"You know something ain’t kosher when a movie purporting to offer a critique of sadistic voyeurism opens with a hand-rubbing scene of kitten abuse." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/
2/6
 
"Aficionados will appreciate the po-faced wordplay and self-consciously gnarled-up aesthetic (missing reels, bad syncing, etc) as much as the fleshy centrepieces and gross-out grace notes. Others will struggle to find much appeal." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Planet Terror (2007)77%
/
2/6
 
"Making soap of statecraft, the film has plenty of juicy moments, but offers an inconsistent rather than complex view of Elizabeth." -- Time Out

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)34%

"The focus is solidly on the human cost borne by those serving their country and their families." -- Time Out

War (2007)14%

3/6
 
"It’s inanely-scripted exploitation, sure, but this ‘Halloween’ doesn’t trivialise; it even returns with sympathy to one victim minutes after the attack that has left her bleeding on the floor." -- Time Out

Halloween (2007)26%

3/6
 
"Smart attention is paid to some interesting tensions between old and new in areas as varied as pop culture, photography, effects work, automobile construction, telephony and audio recording technology." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Death Proof (2007)61%
/
4/6
 
"‘Superbad’ at its best goes right through knockabout to land in deliciously obscene places – notably a staggering succession of doodles in which tumescent cocks take on various extraordinary guises." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Superbad (2007)87%
/
5/6
 
"The year’s best comedy; one that confirms the arrival of an extended group of talent that looks set to take the studio comedy crown from the likes of Ferrell, Stiller and Carrey." -- Time Out

"Though not as scabrous, as sharp or even as musically memorable as John Waters’ original, it retains much of his filthy, big-hearted sensibility." -- Time Out

Hairspray (2007)91%
/
2/6
 
"Unfortunately, ‘Romper Stomper’ director Geoffrey Wright’s take on the play fails to do it justice: both lumpen and flashy, it convinces neither as drama nor as stylistic exercise." -- Time Out

Macbeth (2007)46%

"A scientific context is offered by interviews with researchers expounding modes of intergalactic travel, but the real pleasures are in the organic beauty of deep spaces and the ambiguous position of the humans suspended in them." -- Time Out

"The tone is ultimately more subdued than your average superhero movie. Kudos to Raimi for making it feel justified." -- Time Out
Posted May 4, 2007
 
Spider-Man 3 (2007)61%

"Despite their lackadaisical impression, the pictures are quite tightly structured: each scene covers emotional and narrative distance. Funny, forgiving, credible and deft, they offer much to appreciate." -- Time Out
Posted May 3, 2007
 
Mutual Appreciation (2006)88%

"Jordan’s film is a glorious visual achievement in its own right, as well as part of the rancorous ongoing dispute over Smith’s legacy." -- Time Out

"It’s a celebration of cinema-going as a ‘ritual experience or trip’, a communal adventure with no real equivalent in the exquisitely atomised YouTubeverse." -- Time Out
