In Fear (2013) 81% 3/5 EDIT “A smart, spooky horror that wastes no time in disappearing into its shadowy, wooded depths, but ultimately ends up getting lost itself in all the darkness and gloom.” – CineVue Mar 6, 2019 Full Review About Time (2013) 71% 3/5 EDIT “About Time is inevitably moving stuff; a sci-fi for those who like a spoonful of sugar to help the paradoxes go down.” – CineVue Mar 2, 2019 Full Review From Up on Poppy Hill (2011) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Accompanied by a joyous, honky-tonk score from Satoshi Takebe and earnestly voiced by its leads, this is a perfectly rendered world that quietly throbs with sadness and thrums with modern progress.” – CineVue Feb 27, 2019 Full Review This Is the End (2013) 82% 3/5 EDIT “A comedy movie that doesn't bring about the LOLpocalypse? It's slightly disappointing, but it's not the end of the world.” – CineVue Feb 26, 2019 Full Review How Do You Write a Joe Schermann Song (2012) 4/5 EDIT “May not be based on a West End show or a pop group's greatest hits, but it's a musical -- in the original sense of the word -- that doesn't hit a bum note.” – CineVue Feb 13, 2019 Full Review All Things to All Men (2012) 24% 2/5 EDIT “If it wasn't for the presence of a talented cast and a few decent set pieces, it could almost be a tourist video.” – CineVue Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Wreck-It Ralph (2012) 87% 2/5 EDIT “The arcade is just window dressing for a sugar rush of child-friendly product placement.” – CineVue Feb 9, 2019 Full Review Your Sister's Sister (2011) 85% 3/5 EDIT “With its trio of pitch-perfect performances, this is probably the best threesome you'll see all year.” – CineVue Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Storage 24 (2012) 41% 3/5 EDIT “Roberts gets the most out of the mildly novel premise and there are some welcome stabs of humour. The pacing is fairly nippy, too, while the derivative monster design is gooey enough to keep the thrills cheap and trashy.” – CineVue Jan 25, 2019 Full Review 2 Days in New York (2012) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Turns Franco-humour into a central plot line. The results are mixed, yet irresistibly charming.” – CineVue Jan 8, 2019 Full Review All in Good Time (2012) 64% 3/5 EDIT “A cute production that, whilst hardly a breakthrough for the British film industry, has enough laughter to stop it becoming a hard graft.” – CineVue Jan 8, 2019 Full Review Transit (2012) 50% 3/5 EDIT “When it goes off-road, it skids out of control, but Negret never takes his foot off the accelerator -- the 84 minutes are over before you know it.” – CineVue Jan 8, 2019 Full Review 21 Jump Street (2012) 85% 4/5 EDIT “A surprisingly sharp film that mixes several genres together - and then subverts them all.” – CineVue Dec 19, 2018 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% 2/5 EDIT “The pod-racing sequence halfway through is exhilarating... The rest of it just about hangs together with some truly dreadful dialogue.” – CineVue Dec 13, 2018 Full Review The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Streamlining Larsson's clunky storytelling, Zaillan injects a welcome streak of humour into events, giving Craig - and the rest of the superb cast - a chance to be both funny and icily ominous.” – CineVue Dec 6, 2018 Full Review In Time (2011) 36% 3/5 EDIT “Slipping on an expensive suit, Timberlake's likeable lead fits in nicely. He has good chemistry with Seyfried's wide-eyed sidekick... The action is solid too, thanks to those constant deadlines.” – CineVue Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Weekend (2011) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A superb slice of contemporary British cinema from an hugely talented filmmaker.” – CineVue Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Season of the Witch (2011) 11% 3/5 EDIT “Season of the Witch is ridiculous in every way. But it's as ridiculous as any ironic fan of Nicolas Cage or hammy, "swords 'n' spells" nonsense could ever wish it to be.” – CineVue Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Barney's Version (2010) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Michael Konyves' screenplay is all too conventional in its episodic structure and fluctuating emotional tone. Without any peaks of laugh-out-loud hilarity, you end up counting the seconds until the next quiet, serious conversation.” – CineVue Nov 6, 2018 Full Review The Thorn in the Heart (2009) 52% 2/5 EDIT “The Thorn in the Heart is interesting but never involving. It's a home movie in the truest sense - something for Michel Gondry to watch in his living room, not to play in public.” – CineVue Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Winter's Bone (2010) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Granik and Anne Rosellini's screenplay is a simple affair, allowing Jennifer Lawrence's grim determination to keep you hooked. And it works.” – CineVue Nov 5, 2018 Full Review
