6/10
 
"This is soft and gentle stuff in the mould of the recent Mrs Potter: perfectly pleasing on the eye and ear, but without much real substance to it."
Posted Mar 3, 2007
 
Becoming Jane (2007)57%
/
6/10
 
"Everyone should be able to appreciate the beautiful composition of both the sound and vision, but the languid pace may well be the film's chief downfall."
Posted Jan 27, 2007
 
Climates (2006)71%
/
2/10
 
"It's so old-fashioned in sentiment and execution that it just seems out of place in this day and age."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Eragon (2006)16%
/
5/10
 
"The performances of Winslet and Wallach though are a treat and eventually partly save the day in a film that is otherwise far too cute for its own good."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The Holiday (2006)47%
/
8/10
 
"One of the year's most entertaining films."
Posted Nov 18, 2006
 
Casino Royale (2006)94%
/
9/10
 
"It's not only a masterpiece of character comedy, but of comic timing."
Posted Oct 28, 2006
 
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)91%
/
7/10
 
"For the large majority of its running time, this is hugely enjoyable stuff."
Posted Oct 21, 2006
 
The Last King of Scotland (2006)87%
/
5/10
 
"Ultimately let-down by its own sense of self-importance. What begins as an engaging story takes too many melodramatic turns to be really convincing."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Lower City (2006)60%
/
2/10
 
"It is a story that has been told many times before, but never quite as self-indulgently."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
The Proposition (2006)86%
/
2/10
 
"If this is meant to reflect the contemporary state of the British comedy, then the future does not look good."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Imagine Me & You (2006)31%
/
7/10
 
"It's a gritty affair which won't please everyone, but many will find that it has plenty of interesting things to say about contemporary America."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Harsh Times (2006)48%
/
6/10
 
"This is easy on the eye and the brain."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Tristan & Isolde (2006)32%
/
6/10
 
"All of the main performances are fresh and natural -- notably Presley Chweneyagae in the lead -- and the set design triumphantly conveys a place where nobody would want to live out of choice."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Tsotsi (2006)81%
/
8/10
 
"After this, expect a whole new generation to believe a man can fly."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Superman Returns (2006)77%
/
5/10
 
"A little more action and pace, let alone some explaining of how we are meant to believe any of this, would be more than welcome."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
The Lake House (2006)36%
/
7/10
 
"One of America's most interesting directors shows no sign of running out of steam."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
A Scanner Darkly (2006)67%
/
7/10
 
"It looks like it was a lot of fun to make, and it's certainly a lot of fun to watch."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Confetti (2006)58%
/
7/10
 
"A peculiarly British and thought-provoking affair."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007)78%
/
5/10
 
"While the movie works for a good deal of its running time, it begins to unravel towards the end, and leaves us with a climax that is both dissatisfying and a bit of a con. This is a shame since what has gone before is intriguing and interesting."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
The Night Listener (2006)41%
/
5/10
 
"It's probably inevitable that a company with a track record as successful and profitable as Pixar's will have the occasional blip."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Cars (2006)75%
 No Rating  
"Writer and director Niall Johnson has attempted to create a whimsical murder mystery but fails to deliver any real laughs with a script that can only be described as creaky."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Keeping Mum (2006)55%
/
6/10
 
"Obstacles are placed in their way on the journey, but these are inevitably overcome and never seem quite as threatening as they might be."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)56%
/
4/10
 
"It doesn't know whether it is a thriller, think-piece or strident social commentary. Because it falls between all three, and fails to really be any of them, the talk surrounding the film is little more than a burst of hot air."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Hard Candy (2005)67%
/
5/10
 
"While the film can self-referentially namecheck classics of the genre, it fails in comparison to all of them."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Inside Man (2006)86%
/
6/10
 
"It's generally rather amusing."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006)91%
/
9/10
 
"It's a film that everyone can relate to, and the writer/director should start clearing space in his house for a whole new batch of awards."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Volver (2006)91%
/
7/10
 
"Jeff Feuerzeig's absorbing and frequently mindboggling documentary charts how this American oddball influenced the likes of Nirvana and Sonic Youth, despite having what is very much a naïve style and, sadly, suffering from serious mental issues."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)87%
/
5/10
 
"As the scenes pass, the laughter dwindles and familiarity breeds unfortunate contempt as the central characters are forced into increasingly unlikely scenarios in the quest for a laugh."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Hoodwinked (2006)48%
/
6/10
 
"Lots of it is really very funny and Smith fans will no doubt be delighted."
Posted Oct 11, 2006
 
Clerks II (2006)63%
/
6/10
 
"Despite pulling things together for the finale, it's still hard to feel much sympathy for Lady Vengeance."
