Attend a special evening hosted by Mike Atherton
88: The
Good Night
"While I hate to start chucking around charges of nepotism, I find it
hard to believe Gwyneth Paltrow would have signed up were it not written and
directed by her little brother" - Wendy Ide
87: Leatherheads
"Oh dear. You have to love George Clooney or American football a lot to
want to see this one" - Cosmo Landesman
86: The
Bank Job
"The realism here doesn't bear much scrutiny, unless the London of 1971
was populated exclusively by decent criminals, bent coppers, topless
barmaids and sinister Whitehall toffs in S&M knocking shops" -
Kevin Maher
85: Penelope
"Christina Ricci dons a prosthetic pig's nose as a woman bearing the
brunt of her family's curse. The curse can be broken only when Ricci sacks
the agent advising her to take films like this" - Wendy Ide
84: Speed
Racer
"I can’t begin to describe how creepy this futuristic movie is. The
famous actors look more plastic than the sets and the plot is a video game"
- James Christopher
83: Cassandra's
Dream
"Ultimately, the accents are excruciating, the class observations
simplistic (everyone is either posh or poor) and the sense of place muddled
at best" - Kevin Maher
82: The
Romance of Astrea and Celadon
"Talky, tediously overlong and crammed with kitsch, postcard-pretty
country scenery; culminates in a cross-dressing pseudo-lesbian clinch"
- Wendy Ide
81: City
of Ember
"Looks like an early Heath Robinson experiment. The sets are held
together by bits of string, and the costumes are supplied by Oxfam" -
James Christopher
80: 10,000
BC
"Don't expect Roland Emmerich's film to make much sense, historically,
geographically or logically. This is an effects-driven action flick that
happens to be wearing a leather loincloth and brandishing a spear" -
Wendy Ide
79: Flawless
"Demi Moore still boasts the best voice in the business (an alluring mix
of sandpaper on granite, with a dash of honey), but as an actor she is here
frequently upstaged by the magnificent foyer of the Grand Theatre in
Luxembourg" - Kevin Maher
78: Taken
"A corny, dumb and sentimental tale of revenge by a Superdad terminator
who rampages through Paris, wasting bad guys" - Cosmo Landesman
77: Jumper
"Samuel L. Jackson valiantly attempts to look menacing while wearing what
looks like a white rubber bathing cap on his head" - Wendy Ide
