Nn NACHO LIBRE (Jared Hess)
7/10'Driven by a Jack Black/Napoleon Dynamite humour, Nacho Libre proves to be ingeniously funny but a little too random in places to ensnare the majority of the audience' NADZIEJA (Stanislaw Mucha) [Hope - Polish]
4/10'Despondent thriller that shows promise but ultimately fails to impress' NANCY DREW (Andrew Fleming)

2/10'From the directors of American Splendor I expected much more; she doesn't even keep a diary! Just go and watch The Devil Wears Prada instead' NATIONAL TREASURE (Jon Turteltaub)
7/10'Cheesy in places .....but I enjoyed it and that's always worth something' NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS (Jon Turtletaub)
7/10'I must confess, I really like this series and I have absolutely no idea why' THE NATIVITY STORY (Catherine Hardwicke)
4/10'As a religious telling this is a fairly vital piece but as a film it's slow, dull and not really very interesting to watch for 101 minutes' NEVER BACK DOWN (Jeff Wadlow)
3/10'Horrendous film that wishes it was Karate Kid but some of the dialogue is hilarious' NEW TOWN ORIGINAL (Jason Ford)
2/10'BLOODY CHAVS!' THE NEW WORLD (Terrence Malick)
7/10'Surprisingly entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable' NEXT (Lee Tamahori)
3/10'Stop trashing Philip K. Dick stories!' NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM (Shawn Levy)
4/10'Even though Robin Williams stole the movie, it still wasn't enough to save this slow, joke-less, overly sentimental mess' NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (Charles Laughton)
10/10'Exquisite atmospheric movie that absolutely no one was ready for; a milestone in American cinema' Ночной Дозор (Timur Bekmambetov) [Night Watch - Russian]
8/10'Best film to come out of Russia since Броненосец Потёмкин (Battleship Potemkin - 1925)' THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (Henry Selick)
9/10'Riveting, fantastical dark dream' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (Wes Craven)

3/10'Complete balls.. except for the skipping girl, she was quite creepy' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: PART III - DREAM WARRIORS (Chuck Russell)
3/10'Another bunch of stupid kids (including Laurence Fishburne) try to stop Freddy; big whoop' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: PART IV - THE DREAM MASTER (Renny Harlin)
3/10'No better or worse than Part III - which says a lot about the quality of this film' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: PART V - THE DREAM CHILD (Stephen Hopkins)
2/10'The worst Nightmare movie of the series' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: PART VI - THE FINAL NIGHTMARE (Rachel Talalay)
2/10'Just as stupid as Part V' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: PART VII - NEW NIGHTMARE (Wes Craven)
5/10'Redeemable due to Craven's involvement but still fairly stupid' NIGHTS IN RODANTHE (George C. Wolfe)
2/10'I hate Nicholas Sparks adaptations; saccharine shit' NIM'S ISLAND (Jennifer Flackett & Mark Levin)
4/10'Aimed directly at kids (meaning little for adults to enjoy) and although it's not terrible, it's not exactly great either' LA NIŅA SANTA (Lucrecia Martel) [The Holy Girl - Argentine Spanish]
7/10'Lacks resolution but retains life's flaws' THE NINES (John August)
8/10'Beneath its ambiguity lies an extremely simplistic and brilliant plot device that will frustrate many yet thrill those who get it' NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen)
9/10'Sensational slow-paced Neo-Western from the Coens; possibly their best since Fargo' NORBIT (Brian Robbins)
1/10'To quote Jay, "Oh and only those as super smart as me will be left to bitterly cry: You maniacs! Damn yous! God damn yous all to Hell!"' NOTES ON A SCANDAL (Richard Eyre)
