2/5	Avenue Montaigne (2007)	"Without any change to its essential cosiness, it could surely have been more surprising in its emotional scenes and funnier in its comic ones."	Edward Porter

3/5	Bamako (2006)	"while the film may be impaired as an oral treatise, Sissako’s use of the trial is still vindicated. It provides rich symbolism in what is, on the whole, a stimulating work."	Edward Porter

1/5	Because I Said So (2007)	"As well as providing lifestyle porn, the many scenes set in stylish kitchens mean there is usually a cake on hand for somebody to be splattered with. That’s the level of the bland attempts at comedy."	Edward Porter

3/5	Blood Diamond (2006)	"The best thing about it is the convincing acting by DiCaprio and Hounsou."	Cosmo Landesman

2/5	Bobby (2006)	"If Estevez’s drama had been as strong as [RFK's] speech, Bobby would have been a far better film."	Cosmo Landesman

3/5	The Bridge (2006)	"There are harrowing moments: who could not be moved by a parent talking about a son’s suicide? But you do not leave the cinema with a better understanding of suicide."	Cosmo Landesman

	Casino Royale (2006)	"This is a prototype Bond we have never seen before. It seems we have underestimated you, Mr Craig."	Stuart Wavell

2/5	College Road Trip (2008)	"Children might find the slapstick routines amusing, but for older viewers this is a mirthless voyage. "

2/5	The Fountain (2006)	"I’ve sat through lots of navel-gazing movies that would have been vastly improved by the addition of some 16th-century conquistador action; Aronofsky’s film is still a bore, Its ideas and images too airy-fairy to have emotional force."	Edward Porter

2/5	Get Smart (2008)	"Peter Segal’s film is only occasionally funny."	Edward Porter

2/5	The Good Shepherd (2006)	"Never manages to create a gripping strand to hold our attention."	Edward Porter

-	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	"Lucas Considers a Fifth Indiana Jones"	Will Lawrence

-	The Insider (1999)	Click here to see the review.	Cosmo Landesman

4/5	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	"Eastwood has managed to humanise these enemy soldiers in a way no Hollywood war film has done before."	Edward Porter

2/5	Lives of the Saints (2006)	"Not every turn in the story is well judged, but what’s more damaging is that the film’s general aura is not sufficiently powerful."	Edward Porter

5/5	Los Olvidados (1950)	"In [Bunuel's] vigorous storytelling, he not only finds forceful images in the drama’s reality, but adds a dream sequence — a miniature masterpiece that, by itself, is reason enough to see the film."	Edward Porter

1/5	The Number 23 (2007)	"Spookily, it must have been in about the 23rd minute that my spirits began to sink and I thought: “There’d better be an awfully clever pay-off at the end of this.” Well, there isn’t."	Edward Porter

4/5	Old Joy (2006)	"A surprising denouement provides poignancy, repaying the goodwill the film inspires through its mellow combinations of music and imagery."	Edward Porter

1/5	School for Scoundrels (2006)	"Only toward the end of the film do the hostilities reach a level of recklessness with any potential to be funny. If things had started at that pitch and been ramped up from there, Phillips might have had a movie worth making."	Edward Porter

3/5	The Science of Sleep (2006)	"Another comic love story that takes us inside a character’s psyche, but Kaufman’s rock-solid jokes are replaced by whimsy."	Edward Porter

2/5	Sheitan (2006)	"If only Cassel had saved his performance for a collaboration with the League of Gentlemen."	Edward Porter

3/5	The 9th Company (2005)	"The characters are given life by the script and actors, while the mountainous terrain (provided by Crimea) adds novelty to the combat scenes."	Edward Porter

2/5	Them (2007)	"The nature of the couple’s tormentors makes the action scarier than it would have been with, say, a supernatural monster, but it also represents a cheap and nasty move by Moreau and Palud."	Edward Porter

1/5	The Truth About Love (2004)	"The film is silly when it should be sexy, witless when trying to be funny. Everyone involved is probably deeply embarrassed to be associated with it."	Cosmo Landesman

4/5	Venus (2006)	"Like a variation on Death in Venice, only this could be Death in Kentish Town."	Cosmo Landesman
