Funny People (2009) Simon Thompson I loved this, it's hilarious, heart warming and a little stroke of genius..

6/10
A Perfect Getaway (2009) Simon Thompson It's not a classic and doesn't have all the tension it maybe should have. It's basically distracting Hollywood thriller fluff that is enjoyable enough in the right mood.

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) Simon Thompson It's quite bland and could do with a bit more fire in its belly. More than adequate but nothing really special.

Orphan (2009) Simon Thompson Okay, so I saw the ending coming a mile off (and no, I'm not going to spoil it for everyone by telling you what happens) but that didn't stop me actually enjoying this guilty pleasure.

The Ugly Truth (2009) Simon Thompson If this film was a pizza it would be a Margherita - it fills a hole but could do with a few more ingredients.

G-Force (2009) Simon Thompson This is actually great (if ultimately silly and slightly cheesy) fun with quite a few nice sly digs at the genre that is trying to snuggle up to.

The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) Simon Thompson It moves along at a decent pace but I'd have liked something more - but what exactly, I can't quite put my finger on.

The Proposal (2009) Simon Thompson The Proposal might not be ground breaking stuff, but it's a delightful and very enjoyable distraction that will lift your spirits.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) Simon Thompson An impressive film that stands out as the jewel in the Potter crown.

Brüno (2009) Simon Thompson That's not to say that there aren't funny moments here because there are some really choice moments but they are lost in the mix of purile and often uncomfortable moments that really are below what you'd expect from the team behind this.

9/10
Public Enemies (2009) Simon Thompson Whilst there is a lot of gun action and violent set pieces in this, it's really a piece that is really all about the characters and it hands down the best gangster movie of the last decade... at least. One of this year's few must see movies.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) Simon Thompson This is the coolest film of the summer as far as family fun goes.

9/10
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Simon Thompson Despite its few faults, this is this summer's biggest ticket and ties with Star Trek for the best summer blockbuster of 2009.

3/10
The Last House on the Left (2009) Simon Thompson This is not a horror, it's a thriller and as a thriller it's moderately effective but as it a film it won't leave you feeling entertained or thrilled, just a bit uncomfortable.

9/10
The Hangover (2009) Simon Thompson With a great soundtrack and script so sharp you might need to take plasters into the cinemas with you because you might come out with cuts... this is this summer's must see comedy.

7/10
Last Chance Harvey (2008) Simon Thompson Last Chance Harvey is an absolute gem of a movie and the perfect antidote to all the big budget vehicles that are on release right now. Magical.

Terminator Salvation (2009) Simon Thompson Better than Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machines but that's not saying much. Adequate but disappointing.

Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience (2009) Simon Thompson Is it any good? That really all depends on whether you're a fan of the Jonas Brothers.

Obsessed (2009) Simon Thompson This is a guilty pleasure from start to finish and there is absolutely nothing new here but Obsessed is brilliant fun.

8/10
Drag Me to Hell (2009) Simon Thompson Drag Me To Hell is the greatest horror film of the decade and is a must see for scare fans. Gore-geous!

6/10
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) Simon Thompson Kids are well served with slapstick hi-jinks and mild peril but there are too few laugh out loud moments to keep adults entertained.

Angels & Demons (2009) Simon Thompson This isn't a bad film at all, but it could be better... and I am very aware that regardless of what I think it will be huge.

Coraline (2009) Simon Thompson Off-beat, weird, original, intense, stunning, jaw-dropping, enthralling and ingenious, this film is a beautiful piece of work that will hold your attention and capture your heart.

Star Trek (2009) Simon Thompson This is everything a summer blockbuster should be. Star Trek is a film that will delight fans and impress people who have usually steered clear of the franchise.

Is Anybody There? (2008) Simon Thompson Despite this being a small film with a small budget the cast, including a never better Michael Caine, give it their all and turn in superb performances.

Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) Simon Thompson Kids will love this, put adults might find this a bit too much.

8/10
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Simon Thompson The action is fast and furious, the script is impressive for this type of movie and the visual effects (apart from the odd occasion) are phenomenal. This is a not to be missed blockbuster that will impress as much as it will entertain.

State of Play (2009) Simon Thompson This is the best thriller of the year so far. Exciting, interesting, gripping and impossible not to get sucked into, this is a great movie.

In the Loop (2009) Simon Thompson A fantastic cast, a razor sharp script and an all too realistic story makes this an absolute must see.

I Love You, Man (2009) Simon Thompson This is a brilliant date movie that you'll be able to relate to on some level - take your best friends too! Make it a double date movie.

Race to Witch Mountain (2009) Simon Thompson While this isn't a bad film, it's a touch too dry and maybe even a bit too slow for it to be the rush it should be.
Posted Apr 09, 2009  Edit critic review
7/10
Fast & Furious (2009) Simon Thompson This is not rocket science, it won't tax your brain, it won't win any Oscars but it will have you on the edge of your seat and give you a great two hours of adrenaline pumping entertainment.

17 Again (2009) Simon Thompson Zac has star quality and it starts to shine here. He's got an exciting future ahead of him - and it's not just amongst the tween audience.

8/10
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) Simon Thompson This is probably THE family film of the year so far and it's one that has enough grown up (and by that I don't mean rude) gags to ensure that adults enjoy this too. The script is razor sharp and the voice cast is spot one.

6/10
Pirate Radio (2009) Simon Thompson The Boat That Rocked is about 40 minutes too long, relies on too many obvious and repetitive gags and tends to sag and loose pace too often for a Richard Curtis film. The good news is that this is no where near as drab or unentertaining as Wimbledon.

The Damned United (2009) Simon Thompson Brilliant and possibly the best British film of the last 5 years.

Knowing (2009) Simon Thompson What starts out as a tense and interesting movie slowly becomes an end of the world sci-fi mess that is too long and not exciting enough.

The Unborn (2009) Simon Thompson After a few initial decent scares, the corny dialogue, poor casting and cringe-worthy acting drag this movie into it's own hell. Utter rubbish.

The Young Victoria (2009) Simon Thompson Young Victoria is like a breath of fresh air for the genre.

Watchmen (2009) Simon Thompson This is a landmark film for the genre that will impress, amaze and grip but it is not light entertainment.

The Pink Panther 2 (2009) Simon Thompson I laughed more times than I thought I would so that is a big improvement on the previous film which almost made my toes curl. It will keep the kids quiet over half term and it won't be the worst film you see this year.

Bolt (2008) Simon Thompson Bolt is enormous fun from start to finish for adults and kids alike. Disney animation doesn't get much better than this - especially when in many places you will get to see this in 3D.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Simon Thompson Benjamin Button is an absolute masterpiece and is probably one of the greatest films of all time.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) Simon Thompson It's up there with some of the best teen movies of the 80s as pure pleasure that will make you feel 17 again. Brilliantly uplifting and heart warming stuff.

Burn After Reading (2008) Simon Thompson The cast is spot on, the comedy schtick is classic stuff and the who thing plays out like the ultimate exercise in exactly how to make a great movie.

88 Minutes (2007) Simon Thompson Good Sunday afternoon entertainment but it won't hang around the multiplex for long.
