3/5
 
"It’s not sure where to go once the final Iron Man suit is constructed, and seems in a rush to get there, but Downey Jr and the supporting cast are so perfectly placed we're already looking forward to the bound-to-be-better sequel."

Iron Man (2008)93%
/
4/5
 
"Mike Leigh draws a bravura performance out of Sally Hawkins, and she in return makes Poppy one of Leigh’s best characters yet - up there with the likes of Vera Drake or Beverly from Abigail’s Party."

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)94%

4/5
 
"A potentially disposable, tongue-in-cheek First Blood pisstake turns out to be a deeply effective, surprisingly touching tale of family and childhood friendship. If you only see one Rambo movie this year, make sure it’s this one."
Posted Apr 6, 2008
 
Son of Rambow (2008)75%
/
4/5
 
"An engaging melodrama whose less convincing plot points are superseded by some astonishingly affecting performances from the mostly unknown cast."

The Kite Runner (2007)67%
/
3/5
 
"While the sun shines, it’s a four-star thriller with a superb turn from Smith. When the moon rises, it’s a two-star horror cartoon with some of the worst FX we’ve seen all year. So, really, it has to average out at…"

I Am Legend (2007)69%

4/5
 
"With the whole of America as his backdrop, Penn pulls off his most ambitious movie yet. The result is a beautiful and thought-provoking road movie."
Posted Nov 8, 2007
 
Into the Wild (2007)83%
/
3/5
 
"Patchy but great fun, peppering plenty of black humour into a sweet if silly fairy-tale romance."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Stardust (2007)76%
/
4/5
 
"The year’s most pleasant cinematic surprise. Once has enough heart, wit, verve and sheer songwriting genius to ensure you’ll see it far more times than its title suggests."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Once (2007)97%
/
4/5
 
"A sharp and compelling war drama that delivers on the promise of its astonishing true-life origins."
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
The Counterfeiters (2008)94%
/
4/5
 
"Deeply impressive, as both a recreation of ’80s working-class England and an intimate tale of one childhood’s brutal end."
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
This Is England (2007)93%
/
4/5
 
"A war film more of sober, grim reflection than balls-out escapades. Yet it grips consistently, its bursts of combat delivering gut-punches of veracity."
Posted Mar 27, 2007
 
Days of Glory (2006)82%
/
4/5
 
"A sharper account of the Iwo Jima conflict than Flags, this balances its unflinching handling of the horrors of war with its touching portrayal of those who face them."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)91%
/
4/5
 
"Odd, but brilliantly so. It's a small film that feels big, a period drama that looks modern, defying comparison to anything but Nolan himself."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The Prestige (2006)75%
/
4/5
 
"The odd conclusion renders it somewhat oblique, but Perfume is a feast for the senses. Smell it with your eyes..."
Posted Nov 29, 2006
 
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)56%
/
5/5
 
"Impossible to recommend as a great Friday night out, yet agonisingly vital as thought-urging cinema."
Posted Nov 4, 2006
 
United 93 (2006)91%
/
5/5
 
"Absurd, outrageous, gross, disturbing, insightful, and so funny it’ll burst half the blood vessels in your face."
Posted Oct 30, 2006
 
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)91%
/
3/5
 
"Thankfully, the bits that matter most -- the dust-ups -- are superb."
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
The Protector (2006)55%
/
3/5
 
"Too long, and too wrapped up in its various plot contrivances to notice it’s veering off course. But Jack just about pulls the wheel back, aided by Verbinski’s flair for cartoonish comedy action."
Posted Jul 6, 2006
 
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)54%
/
3/5
 
"Structural scrappiness aside, it remains a laudably amoral and superbly caustic comedy for those who like their satire strong and unfiltered."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Thank You For Smoking (2006)86%
/
3/5
 
"Singer’s absence is felt but not fatal. By adding too much new blood Ratner loses some of the original DNA, but with its nifty set-pieces and a few nasty surprises, X3’s still a worthy enough sequel to ensure it’s no Last Stand."
Posted May 25, 2006
 
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)56%
/
4/5
 
"Twisted, mysterious, bold and compelling, this is a raging cyclone of a movie, sucking up elements from the likes of Blade and The Matrix and whirling them into something new."
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Night Watch (2005)58%
/
5/5
 
"Part punk wildlife doc, part diary of a twisted soul, part cautionary tale, Grizzly Man is a complex, unique and engrossing journey into the murky recesses of an unhinged mind."
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
Grizzly Man (2005)93%
/
4/5
 
"Setting out more to challenge us with its ideas than make us whoop at the action, Vendetta can be clumsy, but there are enough impressive flourishes to make up for its stumblings."
Posted Mar 11, 2006
 
V For Vendetta (2005)73%
/
3/5
 
"Interesting and unsettling, but never terrifying."
Posted Jul 22, 2005
 
Dark Water (2005)45%
/
4/5
 
"Brutal, bloody, terrifying, astonishing."
Posted Jul 8, 2005
 
The Descent (2006)85%
/
3/5
 
"As it dawns on the couple that they've slipped several links down the food chain, you're right there with them."

Open Water (2004)72%
/
4/5
 
"Raimi has once again crafted a blockbuster that thinks as hard as it thwacks -- in a word, amazing."

Spider-Man 2 (2004)93%
