Out of the Past (1947) 87% EDIT “Mournful and seeped in sensuality, it's highly atmospheric and also visually innovative.” – Film4 Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Big Top Pee-wee (1988) 31% EDIT “There are far worse sequels in the world than this.” – Film4 Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Predator 2 (1990) 36% EDIT “Gung-ho space invader action delivered with plenty of style and verve. Neat effects, big explosions and hectic pacing ensure there isn't a moment to stop and think.” – Film4 Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988) 10% EDIT “At a bad-taste banquet Wiederhorn would sit at the head of the table. His dead-hand direction owes little to Romero and more to Ed Wood as his characters stumble blindly around in search of a plot.” – Film4 Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “Script writer O'Bannon directs with a relish for the tasteless, and cannot help getting carried away at times. But, what the hell - from the punk rock party in the graveyard to the apocalyptic climax, it's all good gory fun.” – Film4 Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Final Destination (2000) 50% EDIT “A fresh take on a tiring genre. Final Destination is sensitive and spooky without being too sincere, and has all the inventive teen death you could want.” – Film4 May 22, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible II (2000) 58% EDIT “Mission: Impossible II isn't really big, loud or exciting enough to be this year's big, loud, exciting film.” – Film4 May 8, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% EDIT “Energetic but sometimes confusing spy caper. ” – Film4 May 6, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% EDIT “The horror of Jar Jar Binks aside, there's plenty in Episode I to keep us entertained...” – Film4 Apr 16, 2025 Full Review American Psycho 2 (2002) 23% EDIT “This inoffensive and relatively tame so-called sequel is nothing more than formulaic campus frolics with a light twist and just enough surprises to keep the viewer's attention.” – Film4 Apr 4, 2025 Full Review State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “A perfect slice of Americana.” – Film4 Nov 8, 2023 Full Review 9 to 5 (1980) 70% EDIT “Nine To Five is light and undemanding, and ends up quavering somewhere between weak and entertaining.” – Film4 Mar 2, 2023 Full Review The Power and the Glory (1933) 86% EDIT “The Sturges script pulls its punches and Howard's direction is not in the business of suggesting that redemption isn't the normal outcome of rapaciousness. Having said that, it's worth seeing if only for Tracy's performance.” – Film4 May 13, 2021 Full Review Godzilla Raids Again (1955) 64% EDIT “Great fun.” – Film4 May 24, 2019 Full Review Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) 56% EDIT “Godzilla is re-created as a more scarier creature than ever before.” – Film4 May 23, 2019 Full Review Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) 69% EDIT “While Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains falls short of being the word on the movement, it is a fascinating, entertaining and authentically grimy trawl through the seamy side of the music-biz.” – Film4 Apr 11, 2019 Full Review The Cell (2000) 46% EDIT “The Cell is Hollywood at its most meretricious.” – Film4 Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Reefer Madness (1936) 39% EDIT “Perhaps the mother of all bad movies, however, the didactic film, unlike later stinkers, takes itself extremely seriously, seeing itself as an important instrument in the campaign against drugs. However, the film's ignorance is the audience's bliss.” – Film4 Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952) 29% EDIT “Poor Bela.” – Film4 Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Bad Boys (1995) 46% EDIT “Rousingly good Saturday night fun.” – Film4 Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Zardoz (1974) 49% 8/10 EDIT “Boorman's finest film is a wonderfully eccentric and visually exciting sci-fi quest.” – Film4 Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Harlem Nights (1989) 27% 4/10 EDIT “The story, spread thin over two hours, owed something to better films but is entirely devoid of charm, wit, acting skill or excitement.” – Film4 Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Xanadu (1980) 33% EDIT “This is not nostalgia: it's a choreographer's worst nightmare.” – Film4 Mar 26, 2019 Full Review The Lord of the Rings (1978) 48% 7/10 EDIT “A genuine cult movie” – Film4 Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Young Guns (1988) 43% EDIT “It's glossy, slick and stylish, but boasts very little in the way of substance or excitement.” – Film4 Mar 25, 2019 Full Review
