The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) 53% EDIT “It's a simple coming of age comedy about four friends, each an archetypal character - the nerdy one, the lovelorn one, the bullshitter and the happy fool - all with similar goals...” – NME (New Musical Express) May 25, 2021 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2010) 99% 8/10 EDIT “Gone are the sarcastic one-liners, replaced by some genuinely funny slapstick...” – NME (New Musical Express) May 19, 2021 Full Review Kick-Ass (2010) 78% 9/10 EDIT “For now let's just sit back and enjoy a film that comes along all too rarely, a film that will reignite your love of celluloid.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 19, 2021 Full Review The Dictator (2012) 56% EDIT “The over saturation of marketing stunts certainly didn't help the appeal but politically and comedically you'll find more to think about and laugh at during a single half hour on The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 13, 2021 Full Review The Thing (2011) 34% EDIT “Sitting in negative digits on the movie-o-meter-as-temperature-scale...” – NME (New Musical Express) May 6, 2021 Full Review The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) 49% 3/5 EDIT “It has moments that will entertain even the most ardent hold-outs - mainly Michael Sheen related - but it ends as it started, a franchise for fans and no-one else.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 5, 2021 Full Review Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) 34% EDIT “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a film in which Abraham Lincoln hunts vampires, spends far too long believing it is something other than it clearly is.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 5, 2021 Full Review We Bought a Zoo (2011) 64% EDIT “While the cynical reviewers might ponder why it couldn't have been a farm instead, Cameron Crowe's latest is a tolerable chapter in the personal life of its director.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 5, 2021 Full Review 21 Jump Street (2012) 85% EDIT “With little in the way of a compelling story the jokes make up for the lack of plot with a hit rate of roughly 70%. More than enough to achieve a passing grade.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 4, 2021 Full Review Lockout (2012) 38% EDIT “...no matter how firmly your food taster is nestled into your jowls there are so many things that a film for general consumption is not allowed to do. Lockout does them all.” – NME (New Musical Express) May 4, 2021 Full Review Haywire (2011) 80% EDIT “A more than decent alternate to the award yearning fare on offer at this time of year.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 30, 2021 Full Review The Muppets (2011) 95% EDIT “Quite possibly the most out and out fun you'll have in a cinema this year...” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 29, 2021 Full Review The Woman in Black (2012) 66% EDIT “Goldman appeared the perfect pick to adapt the play and the book, while still maintaining a fresh spin on things. Which makes it all the more crushing that the film's major flaw should stem from her pen.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Dark Shadows (2012) 35% EDIT “Even hardcore Burton apologists will have a difficult time defending Dark Shadows.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) 60% EDIT “A touching romance, this time with actual touching, A Game of Shadows will while away a couple of hours with a few good set pieces and a couple of giggles.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Wanderlust (2012) 58% EDIT “Rudd illustrates his unchallenging likeability...” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 27, 2021 Full Review G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) 33% EDIT “Appalling blockbuster garbage.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review American Reunion (2012) 45% EDIT “Insert your own 'stale pie' metaphor here, but we'll opt for "It's not inedible."” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Paranormal Activity (2007) 82% EDIT “Enter the cinema expecting a clever little movie, with some neat ideas and pretty decent performances and, if you let it, Paranormal Activity will give you a pretty uncomfortable nights sleep.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Safe House (2012) 52% EDIT “As for the action and choreographed violence, perhaps the number two reason for purchasing a ticket this weekend, again Safe House delivers adequately.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Shame (2011) 79% EDIT “Destined to cause debate, Shame is a film that will stay with you long after...” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Glastonbury The Movie In Flashback (1995) EDIT “It might not rival Temple's 2006 effort for in-depth coverage and historical significance but it'll certainly warm your Worthy-less hearts until June 2013.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Man on a Ledge (2012) 31% EDIT “There's a very thin ledge between 'stupid fun' and 'stupid dull' and for it's first half hour Man On A Ledge teeters perilously close to the abyss.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Bridesmaids (2011) 89% EDIT “Bridesmaids is a film for everyone and one that features some of the finest comedy set-pieces since Mary put spunk in her hair.” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Project X (2012) 29% EDIT “Even those who can name all of 'JLS' might find the experience not dissimilar to standing outside a party with a group of misogynistic dullards yelling obscenities in your ear every ten seconds...” – NME (New Musical Express) Apr 23, 2021 Full Review
