A Throw of Dice (1929) |
|
"Osten's film, which features more than 10,000 extras and 1,000 horses, is as excessive and beautiful as any scene from Antony and Cleopatra or Ben-Hur." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"Across the Universe is much too literal-minded to be the far-out, visionary folly she may have intended – not so much cinema on LSD as the ravings of an earnest hippie in a recovery programme." | |

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) |
|
"At best the movie's an unpretentious pile-up of B-movie clichés, but why "Requiem"? Time to give it a rest now." | |

All About Eve (1950) |
|
"The peerless tale of two rival drama queens, playing as the central attraction in the BFI Southbank's Joseph L Mankiewicz season, and rightly so." | |

American Gangster (2007) |
|
"Scott is something of a romantic at heart. His film is nowhere near as jaded or as hard-bitten as the '70s films such as The French Connection or Serpico that it hopes to echo." | |

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
|
"Above all, there's the sense of immersion in a world of harsh beauty whose time is running out. It's to be hoped that non-American audiences embrace this film: it's one of the year's very best." | |

Away From Her (2007) |
