Tense, powerful and considerably less crass than "Crash," Elah may be jammed with ideas that don’t all connect, but Jones’ devastating performance makes this a compassionate and very human look at the Iraq conflict. -

Outrageous and endearing, the Zombieland team swaps horror for crime in a daft caper that's undoubtedly slight but terrifically entertaining all the same. Very fast and lots of fun.- Posted Sep 12, 2011

There is bound to be a large appreciative audience for this chick flick. But it might not be you. -

A blockbuster that offers enough quirky pleasures to feel fresh and unpredictable. -

A divisive film - too overwrought for some, perfectly emotionally pitched for others - how much it will appeal will depend on how romantically inclined the viewer is feeling. -

Stagey filming aside, this is a sharp and controlled study of celebrity obsession. -

It wants to be a modern "Taxi Driver"; it manages to be the new Falling Down, with Foster as fierce as ever. -

If you are immune to the charms of Carrie and co., this will do little to convert you. Still, it has more than enough sass, style and sentiment to keep the faithful satisfied. Add a star if you're a fan. -

While never as trailblazing as its subject, The Express is a worthy addition to the lengthy canon of sports biopics -

Beyoncé proves her Dreamgirls turn was no fluke in this so-so Blues melodrama. -

A fun, action-packed reintroduction to Conan Doyle's classic characters. Part Two should provide more in the way of scope. -

Sheen thrives in the guise of the idiosyncratic Clough in a brilliantly candid, if bitty, football parable. -

Oldman and Seyfried prove to be the big attractions, but Hardwicke's Riding Hood legend still lacks bite.- Posted Apr 11, 2011

Don't expect the puppet to wisecrack - there's more pain here than in "The Passion Of The Christ." It never quite comes together in a satisfying way, but it's still a brave, strange, brain-stirring piece of filmmaking.- Posted Jun 13, 2011

Despite a top-notch cast performing well, and bravely in the case of Knightley, this is an austere, somewhat repressed movie. It never really gets under the skin in the way Cronenberg does at his best.- Posted Feb 6, 2012

While not quite on a par with Andrew Haigh's "Weekend," this is still an undeniably powerful piece of filmmaking.- Posted Oct 29, 2012

A mirthless shot in the dark that misses the target by some distance. -

Humdrum adaptation that should, given the ripe nature of its source material, have been much better. -

Flat and unfunny, this merits a second star based entirely on Scott’s cameo. Kev, get thee to a typewriter. You’re so much better than this. -

This feels bigger and more cinematic than the first film, and sees a progression in the lives of the characters. But many of the jokes are beyond broad, and the Middle Eastern stereotypes are shockingly cack-handed. -

Despite winning turns by Lewis and an on-form Goldblum, the laughs are in short supply. -

William Thomas 40
Hardly a classic given the talents of Carell, Rudd and Roach at his best. It bungles utilising plenty of talent in a lightweight comedy effort that brings little fresh to the table. -

High hopes of magic from the Gondry-Rogen pairing are dashed. Some neat touches aside, this isn't so much eternal sunshine, more superbad.- Posted Jan 12, 2011

Slow, ponderous and as shallow as it thinks it is deep, lifted only by an impressive opening and fine work from Damon and Howard.- Posted Jan 24, 2011

Even with The Exorcist in the world, there is still scope for a contemporary, shocking and thrilling film to be made on the subject of possession. But this is not it: some found footage should really just stay lost.- Posted Mar 12, 2012

Lacking the bite of "Attack The Block," Stiller and co. are happy to fall back on their usual shtick, with director Schaffer providing barely enough juice to power the laughs.- Posted Aug 27, 2012

What could have been an effective excoriation of US drug policy and a proper look at the violence inherent in the trade is wasted on a simplistic thriller that offers very little, especially given who is behind the camera. Sorry if that harshes anyone's buzz.- Posted Sep 17, 2012
