Derailroaded (2005) 82% EDIT “This sensitive, informed and ultimately melancholic bio-doc sums it up very eloquently indeed.” – Time Out Jan 4, 2016 Full Review Khumba (2013) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Just enough to keep restless kiddies from wandering off into the wilds.” – Time Out Apr 9, 2014 Full Review Top Cat: The Movie (2011) 14% 1/5 EDIT “Kids will laugh at anything, right? Not this tawdry remake of Hanna-Barbera's cartoon series about a streetwise tom and his posse of alley cats.” – Time Out Aug 2, 2013 Full Review The Smurfs 2 (2013) 14% 3/5 EDIT “There's a modicum of fun to be found in the blue-hued special effects, knockabout humour and decent voice cast.” – Time Out Jul 30, 2013 Full Review Fast & Furious 6 (2013) 71% 2/5 EDIT “With its puerile dialogue, daft performances, flat comic repartee and ear-rupturingly loud sound levels, the experience of watching 'Fast & Furious 6' is like listening to death metal pour out of 500-watt speakers while being strapped to a pneumatic drill.” – Time Out May 14, 2013 Full Review Robosapien: Rebooted (2013) 2/5 EDIT “Despite the tissue-thin plot, slipshod performances and predictable single-mum family dynamics 'Robosapien' is surprisingly easy to endure - a freewheeling kids' film. Nothing more, nothing less.” – Time Out Apr 30, 2013 Full Review Sammy 2 (2012) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Kids' animation doesn't come more basic than this second undersea outing for Sammy the Turtle.” – Time Out Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Rise of the Guardians (2012) 75% 4/5 EDIT “'Rise of the Guardians' is an effervescent dose of fantasia that's pretty hard to dislike. Unless, of course, you're a cynical grump.” – Time Out Nov 27, 2012 Full Review Dinotasia (2012) 25% 1/5 EDIT “Dull, meaningless and pretty frustrating film.” – Time Out Oct 24, 2012 Full Review The Penguin King (2012) 54% 2/5 EDIT “There's little we haven't seen before, including farting elephant seals.” – Time Out Oct 23, 2012 Full Review Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Slightly better than its predecessors - although it's still the same disjointed fluff about an aloof American middle-class kid with a bunch of hang-ups.” – Time Out Jul 31, 2012 Full Review Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) 37% 3/5 EDIT “Frivolous fun.” – Time Out Jul 10, 2012 Full Review Buck (2011) 90% 3/5 EDIT “If you have even a passing interest in horses, you may find yourself smitten with this meditative doc.” – Time Out Apr 24, 2012 Full Review Hollywoo (2011) 2/5 EDIT “Foresti's convivial turn is the only thing going for it.” – Time Out Apr 19, 2012 Full Review Music From the Big House (2010) 50% 3/5 EDIT “McDonald's film ultimately boils down to being just another competent but slightly dull prison doc, albeit a toe-tapping one.” – Time Out Apr 5, 2012 Full Review A Cat in Paris (2010) 83% 2/5 EDIT “It's difficult to imagine the audience for this pretty but hollow film.” – Time Out Apr 3, 2012 Full Review The Island President (2011) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Moves swiftly from political scene-setting to follow Nasheed's every move as he prepares to make an impassioned environmental plea at the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Summit.” – Time Out Mar 27, 2012 Full Review Act of Valor (2012) 28% 2/5 EDIT “'Act of Valor' reeks of military-sanctioned exploitation drama aimed solely at the 'Call of Duty' set.” – Time Out Mar 22, 2012 Full Review Four Horsemen (2012) 71% 4/5 EDIT “This is a film perhaps better suited to DVD, simply because there are thoughts here of such profundity you might feel the need to reach for the rewind button. I, for one, have been left substantially enlightened.” – Time Out Mar 13, 2012 Full Review Bloodcar (2007) 60% 2/5 EDIT “'Blood Car' is essentially a one-joke scenario that never quite adds up to the sum of its mangled body parts.” – Time Out Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Red Dog (2011) 84% 3/5 EDIT “It's not quite as blatant a tearjerker as some of its pooch-based predecessors, and frankly, it's all the better for it.” – Time Out Feb 21, 2012 Full Review Big Miracle (2012) 74% 2/5 EDIT “By-the-book dialogue and lame performances do the film no favours but, hey, worse things happen at sea.” – Time Out Feb 7, 2012 Full Review A Monster in Paris (2011) 86% 3/5 EDIT “'A Monster in Paris' borrows some of its tics from silent cinema, but it also reaches out to films such as 'Frankenstein', 'Phantom of the Opera', 'The Fly' and 'King Kong' for inspiration.” – Time Out Jan 24, 2012 Full Review Presumed Guilty (2008) 4/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Jan 5, 2012 Full Review African Cats (2011) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Hats off to the camera operators who have captured some astonishing wildlife imagery.” – Time Out Dec 22, 2011 Full Review
