A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"You’ve never seen anything like this before due to some simply astonishing animation." |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"What makes this the Battlefield Earth of musicals is the plot – a wafer-thin affair that might have been written by someone who once skimmed a short magazine article about the 1960s while waiting for their hair appointment." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Adam (2009) |
"A romantic comedy so dull, so humdrum, they should give out free espressos at screenings." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Superbad director Greg Mottola casts an affectionate eye over the 1980s with a gentle but effective comedy." |

Aeon Flux (2005) |
"This year's Catwoman, a disaster of truly seismic proportions." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Afterschool (2009) |
"An arty drama that's just a little too pretentious." |
David Edwards |
Tomato |
Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"While quite possibly the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen in your life, this documentary exploring the world of air guitar enthusiasts is a riot from start to finish." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"The young star is such a little cutey-pie and the plot so cleverly manipulative that, whatever its faults, you’ll still have a lump in your throat throughout." |

Splat 2/5 |
Aliens in the Attic (2009) |
"Aliens In The Attic is boring. Not just humdrum but deathly dull, as in stick-it-in-a-rocket-and-blast-it-into-space uninteresting." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"The movie may lose its way in the last 15 minutes but everything leading up to that point is gripping, edge-of-your-seat stuff." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"While sure to secretly entertain the child in all us adults, here’s a flick absolutely guaranteed to entrance the under-10s." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) |
"With an unengaging plot, flat jokes and shameless product placement, Alvin is a late contender for worst film of the year." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Am I Black Enough For You |
"This illuminating doc looks back on the Philly singer's life and times. It reveals a vast talent who lost his way through a combination of drugs and bad business decisions." |
David Edwards |
Splat 1/5 |
Amelia (2009) |
"This limp biopic may inspire you to reach for the air sickness bag." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
American Teen (2008) |
"What makes American Teen so compelling is the way the four are presented. At first they seem like stock stereotypes, but over the course of the movie, we gain a powerful insight into what makes them tick." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
An Education (2009) |
"Veteran journalist Lynn Barber's memoir of a teenage romance makes a pleasing transition to the big screen. Yet, while it's well acted and tautly paced, you never quite shake the feeling you're watching a two-parter on BBC2." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Angel (2007) |
"A less than heavenly time is guaranteed for anyone who parts with their hard-earned to watch this formulaic period film." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Angel-A (2007) |
"Good looking but tedious." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"There may be a decent thriller here, but it's buried alive beneath turgid pacing and ream upon ream of dry-as-dust dialogue. Oh, and Ewan McGregor's in it - rarely a good sign." |
David Edwards |
Tomato |
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008) |
"A smart, funny Bridget Jones' Diary for juniors that you don't have to be teenage or female to enjoy." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Anna M. (2007) |
"Isabelle Carré brings a raw emotion to this French language film that elevates it from a so-so psychological drama to something deeply chilling." |
|
Splat 3/5 |
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"It all seems very workaday." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Antichrist (2009) |
"It's ploddy, affected and ludicrously nasty but, for all that, Lars von Trier's new movie could well be the best horror film since the genre's 70s heyday." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 3/5 |
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009) |
"An engagingly noisy documentary about the middle-aged members of a failed Canadian heavy metal band." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Anything for Her (2008) |
"Prepare to gnaw you knuckles to the bone with this nerve-shredding French thriller that poses the question: How far would you go for a loved one?" |
David Edwards |
Tomato 5/5 |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"In all, it’s a magnificent ride and certainly one of the finest films of the year." |

Splat 2/5 |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"While well-crafted and beginning and ending well, for the most part it’s like waiting for a tumbleweed to blow across an airless prairie." |
|
Tomato |
Atonement (2007) |
"Atonement is an awesome achievement – I urge you to see it as soon as you can." |
David Edwards |
Tomato 4/5 |
Australia (2008) |
"Some of it doesn't work, but it remains a gloriously ambitious romantic epic and a truly memorable big-screen movie experience." |
Mark Adams |
Tomato 5/5 |
Avatar (2009) |
"Avatar truly is something else, a wondrously-detailed visual extravaganza quite unlike anything you've seen before." |
David Edwards |
Splat 2/5 |
Awaydays (2009) |
"Combining awayday punch-ups with bedsit brooding, the tortured relationship between the lads is generally lifeless. Things aren't helped by the film's sheer gloom, as if a layer of dust and grime lies over the camera lens. Missable." |
