Bronson (2008) 75% EDIT “It's not a masterpiece by any stretch; but it's original and pacy, and those qualities are rare enough.” – Independent (UK) Nov 15, 2017 Full Review Iron Man (2008) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Iron Man manages to be both a lot of fun, and quite possibly the most effective commentary on the war on terror that Hollywood has produced so far -- not the best argued or the most committed, but the one that most people will see, and think about.” – Independent (UK) Jun 9, 2015 Full Review La Danse -- Le Ballet de l'Opera de Paris (2009) 87% 3/5 EDIT “” – Independent (UK) Jan 22, 2013 Full Review The History Boys (2006) 66% 3/5 EDIT “” – Independent (UK) Nov 17, 2011 Full Review The Joneses (2009) 61% 3/5 EDIT “Borte, directing his first film, does a smooth, confident job, so that even though the set-up isn't quite plausible you're happy to go along with it.” – Independent (UK) Apr 12, 2011 Full Review Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005) 88% 2/5 EDIT “” – Independent (UK) Mar 29, 2011 Full Review Séraphine (2008) 88% EDIT “This biopic, which swept the board at the Césaires, is somewhat over-inclined to reverence and simplification; but it is also, some of the time, rewarding and touching.” – Independent (UK) Nov 27, 2009 Full Review Nativity! (2009) 48% 1/5 EDIT “The plot wouldn't pass muster as an episode of a CBBC drama, but its various twists and turns and grotesque emotional idiocies are engineered through some of the most wooden dialogue I've ever heard.” – Independent (UK) Nov 27, 2009 Full Review Mr. Right (2006) 15% 1/5 EDIT “Despite efforts towards the end to import a little serious sentiment, much of the time it feels as though Mr Right is setting out deliberately to confirm every nasty stereotype about gay men.” – Independent (UK) Nov 27, 2009 Full Review Law Abiding Citizen (2009) 26% 2/5 EDIT “The film's entertainment value resides almost entirely in the ingenuity of Butler's modus operandi; but this is cancelled out by the film's underlying stupidity.” – Independent (UK) Nov 27, 2009 Full Review Bunny and the Bull (2009) 67% 2/5 EDIT “The sets have a cardboard cut-out charm that recalls the old animated Paddington Bear series; but that isn't enough to sustain interest once it dawns that for a supposed comedy this is remarkably humour free.” – Independent (UK) Nov 27, 2009 Full Review The Horseman (2008) 57% 2/5 EDIT “In the end, good intentions are overwhelmed by repetitive nastiness - you've seen one man beaten about the face with a crowbar, you've seen 'em all.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Tales From the Golden Age (2009) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Given what we know of Ceausescu's Romania, the Orwellian penetration of the state into every corner of daily life, the mildly comic, wistful tone of this portmanteau of short dramas seems puzzling.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Dead Man Running (2009) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Is there any way of stemming the flow of post-Guy Ritchie cockney crime comedies? Would, say, sticking Danny Dyer's head on a pike somewhere in Bethnal Green be enough of a deterrent? Because I for one would be willing to pay that price.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Starsuckers (2009) 71% 2/5 EDIT “A shambling mix of strained metaphor and truism in the service of a silly conspiracy theory.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Animal House is a self-congratulatory mess; but it's also spattered with terrific one-liners and sight gags, and it's the best showcase extant for John Belushi's subversive, attention-grabbing screen presence.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Citizen Kane (1941) 99% 5/5 EDIT “It would be nice to be able to buck the critical orthodoxy and say how tired and overrated Citizen Kane is; but the dulll truth is, it's still, indisputably, one of the great masterpieces of cinema.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review An American Werewolf in London (1981) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Some of the special effects are a little creaky now, but the snap of Landis's editing and the razor's-edge balance of horror and comedy are still fresh.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review 9 (2009) 57% 2/5 EDIT “A Disneyfied cliché, disfigured by incoherent mysticism and trite warnings about the dangers of technology.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review An Education (2009) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Nick Hornby's screenplay lays out the progress of their relationship, up to the point where David proposes marriage, with great economy and wit.” – Independent (UK) Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Chevolution (2008) 76% 3/5 EDIT “This intelligent documentary wonders how it happened, and how a hardline Marxist keen on political violence became a marketing tool and patron saint of every vaguely anti-establishment movement on the planet.” – Independent (UK) Sep 18, 2009 Full Review I Want to See (2008) 42% 2/5 EDIT “Sincere and nicely shot, but unengaging.” – Independent (UK) Sep 18, 2009 Full Review The Agent (2009) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Another low-budget home-grown product - a comedy with touches of very mild suspense - about an unsuccessful writer confronting his agent.” – Independent (UK) Sep 18, 2009 Full Review Three Miles North of Molkom (2007) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Amusing but overlong documentary about the No Mind festival deep in the lakeside woods of Sweden.” – Independent (UK) Sep 18, 2009 Full Review The Firm (2009) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Given that the original's on DVD, Love's done hooliganism, and the plot gets shut down just when it's getting interesting: why?” – Independent (UK) Sep 18, 2009 Full Review
