"The first of the silly VW Beetle with a cute personality comedies, is as childish dated and occasionally sweet as the others." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 5, 2008
 
The Love Bug (1969)77%
/
2/5
 
"For four hours this moody, glossy pantomime leadenly plods on, saying much more about the hubris and excess of old-time Hollywood thinking than the burnished glories of an ancient world." -- Empire Magazine
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Cleopatra (1963)45%
/
3/5
 
"You might admire it as a Warholian blur of pop art, gawp and gasp at its Hot Wheels-for-real dynamism, or get a headache." -- Empire Magazine

Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)67%
/
3/5
 
"Another mean, violent and decently acted slab of Ellroy-flavoured criminality, with an impressively battered Keanu Reeves, but Ayers is no Curtis Hanson." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Street Kings (2008)33%
/
4/5
 
"Quite possibly Ferrara's finest hour, with an almost unbearably sincere performance from Keitel." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Bad Lieutenant (1992)74%
/
4/5
 
"Perfeclty tense atmosphere and performances, with the sparks flying between Bogart and Bacall." -- Empire Magazine

Key Largo (1948)96%
/
3/5
 
"Smart and satirical but very dated, obviously." -- Empire Magazine

Rocky IV (1985)44%
/
5/5
 
"It's a slight tale, of course, and incredibly short, but the characters and songs are pretty much perfect viewing time and again." -- Empire Magazine

The Jungle Book (1967)88%
/
4/5

"A towering work." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 19, 2008
 
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)95%
/
4/5
 
"Still regarded as one of the steamiest movie's of all time, Body Heat is a fantastic exponenet of how noir has developed." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Body Heat (1981)97%
/
2/5
 
"Good idea to cast the brat pack in a Western but this was badly realised and altogether a bit flat." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Feb 4, 2008
 
Young Guns (1988)40%
/
5/5
 
"Violent, poetic, gripping, thrilling and blackly funny: that’ll be the Coens doing what they do best then. Now with added humanity." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
No Country for Old Men (2007)94%
/
3/5

Dan in Real Life (2007)64%
/
4/5

Posted Dec 21, 2007
 
I'm Not There (2007)78%
/
3/5
 
"Best to see them as individual films with nothing in common apart from source material, one a classic, the other a strong enough picaresque amongst some decent fabulation." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Dec 12, 2007
 
Return to Oz (1985)58%
/
5/5
 
"As black, sinful and nasty as a weekful of Hitchcocks, this is as fresh and intoxicating now as it was back then. In a word: deadly." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 6, 2007
 
Blood Simple (1984)98%
/
3/5
 
"The film, for all Lean’s innate elegance, is strangely remote and unmoving. It could easily have been a Merchant-Ivory film." -- Empire Magazine

A Passage to India (1984)86%
/
5/5
 
"An extraordinary and visionary study of a legendary murderer’s famous fate, within touching distance of Oscars." -- Empire Magazine

Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)95%
/
4/5
 
"Kubrick's superb version of William Thackery's first novel is meticulous and philosophically stimulating but it can leave some audiences unmoved on an emotional level." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 3, 2007
 
Barry Lyndon (1975)93%
/
3/5
 
"A hardy Kubrikian effort that warms on you with repeated viewings." -- Empire Magazine

Fright Night (1985)93%

Pathfinder (2007)11%
 No Rating  
"Ostensibly a haunted house story, it manages to traverse a complex world of incipient madness, spectral murder and supernatural visions... and also makes you jump." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
The Shining (1980)86%
/
3/5
 
"Great performances, splendid looks, but its grip slackens toward a rather fuzzy finale." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Seraphim Falls (2007)54%
/
4/5
 
"Knocked Up touches places most comedies wouldn't dare, some of them scarily biological, some of them scarily accurate. It's the sleeper hit of the summer, but don't worry: it's much better than that." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Knocked Up (2007)90%
/
2/5
 
"Cliched and clunky. Not really a great showcase for Cruise or Chris Penn." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 7, 2007
 
All the Right Moves (1983)55%
/
3/5
 
"Good '80's teen movie with a suitable soundtrack and the loveable Cruise displaying his new found starry confidence." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 6, 2007
 
Risky Business (1983)100%
/
4/5
 
"The script may have rubbery legs, but the action is rock-hard. The surprise is the lightness of touch: treat as a comedy for best results." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 27, 2007
 
Transformers (2007)57%
/
2/5
 
"You chuckle here and there, you enjoy the animation (given a bit more pep and computery dimension for the big screen), but the moment it takes off never comes." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 25, 2007
 
The Simpsons Movie (2007)89%
/
3/5
 
"A ‘realistic’ Vegas movie that will set no-one’s soul on fire, but is further proof that Hanson can lend his talents to any style of movie." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jun 22, 2007
 
Lucky You (2007)28%
/
4/5
 
"Still captivating despite the obviously dated effects." -- Empire Magazine
