8% Runner Runner (2013) " The only passion attached to this production is Lab Colour Timer, Jim Passon." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 30, 2013
91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " The result's highly effective on a human level. If only the film had been set in the real world. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 29, 2013
80% Prisoners (2013) " A story too densely plotted to feel real but too well built to fall over. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 29, 2013
35% Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) " The movie finds itself haunted by a three-headed beast: incoherence, illogicality and contrivance." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 26, 2013
3% Diana (2013) " Tony Blair's eulogy had more substance and I don't say that lightly." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 23, 2013
44% The Call (2013) " A film that was just highly improbable for 75 minutes loses its mind thereafter and invites you to do the same. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 20, 2013
50% White House Down (2013) " All credit to this hack: he's once again made sleeping well a real possibility, making the plausible implausible. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 15, 2013
60% Riddick (2013) " It's unlikely Riddick will leave the world demanding a further chronicle of the character's adventures but that hasn't stopped him returning before. Not goodbye then but until next time. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 8, 2013
45% No One Lives (2013) " If we must have schlock let it be fun, inventive and full-on exploitative like Ryûhei Kitamura's bonkers thriller." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Sep 5, 2013
49% Pain & Gain (2013) " Lugo and his confederates feitishized the human body, were steeped in misogyny, and had scant intelligence, emotional or otherwise. Their story is brought to the screen by Michael Bay. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 31, 2013
—— In Fear () " An iteration of the urban nightmare." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 30, 2013
—— Odd Thomas (2013) " The only truly odd thing about it is that each creative decision passed without comment." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 29, 2013
50% Devil's Pass (2013) " Its grab at realism makes the artifice highly conspicuous." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 28, 2013
75% Big Bad Wolves () " A glib, empty picture." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 28, 2013
67% Curse of Chucky (2013) " A morbidly witty schlocker." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 27, 2013
68% Elysium (2013) " A directorial oddity. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 21, 2013
63% 2 Guns (2013) " Movies that aim for the middle often fall short." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 19, 2013
30% Kick-Ass 2 (2013) " You're left with a legacy libel against Vaughn and Goldman that Johnnie Cochran couldn't defend. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 16, 2013
56% Heaven's Gate (1980) " The first critics to lay eyes on it mistook the emphasis on the personal and painterly for self-indulgence - static naval gazing. This confuses incident with the incidental. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 15, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " If the movies have no ambition, nothing to say and no desire to tell new stories, should they continue? Jerry Bruckheimer, I await your answer." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 9, 2013
84% Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa () " The script oscillates between the sublime; moments of acutely crafted comic detail; and the solid. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 9, 2013
65% The Heat (2013) " You're left with an above average buddy cop movie, a few sharp gags and the conclusion that there must be a better way to get men laughing with women than have them inhabiting written-as-male roles. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 5, 2013
42% Red 2 (2013) " Willis looks so tired, so lacking in vitality, that it's tempting to suggest he follow his character's lead and retire. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 5, 2013
40% Only God Forgives (2013) " It's a film with a dark heart but a heart nonetheless. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 5, 2013
86% The Conjuring (2013) " The polish belies the fact that The Conjuring's a sausage made from the ground-up leftovers of other movies. Said offcuts are fact based of course." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Aug 2, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " A guileless movie that's been dulled on the page and sanitised in the editing suite. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 27, 2013
57% The Frozen Ground (2013) " Nicolas Cage in competent movie shock!" — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 21, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " Here's the movie that invites man-children everywhere, both out and closeted, to relax: it feels your pain. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 21, 2013
85% A Field in England () " It forces you to work but with two and a half million unemployed that can't be a bad thing." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 18, 2013
78% Monsters University (2013) " Do these movies have to be so unremittingly bland?" — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 13, 2013
72% Pacific Rim (2013) " Perhaps we should just be grateful that a director with any kind of artistic sensibility took this on. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 13, 2013
30% Chasing Mavericks (2012) " Moribund." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jul 12, 2013
49% Redemption (2013) " Compelling, if never entirely convincing." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 30, 2013
84% This Is the End (2013) " The end of the world turns out to be one prolonged exercise in mutual masturbation. It may end that way but wouldn't it be nice to get in on the action instead of observing from a seat stained with coke and who knows what else? " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 29, 2013
98% Before Midnight (2013) " There's not a hint of melodrama or falsity in the Before series. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 29, 2013
67% World War Z (2013) " A film that cost about as much to produce as Man of Steel culminates in Brad Pitt walking along a corridor, having broken a vending machine. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 23, 2013
50% Now You See Me (2013) " It has all the depth of a Vegas magic act, though take heart, it's one fifth of the price." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 21, 2013
56% Man of Steel (2013) " We're dazzled while unmoved." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 14, 2013
95% Behind the Candelabra (2013) " There's a lot more behind the candelabra than hot tubs and scalp glue." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 9, 2013
11% After Earth (2013) " "I wanna work with Mom," says Jaden at the close. It's not just his on screen Dad he's talking to." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 9, 2013
61% Byzantium (2013) " It's enough to make Stephenie Meyer's ovaries implode." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 4, 2013
38% The Purge (2013) " DeMonaco's movie lacks the courage to explore the possibilities suggested by its stoner argument conceit." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Jun 4, 2013
19% The Hangover Part III (2013) " An underwritten anti-comedy that's also unremittingly unpleasant. It's all the uns. " — The Ooh Tray
Posted May 26, 2013
69% Fast & Furious 6 (2013) " Annoyingly entertaining." — The Ooh Tray
Posted May 19, 2013
49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " Why didn't the maestro didn't just go the whole hog and rename it "Jazz Hands: A Love Story"? A bottle of your best champagne says he thought about it." — The Ooh Tray
Posted May 19, 2013
98% Mud (2013) " As Mud might say, it's a hell of a thing." — The Ooh Tray
Posted May 17, 2013
87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " A bad cover of your favourite song." — The Ooh Tray
Posted May 9, 2013
56% The Look of Love (2013) " The unedifying spectacle is cut with sadness." — The Ooh Tray
Posted Apr 29, 2013
79% Iron Man 3 (2013) " Marvel's employed a core vote strategy with this movie: it's about keeping the audience they have rather than building on the one they've got." — The Ooh Tray
