" Sadly, ‘Blindness’ may realise its director’s worst fear: to produce not only an exploitation B-movie but one, paradoxically, spoiled by its own integrity and misplaced ‘artistic’ mise-en-scène and intentions." -- Time Out

Blindness (2008)41%

3/6
 
" Strange for a supposedly 'humanising' franchise, Craig's Bond comes dangerously close to being a cipher himself: only a Bourne-again, action superhero could perform his physical feats." -- Time Out Sydney

Quantum of Solace (2008)66%
/
2/6
 
" Bloody, violent and increasingly derivative, ‘Pride and Glory’ betrays its initial promise as a small-scale, ‘Godfather’-esque social tapestry with crude plotting, variable acting and an all-too-guessable storyline and conclusion." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 7, 2008
 
Pride and Glory (2008)34%
/
1/6
 
" It may trade with startling unoriginality in the comedy of embarrassment and plays on national stereotypes, but at least it doesn’t take itself seriously – although, you suspect, it probably couldn’t if it tried." -- Time Out

Sisterhood (2008)n/a
/
2/6
 
" He shoots simultaneously for ‘wake up, America!’ inspiration and good ol’ boy charm but ends up putting both barrels through his own cowboy-booted foot." -- Time Out

" The period reconstructions are impressive but the script and direction are a little pedestrian." -- Time Out

Partition (2007)40%

2/6
 
" This messy, maudlin portrait of the decline and decline of Puerto Rico-born salsa star Héctor Lavoe wavers uncertainly between cable channel biopic and socially concerned drug movie." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
El Cantante (2007)24%
/
2/6
 
" If you’re a fan of jaundiced views of Hollywood or unedifying portraits of dysfunctional families, look no further." -- Time Out

Kamikaze Girls (2005)60%

2/6
 
" Too gauche, too derivative and merely sporadically amusing." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Three and Out (2008)20%
/
3/6
 
" An ambitious but disappointing, regret-filled psycho-drama." -- Time Out

Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)35%
/
3/6
 
" War was ever a Kubrick-ian hell-ride, futile, fundamentally unheroic and de-humanising, but now it’s mocked by a mad multimedia accompaniment innocent of all real ethical, moral and humanitarian value." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Redacted (2007)43%
/
2/6
 
" Director Florent Emilio Siri (‘The Nest’, ‘Hostage’) shows ability in action sequences and group dynamics but his film never develops sufficiently to raise it much above the conventional." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Intimate Enemies (2007)60%
/
2/6
 
" Even ace editor Walter Murch struggles to give coherence to the professor’s fractured, episodic journey through darkening wartime exile in Geneva, to the brighter revelations of ’50s India and the sun-kissed Mediterranean." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Youth Without Youth (2007)29%
/
3/6
 
" You could call it a cousin of ‘Time Bandits’ or ‘The Princess Bride’, but it lacks the former’s originality and the latter’s heart." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Stardust (2007)76%
/
2/6
 
" An ugly catalogue of personal and familiar abuse." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
We Are All Christs (2006)n/a
/
 
" The final, kinetic aerial battle scenes are eye-poppingly spectacular -- especially in the 3D IMAX-version under review -- but they come way too late to save the film." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 4, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)71%
/
 
" You’d at least expect a decent exploitation movie from this material." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 10, 2007
 
Havoc (2005)40%
/
 
" Diffuse, disappointing, and strangely out of touch." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 30, 2006
 
Breaking and Entering (2007)34%
/
 
" The script is such a showman’s bag of self-mocking clichés, empty tricks and metaphysical baloney, and the heart is never touched." -- Time Out
Posted Jul 29, 2006
 
Angel-A (2007)43%
/
 
" Neither an effective gangland thriller nor an achieved elegy for a lord undone." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
My Kingdom (2002)32%
/
 
" Where Holliday was always too sophisticated a butterfly right from the off, Griffith's copycat performance starts dumb -- but then never takes wing." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Born Yesterday (1993)24%
/
 
" Redford's film sustains a slow mood of simpatico amiability and photographs the landscape with moony or golden washes that are perhaps hard to dislike, but is slain by its adherence to an outdated populist mythology." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Milagro Beanfield War (1988)59%
/
 
" Cage looks cold most of the time, and has retractable stubble. The rest of the cast look like they're waiting for summer." -- Time Out

Trapped in Paradise (1994)14%

" Bertolucci's epic is a disappointment." -- Time Out

Little Buddha (1994)68%

" Aaaaah, what a classic!" -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Josie and the Pussycats (2001)53%
/
 
" Dragoti's dire, dishonest, seldom humorous social comedy has all the nauseating hallmarks of a big-budget sitcom." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
She's Out of Control (1989)7%
/
 
" Director O'Haver fails to supply any proper shape or development." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Get Over It (2001)44%
/
 
" These spin-offs remain animation on the cheap, and none yet -- straitjacketed by fidelity to its respective series -- has attained the density of image and kineticism of design of the art form's true originals." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Doug's 1st Movie (1999)29%
/
 
" A negative and spiritually underwhelming experience." -- Time Out

" The film is strangely uninvolving." -- Time Out

Stuart Little (1999)66%

" Poor timing and muffed set pieces are compounded by implausibility and inconsequence." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Say It Isn't So (2001)9%
/
 
" There are certainly strong moments and efficient set pieces here, too, but for all the claims that the film, adapted from a 1975 book by John Keel, is based on real events, Pellington fails to sustain credibility." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)51%
/
 
" The atmosphere is winning, with the odd felicity peppering the journey with gags and groans." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Chill Factor (1999)7%
/
 
" Finally pretty tedious." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997)63%
/
 
" The clincher is how the actors are reduced to puppets and ciphers; Paltrow straight-jacketed in her Hildy Johnson-style two-piece and the evidently bored Law reduced throughout half the movie to giving the gimlet eye through flying goggles." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 9, 2006
 
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)73%
/
 
" Leaves much to be desired." -- Time Out

The Crush (1993)21%

" Quite what age group this soft-centered entertainment is aimed at is hard to divine." -- Time Out

50 First Dates (2004)44%

" It's all assembly-line stuff." -- Time Out
