4/5	"The tension dips occasionally but stick with it and you'll be richly rewarded." -- Empire Magazine Australasia Posted Aug 18, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
4/5	"This portrait of former US President Jimmy Carter could come across as propaganda. Director Jonathan Demme clearly has an admiration for his subject." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	78%
2/5	"Alex Pettyfer is even more wooden than he was in Stormbreaker � for heaven's sake, he's not even that good-looking. And the story's utter tosh." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	Wild Child (2008)	20%
3/5	"It helps that this is Sandler's least irritating comedy role: instead of being a whiny misfit, he's a local hero who becomes a fish out of water � Crocodile Dundee with a bouffant mullet." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2/5	"It's nothing spectacular but it's fair family entertainment and should fill the gaps for Star Wars fanatics - or make them furiously pedantic. Either way they'll be happy." -- Metro [UK] Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	17%
4/6	"Adams is adorable as the wide-eyed would-be starlet, with McDormand spot-on as the sensible half of the odd couple. A delightfully frivolous screwball comedy." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	77%
2/5	"Clumsy direction means most jokes fall flatter than the paper-thin plot." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 15, 2008	Wild Child (2008)	20%
3/5	"A pleasant, frothy period confection that's as decorative and insubstantial as Zeta Jones's character." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Aug 8, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	46%
3/5	"Despite the confused tone and underwhelming romance, this pretty little picture entertains in the main thanks to the intriguing subject matter and top turns from Zeta-Jones and Ronan." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 8, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	46%
3/5	"The symbolism can be heavy-handed, but the inexperienced actors are engaging." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 22, 2008	Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame (2007)	89%
	"Fails to make the most of its source material by trimming Shakespeare's plot and squeezing it into a vacuous high school comedy." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jul 6, 2008	She's The Man (2006)	44%
1.5/5	"Is this meant to be dark comedy? It's hard to tell." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 25, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
	"A modest, relatively low-budget affair graced with strong stars and sharp dialogue." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 25, 2008	Rory O'Shea Was Here (2005)	49%
2/5	"With its emphasis on love at first sight, the central romance is contrived, but the excellent cast do engage." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Waiting Room (2007)	n/a
2.5/5	"As a broad family comedy this is perfectly acceptable, but from a sci-fi point of view it's a very pale imitation of the time travel classics it seeks to ape." -- Channel 4 Film Posted May 30, 2008	Click (2006)	31%
	"There's a distinct lack of chemistry here and a strong whiff of moral sermonizing that undermines the romantic impact." -- Channel 4 Film Posted May 29, 2008	Spanglish (2004)	52%
4/5	"A revealing portrait of a ground-breaking band." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 2, 2008	Joy Division (2006)	n/a
2/5	"A strong opening, bursting with wit and vigour, gives way to a predictable, patronising and immensely lazy second half. Could have been so much more." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 29, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
4/5	"The predominantly black-and-white animation is used to amusing effect as Satrapi gently pokes fun at her youthful exuberance and innocence, making serious political points easy to swallow. The lack of sense of direction is the film's only let-down." -- BBC Posted Apr 25, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	96%
4/5	"Russell Brand is, for once, well cast in the role of vague, vain singer Aldous, who's also the object of obsession for a waiter and aspiring musician in the Hawaiian resort." -- BBC Posted Apr 25, 2008	Bandit Queen (1994)	100%
2/5	"Interesting, but messy." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 21, 2008	Three and Out (2008)	20%
4/5	"An improvisational comedy drama, it's very funny and establishes Hawkins as a major talent to watch." -- BBC Posted Apr 18, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
3/5	"A cheerfully frothy romantic comedy that benefits from sharp writing, lively performances and touching characterisation." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Apr 15, 2008	Bridget Jones' Diary (2001)	80%
1/5	"After a panning in the States, The Hottie And The Nottie is being promoted as one of the worst-reviewed films ever." -- BBC Posted Mar 28, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
2/6	"�Drillbit Taylor� is a bit of a giggle, but it lacks bite and direction: even the old prom showdown routine would have enlivened this aimless comedy." -- Time Out Posted Mar 27, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
3/6	"hops along merrily enough thanks to an engaging turn from Heigl, who�s nailed the unusually-pretty-girl-next-door act while embracing physical and risqu� comedy." -- Time Out Posted Mar 27, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
3/5	"The humour's lively and just irreverent enough to make you laugh without offending your mum." -- BBC Posted Mar 25, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
2/5	"It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 20, 2008	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	24%
2/5	"It suffers from a real lack of charisma, still the dance bits are good." -- Empire Magazine Australasia Posted Mar 19, 2008	Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)	24%
4/5	"The daily grind of a Brick Lane Bangladeshi is credibly brought to life in this sensitive and intelligent adaptation of Monica Ali�s novel." -- Empire Magazine Australasia Posted Mar 19, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	65%
2/5	"French drama The Flight Of The Red Balloon has been praised at film festivals, but it's likely to divide audiences less tolerant of arthouse minimalism." -- BBC Posted Mar 14, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	79%
2/5	"It's an endearing enough idea but the film's dark side undermines the charming set-up." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 14, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	44%
2/5	"Despite its cheesy story, The Game Plan has one major trump card: The Rock is actually quite good." -- BBC Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
2/6	"Johnson�s amiable performance makes this watchable for the target audience; namely sporty daddies and spoiled little girls primed to assimilate their lives into the Disney brand." -- Time Out Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
2/5	"Semi-Pro is no disaster, but debut director Kent Alterman proves that Ferrell is better off working with the pros." -- BBC Posted Feb 28, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
	"Superb performances and a gripping retrospective plotline make this tough cookie an entertaining one, even if its adult story strand is weighed down with vagaries." -- Channel 4 Film Posted Feb 27, 2008	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	75%
3/5	"The playlist alone with thrill fans, but while spectacular, the 3D element still can't replicate the feeling of a live gig." -- BBC Posted Feb 19, 2008	U2 3D (2008)	92%
2/5	"Despite the talent on show, there's little to distinguish this from any other bland family comedy." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 1, 2008	Underdog (2007)	14%
4/5	"A challenging yet rewarding watch." -- BBC Posted Jan 4, 2008	The Violin (2007)	94%
3/5	"It's just a shame the script doesn't push the humour further; brief, amusing put-downs aren't quite enough to make this a bonafide comedy. But if you're looking for a well-performed drama about dementia, you've got it." -- BBC Posted Jan 1, 2008	The Savages (2007)	91%
2/5	"Fun musical numbers and cartoonish humour give way to a bland sermon about the evils of the music industry." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 20, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
3/5	"A Comedy Of Power fails to dig deep into this idea, or into the life of its protagonist. It's largely left to the charismatic Huppert to make this sly but oddly slight drama a decent watch." -- BBC Posted Dec 13, 2007	Comedy of Power (2005)	80%
3/5	"A lengthy ensemble piece that's emotionally distant but rarely dull." -- BBC Posted Dec 13, 2007	Chromophobia (2005)	31%
2/5	"Don't expect realism from this frothy little number, but do expect a bit of heart-warming cheer courtesy of romantic unions, overcome prejudices, reconciled enemies and general peace and understanding." -- BBC Posted Nov 29, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
2/5	"Student horror fans may find this worth a giggle, but it's not the nail-biting experience the trailers promise." -- BBC Posted Nov 23, 2007	Shrooms (2006)	19%
2/5	"*A flat story, lean characters and a miscast lead make this a poor facsimile of period epics like Farewell My Concubine." -- Empire Magazine* Posted Nov 23, 2007	Silk (2007)	8%
4/5	"The daily grind of a Brick Lane Bangladeshi is credibly brought to life in this sensitive and intelligent adaptation of Monica Ali�s novel." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 14, 2007	Brick Lane (2008)	65%
3/6	"Just fine in a sentimental, mainstream kind of way. Although by constantly referencing Austen�s sharp wit and characterisation, this can only ever come up short in comparison." -- Time Out Posted Nov 14, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
1/6	"The script is so reliant on wish-fulfillment it forgets to add those important little touches: you know, wit, sincerity, characterisation, that kind of thing� A very cheap shot � and hardly anyone calls him �Chuck�." -- Time Out Posted Nov 9, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
2/5	"Political comedy morphs into attempted thriller in this confused, fitfully entertaining film." -- BBC Posted Nov 2, 2007	Man of the Year (2006)	20%
