Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
2/5 14% R.I.P.D. (2013) " Bridges may be doing this for the pay cheque but at least he seems determined to give value for money." — Daily Star
Posted Oct 1, 2013
1/5 35% Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) " Clever isn't the same as scary. It's the unexplained, not the over-explained, that tingles the spine. " — Daily Star
Posted Oct 1, 2013
3/5 44% The Call (2013) " Halle Berry delivers an emphatic reminder of her star status in this tightly-plotted low-budget thriller." — Daily Star
Posted Oct 1, 2013
1/5 3% Diana (2013) " As big-screen romances go, this is a far cry from An Affair To Remember. It's an affair you'll probably forget on the bus trip home. " — Daily Star
Posted Oct 1, 2013
5/5 76% Filth () " Ballsy, bonkers and certifiably brilliant." — Daily Star
Posted Sep 30, 2013
4/5 60% Riddick (2013) " In a year when big-budget sci-fi flicks have played it safe or pandered to Asia, this hones in on old-school action fans. " — Daily Star
Posted Sep 2, 2013
2/5 56% Bachelorette (2012) " The edginess is just window dressing. The message is as schmaltzy as anything you'd find in a kooky rom-com. " — Daily Star
Posted Aug 22, 2013
3/5 63% 2 Guns (2013) " In this age of never-ending franchises and pointless reboots it's quite refreshing to see a funny, action-packed film that's so utterly disposable." — Daily Star
Posted Aug 22, 2013
3/5 68% Elysium (2013) " There are eye-catching special effects and some tantalising early scenes. But Blomkamp seems to have got lost in his big pile of Hollywood dollars" — Daily Star
Posted Aug 21, 2013
5/5 84% Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa () " The funniest film of the year by a Norfolk mile. " — Daily Star
Posted Aug 5, 2013
4/5 31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " Gorgeously shot, brilliantly acted and recklessly ambitious. " — Daily Star
Posted Aug 5, 2013
4/5 69% The Wolverine (2013) " Iron Man 3 may have had better jokes and Man Of Steel slicker effects but this has more soul than the pair of them. Which is why, for me, it's the most gripping comic book movie of the year. " — Daily Star
Posted Jul 24, 2013
3/5 94% The Deep (Djúpið) (2013) " What is extraordinary about Gulli is how ordinary he is." — Daily Star
Posted Jul 16, 2013
4/5 72% Pacific Rim (2013) " A stonking summer blockbuster that delivers on an epic scale." — Daily Star
Posted Jul 8, 2013
4/5 75% Despicable Me 2 (2013) " Fiendishly entertaining." — Daily Star
Posted Jul 3, 2013
4/5 84% This Is the End (2013) " The Book Of Revelation comes to pass in rapturous fashion while some of its brightest young stars are partying in James Franco's L.A. mansion. " — Daily Star
Posted Jul 3, 2013
3/5 35% The Internship (2013) " It's precisely the type of film the critics hate. Ignore them, yahoo'd be a fool to miss it." — Daily Star
Posted Jul 3, 2013
2/5 50% Now You See Me (2013) " When the smoke finally clears you won't hear a single gasp. The groans could be deafening though. " — Daily Star
Posted Jul 3, 2013
3/5 59% The Bling Ring (2013) " When Coppola took a laid-back approach in her highly acclaimed Somewhere, I was bored to tears. But this time it's not only completely fitting but weirdly compelling. " — Daily Star
Posted Jul 3, 2013
2/5 58% Stuck in Love (2013) " It all plays out a bit like a feature-length episode of Dawson's Creek - pretty teenagers wandering around romantic locations spouting over-written dialogue." — Daily Star
Posted Jun 13, 2013
2/5 48% Summer in February () " For the last half-hour, the director uses every trick in the book (rain machines, epic music, close-ups of sobbing girls) in a bid to jerk our tears. It was too much, too late. I was already looking at my watch." — Daily Star
Posted Jun 13, 2013
3/5 71% The Stone Roses: Made of Stone () " Almost criminally, the star-struck director turns his camera off during the back-stage rows and fails to coax any new revelations out of his idols. " — Daily Star
Posted Jun 4, 2013
5/5 95% Behind the Candelabra (2013) " Douglas is simply brilliant here. It's far more than an impression - he simply disappears into the role of the troubled showman." — Daily Star
Posted Jun 4, 2013
2/5 11% After Earth (2013) " If you thought the Smiths had a hard time of it in their last movie, heaven knows they're miserable now. " — Daily Star
Posted Jun 4, 2013
4/5 67% World War Z (2013) " From the superb opening assault on a gridlocked Philadelphia this thrilling action movie barely pauses for breath." — Daily Star
Posted Jun 4, 2013
3/5 61% Byzantium (2013) " This strange film never really finds the right tone, feeling a little too serious for a pulpy horror flick and a lot too pulpy for a serious drama." — Daily Star
Posted May 28, 2013
4/5 54% All Stars () " Got To Dance winner Akai Osei has all the moves and Horrid Henry star Theo Stevenson has charm by the bucket load." — Daily Star
Posted May 22, 2013
4/5 64% Epic (2013) " Parents may have to take a back seat here but their young charges will be enthralled by this beautifully animated 3D adventure." — Daily Star
Posted May 22, 2013
2/5 38% Dead Man Down (2013) " There are a couple of decent action scenes but this is just too ridiculous to be taken as seriously as it expects to be. With a slight re-edit, it could be re-released as Naked Gun 4." — Daily Star
Posted May 10, 2013
3/5 74% Chimpanzee (2012) " It's beautifully photographed, whimsically narrated by Tim Allen and keeps completely schtum about the rough sex and the cannibalism." — Daily Star
Posted May 10, 2013
4/5 28% 21 And Over (2013) " It's not exactly groundbreaking but it still takes a lot of brains to craft something as brazenly stupid as this. " — Daily Star
Posted May 10, 2013
3/5 56% The Look of Love (2013) " Coogan puts in a restrained turn as the puddle-deep soft porn billionaire who only occasionally brings to mind a certain Norfolk DJ. But he's such a cold fish it's hard to care about his impending fall." — Daily Star
Posted Apr 23, 2013
4/5 79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " A witty and rather surprising take on the superhero movie." — Daily Star
Posted Apr 23, 2013
3/5 69% Trance (2013) " Like most of Boyle's work, this is a stylish and clever film. But it's also one of the few that I don't feel like going back to. " — Daily Star
Posted Apr 9, 2013
4/5 90% Good Vibrations () " It's the background of the Troubles that gives this rousing biopic its edge." — Daily Star
Posted Apr 9, 2013
4/5 47% Olympus Has Fallen (2013) " After the dull last Die Hard, this all-American slice of hokum is the gung-ho blast action fans have been craving. " — Daily Star
Posted Apr 9, 2013
1/5 29% All Things To All Men () " Dreary, ridiculous and utterly unfathomable." — Daily Star
Posted Apr 2, 2013
4/5 52% Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) " Singer is more concerned with old-fashioned storytelling than chasing a target audience's fleeting fads." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 23, 2013
5/5 83% Tyrannosaur (2011) " A stunning and memorable debut." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
2/5 51% The Iron Lady (2012) " Plucking the audience's heartstrings feels like the worst possible way to make a film about someone called The Iron Lady." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
4/5 91% Arthur Christmas (2011) " A new Christmas classic." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
4/5 93% 50/50 (2011) " It's a brave plan to make a cancer movie that's moving, uplifting and pant-wettingly funny. But against the odds, it's definitely a case of remission accomplished." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
3/5 79% Shame (2011) " It's another great performance from the star who appears now to have mastered the fed-up stare." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5 13% W.E. (2012) " It may not be laughably awful - like her and Ritchie's Swept Away - it's something far worse...boring. " — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5 47% Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2012) " An irritating 130-minute dripathon." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5 26% This Means War (2012) " The laziest, most cack-handed, most unromantic and most excruciatingly unfunny rom-com I can remember having to sit through." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
4/5 100% Wild Bill (2013) " There's a lot more to this likeable crime flick than your usual dunderheaded Danny Dyer vehicle." — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
4/5 —— The Pirates! An Adventure With Scientists () " It's the attention to detail that really shivers the timbers. " — Daily Star
Posted Mar 14, 2013
4/5 75% Blackthorn (2011) " With Paul Newman no longer with us, no other actor could have fitted so snugly into the legendary outlaw's old boots." — Daily Star
