RABBIT FEVER (Ian Denyer)
4/10
'Bland, witless humour throughout this made-for-TV drippage that we can all probably do without; kindly avoid'


RACING STRIPES (Frederik Du Chau)
2/10
'Big cast, big flop'


RAGING BULL (Martin Scorsese)
10/10
'Flawless, from start to finish'


RAISING ARIZONA (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen)
7/10
'Brilliantly funny'


RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II (George P. Cosmatos)
5/10
'Interesting but an incredible let down after the sheer weight of First Blood'


RAMBO III (Peter MacDonald)
3/10
'Awful sequel but you can't help but award points for that hair'


RAMBO (Sylvester Stallone)
6/10
'Not exactly the same as the Rocky but still worth a watch'


RATATOUILLE (Brad Bird)
9/10
'Pixar produced family goldmine'


RAY (Taylor Hackford)
9/10
'Foxx is astonishingly believable - a masterpiece'


REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (Nicholas Ray)
10/10
'Probably the most important movies of the 50's'


THE RECRUIT (Roger Donaldson)
6/10
'Clever espionage thriller with notable performances from the two leads'


RED EYE (Wes Craven)
6/10
'Sure it's a bit cheesy but it brings Craven back and midget-Murphy helps prove that the British make for the best bad guys'


REDACTED (Brian De Palma)
3/10
'An almost complete failure; De Palma, what happened to you?'


REDBELT (David Mamet)
6/10
'Mamet is an exceptional playwright but as a director he is somewhat lacking'


THE REEKER (David Payne)
2/10
'A film about a stinky monster.. if the title doesn't clue you in to how awful the film is, the stereotypical characters, shoddy death scenes and toilet-orientated finale will'


LE RENARD ET L'ENFANT (Luc Jacquet)
[The Fox And The Child - French]
7/10
'Part nature documentary, part young drama, wholly wonderful; sort of like Deux Freres'


RENDITION (Gavin Hood)
5/10
'Average yet supposedly politically relevant kidnapping film, similar to Proof Of Life'


RENT (Chris Columbus)
3/10
'Hit broadway show makes for poor, lifeless adaptation despite theatre cast intact'


REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (Darren Aronofsky)
10/10
'Heavyweight drama for the strong-stomached and open-minded'


RESIDENT EVIL (Paul W.S. Anderson)
7/10
'Not nearly as engrossing as the video games but doesn't disappoint'


RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE (Alexander Witt)
2/10
'Manages to take a brilliant series of survival horror storylines, mess them up and produce an abysmal sludge of nonsense'


RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION (Russell Mulcahy)
5/10
'Nowhere near as good as the original but thank God it wasn't another Apocalypse'


REVOLVER (Guy Ritchie)
7/10
'This one won'tgo down well but in time it may receive the credit it deserves'


RESERVOIR DOGS (Quentin Tarantino)
10/10
'Despite what most say, Pulp Fiction is glorious but Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino's best film'


RIGHTEOUS KILL (Jon Avnet)
6/10
'Great acting (as was to be expected from De Niro and Pacino), terrible script'


THE RING 2 (Hideo Nakata)
2/10
'Boring and dull ... with an odd nod to The Omen with some deer, but it flies over the heads of most'


THE RINGER (Barry W. Blaustein)
4/10
'Ricky Blitt once wrote an episode of Family Guy that was banned from television. Then he wrote this.... lo, how the mighty hath fallen'


RIO BRAVO (Howard Hawks)
10/10
'The quintessential Western and my absolute favourite John Wayne flick - except The Conqueror but I have different reasons for that'


ROBOTS (Chris Wedge)
6/10
'Beautiful visuals hold this scrappy plot together'


THE ROCK (Michael Bay)
7/10
'Another dose of nonsense from the Bayster that somehow manages to thrill and enthral'


THE ROCKER (Peter Cattaneo)
5/10
'With so many other band flicks around, The Rocker doesn't exactly explore new territory'


ROCKY BALBOA (Sylvester Stallone)
7/10
'Rocky remains the greatest original on-screen sports character ever created. If you only see two sports films, make sure they're Rocky and Rocky Balboa'


ROMANCE & CIGARETTES (John Turturro)
6/10
'The performances keep you seated when the plot falters - namely due to script disorganisation'


RUBY BLUE (Jan Dunn)
7/10
'Quaint, heart-warming character study '


RUMOUR HAS IT (Rob Reiner)
3/10
'Formulaic, forced jokes lead to ultimate disappointment'


RUN, FAT BOY, RUN (David Schwimmer)
6/10
'A little hollow but wholly commendable performances from Dylan Moran and Simon Pegg shine through'


RUSH HOUR 3 (Brett Ratner)
4/10
'I'm a bit of a fan of the Rush Hour series but this instalment was just embarrassing'
