4/5
 
"Hitchcock's second-to-last British movie before decamping to LA is a fun romp celebrating the stiff-upper-lippedness of our great nation."

3/5
 
"After recent disappointments Sir Dickie Attenborough is back on better, albeit old-fashioned, form. "

"Audiences will need an epidural to endure the excruciating pain of watching this geek-and-jerk combo stumble through three trimesters."

The Brothers Solomon (2007)16%

3/5
 
"A sole potty joke is unnecessarily crass, but for the most part this is joyfully funny."

Death at a Funeral (2007)62%

4/5
 
"It may have slipped from an X rating to a 12A but this is still a potent adaptation of Bran Stoker's eternal monster."
Posted Nov 1, 2007
 
Horror of Dracula (1958)86%

3/5
 
"Plot holes and a mixed tone lessen the impact but Gordon-Levitt holds it together with a strong lead performance."

"An accomplished masterpiece, with excellent performances and rarely bettered direction."
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Fanny and Alexander (1982)100%
/
4/5
 
"Gere proves that there’s more to his range than ageing romantic leads in a multi-layered tale of public fraud and self-deception."

Paris, Je T'aime (2007)84%

3/5
 
"A typically engaging performance from Johnny Lee Miller takes this slightly above the usual underdog movie cliche."

"Just because you shoot semi-improvised scenes in black-and-white doesn’t mean you’re the new Jim Jarmusch."

The Lives of Others (2006)94%

3/5
 
"Some moving performances but this is somewhat lacking in plot."

"A potentially menacing first half is let down by a few cliches in the home stretch."

"It's as much a doomed romance as a shoot-'em-up."

The Killer (1989)100%
/
4/5
 
"A screen-acting showcase by a man whose best days, many thought, were behind him. There’s life in the old dog yet."

Venus (2006)89%

1/5
 
"Scarily awful -- this spoof horror franchise needs a stake driven through its heart, and quick..."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Scary Movie 2 (2001)13%
/
3/5
 
"An opportunity frustratingly squandered, but one which still makes for fascinating viewing thanks to Castro's natural charisma. Errol Morris would have nailed it."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Comandante (2003)58%
/
4/5
 
"Greengrass has deliberately chosen to provoke an emotional rather than intellectual response with his film -- but sometimes provocation is much preferred to the British media's maintenance of the status quo."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Bloody Sunday (2002)92%

"Delightfully upbeat, it will send you back out onto the street grinning from ear to ear."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Bend It Like Beckham (2003)85%
/
4/5
 
"A deliberately provocative film that triggers the audience's emotions in order to highlight important issues of personal freedom. Amen to that."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The Magdalene Sisters (2003)90%
/
3/5
 
"Likeable characters and a cliched but meatier-than-usual story for a teen comedy."

"Our wait for a decent corporate espionage / interactive virtual porn film continues."

Demonlover (2003)48%
/
4/5
 
"Even though a few of the book's scenes have been cut, fans probably couldn't hope for a better adaptation. It bodes well for the rest of the series, when strong stories start taking precedence over set-up."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)78%
/
1/5
 
"This internet-based spook-fest is arguably the least imaginative, most pathetic horror of the decade."

Fear Dot Com (2002)4%

5/5
 
"A remarkable debut from Ray that though slow is extremely absorbing."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Pather Panchali (1954)97%
/
4/5
 
"Hartnett never allows him to become a hissable villain, keeping Hugo shy of our sympathies, yet his every move is utterly believable."

"Go see The French Connection instead."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
A Man Apart (2003)9%
/
2/5
 
"No amount of skate tricks or avalanche-dodging ski stunts will win us over if the characters have had their charisma surgically removed."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Extreme Ops (2002)6%
/
4/5
 
"The songs and set pieces are still fresh and infectious and most of the child cast are mesmerisingly good. I defy anyone not to be caught up in the charm and nostalgia."
Posted Nov 30, 2006
 
Bugsy Malone (1976)75%

"British urban crime movie that is several cuts above the rest."

"Evie is a character in search of a film that’s strong enough to contain her -- and sadly this isn’t it."

3/5
 
"Shot and acted on an adrenaline rush, Harsh Times has the free structure and intensity of a true indie film, but is sometimes just a little off-balance."

Harsh Times (2006)48%

3/5
 
"After a healthy start, pretentiousness lets down a promising premise, and the film just runs out of ticker."
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
The Story of Marie and Julien (2003)50%
/
4/5
 
"It plays a risky game, switching tone from domestic drama to political point-making to broad comedy to sticky sentiment in a matter of moments, rounding everything off with a perfect ending that will make grown men weep."
Posted Apr 1, 2006
 
On A Clear Day (2006)67%
/
3/5
 
"It opens the audience's ears to the diversity and vitality of Istanbul's music scene but, as a documentary, it lacks the mainstream appeal of Buena Vista Social Club."

"A must for those who like their crime capers cool and elegant."

Bob Le Flambeur (1955)96%
/
4/5
 
"Placing his lunatic ensemble of social misfits into a series of episodic story blocks with faultless timing, the director evocatively captures the look, mood, sounds and, most of all, the eccentric attitudes of this alien realm."

Stage Beauty (2004)64%

"Travelogue, biography, tender portrait of friendship -- the film is strong in all these areas, but excels in fusing them into an affecting whole."
