0 15% | Skyscraper Souls (1932) - Rated 14 May 2011
"Portmanteau drama in the _Grand Hotel_ mould, and quite comparable."
|
0 15% | The Killer Inside Me (1976) - Rated 04 May 2011
"Unimpressive and implausible psychological study of a man's disintegration, lacking the sleazy authenticity of the novel."
|
0 15% | 300 (2007) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"Spectacularly violent sword-and-sandal epic utilising the latest in computerised trickery; the results delights the eye, though the ear quickly tires of bombastic dialogue, more often yelled than spoken."
|
50 67% | Boogie Nights (1997) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"An entertaining and sometimes savage account of the last moments of hard-core films, just before the industry switched to video; witty and satiric for much of the time, it is spoilt by its use of gratuitous violence to overcome its narrative flaws."
|
0 15% | The Goonies (1985) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"The bottomless pit of the Spielberg genre, a silly tale which takes forever to get going and is acted by children who have not studied elocution. The trick effects when they come are OK, but it's a long annoying haul to that point."
|
25 43% | The River Wild (1994) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"Predictable action drama, made with some skill but too obvious in its plotting to create much suspense."
|
50 67% | Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"Slow-starting adventure romp with much ingenuity and too much brutality and horror. In the US it caused the creation of a new censor certificate: PG(13)."
|
75 82% | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"Commercially very successful, this attempted wrap-up of the Saturday morning serials of two generations ago spends a great deal of money and expertise on frightening rather than exciting us. Second time round, one can better enjoy the ingenious detail of the hero's exploits; still, there are boring bits in between, and the story doesn't make a lot of sense."
|
50 67% | Beyond Rangoon (1995) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"An earnest and slightly uneasy attempt to combine a narrative of an innocent in peril with a polemic exposing an unlovely regime; it works better on the level of a suspense drama than as a political one."
|
0 15% | The Italian Job (2003) - Rated 23 Mar 2011
"Only the Minis survive in this remake, which is otherwise a straightforward revenge thriller with little wit or interest."
