4/4 37% Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) " With the wedding ruined and the future of the world at stake, it's showtime. Suddenly, Tim Story goes CGI crazy delivering scene after scene of edge-of-your-seat action that will make your eyeballs bleed." — Sun Online
Posted Jul 9, 2007
2.5/4 40% Shrek the Third (2007) " Unfortunately, a few flashes of brilliance don't stop this being a disappointing follow-up to the brilliant first two films. don't let that stop you from taking your kids to see it so they can make up their own minds." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 29, 2007
4/4 49% The Flying Scotsman (2006) " It's stirring stuff from start to finish which will make our friends from north of the border proud to be Scottish. Go See." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 29, 2007
2/4 44% Hostel: Part II (2007) " Cue the blood-gushing finale, which has a few surprises up its sleeve. I wasn't a fan of the original and, despite Hostel: Part II's slicker look, I'm still not." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 29, 2007
3/4 72% Golden Door (2007) " It's an eye-opening insight into pre-Virgin Atlantic travel, beautifully acted by its mainly Italian cast and guaranteed to make you count your blessings." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 29, 2007
1/4 8% Captivity (2007) " With only hunky Daniel Gillies on hand to offer help and essential hair products, the question is can her career survive such a lame script? In a word, no." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 22, 2007
2.5/4 29% Lucky You (2007) " As Kenny Rogers once said: "It's all about knowing when to hold 'em and knowing when to fold 'em". In poker terms this over-long flop is a busted flush." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 22, 2007
4/4 74% La Vie en Rose (La Mome) (2007) " If that's not a movie, I don't know what is. A must-see." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 22, 2007
3/4 94% Ne le Dis à Personne (Tell No One) (2006) " It's exhausting but enthralling from start to finish. Once you've seen it I guarantee you'll want to tell all your friends." — Sun Online

Posted Jun 15, 2007

Posted Jun 8, 2007
2.5/4 100% The City of Violence (Jjakpae) (2006) " KOREAN cinema's answer to Quentin Tarantino, Ryoo Seung Wan lives up to his all-action reputation with this bone-crunching, chop-socky revenge thriller." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 8, 2007
2/4 34% The Chumscrubber (2005) " Sadly, despite Bell's eye-catching performance and Glenn Close's disturbing Stepford Wife portrayal, I found this messy movie as self-absorbed as most of its characters." — Sun Online
Posted Jun 8, 2007
3.5/4 70% Ocean's Thirteen (2007) " Funny, finely-tuned and flashier than an Essex boy on a night out in Romford . . . GO SEE!" — Sun Online

Posted May 4, 2007
3/5 63% Spider-Man 3 (2007) " Spider-Man 3 is top-notch entertainment but still fails to live up to the previous two outings." — Sun Online
Posted May 4, 2007
3/5 40% Straightheads (Closure) (2007) " Payback involving a shotgun, a kitchen table and a heap of pain." — Sun Online
Posted Apr 27, 2007
3/5 15% The Breed (2006) " So-bad-itâ(TM)s-actually-quite-good teen scream from horror master Wes Craven." — Sun Online
Posted Apr 27, 2007
5/5 93% This Is England (2007) " This is the best of British . . . UNMISSABLE." — Sun Online
Posted Apr 27, 2007
3.5/5 54% Alpha Dog (2007) " It's Beverly Hills 90210 on crystal meth as a gang of posh potheads lose the plot when a kidnapping goes wrong." — Sun Online
Posted Apr 20, 2007
4/4 74% Sunshine (2007) " Brilliantly mixes eye-popping effects and edge-of-your-seat action to make this sci-fi scorcher the hottest ticket around." — Sun Online

4/4 19% Factory Girl (2007) " It's Sienna Miller's star that shines brightest in this heartbreaking cautionary tale." — Sun Online
Posted Mar 16, 2007
3.5/4 21% Outlaw (2007) " Strong language and bone-crunching tear-ups won't appeal to the faint-hearted - but for fans of in-your-face action, this is the business." — Sun Online
Posted Mar 11, 2007
3/4 54% The Good Shepherd (2006) " On paper this had "belter" written all over it. Sadly, Damon's lifeless performance in the lead role failed to keep me gripped throughout the movie's bum-numbing 167 minutes." — Sun Online
Posted Feb 23, 2007

1.5/4 5% Because I Said So (2007) " If there's a worse screenplay in 2007 than this offering from Karen Leigh Hopkins and Jessie Nelson, it'll be written in crayon." — Sun Online
Posted Feb 16, 2007
4/5 91% Hot Fuzz (2007) " The eye-popping action is worthy of the blockbusters it lampoons and a razor-sharp script packed with top one-liners make this easily the most arresting Brit-com of 2007." — Sun Online

Posted Jan 26, 2007
2.5/4 51% The Fountain (2006) " If Kubrick's 2001 got your juices flowing with its stunning, unexplained other-worldliness, this is a movie you could be mad for. Or it might be just a load of old tosh." — Sun Online
Posted Jan 26, 2007

Posted Jan 26, 2007
4/5 89% Venus (2006) " You never know - it might just be eighth time lucky for the old dog come the Oscars." — Sun Online
Posted Jan 26, 2007
4.5/4 66% The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) " The on-screen chemistry between father and son is a winning formula - lifting the film from just another tear-jerker into a heartfelt and compelling slice of cinema." — Sun Online
Posted Jan 14, 2007
3/4 29% Smokin' Aces (2007) " It's a Lock, Stock-style story of back-stabbing hoods, bloodshed and boys' toys that boasts a cracking cast on top form. Highly entertaining." — Sun Online
