A 89% Wild Style (2013) " I guess it depends on what you go to the movies for, but for me Wild Style is a classic and a remarkable example of what the medium can do to an audience." — Glenn Dunks
Posted Oct 2, 2013
B+ 74% Concussion (2013) " Concussion is a remarkably sex-positive film and for that it should be commended." — Glenn Dunks
Posted Oct 1, 2013
A- 89% Prodigal Sons (2010) " This film should be shown to every parent of a gay child." — Glenn Dunks
Posted Sep 16, 2013
35% Larry Crowne (2011) " Hanks' dorky routine - right on through to the ridiculous ELO-soundtracked end credits as he and Roberts drives around on a scooter in front of a green screen - is thankfully not as draining as one may assume." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
44% Bad Teacher (2011) " [S]ucceeds due to the sheer determination of its towering lead performance... Diaz and her supporting cast routinely spin gold out of innocuous moments with blunt force dialogue delivery and physical determination." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
90% The Illusionist (L'illusionniste) (2010) " An 80-minute, hand-drawn animated French film without dialogue and with one of the most depressing finale acts ever committed to celluloid: this is The Illusionist. It's also some sort of divine masterpiece." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
85% Old Joy (2006) " Old Joy is a weaker effort than Meek's Cutoff and Wendy and Lucy, sure, but still a key early step in the career of this impressive filmmaker." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
85% Wendy and Lucy (2008) " The final scenes will tear your heart out, but perhaps not in the way you expect." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
85% Meek's Cutoff (2011) " Reichardt's film is - to put it simply - a masterpiece." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
94% Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) " [It] remains a vital piece of filmmaking " — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
95% American Graffiti (1973) " Nearly 40 years later it still plays as a loose and vibrant testament to an era that is so distinctly America." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
51% Brighton Rock (2011) " Joffe's removal of the story from the classical theatricality of the 1930s to the more contemporary and hip aesthetic of the 1960s just doesn't work in all the ways he may have intended. " — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
80% Smash His Camera (2010) " Smash His Camera is a treasure trove for old Hollywood obsessives." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
90% Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2011) " Weerasethakul's sixth feature is a typically slowburning experience of art cinema that doesn't feature a single spoken word until eight minutes in and is as equally enchanting as it is infuriating." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
59% Kaboom (2011) " Araki has crafted an entertaining, violently funny movie that's amongst his best work yet." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
83% Copacabana (2010) " The film finds occasional big laughs out of Huppert's observations of those around her and eventually warms the audience to this character." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
86% Unstoppable (2010) " Unstoppable is the sort of movie in which characters recite dialogue like 'we're not talking about a train, we're talking about a missile the size of The Chrysler Building'... an incredibly fun time at the cinema." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
73% Piranha 3-D (2010) " Filled with recognisable faces, packed with excessive blood and gore and jokes as corny as they are hilarious, Piranha 3D is, if nothing else, the most honest and unpretentious piece of filmmaking of 2010." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
67% Broderskab (Brotherhood) (2010) " A compelling look at Denmark's hidden race issues and proves to be a stunning, teary-eyed romance between the most unlikely of characters" — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
72% I Love You Phillip Morris (2010) " [E]asily one of the best comedies of the last several years." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
78% Red Hill (2010) " The production values are first rate and the action, heavenly influenced by old-fashioned westerns, is brutal and perfectly staged." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
88% Machete Maidens Unleashed! (2011) " This unofficial sequel to Not Quite Hollywood isn't as enjoyable as that title, its selection of films is less varied and less passionately produced, but it is still a wild and hysterical time at the movies." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
99% Toy Story 3 (2010) " Consider it one last farewell to the innocence of youth and bid adieu to this Story." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
63% Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) " What Hot Tub Time Machine critically lacks is any sense of wit in its humour. Vomit, urination, male nudity and gay panic jokes take up a large amount of the film's time." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
43% Robin Hood (2010) " It's a prequel of sorts to the popular folklore, a prequel that nobody asked for." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
36% New York, I Love You (2009) " Cinema-goers won't find much to dig their teeth into with this disappointing collection of shorts. " — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
80% I Am Love (2010) " anybody who wants to experience cinema at its most cinematic and grand should rush and experience it for themselves. It is a truly stunning motion picture and one that ranks as the best film 2010 has so far offered." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
85% A Single Man (2009) " Ford's film is an addict for prettiness and in the process resembles an excessively over-designed photo shoot rather than a film." — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
34% The Wolfman (2010) " Who would have thought that only six weeks into 2010 we would have a contender for worst film of the year?" — Trespass
Posted Sep 15, 2013
C+ 33% Jayne Mansfield's Car (2013) " War is hell, duh. That's still all I can figure Thornton's film amounts to." — Glenn Dunks
Posted Sep 13, 2013
70% Friends With Benefits (2011) " An abominable beast of a film." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
92% Senna (2011) " [Director Asif Kapadia] allows his documentary gaze to fall upon the sport of motor-racing in this thrilling exploration into the life of a man who aimed to do as much for those less fortunate as he than he did for the sport." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
95% Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2011) " Fascinating artworks by early man, sure, but they're let down by Herzog's long, rambling soliloquies about the history of homosapiens, albino crocodiles, and Baywatch... These sequences would have been right at home in a 45-minute IMAX film. " — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
81% Higher Ground (2011) " Higher Ground is a fantastic debut for Farmiga." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
58% Red State (2011) " Smith's greatest failure with Red State is that he will provide Fred Phelps with an even bigger ego to go along with the boosted Google alerts he is bound to receive." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
83% Warrior (2011) " Director Gavin O'Connor tries sprucing up the material by swapping out boxing for mixed martial arts, but it's still the same old story told the same old way. At least Real Steel had robots." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
58% Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2011) " If the scares aren't all quite as effective as the rest of the film, then there's still plenty to tickle the nerves of a less jaded horror fan." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
98% Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) " Gunslingers, one-road towns, horse and buggies... Once Upon a Time in the West has them all, and spread across a sprawling near three hour running time that is as punishing on the ol' rickety knees as it is rewarding to the eyes." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
77% The Debt (2011) " Younger audiences will likely find The Debt too slow for their liking, but what it lacks in realistic casting it gains in meatily plotted espionage and weighty drama." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
94% Moneyball (2011) " Australia may not exactly be mad for the game, but I suspect - I hope - that the latest film from Bennett Miller (Capote) will inspire a few more people to become immersed in it." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
17% Shark Night 3D (2011) " When I wasn't laughing at the scenes of sharks leaping out of the water to attack their prey (in trees! on jetskis!) I was questioning the happy coincidence of a runaway motorboat heading directly towards a pier littered with flammable gas tanks." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
100% Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) " One of the best, and funniest, screenplays ever written..." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
63% Another Earth (2011) " Buried within Another Earth's framework is a wonderful sci-fi movie, but Cahill and Marling have unfortunately set it amongst this otherwise drab and predictable human drama." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
91% Amarcord (2009) " Fellini's ability to compose a frame that oozes baroque drama and vitality is almost unparalleled and Amarcord more or less succeeded for me in evoking a time period through the eyes of a young boy..." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
46% Happy Feet Two (2011) " It shares more in common with the brash lunacy of Rango than the safe, flat work of Arthur Christmas despite the similarly chilly locals of the latter." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
91% Arthur Christmas (2011) " Bah humbug!" — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
89% The Descendants (2011) " The Descendants is an exercise in why women are such horrible, despicable shrews. When this film isn't demonising its female characters for daring to be unhappy in their marriage, it's condescending them for showing too much emotion..." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
86% The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) " Whilst Fincher doesn't exactly blow the original out of the water, he does add enough to make the project feel less like an unnecessary retread than it otherwise may have." — Trespass
Posted Sep 8, 2013
77% War Horse (2011) " They will keep trying and trying until only the blackest of hearts are left un-moved. I guess I should hand in my organ donation card because I clearly don't have a heart judging from the dismissive reaction I had to this patently artificial film." — Trespass
