The Abyss (1989) 76% 4/5 EDIT “It is The Abyss' attempt to go deep that is it's only flaw.” – Empire Magazine Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Lost in Translation (2003) 95% 5/5 EDIT “[The] backdrop of night-time Tokyo as an alien landscape against which the couple delicately explore each other's ambiguous feelings, this talented young director has produced a sad, funny, magical and almost irresistibly moving experience.” – Radio Times Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Hollywood Homicide (2003) 31% 3/5 EDIT “The plot makes little sense, and it all degenerates into the inevitable car chase in the final act, but there's enough wit in the script and chemistry between the likeable leads to cover the loose ends.” – Radio Times Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Porky's (1981) 33% 4/5 EDIT “Side-splittingly funny.” – Empire Magazine Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Young Frankenstein (1974) 95% 4/5 EDIT “What it demonstrates is that for spoof to work, the spoofers must have deep affection for the material out of which they are wringing the wee.” – Empire Magazine Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Silent Hill (2006) 34% 2/5 EDIT “There are worse adaptations of video games out there but this one will probably leave the PlayStation generation itching for their consoles.” – Radio Times Apr 25, 2019 Full Review The Adventures of Tintin (2011) 75% 3/5 EDIT “There's enough to delight the undemanding youngster here and it's passable entertainment for the rest, but how much better this film would have been had Spielberg not buried it under layers of digital jiggery-pokery, and truly brought it to life.” – Radio Times Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) 28% 2/5 EDIT “Promising threads are left unfollowed, and after the initial excitement the story rapidly runs out of steam.” – Radio Times Jun 21, 2016 Full Review Mississippi Grind (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The loose, meandering structure may be a little leisurely for some, and the ending might falter just a tad, but otherwise this is a road trip well worth taking.” – Radio Times Oct 23, 2015 Full Review The Lobster (2015) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Superficially sharp but easily overcooked and with not quite enough meat to be entirely satisfying.” – Radio Times Oct 15, 2015 Full Review 99 Homes (2014) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Some plot developments are more convincing than others, but it's still a compelling drama with an impressive turn from Garfield as well as Shannon and Dern as Garfield's concerned mother.” – Empire Magazine Sep 23, 2015 Full Review The Longest Ride (2015) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Devotees of author Nicholas Sparks's work will no doubt be delighted with The Longest Ride's bonanza offering: two militantly preposterous love stories for the price of one!” – Radio Times Jun 18, 2015 Full Review The DUFF (2015) 73% 3/5 EDIT “While this latest entry into the Pygmalion with Clearasil genre doesn't bring anything new to the table, it's still fun enough to hang out with for a while.” – Radio Times Apr 2, 2015 Full Review The Water Diviner (2014) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Russell Crowe makes a sure-footed if unadventurous debut as director with this tale ...” – Radio Times Apr 2, 2015 Full Review Son of a Gun (2014) 63% 3/5 EDIT “McGregor sails through the movie, obviously having great fun as a recidivist thief who won't let anything get in the way of his plans, and doe-eyed Thwaites is appealingly naive ...” – Radio Times Jan 29, 2015 Full Review Beyond Clueless (2014) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The clip-based format might be a choice made out of necessity, but the results, though occasionally intriguing, are finally unilluminating.” – Radio Times Jan 22, 2015 Full Review Whiplash (2014) 94% 5/5 EDIT “A hugely entertaining, refreshingly subversive take on the well-worn "inspirational teacher" theme.” – Radio Times Jan 16, 2015 Full Review Gold (2014) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Sadly, this Gold is anything but glittering.” – Radio Times Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Maps to the Stars (2014) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Cronenberg's movie fuses elements of Mommie Dearest and Sunset Blvd with the dreamy surreality of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive ...” – Radio Times Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Dinosaur 13 (2014) 73% 3/5 EDIT “As a David and Goliath tale of the picked-on little guy battling big government, it resonates powerfully.” – Radio Times Aug 15, 2014 Full Review The Ring (2002) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Verbinski makes a couple of inventive additions, and although the spine-chilling terror of the superior 1997 original is muted by the overuse of CGI, this is still a worthy substitute if you're not in the mood for subtitles.” – Radio Times Jul 25, 2014 Full Review I Am Divine (2012) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Schwarz interviews friends and fans, piecing together a picture of a gentle, perhaps surprisingly shy man who channelled his family's rejection and his anger at society into his outrageous alter-ego.” – Radio Times Jul 18, 2014 Full Review Finding Vivian Maier (2013) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A strangely haunting tale of a life quietly slipping away unnoticed.” – Radio Times Jul 18, 2014 Full Review Goltzius and the Pelican Company (2012) 79% 3/5 EDIT “All the director's familiar trademarks are present and correct: the extensive nudity, richly detailed compositions, sweeping tracking shots and minimalist score.” – Radio Times Jul 11, 2014 Full Review The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (2013) 68% 2/5 EDIT “[Suffers from] uneven tone and thuddingly unfunny historical satire ...” – Radio Times Jul 4, 2014 Full Review
