The Clan (2004) 41% 3/5 EDIT “Director Gaël Morel seems content to let everything drift along in a lyrically dreamy manner, offering a linger shot of a toned torso every two minutes. That the film retains any interest at all is entirely due to the performances.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Mondovino (2004) 72% 4/5 EDIT “A patient, subtle yet compelling film with a strong scent of humor and faint hint of bitterness.” – The List Apr 23, 2019 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) 37% 6/10 EDIT “Despite the film's necessarily lengthy exposition, Wolverine's back-story seems thinner and less compelling than the Logan-heavy, previous X-Men films had hinted at.” – Future Movies UK Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Date Night (2010) 67% 7/10 EDIT “Levy permits himself a contrived car chase, but otherwise reins in his devotion to madcap action, producing a warm film that will strike chords with long-term couples.” – Future Movies UK Apr 22, 2010 Full Review Cemetery Junction (2010) 58% 7/10 EDIT “A departure from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's painfully acute observational humour.” – Future Movies UK Apr 14, 2010 Full Review Beyond the Pole (2009) 69% 7/10 EDIT “This engaging comedy is consistently amusing rather than ferociously funny, but it has heart, ensuring an unexpectedly affecting climax.” – Future Movies UK Mar 23, 2010 Full Review In the Loop (2009) 94% 8/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Jul 24, 2009 Full Review Moon (2009) 90% 8/10 EDIT “A seriously impressive debut from British director Duncan Jones.” – Future Movies UK Jun 12, 2009 Full Review Fighting (2009) 40% 5/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Adventureland (2009) 89% 7/10 EDIT “The film isn't especially funny but it is tenderly amusing and rather sweet, eschewing many of the clichés and recourse to calculated whimsy that undermine so many offbeat boy-meets-girl flicks.” – Future Movies UK Apr 3, 2009 Full Review Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009) 28% 2/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Mar 27, 2009 Full Review Wanted (2008) 71% 6/10 EDIT “Initially promises to challenge the heroism of blindly following your destiny, yet instead descends into an unsatisfactory blur of curving bullets and splattered bodies.” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? (2008) 38% 5/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review We Own the Night (2007) 57% 5/10 EDIT “A generic thriller that aims for deeper resonance, We Own The Night is an intriguing feature, undermined by a plot that stretches credulity, yet which still manages to conform to predictable gangster flick clich.” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review 27 Dresses (2008) 40% 5/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Balls of Fury (2007) 22% 3/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) 84% 6/10 EDIT “Brand shows that top comedians, for all their limited range, can be decent actors in the right parts, a heightened sense of timing affording them an advantage in comic fare.” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Smart People (2008) 50% 4/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Good (2008) 34% 6/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Sep 8, 2008 Full Review Priceless (2006) 82% 7/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Jul 8, 2008 Full Review Kung Fu Panda (2008) 87% 6/10 EDIT “This is strictly formulaic animation from DreamWorks, wasting a stellar cast and a marvellously high concept idea.” – Future Movies UK Jul 8, 2008 Full Review Waltz With Bashir (2008) 97% 9/10 EDIT “Waltz with Bashir is a deeply harrowing yet moving meditation on memory.” – Future Movies UK May 15, 2008 Full Review TMNT (2007) 35% 6/10 EDIT “A grasping attempt at resurrecting a money-spinning franchise, the film is saved only by mightily impressive CGI effects, computer wizardry that favours spectacle over clarity of narrative.” – Future Movies UK Mar 31, 2007 Full Review The Fountain (2006) 52% 8/10 EDIT “There are hints of David Lynch's similarly confusing Mulholland Drive and the marvellously bonkers ending of Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey that will repel many more viewers than attract.” – Future Movies UK Feb 10, 2007 Full Review Bobby (2006) 47% 6/10 EDIT “” – Future Movies UK Feb 3, 2007 Full Review
