Cremaster 3 (2002)62%

In the Cut (2003)33%

"There's a simple philosophy behind a movie like this: Add more squishing, add more screaming, and it'll be better. Or at least it'll make more money." -- UK Critic

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)37%
/
4/4
 
"It should have been the movie where Hughes got Oscar nominations; the Academy weren't going to award his comedies, but here is where he showed he could branch out and grow up." -- UK Critic

She's Having a Baby (1988)50%

"The Bad Boys movies are supposed to be about two cops, but all I see is a pair of actors reading descriptions of their characters." -- UK Critic

Bad Boys II (2003)24%

"The astonishing achievement of Underworld is that it's a movie without a single good moment, and they still managed to make one helluva trailer." -- UK Critic

Underworld (2003)30%
/
4/4
 
"The dialogue of Preston Sturges shoots and shoots, never seems to miss, and convinces you of its genius in around about a minute." -- UK Critic

Hail the Conquering Hero (1944)100%
/
4/4
 
"Has all the coolness and daring and wit through which Tarantino made his name. It delivers what we expected, and packs some shocking punches on top." -- UK Critic

2/4
 
"There is a charm about the movie's crazy camera angles and insistence on grabbing for silly visual jokes, but you can't quite call it a success." -- UK Critic
Posted Oct 12, 2003
 
Ichi the Killer (2002)66%
/
2/4
 
"The backdrop is snatching at random political significance, and the plot just turns into a stupid and pointless comedy of errors." -- UK Critic

Good Bye, Lenin! (2004)89%
/

"Matchstick Men is a lot more engaging than a circular argument, but it's about as frustrating." -- UK Critic

Matchstick Men (2003)82%
/
2.5/4
 
"It tries a valiant effort to be smart and edgy, and feels like something that's always edging at greatness but never quite managing to break on through." -- UK Critic
Posted Oct 12, 2003
 
Gigli (2003)6%
/
4/4
 
"One of the great popular entertainments of our time, a film that still has a place on the top 40 list of American box-office champs, and continues to look slick and full of energy almost twenty years after opening." -- UK Critic

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)83%

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)23%
/
1/4
