5/5 82% Tyrannosaur (2011) " Make no mistake, this is a hard and challenging watch." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 6, 2011
5/5 98% Up (2009) " Uplifting, upstaging and uproarious, this beautifully crafted animated adventure is buoyed up to the heavens by a heart-gladdening story of genuine warmth and poignancy." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 9, 2009
5/5 100% Toy Story (1995) " The fresh look serves the story and is never allowed to overwhelm it, leaving a beautifully judged yarn to unwind and enchant a new intake of young cinemagoers." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 4, 2009
5/5 91% District 9 (2009) " A giddy triumph of invention, tight plotting and an inspired appreciation that there exists an audience who like to be challenged as well as thrilled." — Sky Movies
Posted Sep 4, 2009
5/5 94% In the Loop (2009) " Few comedies - least of all political parodies - can hope to match the GPM (gags-per-minutes) success of this glorious sideswipe at international diplomacy." — Sky Movies
Posted Apr 17, 2009
4/5 92% Headhunters (2012) " Use your head...and hunt it down." — Sky Movies
Posted Apr 4, 2012

Posted Jan 25, 2012
4/5 94% Hugo (2011) " A masterpiece of visual storytelling and a heartfelt homage to the industry that Scorsese has triumphantly made his own." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 30, 2011
4/5 70% Margaret (2011) " Paquin - a 29-year-old playing a teenager - is outstanding as the bolshie adolescent doggedly pursuing a mawkish retribution, exquisitely delivering Lonergan's drily painful bon mots while trying the patience as flakey torch for truth...if not justice." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 30, 2011
4/5 85% The Ides of March (2011) " Tight as a drum and smooth as a snakeskin suit, this is a movie that harks back to golden days of the conspiracy thriller yet remains totally credible as a chronicle of ruthless political ambition." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 26, 2011
4/5 84% Contagion (2011) " Lean and fast-moving, Soderbergh ratchets up the tension without straining credibility while the days tick away and the body count rises." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 19, 2011

Posted Sep 21, 2011
4/5 83% Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) " John le Carré's 1974 novel - most famously served in the BBC's seven-part series with Alec Guinness in the Smiley role - is machine-tooled down to a lean two hours by Swedish director Tomas Alfredson." — Sky Movies
Posted Sep 14, 2011
4/5 81% The Skin I Live In (2011) " It's the work of a director firmly in control of his subject and shows that - when he wants to - there are few subjects that he can't tackle with flair." — Sky Movies
Posted Aug 25, 2011
4/5 95% The Guard (2011) " Assured and well-written, it may totter uncertainly in the third act but it's a pleasure to listen to a script with such an ear for shocking insult and knowing offence." — Sky Movies
Posted Aug 18, 2011
4/5 77% In A Better World (2011) " Director Bier and her regular screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen construct a believable series of events where notions of Western civilisation as opposed to Third World moral disarray are put to the test." — Sky Movies
Posted Aug 18, 2011
4/5 81% Life in a Day (2011) " It gives people a platform to speak...and then just gets on with it." — Sky Movies
Posted Jun 15, 2011

Posted May 19, 2011
4/5 87% Submarine (2011) " It's not often you come across a debut as accomplished as this but Ayoade has crafted a coming-of-age gem." — Sky Movies
Posted Mar 16, 2011
4/5 80% Fair Game (2010) " A fine political thriller." — Sky Movies
Posted Mar 9, 2011
4/5 96% True Grit (2010) " Remakes that outdo the original are as rare as a brimstone preacher in a saloon bar...but this leaves Henry Hathaway's 60s version stone dead." — Sky Movies
Posted Feb 9, 2011
4/5 86% Rabbit Hole (2010) " Touching and wise." — Sky Movies
Posted Feb 2, 2011
4/5 64% Biutiful (2010) " A thing of biuty." — Sky Movies
Posted Jan 26, 2011
4/5 94% Neds (2011) " A world away from Nick Love's risible tales of Cockney sectarianism, this is an intelligent, thoughtful drama given added heft by wonderfully natural performances." — Sky Movies
Posted Jan 20, 2011
4/5 81% Catfish (2010) " Although marketed as some sort of cyber thriller, this is far closer in tone to the sublime doc Capturing The Friedmans by Andrew Jarecki, who just happens to be one of the producers." — Sky Movies
Posted Dec 15, 2010
4/5 71% Somewhere (2010) " The movie unfolds at the same pace as Johnny's languorous life, a slow, seemingly pointless blurring of the days, but one that arrives at a touching moment of self-realisation." — Sky Movies
Posted Dec 8, 2010
4/5 93% Of Gods and Men (2011) " [A] quietly powerful drama..." — Sky Movies
Posted Dec 2, 2010
4/5 66% The American (2010) " A hit." — Sun Online
Posted Nov 29, 2010
4/5 89% Let Me In (2010) " It's an impressive, thoughtful version with Reeves' reverence for his source material winning through and the performances of his two young leads well up to snuff." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 3, 2010
4/5 94% Mary and Max (2009) " It's what Pixar might come up with if their characters found themselves off the rails." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 20, 2010
4/5 96% Restrepo (2010) " First-rate stuff." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 6, 2010
4/5 87% The Hole (2009) " Not since the peerless Monster House will kids enjoy getting scared out of their developing minds." — Sky Movies
Posted Sep 22, 2010
4/5 94% The Town (2010) " Further proof that Affleck -- after the professional doldrums of the Bennifer years -- is fulfilling the promise of Good Will Hunting and is a writer/director totally in command of his subject." — Sky Movies
Posted Sep 22, 2010
4/5 94% Winter's Bone (2010) " Make no bones about it, this is first-rate stuff." — Sky Movies
Posted Sep 15, 2010
4/5 87% Please Give (2010) " Beautifully played and sharply-written, the pleasures on offer here are apparently throwaway but the authenticity of the characters freights the story with a light-hearted realism." — Sky Movies
Posted Jun 16, 2010
4/5 75% Heartless (2010) " It doesn't always work but when it does it brings a refreshingly original spin to genres deadened by formula." — Sky Movies
Posted May 20, 2010
4/5 90% Lebanon (Levanon) (2010) " Without political preaching or providing traditional social commentary, Maoz has crafted a rare human drama, one that gives real insights into the horror of war. An uncomfortable ride...but one worth every penny." — Sky Movies
Posted May 13, 2010
4/5 53% Green Zone (2010) " What really strikes is the steel meld between bone-jarring action scenes and the all-too-believable political chicanery from the sort of people who will be on nodding terms with Halliburton in the form of Kinnear's sharp-suited ultra-rotter." — Sky Movies
Posted Mar 15, 2010
4/5 96% Exit Through The Gift Shop (2010) " This is splendid stuff, directed with verve and humour by Banksy who - aghast at Guetta's artistic triumph -- announces he will never make another art film. Shame." — Sky Movies
Posted Mar 15, 2010
4/5 51% Alice in Wonderland (2010) " If it could be bottled up, the label would read "watch me."" — Sky Movies
Posted Mar 5, 2010
4/5 75% The Road (2009) " This is a superlative piece of film-making. Terse, raw and unadorned, there are no cheap tricks to devalue a story of unconditional love." — Sky Movies
Posted Jan 8, 2010
4/5 97% Mugabe and the White African (2010) " Andrew Thompson and Lucy Bailey's elegant film - much of it shot illicitly to avoid government thuggery - is a humbling chronicle of a good man squaring up against evil, for evil is what Mugabe's regime is." — Sky Movies
Posted Jan 8, 2010
4/5 80% It Might Get Loud (2009) " It's never less than a compelling watch as the trio of turbo-charged troubadours swap anecdotes." — Sky Movies
Posted Jan 8, 2010
4/5 90% Séraphine (2009) " A tender and intelligent glimpse of a life enriched both by her nascent talent and the affectionate devotion of Uhde's protector." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 27, 2009
4/5 80% Le Premier Jour du Reste de ta Vie (The First Day of the Rest of Your Life) (2008) " For a story with so many sub-plots it's to Bazancon's credit that he keeps the psychological plates spinning without mishap." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 20, 2009
4/5 82% Bright Star (2009) " This shrugs off the musty restraints of costumed stereotypes and concentrates exclusively on the slowburning affair as Keats finds himself "dissolving" as love draws him in." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 6, 2009
4/5 53% Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) " Sometimes the richness of the visual banquet threatens to leave viewers with Christmas afternoon indigestion yet never stops you feeling hungry for more." — Sky Movies
Posted Nov 6, 2009
4/5 86% Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee (2009) " A comedy miracle that is the mirthful match for any so-called fun-fest that has emerged from Hollywood this year." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 9, 2009
4/5 56% Vinyan (2008) " Don't Look Now meets Heart of Darkness." — Sky Movies
Posted Oct 4, 2009
4/5 86% Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009) " By the end even kids suffering ADDs will be overwhelmed as Flint and the gang take on a gloriously surreal buffet of predatory giant chickens and psychopathic jelly babies. Weird but very wonderful." — Sky Movies
