The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “The first 90 minutes are as good as anything Cameron has done: hi-tech, blue-collar film-making; tense, brittle, on the knuckle. The last hour and a bit is increasingly OTT, sentimental and unconvincing.” – Time Out Dec 5, 2025 Full Review A Christmas Carol (1984) 98% EDIT “[George C. Scott's] intelligence and quickness at last give us a Scrooge of many dimensions; a man of tortured and forbidding nobility, made cruel by uncaring parentage and a malign fate, rather than the usual thin miser.” – Time Out Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Sheba, Baby (1975) 28% EDIT “Pap, made with contempt.” – Time Out Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 32% EDIT “As the complex internecine warfare unfolds (with good emphasis on the nationalities involved), the script becomes increasingly schematic, finally degenerating into one endless shoot-out.” – Time Out Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1992) 55% EDIT “Visually remarkable, but with a gallon of Sherman syrup poured over it.” – Time Out Mar 7, 2023 Full Review Andy Warhol's Trash (1970) 80% EDIT “Flesh and Trash are both eulogies to Dallesandro's body, but are also both moralistic to the point of being puritan about sex in general, and the female sex in particular.” – Time Out Sep 21, 2022 Full Review The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974) 90% EDIT “Aiming for the stars, the film hits a magazine spread by Norman Rockwell, and obstinately stays there: a respectable enough achievement in its way, but one that ultimately dims the mind as it stirs up the emotions.” – Time Out Feb 5, 2021 Full Review National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985) 37% 3/5 EDIT “Overall, it's not quite funny or memorable enough.” – Time Out Aug 13, 2020 Full Review National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Sure, it's crude, episodic and half the jokes don't work, but 'Christmas Vacation' may be the only modern Christmas comedy which really stands up to repeat viewings.” – Time Out Aug 12, 2020 Full Review The King of Staten Island (2020) 76% 2/5 EDIT “The talented cast and authentic locales aren't enough to combat a sluggish script, filled with superfluous tangents that inflate the runtime past two hours.” – Time Out Jun 9, 2020 Full Review Cherrybomb (2009) 42% 2/5 EDIT “It's cheering to see a Northern Irish story moving beyond the Troubles, but the merely adequate theatrics on display aren't noteworthy in themselves. Grint looks set for better things.” – Time Out May 13, 2020 Full Review The Air I Breathe (2007) 11% 1/5 EDIT “This pompous, concept-driven debut from American director Jieho Lee is about as hollow and doom-harbouring as an empty coffin.” – Time Out Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Villain (1971) 67% EDIT “A ludicrous exposé of the lower depths of London crime, it tarts up the hoariest old gangster clichés with a bit of homosexuality and a lot of thuggery, and manages to be both brutish and maudlin.” – Time Out Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Blue Water, White Death (1971) 100% EDIT “Still surprisingly unclichéd; a film definitely to get your teeth into.” – Time Out Mar 18, 2020 Full Review The Beast in the Cellar (1971) 17% EDIT “Familiar stuff with the addition of a bit of nastiness and gore; very average.” – Time Out Mar 17, 2020 Full Review F (2010) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Grounded by Schofield's central turn, F makes much of its limited resources, locking us into its nocturnal world and throwing away the key.” – Time Out Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Pieces of Dreams (1970) EDIT “[A] soapy melodrama.” – Time Out Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) 95% EDIT “This classic tale is still beloved today, as its feel-good story about the most famous reindeer of all wins every kid (and, fine, adult) over.” – Time Out Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Von Richthofen and Brown (1971) 56% EDIT “Corman's Poe-derived motifs are transposed exuberantly to the skies as WWI biplanes fight it out with romantic heroism.” – Time Out Oct 13, 2018 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1951) 83% EDIT “Disney's frantic take on Lewis Carroll may lack much of the book's illogical charm, but it does contain one of the great proto-psychedelic sequences in cinema.” – Time Out Dec 2, 2014 Full Review Salome (1922) 67% EDIT “Despite careful stylisation and exquisite photography, this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play boasts a healthy streak of vulgarity of which Wilde, one suspects, would have secretly approved.” – Time Out Mar 5, 2014 Full Review Love's Kitchen (2011) 18% 2/5 EDIT “This English country pub romance dishes up a helping of soapy, teatime-TV harmlessness.” – Time Out Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Leap Year (2010) 24% 1/5 EDIT “Adams does her level best, but her perkiness quickly wears as thin as her spiky heels on those pesky rural roads.” – Time Out Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Ménilmontant (1926) 100% EDIT “In Kirsanoff's work, such devices are overridden and firmly welded together by the romantic impressionism which casts a haunting aura of malevolent beauty over Ménilmontant and its suburban axe murderer.” – Time Out Apr 12, 2011 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 59% EDIT “Pocahontas can't get stirred dramatically for political correctness, the finale will please nobody, and the songs are duff. That said, there are enough incidental felicities to pass the time pleasantly.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2006 Full Review
