Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	School for Scoundrels (2006)	Mark Kermode	It's not funny; there were three laughs I counted over the entire course of the movie. Posted Feb 23, 2007 Edit critic review
	The Good Shepherd (2006)	Mark Kermode	It's well built but the Matt Damon character remains blank and too young to be convincing. It's solid, but like Damon himself it's a bit dull. Posted Feb 23, 2007 Edit critic review
	The Number 23 (2007)	Mark Kermode	A dopey numerical thriller that wants to be Se7en times three. Posted Feb 23, 2007 Edit critic review
	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	Mark Kermode	Does have a genuine emotional core and makes Flags of our Fathers look like a better film. But whether or not it's a great film; the jury is still out. Posted Feb 23, 2007 Edit critic review
	Them (2006)	Mark Kermode	A perfectly-fine stripped-down little horror movie and if you're not a hardcore horror fan you'll probably find some of it surprising. Posted Jan 29, 2007 Edit critic review
	Venus (2006)	Mark Kermode	Roger Michel knows how to do People-in-Rooms better than most directors do, but the joys of it really are the performances and it's worth seeing for O'Toole and Phillips together. Posted Jan 29, 2007 Edit critic review
	Bobby (2006)	Mark Kermode	Quite apart from the fact that it's spectacularly uninventive and uncontroversial, it's just such a luvvie-fest. Posted Jan 29, 2007 Edit critic review
	The Fountain (2006)	Mark Kermode	Bonkers, adventurous, silly, ambitious, charming, foolish; it's all those things and it'll be gone in a week. But it's not mainstream Bore-o fare, and for that it should be celebrated. Posted Jan 29, 2007 Edit critic review
	Blood Diamond (2006)	Mark Kermode	Issue-tainment. Puts the issue of conflict diamonds in the public eye. Whether or not that makes it a great drama is a slightly different question. Posted Jan 29, 2007 Edit critic review
