The Love Bug (1969)77%
/
2/5
 
"For four hours this moody, glossy pantomime leadenly plods on, saying much more about the hubris and excess of old-time Hollywood thinking than the burnished glories of an ancient world." -- Empire Magazine

Cleopatra (1963)45%
/
3/5
 
"You might admire it as a Warholian blur of pop art, gawp and gasp at its Hot Wheels-for-real dynamism, or get a headache." -- Empire Magazine

Diamonds Are Forever (1971)65%
/
3/5
 
"Another mean, violent and decently acted slab of Ellroy-flavoured criminality, with an impressively battered Keanu Reeves, but Ayers is no Curtis Hanson." -- Empire Magazine

Street Kings (2008)36%
/

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)95%

Body Heat (1981)97%
/
2/5
 
"Good idea to cast the brat pack in a Western but this was badly realised and altogether a bit flat." -- Empire Magazine

I'm Not There (2007)78%

Posted Dec 12, 2007
 
Return to Oz (1985)58%
/
5/5
 
"As black, sinful and nasty as a weekful of Hitchcocks, this is as fresh and intoxicating now as it was back then. In a word: deadly." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Nov 6, 2007
 
Blood Simple (1984)98%
/
3/5
 
"The film, for all Lean’s innate elegance, is strangely remote and unmoving. It could easily have been a Merchant-Ivory film." -- Empire Magazine

Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)95%
/
4/5
 
"Kubrick's superb version of William Thackery's first novel is meticulous and philosophically stimulating but it can leave some audiences unmoved on an emotional level." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Oct 3, 2007
 
Barry Lyndon (1975)93%

"Ostensibly a haunted house story, it manages to traverse a complex world of incipient madness, spectral murder and supernatural visions... and also makes you jump." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
The Shining (1980)86%
/
3/5
 
"Great performances, splendid looks, but its grip slackens toward a rather fuzzy finale." -- Empire Magazine

Seraphim Falls (2007)54%
/
4/5
 
"Knocked Up touches places most comedies wouldn't dare, some of them scarily biological, some of them scarily accurate. It's the sleeper hit of the summer, but don't worry: it's much better than that." -- Empire Magazine
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Knocked Up (2007)91%

/
3/5
 
"Good '80's teen movie with a suitable soundtrack and the loveable Cruise displaying his new found starry confidence." -- Empire Magazine

Risky Business (1983)100%
/
4/5
 
"The script may have rubbery legs, but the action is rock-hard. The surprise is the lightness of touch: treat as a comedy for best results." -- Empire Magazine
