4/5 100% Metro Manila (2013) " Ellis proves that the slow-burning thriller can still work as both an entertainment and as a penetrating social critique." — The List
Posted Sep 20, 2013
3/5 79% 42 (2013) " Helgeland has crafted a decent sport movie, but one that feels too sanitized and feels too educationally minded to prove any genuine thought." — The List
Posted Sep 10, 2013
2/5 35% Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) " Considerably less grounded in any kind of recognizable reality than the first chapter." — The List
Posted Sep 10, 2013
4/5 91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " Blue Jasmine marks a high-water mark for Blanchett, and for Allen, who demonstrates both the craftsmanship and the unique gift for balancing comedy and pathos which has eluded him for so long." — The List
Posted Sep 5, 2013
2/5 44% The Call (2013) " The serious subject of child abduction and murder isn't well served by the way Anderson's film veers into a comic book/vigilante drama, ultimately making this a call worth avoiding." — The List
Posted Sep 5, 2013
2/5 75% You're Next (2013) " You're Next is far too derivative to appear to anyone but hardcore slasher-movie fans with low-standards." — The List
Posted Aug 28, 2013
4/5 81% Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013) " A fictional slice of Americana which creates a dreamlike atmosphere around a traditional story of love, crime and redemption." — The List
Posted Aug 16, 2013
4/5 84% Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa () " Coogan's gift for making Partridge a believably awful everyman makes Alpha Papa a welcome slice of accomplished British character comedy." — The List
Posted Aug 5, 2013
3/5 38% Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013) " Elaborate backstories have more meaning when the characters are known and loved; Percy Jackson's endless exposition only demonstrates why he's nobody's favourite boy-wizard." — The List
Posted Aug 5, 2013
3/5 15% Top Cat:The Movie (UK) () " Adults looking for undemanding fare for their kids may find Top Cat's brand of sass, irreverence and cheeky charm offer a persuasive alternative to today's crasser children's entertainments." — The List
Posted Aug 2, 2013
1/5 14% The Smurfs 2 (2013) " Aside from a toned-down finale that thankfully doesn't attempt to re-create the exhausting multiple climaxes of the original's Central Park finale, The Smurfs 2 is as bald a retread as the unimaginative title might suggest." — The List
Posted Aug 1, 2013
2/5 93% Paradies: Hoffnung (Paradise: Hope) () " Originally conceived as one single portmanteau film, the Paradise trilogy doesn't have enough meat on its bones to justify four hours of anyone's life." — The List
Posted Aug 1, 2013
2/5 42% Red 2 (2013) " Red 2 seems stifled by the weight of its own detailed exposition, and only Hopkins seems to be enjoying himself in the same gleeful way that Mirren did in the previous film." — The List
Posted Aug 1, 2013
3/5 83% From Up On Poppy Hill (2013) " The sincerity and sentiment of this film are there to be basked in. Yet audiences outside Japan may find the subject too serious and yet too slight; there's a reason why films about potential incest aren't often as cute as this." — The List
Posted Jul 29, 2013
4/5 82% Eden (2013) " Eden surprises by managing to paint a vivid and disturbing picture of the trafficking experience within the context of a conventional thriller." — The List
Posted Jul 24, 2013
2/5 69% The Wolverine (2013) " The synopsis promises to put the Wolverine, a blue-collar superhero, into an appropriately realistic criminal environment, but in practice it all adds up to Wolverine fighting the usual big robot in a volcano-sized laboratory." — The List
Posted Jul 24, 2013
3/5 38% Paris Manhattan (2013) " Lellouche does herself no favours by wearing such influences on her sleeve, yet her cast are game, the locations look great, and the whole enterprise has an agreeably frothy touch." — The List
Posted Jul 16, 2013
3/5 75% Play (2011) " Play isn't much fun, but it does skewer the way in which modern selfishness creates social division." — The List
Posted Jul 16, 2013
2/5 86% The Great Hip Hop Hoax () " Killer footage never emerges, just guys goofing off ..." — The List
Posted Jun 28, 2013
4/5 85% Upstream Color (2013) " For those prepared to go with the abstraction, Upstream Color is a rewarding and mind-blowing experience." — The List
Posted Jun 20, 2013
3/5 100% The Deep () " The Deep is a spare and reasonably compelling drama for the first hour, mainly thanks to Ólafsson's star-making turn." — The List
Posted Jun 20, 2013
1/5 10% A Haunted House (2013) " This Haunted House needs a KEEP OUT sign nailed to the door." — The List
Posted Jun 18, 2013
2/5 16% The Last Exorcism Part II (2013) " Writer/director Ed Gass-Donnelly's film offers little ironic edge or incisive imagery, pushing far too hard with an unpleasant emphasis on sexuality, and ending up as a by-the-numbers rehash of the original film's weakest elements." — The List
Posted Jun 10, 2013
2/5 30% Chasing Mavericks (2012) " Despite Butler's considerable charm and undeniably buff appearance, Chasing Mavericks sinks in choppy water." — The List
Posted Jun 6, 2013
3/5 50% Now You See Me (2013) " Makes up in razzle-dazzle what it lacks in intelligence." — The List
Posted Jun 6, 2013
4/5 98% Before Midnight (2013) " Linklater makes use of unshowy direction and natural improvisation from his leads, who both get co-writing credits, creating a remarkably unforced picture of love kindled and rekindled." — The List
Posted Jun 6, 2013
3/5 38% Stand Up Guys (2013) " Stand Up Guys is very much an old man's film, but Stevens just about delivers the performances that its ageing audience demands." — The List
Posted Jun 5, 2013
1/5 7% The Big Wedding (2013) " While it's nice to see talents like Keaton and Sarandon in The Big Wedding, it's ultimately frustrating seeing their talents wasted in Zackham's paper-thin excuse for a rom-com." — The List
Posted May 29, 2013
2/5 64% Epic (2013) " A big, brash but ultimately somewhat boring fairy story that relies too heavily on celebrity casting for appeal." — The List
Posted May 22, 2013
3/5 49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " Luhrmann's gaudy approach is appropriate to the material; as proved by his best novella The Diamond as Big as The Ritz, Fitzgerald understood the distinct allure of grand scale and opulence. " — The List
Posted May 15, 2013
2/5 34% Deadfall (2012) " Grim displays of guilt and remorse are on show from all concerned, but the seriously glum expressions of a high-calibre cast can't inject any meaning into such a contrived story." — The List
Posted May 10, 2013
3/5 58% The Eye of the Storm (2012) " Serious-minded, literate dramas are few and far between outside Oscar season, and until a tired third act, The Eye of the Storm just about manages to live up to its illustrious pedigree." — The List
Posted Apr 30, 2013
2/5 62% Broken (2013) " The final suggestion that people on medication are just a mood-swing from being a danger to the community consigns Norris's dull-looking film to the lowest echelons of stigmatizing thought." — The List
Posted Mar 19, 2013
2/5 36% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " Lacks wit, genuine laughs, or any real sense of wonder, just a couple of misfiring comics in fright-wigs going through the motions." — The List
Posted Mar 13, 2013
3/5 20% Identity Thief (2013) " Identity Thief isn't a great comedy in the class of McCarthy's Bridesmaids, but it's still a decent one ..." — The List
Posted Mar 12, 2013
3/5 89% Compliance (2012) " Zobel's film shocks, but leaves the viewer to uncover the real story for themselves." — The List
Posted Mar 12, 2013
3/5 82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " The result is an oddly broken-backed narrative, with three distinct chapters and no central character to carry the narrative. The ambition, to tell a complex story over two generations, is laudable, but the result isn't entirely satisfying." — The List
Posted Mar 5, 2013
3/5 38% The Guilt Trip (2012) " Despite the odds, both stars strike a few sparks in Anne Fletcher's slight comedy." — The List
Posted Mar 4, 2013
4/5 100% Gangs of Wasseypur () " Kashyap's film is lightning paced, well-acted and breathlessly observes a complex story about a snake-pit of casual killers." — The List
Posted Feb 26, 2013
3/5 52% Thérèse (2013) " Thérèse Desqueyroux works best as a character study, with Tautou impressive as a shrewish, unhappy woman who, despite her extreme actions, finds that her fate remains frustratingly beyond her control." — The List
Posted Feb 26, 2013
4/5 92% O Som ao Redor (Neighbouring Sounds) (2012) " Neighbouring Sounds is a clever, original drama of social concern, with trivial incidents barely masking deep social fissures." — The List
Posted Feb 26, 2013
2/5 —— Before Dawn () " The slow pace and choppy technicalities will deter all but the most hardcore genre fans, although the more determined zombie-philes will find something to sink their teeth into." — The List
Posted Feb 21, 2013
4/5 —— Living Apart Together () " Rather than aping Hollywood dramas, Living Apart Together aims for the unforced sophistication of French cinema, and the mix with pawky Glasgow humour makes for a beguiling blast from the past." — The List
Posted Feb 20, 2013
4/5 69% Stoker (2013) " Neither dealing with the supernatural nor particularly violent, Stoker might not appeal to horror fans, but manages to create something fresh in the thriller genre." — The List
Posted Feb 18, 2013
2/5 13% Safe Haven (2013) " Safe Haven is a blandly 'vanilla' film; attractively shot in picturesque locations, peppered with recognizable if unexciting faces, and delivering a simplistic homily about love conquering all that only a teenage girl could love." — The List
Posted Feb 18, 2013
3/5 70% Jianyu (Reign of Assassins) (2010) " There's little about Chao-Bin's other work to suggest the splendidly choreographed ballets of swordplay that feature here, with Woo's dexterous hand obvious in the fight scenes." — The List
Posted Feb 11, 2013
2/5 11% Sammy's Adventures 2 (Sammy's avonturen 2) () " Sammy's Painfully Long Incarceration would be a better title for this sequel to 2010's A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures." — The List
Posted Feb 11, 2013
4/5 94% I Wish (2012) " A small film with humble ambitions, I Wish is a gentle piece that children may find dull, but tearful adults will recognize that Koreeda captures the essence of childhood dreams." — The List
Posted Feb 4, 2013
2/5 33% Won't Back Down (2012) " 'Dumbing down' a film about educational reform defeats any point; while proficiently made, Won't Back Down's glib feel-good message deserves to fall on deaf ears." — The List
