Reviewed films

Watch it again, Sam.

Smooth and dark, with a hint of sweetness. Leaves a great after-taste.

Über-cool.

If Hieronymus Bosch made a movie, this would be it, minus the swearing. Profoundly redemptive.

Pro-life, pro-love, pro-laughs!

This is, it seems, the first movie adapted from a blog - and it really works. The characters are interesting, the food looks delicious, and the film is surprisingly pro-marriage. It was also nice seeing Julie and her husband use the same Fiestaware that we do.

Bigger than... no, wait.

Krzysztof Kieslowski meets Ang Lee.

Warning: this film depicts nicotine use.

Bourne Identity meets Amelie meets Casablanca meets Love, Actually meets Arabesque.

No film does a better job of demonstrating that if Christ wasn't raised from the dead, then our faith is in vain.

Amazing and graceful.

John Malkovich as a Presbyterian minister.

The ultimate film for bibliophiles.

"It is absurd to divide films into good and bad. Films are either charming or tedious."

Will Smith is legend.

No movie for old men.

More Catholic nihilism from Scorcese.

The most intense movie I've ever seen.

As Umberto Eco says, "You can tell a lunatic by the liberties he takes with common sense, by his flashes of inspiration, and by the fact that sooner or later he brings up the Templars."

An interesting gloss on the ancient quest to find The Perfect Knight. But I'm sorry to say that committing adultery disqualifies you from attaining perfection.

Historical revisionism at its finest.

It is as it was.

Worth seeing just for David Wenham's virtuoso acting in the courtroom scene.

The best of the movies I hate.

Gunfight in the Guggenheim

Jane Austen becomes a Mormon.

Brilliant but annoying.

Arid.

Fancy having Jessica Alba in a movie and making her invisible!

I knew this global warming would lead to problems...

Tom Hanks upstaged by a volleyball.

Lying for Columbine.

Nicole Kidman at her finest.

Old hat.

Obsolete.

Somewhat obsolete.

Rendered obsolete by Hitchcock himself.

Rather Americanised version of the story of Esther. Stars Gimli and Denethor, with a wonderful cameo by Lawrence of Arabia.

As Father Brown says, "I can believe the impossible, but not the improbable." I'm happy to accept that alien ships can rise out of the earth and kill millions of people, but I cannot believe that a man can drive at full speed along a highway full of stationary cars, and not have an accident.

Reminiscent of 1970s Italian "B" movies in its texture, dialogue and narration.

Watching this is like standing in a queue for an hour.

Wishing doesn't make it so.

Overcooked.

A low-budget pastiche of the Indiana Jones, National Treasure and Tomb Raider franchises.

Boring.

Ultraviolent.

Painful.

Deadly dull.

About an hour too long.

So bad it's good.
