1/5 11% Beyond The Fire () " The acting, script and production values rarely rise above film-school level and, once she has drawn him some anatomical diagrams (really!), the bedroom scenes are just awful." — Times [UK]
Posted Jun 19, 2009
2/5 20% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) " It's like being hit over the head repeatedly with a very expensive, very loud train set.After two and a half hours in this bludgeoning company, you're begging Bay to put away the boys' toys and make a rom-com." — Times [UK]
Posted Jun 19, 2009
3/5 64% The Disappeared (2008) " The film is let down by inauthentic dialogue and plotting that unravels rather embarrassingly in the final reel. But the tension is well sustained and Treadaway's performance is full of pallid intensity." — Times [UK]
Posted Jun 19, 2009
4/5 84% Pierrot le Fou (Pierrot Goes Wild) (Crazy Pete) (1969) " Godard opens up his box of tricks and tips it all over the screen in a flurry of improvised, postmodernism that takes scattergun shots at consumerism, cultural imperialism and the Vietnam and Algerian wars." — Times [UK]
Posted May 22, 2009
2/5 74% La Fille Coupée en Deux (The Girl Cut in Two) (A Girl Cut in Two) (2008) " The performances drip with cliché, while the narrative is all over the place: plot developments are either clumsily telegraphed or given the flimsiest of dramatic explanation." — Times [UK]
Posted May 22, 2009
3/5 93% Slepe lásky, (Blind Loves) (2009) " A sweet, if slightly stagey, documentary-drama." — Times [UK]
Posted May 22, 2009
4/5 43% Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) " Unlike most sequels, this "bigger, busier" strategy pays off, resulting in a romp that's as affable as it is inventive." — Times [UK]
Posted May 22, 2009
4/5 100% John Waters: This Filthy World (2006) " If you don't know what helicoptering and blossom are, they will be forever etched on your consciousness by the time Waters takes his bow." — Times [UK]
Posted Sep 28, 2007
4/5 94% The Singer (Quand j'etais chanteur) (2006) " Gerard Depardieu as the walrus of lurve chansons? It's unlikely, but it works." — Times [UK]
