Scream 3 (2000) 45% EDIT “Despite the efforts of all concerned to up the ante one last time, the sense of déjà vu is overwhelming. ” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 19, 2025 Full Review North by Northwest (1959) 97% EDIT “What is there not to love about this magnificent 1959 thriller?” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 8, 2021 Full Review The White Crow (2018) 68% 3/5 EDIT “A serious-minded, often beautiful, utterly heartfelt character study that nevertheless lacks its astonishing protagonist's fleet-footedness and only partly captures what made him tick.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 20, 2019 Full Review The Aftermath (2019) 26% 3/5 EDIT “You may well enjoy this unusual love story: for its performances, its strong sense of time and place, and its vivid reminder that a war's official end is never really anything of the kind.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Bolshoi Babylon (2015) 78% 4/5 EDIT “It places the traumatised but still astonishingly high-functioning company in national and historical context, peels away its glamorous mask, and lets the backstage dramas of its various damatis personae unfold.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 7, 2016 Full Review Back to the Future (1985) 93% 5/5 EDIT “This fusion of sci-fi, action, romance and comedy could have been a dreadful mess, were it not for writer-director Robert Zemeckis and co-writer Bob Gale's refusal to let a loose line or idea escape their pens.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Star Trek (2009) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Whether watching Kirk and Sulu skydive from space, a rural Mid-West dotted with vast interstellar towers, or Kirk do battle with a very ill-tempered beastie on a frozen moon, it's hard not to gape in wonder.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 17, 2015 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95% EDIT “This film is a towering achievement, and the next installment can't come soon enough.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 12, 2014 Full Review Psycho (1960) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Even now, it's distinctly unnerving.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 8, 2014 Full Review Bugsy Malone (1976) 79% EDIT “Parker's script is as sharp as a wiseguy's suit, his attention to period and genre detail a constant joy, and he coaxes scarily poised performances from his young performers.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 18, 2014 Full Review Quantum of Solace (2008) 63% EDIT “Lacks Casino Royale's narrative drive, and is less than the sum of its parts, [but] those parts are often terrific. See it for them, and see it for Craig's fully-formed Bond: angry, icily unsentimental, and fleetingly borderline psychotic at the close.” – Daily Telegraph (UK) Oct 22, 2008 Full Review
