Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
3/5	59%	The Eye of the Storm (2012)	" Although the story holds much premise, The Eye of the Storm survives mostly off the performances of the leading cast members." — HeyUGuys Posted May 3, 2013
2/5	——	Robosapien: Rebooted ()	" There may be shades of E.T. To this, but it just hasn't got that depth or emotional edge that makes kids films so poignantly well-rounded at times." — HeyUGuys Posted May 3, 2013
2/5	26%	21 And Over (2013)	" A silly comedy that is rife with influences from those that came before." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 29, 2013
5/5	100%	Metro Manila ()	" Metro Manila comes up trumps in every respect, but particularly within its narrative." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 28, 2013
3.5/5	71%	In a World... (2013)	" Funny, touching and warm-hearted, you can't ask for too much more from the first feature film by a young director, and one made on a relatively low-budget." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 28, 2013
2.5/5	62%	Evil Dead (2013)	" Comparisons to the original are inevitable yet the filmmakers deserve the right for this to be judged of its own accord and it's not a terrible movie." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 15, 2013
3.5/5	48%	Olympus Has Fallen (2013)	" Olympus Has Fallen is just riotously entertaining, and although nothing particularly new or original, it manages to keep you captivated and takes the viewer on one hell of a ride." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 15, 2013
3.5/5	92%	The Gatekeepers (2013)	" Although The Gatekeepers may not be quite theatrical nor dramatic enough for it to be highly recommended as a cinematic experience, this does feel like a film that really should be seen." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 11, 2013
2.5/5	29%	Erased (2013)	" Although telling a decent story, on the whole The Expatriate is ultimately rather forgettable - not to mention the frustrating predictability of the narrative." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 5, 2013
3/5	29%	All Things To All Men ()	" All Things to All Men is relentless and entertaining in its fast paced narrative: a film that allows no respite from beginning to end." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 4, 2013
3.5/5	35%	Dark Skies (2013)	" Dark Skies is a good story, well told and one that keeps you on the edge of your seat." — HeyUGuys Posted Apr 4, 2013
3/5	68%	Trance (2013)	" Trance is halfway between being a complete mess and an absolute masterpiece." — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 22, 2013
4/5	52%	Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)	" Singer should be commended for bringing this fairytale to life triumphantly, enlarging it for the cinema screen, and adding that epic quality a film such as this requires." — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 22, 2013
3/5	69%	The Croods (2013)	" The film remains as a very conventional, somewhat formulaic animation, which although enjoyable in parts, doesn't bring anything particularly new to the genre" — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 20, 2013
4/5	68%	The Spirit of '45 ()	" The Spirit of '45 is an important piece of cinema to go and see, and one that truly represents the essence of Britain." — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 14, 2013
1/5	13%	Red Dawn (2012)	" You're constantly asking yourself 'Will it matter if I leave half-way through this film?"?!" — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 14, 2013
3/5	——	Vinyl ()	" Vinyl is a harmless bit of good fun, and although it's easy to pick holes, it tells a good story and remains under 90 minutes long." — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 14, 2013
3/5	30%	Broken City (2013)	" Although Broken City promises more than is ultimately delivered, it remains an easy to indulge in thriller." — HeyUGuys Posted Mar 1, 2013
3.5/5	52%	This is 40 (2012)	" This is 40 has plenty of funny, memorable moments to take away with you" — HeyUGuys Posted Feb 14, 2013
2/5	15%	A Good Day To Die Hard (2013)	" With little going for A Good Day to Die Hard in any aspect really, it's certainly a disappointing addition to the Die Hard franchise" — HeyUGuys Posted Feb 13, 2013
3.5/5	63%	Hitchcock (2012)	" Hitchcock remains an enjoyable film. A film about Hitchcock this may be, but not necessarily a film for Hitchcock fans." — HeyUGuys Posted Feb 8, 2013
3/5	20%	The Wee Man ()	" On the whole, The Wee Man is a fascinating story well told - the first steps in making a decent movie." — HeyUGuys Posted Jan 18, 2013
3/5	32%	Gangster Squad (2013)	" As long as you take Gangster Squad for what it is and view it as the light-hearted (albeit very violent) drama that it's intended to be, you're bound to enjoy yourself, as despite this title's many shortcomings." — HeyUGuys Posted Jan 9, 2013
1/5	4%	Playing for Keeps (2012)	" Hitting our screens on New Year's Day, let's cross our fingers and hope that Playing for Keeps isn't an indication as to how the rest of 2013 will be for cinema. Best to get it out of the way early, I suppose!" — HeyUGuys Posted Dec 21, 2012
4.5/5	93%	Zero Dark Thirty (2013)	" There is something definitive about Zero Dark Thirty as a piece of filmmaking, as though Bigelow is concluding the entire ordeal for us on the big screen, as a film that could well earn her yet another Oscar." — HeyUGuys Posted Dec 21, 2012
2.5/5	——	U.F.O. ()	" You certainly can't complain about the entertainment value of the feature. However when you strip it down and analyse is critically, there is a lot left to be desired." — HeyUGuys Posted Dec 20, 2012
2.5/5	——	Love Bite ()	" Despite Love Bite's shortcomings, it is an original, undemanding story: a conventional romantic comedy about virgins it may be, but with added werewolves." — HeyUGuys Posted Nov 12, 2012
4/5	58%	I, Anna ()	" A provocative and artful thriller that is bound to intrigue and compel you." — HeyUGuys Posted Oct 17, 2012
1/5	21%	Taken 2 (2012)	" Most definitely not the great sequel that we were all hoping for. Way too dumbed down to fit in with a rating certificate and very disappointing." — HeyUGuys Posted Sep 25, 2012
2.5/5	43%	To Rome with Love (2012)	" If you turned on the lights at the end of To Rome With Love, all you would see is the face of a film critic, overcome with a frustrating sense of unfulfillment." — HeyUGuys Posted Sep 23, 2012
1.5/5	31%	The Dinosaur Project (2012)	" The Dinosaur Project, is exactly what you would expect from a found footage orientated, British film about dinosaurs... but that, unfortunately, is not a positive acknowledgement." — HeyUGuys Posted Aug 13, 2012
