Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten 2/5	Rotten 57%	The Invention of Lying (2009)	" A promising premise about the machinations of the sole liar in a world without deception sputters out way too soon." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 17, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 69%	Fido (2007)	" Andrew Currie�s genial zombie comedy freshens up some familiar genre elements with considerable style and wit." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Nov 4, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 61%	Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (2008)	" The stuff between goals can be agonizingly dull, but the film�s sensory impact is heightened by Mogwai�s menacing score and Darius Khondji�s dazzling cinematography." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Oct 28, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 86%	Election (2005)	" To�s double shot is a landmark work for HK cinema." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Oct 28, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Climates (2006)	" *As a study of male weakness, Climates* hits at the bone but its formal beauty and dry humour help soften the blow.*" — eye WEEKLY* SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 95%	Offside (2006)	" A spirited rebuke of the political and social restrictions faced by women in Iran." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 88%	Red Road (2007)	" Thankfully, Arnold�s talent is more convincing than her storyline." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 94%	Away From Her (2007)	" Christie has rarely been lovelier -- and that�s saying something." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 66%	Jindabyne (2007)	" *t�s a thoughtful, bracing drama in the mould of Lawrence�s much-decorated Lantana." — eye WEEKLY* SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 48%	Cashback (2007)	" Apparently unsure whether to make an arty romantic fantasy � la Amelie or something that might go down better with the readers of FHM, British first-timer Sean Ellis tries to do both." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 91%	The Italian (2007)	" Full of cold truths and warm sentiment, this is a Dickensian tale set to the contemporary rhythms of post-Communist Russia." — Globe and Mail SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	Catch a Fire (2006)	" Catch a Fire loses some heat whenever Noyce abides too closely to thriller conventions but it�s empowered and elevated by Luke�s terrific performance." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 89%	Rescue Dawn (2007)	" It�s very exciting to have Herzog nearly back on form as a feature filmmaker after his string of doc successes." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 68%	Lights In The Dusk (2007)	" *A noir on Ativan, Lights in the Dusk* displays another of Kaurism�ki�s best traits: his deep sympathy for the world�s most helpless (and hapless) souls.*" — eye WEEKLY* SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 91%	Volver (2006)	" What seem like needlessly digressive plot strands in the first hour are eventually knitted into a moving melodrama." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 92%	The Host (2007)	" A well-calibrated mix of suspense, comedy and political satire." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	Bamako (2006)	" Rather than detract from the seriousness of the issues, Sissako�s light touch encourages a deeper level of engagement." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 85%	The Namesake (2007)	" Mira Nair�s handsome but inert adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri�s Pulitizer Prize winning novel is another reminder of the fact that some books were not born to be movies." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 75%	Black Book (2007)	" Full of rude energy and a very appealing degree of cynicism..." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 69%	Flanders (2006)	" *For its depiction of (very) simple country folk coping with war, Flandres* has some of the force that�s been missing from Dumont�s work since La Vie de J�sus.*" — eye WEEKLY* SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 78%	The Page Turner (2007)	" Subtle and precise, Dercourt�s fifth feature boasts beguiling echoes of past vengeance tales by Chabrol and Clouzot." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 23, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 79%	Why We Fight (2006)	" *What makes Why We Fight* so devastating is that it stands as a plea for reason in an age that expresses little use for it.*" — eye WEEKLY* SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 9, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 67%	The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico (2005)	" Michael Mabbott's first feature boasts some inspired comedy and very fine tunes." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Sep 9, 2005
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 41%	High Tension (2005)	" *[Haute Tension] is as intense as its French title suggests." — eye WEEKLY* SHORT REVIEW Posted Oct 1, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002)	" This terrific doc pays tribute to a group of musicians unfamiliar even to many soul fans." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Nov 15, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 85%	A Song for Martin (2002)	" Often gruelling and heartbreaking to witness, but Seldahl and Wollter's sterling performances raise this far above the level of the usual maudlin disease movie." — eye WEEKLY SHORT REVIEW Posted Feb 3, 2002
