Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
4/5 93% Sicko (2007) " Laughs are thin on the ground, but this is a must-see by a film-maker at the height of his powers." — thelondonpaper
Posted Sep 22, 2009
4/5 71% Les Femmes de l'Ombre (Female Agents) (2008) " A war thriller in classic style, with superb central performances which help Female Agents rise above the awful title and keep you hooked from start to gripping finish." — Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 22, 2009
4/5 85% Rachel Getting Married (2008) " Cathartic, uplifting and lacking the earnestness that Hollywood ladles over addiction movies, this beautifully wrought piece is a joy." — thelondonpaper
Posted Jan 23, 2009
4/5 65% Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008) " Sebring's drifting tone might leave you bemused, but take it as it comes and it's a captivating insight into modern music's godmother." — Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 5, 2008
4/5 79% Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008) " Charming, funny, with great turns from a juicy cast and the added bonus of minimal finger-wagging. Just stay well clear if you're not in a good place for psychosis-inducing imagery." — Empire Magazine Australasia
Posted Mar 19, 2008
4/5 52% Penelope (2006) " The convictions of the cast and an extremely snappy script fill in most of the gaps caused by the wobbly plotlines." — Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 7, 2008
4/5 43% Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) " The designer's droll wit makes this a compelling (if bitchy) documentary." — Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 24, 2007
4/5 77% The War on Democracy (2007) " A brilliantly-researched and sometimes shocking insight into the democratic position of those countries whose dealings with America are more along the lines of slave than political poodle." — Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 15, 2007
3/5 88% Young@Heart (2007) " The devil may have all the best tunes, but it's the elderly who nail them. Charming, heartwarming and totally kick-ass, you'll never look at your grandparents in the same way." — Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 17, 2008
3/5 59% The Fall (2006) " Tarsem's film is breathtakingly imaginative, but at times you're left feeling like you've eaten too many sweets." — Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 3, 2008
3/5 68% Irina Palm (2008) " There's a heartwarming quality that softens the hardcore setting but this does lack an assured, er, hand." — Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 13, 2008
3/5 79% He Was A Quiet Man (2007) " An enjoyable satire is let down by a third act that juggles too many ideas for its own good." — Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 7, 2007
3/5 74% The Magic Flute (2006) " Although Branagh has done a good job of toning down the opera's more ridiculous elements, what remains will test even the most willing opera virgin." — Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 28, 2007
3/5 29% Sugarhouse (2007) " Despite thin caricatures and dodgy dialogue, this still stands out on the street." — Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 24, 2007
3/5 33% Marigold (2007) " The final half hour may lose its way but this remains a sassy and endearing romantic effort." — Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 17, 2007
3/5 74% Transylvania (2006) " Forget the plot and soak up the glorious cinematography." — Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 10, 2007
3/5 100% The City of Violence (Jjakpae) (2006) " Humorous with some decent action sequences." — Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 8, 2007
3/5 57% Special (2006) " Genuinely original in parts but this works as a comedy only in places." — Empire Magazine
Posted Mar 7, 2007
3/5 75% Avenue Montaigne (Fauteuils d'orchestre) (Orchestra Seats) (2006) " Accessible and predictable but enjoyable Parisian drama." — Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 23, 2007
3/5 63% Sixty Six (2006) " An entertaining 90 minutes, but more an enjoyable friendly than a world-beating final." — Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 30, 2006
2/5 25% Bedtime Stories (2008) " Far from another Jumanji, any magic director Shankman tries to inject is squashed by Sandler's distressingly annoying turn, while Russell Brand and Keri Russell look uncomfortably crowbarred in." — Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 5, 2009
2/5 80% Un Secret (A Secret) (2008) " Despite strong performances, this is a rigidly uncinematic effort." — Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 18, 2008
2/5 50% The Fox & the Child (2007) " Despite some lovely scenes of foxes doing their thing, the whole affair is ruined by the interfering and rather annoying humans." — Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 8, 2008
2/5 31% The Good Night (2007) " Despite some wry humour, the miscast leads and sour tone are as out of place in this Woody Allen landscape as Gwyneth's silly wig." — Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 18, 2008
2/5 7% Bratz: The Movie (2007) " Lessons about friendship and tolerance in this live-action toy story are sidelined in favour of a desire to increase unit sales." — Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 15, 2007
2/5 81% Fong juk (Exiled) (2006) " With not enough balls to be fun, and not enough brain to be cerebral, there's not much going on behind those pained Western expressions to entertain." — Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 15, 2007
2/5 22% Typhoon (2006) " Pure action-thriller adventure is ruined with an overly melodramatic second half." — Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 27, 2007
1/5 61% Something New (2006) " Something New isn't just silly, it's an embarrassment to people who are genuinely trying to level the racial playing field in America today." — Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 30, 2006
1/5 14% Black Christmas (2006) " Bad film fans will think Christmas has come early, everyone else should ask for the receipt." — Empire Magazine
