4/5	" Fey and Poehler are better than 95 per cent of the innumerable male comedy double acts around at the moment. May they never part, because their work here is an utter joy." -- Empire Magazine Australasia Posted Aug 18, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
4/5	" Good comedy knows no gender, and be you woman, man or any sentient being with a funny bone, you will find boundless delight in two people doing what they do best: being very, very funny." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 21, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
5/5	" Absolute heaven." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 18, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
3/5	" The Ocean�s Eleven: The College Years mood makes for a breezy good time, even if there is, like Vegas, precious little substance beneath the glitz." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 11, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
4/5	" A good old-fashioned horror in the best possible way, this is a beautifully told, terrifying ghost story that lingers with you long after the shivers have stopped." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 20, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
3/5	" t�s Liman�s least charismatic action movie and the least developed, but it still packs some cracking action into its brief running time and lays foundations on which a great franchise could be built." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 15, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
5/5	" A dazzling experiment that paid off immensely, this is cinematic pleasure at its purest." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 22, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
3/5	" Structurally it�s a bit ragtag, but, as your mum would say, it has its heart in the right place. For all its wilful oddness it�s enchanting, imaginative and genuinely moving." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 13, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
2/5	" A crushing disappointment for fans and a scuppered opportunity for a cinematic event. That the first book has been so mishandled doesn�t bode well for the (already greenlit) more complicated ones to come." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
3/5	" The dedicated fairy tale fan will have tons of fun spotting all the references. Adams, meanwhile, gives one of the comedy performances of the year." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 4, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	93%
4/5	" A delightfully surreal look at a bizarre performance art." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 8, 2007	Air Guitar Nation (2007)	83%
4/5	" So quirky that it�s almost in danger of collapsing under the weight of its own antic whimsy at times, but a comic delight destined for cult adoration." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 17, 2007	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	55%
4/5	" An unassuming treat amid the noisy blockbuster season. It�ll melt your heart and any dietary resolve equally." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 10, 2007	Waitress (2007)	88%
2/5	" A tragic waste of acting talent, with nothing new to say. Can we please now politely close the door on middle-class repression before we get really angry?" -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 8, 2007	The Chumscrubber (2005)	34%
3/5	" The bumbling charms of the stars just about pull this through, but there�ll be few calls for an encore come the final curtain." -- Empire Magazine Posted May 18, 2007	Magicians (2007)	29%
3/5	" It's Sarah Polley through and through: slightly too glum for its own good, but reeking of quality and feeling." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 27, 2007	Away From Her (2007)	95%
3/5	" It suffers from ADD, but there�s some terrific stuff in here. Leaving 15 minutes from the end and saving yourself a lumbering coda may improve enjoyment." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 20, 2007	Alpha Dog (2007)	55%
4/5	" Aside from a last-act blip when everything goes a little bit �what the hell?�, this is a knuckle-gnawingly tense, glorious action thriller and marks yet another genre nailed by Danny Boyle." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 10, 2007	Sunshine (2007)	76%
1/5	" The kind of film the tabloids will call to ban. Don't take that as a reason to see it." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 8, 2007	Outlaw (2007)	22%
3/5	" It�s not on a gasp-inducing making-the-Statue-Of-Liberty-disappear level, but with its opulent presentation and confident storytelling, The Illusionist has the power to keep an audience rapt like a good old-fashioned card trick." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 27, 2007	The Illusionist (2006)	75%
4/5	" It suffers occasionally from self-consciousness and over-indulgence in its own oddity, but Gondry�s grasp of emotion and visuals is enchanting. Even if he seems several sandwiches short of a picnic." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 14, 2007	The Science of Sleep (2006)	70%
4/5	" Even without the inspired idea of Shaun Of The Dead it�s an easy match for laughs, and marks Nick Frost as a vital part of this team�s appeal. The boys (now in blue) have done it again." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 14, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
3/5	" Filmically it's more of a pleasantly diverting kick about in the park than a 90th minute back-of-the-net at the world cup final." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2007	Goal II: Living the Dream (2008)	41%
4/5	" Intelligent, classy and skin-crawling. You won't see a better acting masterclass this year." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 29, 2007	Notes on a Scandal (2006)	87%
3/5	" Full respect to Carnahan for making the tired crime genre feel fresh, but it would have been more fun without a last-minute attempt to make it mean something." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jan 4, 2007	Smokin' Aces (2007)	27%
4/5	" Bigger, Better and with more dimensions..." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 30, 2006	The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D (2006)	n/a
4/5	" The best animated movie of the year and only a whisker shy of the brilliance of Wallace and Gromit." -- Empire Magazine Posted Nov 29, 2006	Flushed Away (2006)	72%
4/5	" Crediting its audience with emotional intelligence, this rises well above your usual rom-com-dram." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 21, 2006	The Last Kiss (2006)	46%
3/5	" Fans happy to luxuriate in its artistic indulgence, however, will be swept up in the weird, random, fantastic OutKastness of it all." -- Empire Magazine Posted Oct 6, 2006	Idlewild (2006)	48%
2/5	" The idea is so great that it's a crying shame that the end product is such a sheep in wolf's clothing." -- Empire Magazine Posted Sep 29, 2006	Hoodwinked (2006)	48%
2/5	" As kiddie entertainment it works well, with simple humour and lots of action. But there�s not a lot to appeal to any accompanying adults." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 12, 2006	The Ant Bully (2006)	63%
3/5	" A small, strangely sweet tale well told. But this is all about Mol, who puts in a performance that gives her a very early lead on next year�s Oscar race." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 4, 2006	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	55%
3/5	" Judged against previous form, this is not Pixar firing on all cylinders, lacking the sophisticated comedy we�ve come to expect. Judged against fare from other studios, however, it�s a triumph." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 28, 2006	Cars (2006)	75%
4/5	" If you�re a novice, this is a plucky introduction to Whedon�s world and the most fun sci-fi of the year. If you�re a devotee, this is the magnificent return you�ve been praying for." -- Empire Magazine Posted Apr 1, 2006	Serenity (2005)	82%
3/5	" Overlong and slightly muddled, this is nevertheless an enjoyable showcase for the superb Steve Carell." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 26, 2005	The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)	84%
2/5	" A fantastic bore." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jul 22, 2005	Fantastic Four (2005)	26%
4/5	" Although the story and message become a little confused at the end, [Vaughn] marks himself as a mainstream British director about whom to get legitimately excited." -- Empire Magazine Posted Mar 23, 2005	Layer Cake (2005)	80%
3/5	" Judged apart from its mousehouse history it's highly likeable, pleasantly unpretentious and plenty amusing." -- Empire Magazine Posted Aug 6, 2004	Home on the Range (2004)	54%
2/5	" The 'grown-up' Kevin Smith exhibits greater ambition, but he's not quite so much fun." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 18, 2004	Jersey Girl (2004)	40%
4/5	" *Aniston may not have received her much-touted Oscar nomination, but this brilliantly funny and often touching film should assure her a solid post-Friends* career.*" -- Empire Magazine* Posted May 2, 2003	The Good Girl (2002)	81%
2/5	" What should be a moving story with spectacular battle scenes by one of the world's greatest action directors is a huge let-down." -- Empire Magazine Posted Feb 2, 2003	Windtalkers (2002)	33%
1/5	" The rollerball sequences feel sanitised and stagey." -- Empire Magazine Posted Dec 23, 2002	Rollerball (2002)	4%
3/5	" It's completely harmless -- taking that as a pro or a con will be entirely up to the individual viewer." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 11, 2001	Get Over It (2001)	44%
2/5	" The plot is so ridiculous and the execution so poor that nothing can save this floundering mess." -- Empire Magazine Posted Jun 1, 2001	See Spot Run (2001)	23%
