T-METER

3/5
 
"The film's forlorn charm is a little reminiscent of Cameron Crowe's adolescent memoir Almost Famous. It's a tiny bit soppy, too, but you can forgive that in a teenager." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)67%
/
3/5
 
"The film is concerned with observing the passage of time, the change in the light, the immemorial contours of the landscape, and, in one shot, a very touching pieta of a boy and his new baby sibling. Compelling stuff if you can stay with it." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Times and Winds (2008)85%
/
3/5
 
"For most of its length, this is a grippingly unpleasant picture of barbaric, gratuitous evil, stealthier and scarier than Funny Games, to which it bears a slight resemblance." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
The Strangers (2008)43%
/
2/5
 
"For a while their stupid rivalry, insults and petulant displays of outrage are funny, but like the talented child who won't be quiet for a second, the act eventually begins to grate." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)53%
/
1/5
 
"This "issue" movie from Belgian director Nic Balthazar throws a dramatic feint so improbable one can almost see a cartoon question mark floating above the audience's heads." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Ben X (2007)65%
/
1/5
 
"Kassovitz creates a grungy dystopia, but the action has the crazed, over-edited ruckus of a death-metal video and the top "international" cast is notable only for being miscast." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Babylon A.D. (2008)4%
/
3/5
 
"The French director François Ozon has taken Elizabeth Taylor's beadily satiric novel and transformed it into a droll and somewhat disturbing fantasia on the creative temperament." -- Independent
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Angel (2007)47%
/
2/5
 
"Somers Town is Meadows' first venture outside his East Midlands stamping-ground. It has its lyrical moments, but I watched most of it through splayed fingers." -- Independent
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Somers Town (2008)89%
/
2/5
 
"We sit back and wait for the laughs. Which come pretty slow and infrequent, though Carell does his straight-faced best to act out the A-Z of Hilarious." -- Independent
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)52%
/
3/5
 
"Contemporary footage of various pseuds, wannabe artists and hangers-on fails to establish what made any of them interesting in the first place, and if you don't revere the cult of Warhol, the entire project looks quite pointless." -- Independent
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Face Addict (2008)30%
/
1/5
 
"Oh no, it's a Martin Lawrence family comedy, and it's sponsored by Disney. What kind of a sadist put those two together? Come back, Ice Cube, all is forgiven. Actually, please don't." -- Independent
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
College Road Trip (2008)13%
/
3/5
 
"All the same, this isn't a patch on the phantsamagoric splendour of Pan's Labyrinth, over-egging every set-piece and outstaying its welcome by at least half an hour." -- Independent
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)89%
/
1/5
 
"On balance, gouging one's eyeballs with a chopstick would be more fun than watching this crummy tween comedy about a Californian princess." -- Independent
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Wild Child (2008)20%
/
1/5
 
"The only thing that would make me punch the air is the sight of the syntax-mangling Yoda being comprehensively squashed. Alas, we have not heard the last from the old gonk." -- Independent
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
The Clone Wars (2008)20%
/
3/5
 
"It's lucky that Amy Adams and Frances McDormand lend their best charms to Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, otherwise this featherweight Art Deco fancy might drift away like a soap bubble, and go 'pop!'" -- Independent
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)77%
/
3/5
 
"A heartening example of a reputation deservedly rehabilitated." -- Independent
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)78%
/
3/5
 
"The film works mostly in ellipses and silences, establishing a solemnly mysterious mood." -- Independent

The Banishment (2007)56%
/
2/5
 
"Then you wait for the moment one of the regular girls gets injured, the hostess has to find a replacement and... the rest you know." -- Independent

Make It Happen (2008)17%
/
2/5
 
"Kate Winslet does a syrupy voice-over to this bedtime story, but given what we know of foxes, it's a tough one to swallow." -- Independent
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
The Fox & the Child (2008)47%
/
3/5
 
"Padilha gets as close to the daily violence as City of God, though this feels more like a documentary than an epic." -- Independent
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Elite Squad (2008)52%
/
4/5
 
"Coixet has done more than honour it; she has found a tenderness and vulnerability that were so deeply buried as to be almost undetectable." -- Independent
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)74%
/
2/5
 
"It's a movie that seems to have been lavished with care and performed with gusto, yet its tale of fakery sounds its own knell: there's not a believable moment in it." -- Independent
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Death Defying Acts (2008)46%
/
3/5
 
"How they managed the trek defies belief, but in an art-form where superpowers have become passé, it's a stirring reminder of what human powers, against the odds, can achieve." -- Independent
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
Blindsight (2008)98%
/
1/5
 
"This reawakens but doesn't reinvigorate a franchise that was already curling at the edges seven years ago, with The Mummy Returns." -- Independent
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)11%
/
3/5
 
"It's loose in form, but the cast lend a vigor and charm to the mood." -- Independent

Paris (2008)62%

"It's Reed's gruff and tuneless delivery that challenges one's enjoyment." -- Independent

Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)76%

"As the brave moppet, Nikbakht Noruz is tremendous." -- Independent

Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame (2007)89%

3/5
 
"Acting honours go to Bose, his face an eloquently shifting register of shame, calculation and sympathy." -- Independent
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Before the Rains (2008)46%
/
3/5
 
"You will exit the cinema with an enhanced respect for Nolan's intelligence, for Wally Pfister's pin-sharp cinematography, and, sadly, for an acting talent tragically curtailed." -- Independent
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)94%
/
2/5
 
"Michael McCullers' script is soft-headed to the point of inanity." -- Independent
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Baby Mama (2008)62%
/
1/5
 
"The title is horrible, and I'm afraid I didn't find the movie attached to it much better." -- Independent
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)54%
/
4/5
 
"Praise Pixar for trying to raise the stakes, but the longer the film goes on the more one appreciates the impact of that amazing first half-hour." -- Independent
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)97%
/
4/5
 
"It might never be as famous as Olivier's, but it should carry considerable clout for years to come." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Jul 1, 2008
 
Henry V (1989)100%
/
1/5
 
"Director Peter Berg mounts a special-effects extravaganza that's very boring indeed, and doesn't quite deafen us to the inadequacies of the script, while Smith pretends to be a grumpy git but, naturally, winds up begging us to love him." -- Independent
Posted Jun 30, 2008
 
Hancock (2008)38%
/
2/5
 
"The problem with Hollywood films condemning the public appetite for torture is that they frequently pander to it, and this is a very lurid and unsavoury example." -- Independent
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/
1/5
 
"Ferrell seems to be running on empty, despite a luxuriant McEnroe afro-with-headband and a past as a one-hit wonder ("Love Me Sexy")." -- Independent
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Semi-Pro (2008)21%
/
 
"As a spectacle of ingenious larceny, it's not up there with Rififi, or even Sexy Beast. But it's not bad, either." -- Independent
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
The Bank Job (2008)79%
/
2/5
 
"Dramatically and visually, there's no relief to be had in this self-indulgent downer." -- Independent
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
Margot at the Wedding (2007)51%
/
5/5
 
"A beautifully imagined portrait of moral and political cowardice." -- Independent
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
The Conformist (1970)100%
/
1/5
 
"A plot of insufferable silliness contrives to keep the lovers on tenterhooks and the audience in a permanent cringe, none of it helped by Thurman's thoroughly phony performance." -- Independent
Posted Feb 29, 2008
 
The Accidental Husband (2009)0%
/
2/5
 
"Von Trier has evidently been watching The Office, and replicates both its soulless setting and fly-on-the-desk camera-style, not to mention the Brentian fear of being unpopular." -- Independent

The Boss of it All (2007)73%

"A shocking disappointment." -- Independent

The Violin (2007)94%
/
3/5
 
"The fragmentary approach could never be called exhilarating, but it has a sly humour, and the mood is sustained by Vogler and Rottlander as the unlikely companions." -- Independent

Alice in the Cities ()100%
/
2/5
 
"Filming in his characteristically dreamy, dislocated fashion, Van Sant seems as interested in the innocently beautiful face of his young star as he is in the docu-style story-telling." -- Independent
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
Paranoid Park (2008)75%
/
3/5
 
"Based on Khaled Hosseini's highly regarded novel, this story of exile, ambition and betrayal has an emotional power that outstrips its occasional implausibilities." -- Independent

"Bold, and successfully maintains suspense." -- Independent

I Am Legend (2007)69%

2/5
 
"The duologues between the couple seldom vary in tone: he's the doormat, and she wipes her silk slippers on him. Depardieu makes for a compelling presence, even if he's a bit one-note." -- Independent

The Duchess of Langeais (2008)68%

"It would be a flinty heart indeed that fails to be touched by the rheumy-eyed playing of MacLaine and her co-star Christopher Plummer." -- Independent

"The old St Trinian's movies with Alistair Sim weren't exactly comedy classics, but they look like gold next to this feeble, sloppily written caper." -- Independent
