" A tightly wound, slickly plotted spy comedy." -- Guardian [UK]

Burn After Reading (2008)79%

3/5
 
" Unsuprisingly, Robinson never really gets anywhere either, but her film at least gives a convincing flavour of the time." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)77%
/
3/5
 
" Few film-makers would try anything so definitively personal; Weber doesn't always get away with it, but what emerges here is always interesting. And nicely shot, too." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
A Letter to True (2004)52%
/
4/5
 
" It's the beautifully chiselled dialogue -- counterpointed by near-static camerawork and a nicely mannered acting style -- that remains the chief attraction." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Metropolitan (1990)92%
/
3/5
 
" With no attempt made to even explain the basic rules of Go, this is essentially a study of forehead-kneading concentration, of how to shut out even the most tempestuous of world events." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
The Go Master (2006)64%
/
3/5
 
" Despite the unremitting focus on the claustrophobia of outpost life, it's hard to ignore the by-now hoary tropes of the war movie with which Cedar litters his screenplay." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Beaufort (2008)87%
/
4/5
 
" If you like your dialogue hardboiled, your lighting shadowy, and your femmes fatales preposterously evil, then look no further: Billy Wilder's 1944 adaptation of James M Cain's insurance-scam novella." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
Double Indemnity (1944)98%
/
3/5
 
" A documentary examining the Miami drug wars of the early 1980s in exhaustive - and occasionally nauseating - detail." --

3/5
 
" It's pretty amusing stuff - though it could have been a lot funnier if they had resisted the temptation to shoehorn in quite so many plot twists." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Weirdsville (2007)56%
/
3/5
 
" A feature-film condensation of last year's blockbusting BBC nature series Planet Earth - but, in a somewhat spineless move, it has been shorn of David Attenborough's breathy tones and given instead those of Patrick Stewart." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Earth (2007)100%
/
 
" Dialogue is minimal and events, such as they are, are propelled by a whimsicality characteristic of its era." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 12, 2007
 
Celine and Julie Go Boating (1976)95%
/
3/5
 
" A gentle, unpretentious comedy that posits a why-can't-we-just-get-along approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
The Band's Visit (2007)98%
/
3/5
 
" McGowan is a suitably slinky presence as the lead avenger with a machine gun for a leg; blood and pus regularly fill the screen as Rodriguez lets rip with gleeful abandon." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Planet Terror (2007)77%

" Very gauche stuff." -- Guardian [UK]

The Nanny Diaries (2007)33%
/
2/5
 
" Shaun of the Dead has set the bar pretty high for this sort of thing; Black Sheep just isn't nearly as funny or suspenseful." -- Guardian [UK]

Black Sheep (2007)71%
/
2/5
 
" Neil Jordan ought to be doing more challenging material than this overblown, overwrought thriller that has only obvious points to make about the moral swamp that is urban vigilantism." -- Guardian [UK]

The Brave One (2007)43%

1/5
 
" After two hours of butchered classics, it's just a relief when it's over." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Sep 28, 2007
 
Across the Universe (2007)55%
/
4/5
 
" It's slick, efficient, tough-nosed film-making, enmeshing our hapless hero more and more tightly in its narrative coils. Only a matter of time, surely, before Michael Douglas shows up in the remake." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
The Serpent (2006)85%

" This trip rapidly becomes more about how they interact rather than their gravity defying ball." -- Guardian [UK]

In the Hands of the Gods (2007)85%

4/5
 
" It won the best first film award at Cannes; somehow, it doesn't seem quite substantial enough to justify that accolade." -- Guardian [UK]

Scott Walker: 30th Century Man (2006)92%

" Despite the presence of Wes Craven as a producer, this is really a pretty unscary effort." -- Guardian [UK]

The Breed (2006)15%

2/5
 
" This one experiments with the putatively brain-frying idea of a man who can see two minutes into the future." -- Guardian [UK]

" Like some deformed offspring that's been walled up in an attic for 20 years, this resurrects the spirit of Police Academy." -- Guardian [UK]

The Reaping (2007)9%

" Without Sandler, Reign Over Me would be a gloopy, post-9/11 love-in, making cavalier use of a fine but helpless cast." -- Guardian [UK]

" It hovers on the edge of wordy, stagy self-consciousness, but is rendered watchable by the unlikely chemistry between its two leads." -- Guardian [UK]

3/5
 
" Every frame, you feel, is freighted with the tension imposed by the never-appearing white folks. It was, however, laudable in its desire to showcase the talents of African-American performers who were denied opportunities in Hollywood." -- Guardian [UK]
