69% The Wolverine (2013) " Until a third act that collapses in a harebrained heap, the director largely succeeds in keeping the more cartoonish aspects at bay, roughing up the surface with organically staged fight scenes and, crucially, raising the stakes." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 22, 2013
— —— Nerveracker (2010) — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 11, 2013
87% 100 Bloody Acres (2013) " You'll laugh, you'll squirm." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 27, 2013
90% Storm Surfers 3D (2013) " Australian surfing legends Tom Carroll and Ross Clarke-Jones unite and conquer some mighty big waves in this immersive 3D documentary." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 14, 2013
40% Mental (2013) " A cuckoo comedy that puts the fun in dysfunctional." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 25, 2013
55% I Give It a Year (2013) " It winds up rather inelegantly shoehorning salty humor and abrasive sentiment into a genre template, but an above-average number of laugh-out-loud set-pieces compensate for the resulting wobbly narrative." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Feb 25, 2013
47% Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away (2012) " A negligible narrative takes nothing away from the heart-stopping beauty of the visuals in this 3D spectacular." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Dec 19, 2012
67% Dead Europe () " In the end mood is all, and it's a bummer." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 16, 2012
—— Ace Attorney () " A cartoonishly fun, if overlong, ride for those who've never even heard of side characters like Detective Dick Gumshoe and Lotta Hart." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Aug 6, 2012
37% Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) " It's familiar, drawn-out shtick, and the humor lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but there are some visually inventive high points." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 26, 2012
— 50% Swerve () — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 8, 2012
47% Maniac (2013) " This is down and dirty genre filmmaking, and the various slaughters, excruciatingly detailed scalpings and other atrocities are no less gruesome because of the highfalutin approach." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 28, 2012
—— Children of Sarajevo () " Shows a filmmaker whose passion for her subject has now twinned with a maturing proficiency to deliver a drama of some power." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 24, 2012
91% Holy Motors (2012) " A deliciously preposterous piece of filmmaking that appraises life and death and everything in between, reflected in a funhouse mirror." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 24, 2012
65% Antiviral (2013) " If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, David Cronenberg should be feeling pretty chuffed with son Brandon's big-screen debut, a petri dish of high-concept perversity and cultural commentary teeming with lo-fi ickiness." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 21, 2012
0% Confession of a Child of the Century () " The role of a beautiful and damned 19th century libertine sounds like a perfect fit for disheveled English rock poet Pete Doherty, but then there's the little matter of being able to act." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 21, 2012
92% The Sapphires (2013) " A jewel-bright charmer about four spunky indigenous women whose powerhouse voices catapulted them onto the 60s-era world stage as Australia's answer to the Supremes." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 20, 2012
34% Battleship (2012) " Impressive visual effects and Berg's epic set pieces fight against an armada of cinematic clichés and some truly awful dialogue." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 11, 2012
— 59% Any Questions for Ben? () — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Feb 9, 2012
42% Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) " As the band of adventurers skips from one supersized Survivor-like challenge to the next, one can't help feeling the creative potential of Verne's vision is wasted." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 17, 2012
— 78% Santa's Apprentice (L'apprenti Pere Noel) () — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 10, 2011
39% Johnny English Reborn (2011) " A redundant spy farce sequel that's less of a rebirth than a retread." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 19, 2011
62% Griff the Invisible (2011) " A superhero wannabe fights the forces of loneliness and alienation in this uneven Aussie indie." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Aug 19, 2011
58% The Eye of the Storm (2012) " An intelligent, visually sumptuous drama that embraces the grandeur of the Australian literary classic upon which it's based." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 25, 2011
86% The Snowtown Murders (2012) " A well-made but hard-to-watch portrait of Australia's worst serial killer." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 17, 2011
77% Fast Five (2011) " Utterly preposterous, but this car-crazy franchise is armor-plated." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 19, 2011
77% Thor (2011) " The hammer-hurling god of thunder kicks off this superhero summer with a bang." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 18, 2011
72% Rio (2011) " A tropical-colored wingding that will have kids and their chaperones shaking a tail feather to its pulsating Latin beats." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 7, 2011
15% Skyline (2010) " A laughably bad sci-fi mash-up with some above-average special effects." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 11, 2010
64% Tomorrow, When the War Began (2012) " Australia may finally have a homegrown blockbuster on its hands with the terrifically engaging Tomorrow, When the War Began, an action-packed war film for and about teenagers." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 6, 2010
59% Love the Beast (2009) " Bana's easygoing manner and a lingering sense of nostalgia build a mellow mood overall, while shrewd editing by Conor O'Neill and a rocking Aussie soundtrack pump up the volume on the race sequences." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 3, 2009
55% Australia (2008) " The most expensive Australian film ever made is rousing and passionate." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 18, 2008
61% Newcastle (2008) " Cinematographer Richard Michalak's gorgeous water-based action shots guarantee the young target audience will want to head straight out for surf lessons, but there's even less dramatic heft here than in the superior Blue Crush." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 2, 2008
88% The Black Balloon (2008) " Young love triumphs in a terrific Australian indie that deals with autism in an authentic, unsentimental way." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 6, 2008
51% 30 Days of Night (2007) " A terrific horror premise goes begging in the garbled Halloween offering 30 Days of Night." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 24, 2007
50% Gone (2007) " First-time director Ringan Ledwidge conjures up an effectively creepy mood to accompany three young backpackers on an ill-fated road trip across the Aussie desert." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 13, 2007
70% Opal Dream (2006) " This is another tale about dreamers, transplanted to the Australian opal-mining hub of Coober Pedy, where the frenzied quest for the rainbow-colored gemstones creates a modern-day gold rush atmosphere." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 7, 2006
69% The Book of Revelation (2007) " The premise is provocative but the film lingers too long on the scenes of imprisonment, turning them into a kind of soft-porn performance art and leaving the emotional aftershocks less satisfyingly explored." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 16, 2006
40% The Silence (2009) " Eloquent direction lifts this beyond a genre whodunit." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 13, 2006
48% Macbeth (2006) " This is Shakespeare as action film -- furiously paced and unapologetically cinematic. If the baroque sets and costumes often overwhelm the acting, it's unlikely the hipsters will mind." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 13, 2006
65% Jindabyne (2006) " A coiled and enigmatic psychodrama that cements Australian director Ray Lawrence's standing as a fine, if not prolific, filmmaker." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 20, 2006
73% Jet Li's Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) (Legend of a Fighter) (2006) " Witty choreography juices the pedestrian plot." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 15, 2006
—— Caterpillar Wish () " While intelligent performances from the luminous Porter (Better Than Sex) and newcomer Thaine make their unconventional mother-daughter relationship feel thoroughly organic, the script finally collapses under the weight of a narrative pile-up." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 8, 2006
98% Ten Canoes (2007) " An enchanting fable rich in authenticity and shot through with unexpected humor." — Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 20, 2006
3.5/4 56% The Polar Express (2004) " Devoid of 21st-century irony, this visually stunning, action-packed yuletide treat is sweet and, yes, magical in a way that will enchant kids and give older viewers a twinge of nostalgia." — New York Post
Posted Nov 10, 2004
3/4 76% Brother to Brother (2004) " An intelligent and entertaining exploration of racial and sexual politics that brings alive the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, and draws parallels with African-American identity crises of today." — New York Post
Posted Nov 5, 2004
1.5/4 49% Alfie (2004) " Law tries hard to make his Alfie likable, but he's working against the orchestrations of the narrative and merely comes off as feeble, a one-dimensional Eurotrash jerk with outmoded ideas about women and troubles that don't amount to a hill of beans." — New York Post
Posted Nov 5, 2004
2.5/4 14% It's All About Love (2004) " There's something inherently frustrating about the illogical plot and the breezy vagueness of its message, which seems to be linking the global freezing of a near-future world with the coldness in people's hearts." — New York Post
Posted Oct 29, 2004
2/4 38% Birth (2004) " It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that ultimately reveals... not much." — New York Post
