’ comedy with a heart." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
CJ7 (2008)51%
/
3/6
 
" I succumbed to the very occasional charms of this fair, good-natured romcom adventure and left the screening in quite a good mood." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Fool's Gold (2008)11%
/
3/6
 
" Tautly mounted, it all looks authentically old fashioned, and there are a few nuggets of amusing dialogue amid the occasional violence, sexual debauchery, political corruption and overall hedonistic atmosphere." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
The Bank Job (2008)78%
/
3/6
 
" Faintly egotistical biologist-turned-filmmaker Rob Stewart spent four years making this investigative doc and the result, despite his tendency towards over-earnest, stoner-esque commentary, is enlightening, shocking and more than a little worrying." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Sharkwater (2007)81%
/
2/6
 
" Bono should refrain from ramming his preachy political meanderings down our throats and let the music do the talking. Even if some of that music becomes a little stultifying." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
U2 3D (2008)92%
/
3/6
 
" Tapping into the primeval fear generated by these perfectly evolved killing machines, the filmmakers ratchet up the tension, while sustaining our interest in the fate of the trio." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 22, 2008
 
Black Water (2007)79%
/
3/6
 
" A fair-to-middling contemporary fantasy drama that, despite its surfeit of flashy effects, is mildly charming in the way it addresses the injustice of old folk having to live out their final years in decrepit homes." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Man in the Chair (2007)50%
/
2/6
 
" Let’s not be too Scrooge-like; there are pockets of charm, and some of the effects are quite good." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)36%
/
4/6
 
" It’s only when the story hits the streets of NYC and Adams starts hamming it up (much like Julie Hagerty did in ‘Airplane’) that we start seeing the fruits of a grand Mickey-take." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Enchanted (2007)93%
/
2/6
 
" Chapman was on a simple, skewed quest for infamy. And he got it. One gathers he’d be chuffed to see this film. And that’s the biggest issue of all." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
The Killing of John Lennon (2008)35%
/
1/6
 
" There’s a cool opening credits sequence, but beyond that ‘Hitman’ doesn’t make much sense, is encumbered by clunky dialogue, some amateurish performances and clichéd set-pieces we’ve seen umpteen times before." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 29, 2007
 
Hitman (2007)15%
/
5/6
 
" Whether it’s a crisp aerial shot of a wolf taking down a caribou, night footage of lions tackling an elephant, there isn’t a moment that doesn’t fill one with awe." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 14, 2007
 
Earth (2007)100%
/
2/6
 
" This is seedy, morally defunct, low-IQ cinema for airheads: it’s toe-curlingly violent and mostly plain nasty, but quite fun in a debauched kind of way." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Shoot 'Em Up (2007)66%
/
3/6
 
" The overweight middle section is repetitive, contrived and, well, boring. But at least the views are spectacular and Brosnan, especially, is likeably quirky." -- Time Out
