Oklahoma! (1955) 87% 4/5 EDIT “50 years on there's still an infectious charm about Oklahoma!” – BBC.com Nov 1, 2007 Full Review A Few Days in September (2006) 47% 3/5 EDIT “A Few Days in September is that rarest and most peculiar of creatures: a French arthouse action thriller.” – BBC.com Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Small Engine Repair (2006) 86% 4/5 EDIT “It's Glen's brilliantly understated performance of the sensitive, troubled Doug that elevates Small Engine Repair way above the competition; by the end, his small journey of quiet redemption will mean everything to you.” – BBC.com Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Born and Bred (2006) 80% 4/5 EDIT “A searing, wonderfully shot, and artfully understated examination of guilt and grief.” – BBC.com Aug 24, 2007 Full Review 12:08 East of Bucharest (2006) 96% 3/5 EDIT “A funny, gentle film that understands the wearying nature of political upheaval.” – BBC.com Aug 17, 2007 Full Review Wild Style (1982) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The acting is stilted, and the story almost non-existent. But that isn't the point, Wild Style is a cult classic - indisputably the most important hip hop movie, ever.” – BBC.com Aug 10, 2007 Full Review I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life & Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal (2007) 80% 4/5 EDIT “A tragic, inspiring film.” – BBC.com Jul 31, 2007 Full Review Macbeth (2006) 49% 2/5 EDIT “A tacky mix of neon lights and bare skin.” – BBC.com Jul 13, 2007 Full Review Black Gold (2006) 84% 3/5 EDIT “True, fair trade coffee is not the newest story around, but Black Gold still makes for arresting viewing.” – BBC.com Jun 8, 2007 Full Review Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (2006) 87% 4/5 EDIT “A pitch-perfect, and hilarious, spoof on pop industry pretension and the biopic format.” – BBC.com Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Satan (2006) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Vincent Cassel is the overpowering presence here; his perma-grinning, unkempt Joseph is brilliantly unsettling.” – BBC.com Feb 23, 2007 Full Review The Bridge (2006) 67% 3/5 EDIT “despite the shocking, up-close look, we're no closer to a real understanding of the terrible urge to end it all.” – BBC.com Feb 16, 2007 Full Review Iraq in Fragments (2006) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Watch the evening news and you get a view of Iraq from high above the wreckage. In this fascinating doc, director James Longley shows us how things look on the ground.” – BBC.com Jan 27, 2007 Full Review Requiem (2006) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A naturalistic and thrillingly powerful film, with a stand-out performance from Hller at its centre.” – BBC.com Nov 21, 2006 Full Review Election (2005) 86% 2/5 EDIT “It's a thrilling premise. What a shame, then, that Election can't get the basics right.” – BBC.com Oct 28, 2006 Full Review The Aryan Couple (2004) 12% 2/5 EDIT “A case study in why Holocaust movies are so difficult to get right.” – BBC.com Oct 17, 2006 Full Review The Last Kiss (2006) 45% 3/5 EDIT “This drama is a well-crafted and heartfelt look at commitment, infidelity and the end of youth.” – BBC.com Oct 17, 2006 Full Review Tideland (2005) 31% 3/5 EDIT “Tideland contains more shining, jewel-like moments than most films. It will reward your patience.” – BBC.com Sep 23, 2006 Full Review The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2005) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Fiscuteanu's Lazarescu is a strange, compelling creation, and if you allow it time, this haunting, artful movie will get under your skin.” – BBC.com Jun 6, 2006 Full Review The Benchwarmers (2006) 13% 2/5 EDIT “The Benchwarmers is better than it should have been. Only, that's not saying much.” – BBC.com Jun 6, 2006 Full Review Deep Sea (2006) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Fancy a spot of scuba diving? Without getting wet? And in the company of Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet?” – BBC.com Mar 11, 2006 Full Review Lucky Number Slevin (2006) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Like its leading man, this movie presents a charming façade with nothing much underneath.” – BBC.com Mar 11, 2006 Full Review Lady Vengeance (2005) 76% 4/5 EDIT “An unsettling mix of stylish visuals, surreal fantasy, and shocking violence.” – BBC.com Feb 7, 2006 Full Review
