Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Has its moments, but is no Dunston Checks In.” – Little White Lies Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Noah (2014) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Fascinating, but rather flawed.” – Little White Lies Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Stalingrad (2013) 51% 2/5 EDIT “Utter crassness and inhuman awe coalesce in Fedor Bondarchuk's 3D take on the bloodiest battle in modern history.” – Little White Lies Feb 20, 2014 Full Review Lone Survivor (2013) 75% 4/5 EDIT “There are nuggets of honesty amid the gung-ho jingoism in Peter Berg's starry-eyed war story.” – Little White Lies Jan 30, 2014 Full Review The Great Beauty (2013) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A simply breathtaking work of art with a very human, intensely cinematic heart.” – Little White Lies Sep 5, 2013 Full Review Hammer of the Gods (2013) 26% 2/5 EDIT “Dumb and dreary but ultimately hard to hate.” – Little White Lies Aug 29, 2013 Full Review Everybody Has a Plan (2012) 35% 4/5 EDIT “At heart it's a crime flick, but Piterbarg has woven in a woozy psychological undercurrent with a powerful pull that places it a cut above.” – Little White Lies May 30, 2013 Full Review The Look of Love (2013) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Raymond would probably have approved - which might not be such a good thing.” – Little White Lies Apr 25, 2013 Full Review The Sessions (2012) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Three days after viewing, the film's questioning generosity and sense of perspective will still be knocking around your head.” – Little White Lies Jan 17, 2013 Full Review Code Name: Geronimo (2012) 36% 3/5 EDIT “Code Name: Geronimo is a film whose defects are entirely balanced by its positive aspects.” – Little White Lies Dec 13, 2012 Full Review 360 (2011) 19% 2/5 EDIT “There's one Anthony Hopkins monologue to remember, but that only highlights everything the rest of the film so sorely lacks.” – Little White Lies Aug 9, 2012 Full Review The Giants (2011) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Wistful, beautiful-looking but as transient as that land of lost content.” – Little White Lies Jul 12, 2012 Full Review Safe (2012) 59% 3/5 EDIT “Only half as dumb as it kids on, Safe is still a cut above the average actioner.” – Little White Lies May 3, 2012 Full Review Act of Valor (2012) 28% 1/5 EDIT “Operates on more levels than Call of Combat IV: Jihadi Headshot, all of them despair-inducing.” – Little White Lies Mar 22, 2012 Full Review Pimp (2010) 0% EDIT “Both breathtakingly crass and unintentionally funny without ever being engaging or entertaining.” – Little White Lies May 21, 2010 Full Review The Firm (2009) 67% EDIT “The Firm is hardly calculated to convert those who find Love's work brash, clichd and empty, but there's a good deal of warmth and humour here.” – Little White Lies Sep 18, 2009 Full Review A Letter to True (2004) 52% 3/6 EDIT “Weber's mythologising of American loss of innocence (what, again?) and his homilies on world peace play on tired liberal totems like Martin Luther King and John Lennon and sit uncomfortably with an over-arching sense of sentimental nationalism.” – Time Out Aug 1, 2008 Full Review Married Life (2007) 56% 3/6 EDIT “It looks beautiful, and the convoluted plotting is initially the right side of Hitchcock pastiche, but the central conundrum is teased out over so many twists and false climaxes that ultimately it's a shrug, not a shock, which greets the denouement.” – Time Out Jul 31, 2008 Full Review
