0 - 9


3:10 TO YUMA (James Mangold)
9/10
'The western may not be experiencing a full-scale comeback but audiences are certainly being treated to genuine gems, such as this wondrous piece'


12 (Nikita Mikhalkov)
[12 - Chechen Russian]
8/10
'Exceptional example of how the dying genre of courtroom dramas should be executed'


12 ANGRY MEN (Sidney Lumet)
10/10
'First-rate flick, possibly the best court-room drama ever produced'


12 ROUNDS (Renny Harlin)
4/10
'Fast paced action flick but little else'


16 BLOCKS (Richard Donner)
7/10
'Pleasantly surprising results from a somewhat classic Western plot'


17 AGAIN (Burr Steers)
6/10
'Generally entertaining teen comedy but as a basic body-swap flick 17 Again hardly venturing into new territory'


21 (Robert Luketic)
6/10
'Having read the book this is based on, I can't say I'm greatly impressed but 21 is certainly worth a watch'


21 JUMP STREET (Phil Lord & Chris Miller)
8/10
'Sweet, intelligent, funny, action-packed and decently acted are not words I would have thought I would use to describe this film.. but somehow 21 Jump Street manages to incorporate all these and more'


27 DRESSES (Anne Fletcher)
5/10
'Predictable, stale, not one surprising or pleasing moment; need I go on?'


30 DAYS OF NIGHT (David Slade)
4/10
'Fantastic graphic novel, terrible film'


THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN (Judd Apatow)
7/10
'Not disimilar to Anchor Man, side splitting laughs but sometimes a little squiffed'


44 INCH CHEST (Malcolm Venville)
5/10
'Littered with dank shots and punctuated with obscenities, 44 Inch Chest is going to be a quickly forgotten release, despised by the majority. However, that's not to say it's not worth a watch if it's your cup-of-tea'


50/50 (Jonathan Levine)
9/10
'I've seen a lot of shitty 'cancer films' (trust me, there are tonnes) but 50/50 is simultaneously touching, funny and thoroughly grand'


300 (Zack Snyder)
8/10
'A passionate & beautiful film'


(500) DAYS OF SUMMER (Marc Webb)
9/10
'Quite simply, my absolute favourite romantic comedy of all time - quite the statement, I know'


1408 (Mikael Hafstrom)
7/10
'Surprisingly good thriller-horror that proves John Cusack is still phenomenal and Stephen King’s talent gland hasn’t given out yet'


2046 (Kar Wai Wong)
[2046 - Chinese]
8/10
'A passionate & beautiful film'


10,000 B.C. (Roland Emmerich)
2/10
'I was tempted to give 10,000 B.C. a high rating simply because it was so incredibly awful that it became entertaining to sit through and constantly make fun of; in all seriousness, awarding this film a 2/10 is extremely generous'
