Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
4/5 91% Crazy Heart (2009) " What makes the film is its attention to detail: the locations are a picture book of Americana; the music, overseen by T-Bone Burnett, is a precise re-creation of 1980s New Country." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted Feb 19, 2010
4/5 43% The Limits of Control (2009) " Plot isn't in it. This is an essay in style, in which a great American director is transplanted to Southern Spain." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted Dec 11, 2009
4/5 90% Fish Tank (2010) " There are moments of athletic grace, as Mia dances in an abandoned flat to her Discman; and a closing image, of a floating heart balloon, which does little to dispel the sense of emotional agoraphobia which has spooled out over the previous two hours." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted Sep 11, 2009
66% The Brothers Bloom (2009) " The Brothers Bloom is inventive, but its relentless cleverness limits its emotional pull." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted Jun 16, 2010
76% Kick-Ass (2010) " It is a film that is happy to mock audience expectations of a comic book adaptation, while also being faithful to the traditions of the genre." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted Mar 31, 2010
3/4 94% The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) — Scotsman
Posted Dec 17, 2003
3/5 83% Telstar (Telstar: The Joe Meek Story) (2009) " Moran's film is not empty nostalgia. It is not The Boat That Rocked. It should be filed alongside Stephen Frears' Joe Orton biopic, Prick Up Your Ears, because its breezy exterior conceals a thoughtful consideration of a strange moment in British pop." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted Jun 19, 2009
3/5 87% Sounds Like Teen Spirit (2009) " The children dominate the film, and their openness and enthusiasm overwhelm any latent cynicism." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
Posted May 8, 2009
84% The Ghost Writer (2010) " It loses direction as Harris' rage is channelled through some clunky plot developments." — Uncut Magazine [UK]
