Bang Bang (2024) 81% EDIT “ It wants to be a story of reconnection with family, of generational anger and abuse, of long-held grudges and revenge, and finally of the toll that a violent sport takes on its athletes–but it simply doesn’t manage to do any of it well enough.” – MovieJawn Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Hostel Part II (2007) 44% 4/5 EDIT “” – MovieWeb Apr 26, 2011 Full Review 28 Weeks Later (2007) 73% 5/5 EDIT “” – MovieWeb Apr 26, 2011 Full Review Control - Love Will Tear Us Apart (2007) 88% 6/10 EDIT “Greenhalgh's script plots a confusing route through proceedings, using clunky dialogue and glaring foreshadowing.” – Tiscali Oct 27, 2007 Full Review Ratatouille (2007) 96% 7/10 EDIT “While Ratatouille may lack the pioneering invention and sardonic wit of some of Pixar's previous films, there is plenty to enjoy for the kid in everyone.” – Tiscali Jul 14, 2007 Full Review The Namesake (2006) 85% 6/10 EDIT “There are some nice performances, most notably from Tabu as the dignified Ashmira.” – Tiscali Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Zodiac (2007) 90% 9/10 EDIT “Chilling, smart and intense, with the occasional glimmer of light allowed to penetrate the darkness, Zodiac is utterly compelling.” – Tiscali Mar 3, 2007 Full Review The Illusionist (2006) 74% 7/10 EDIT “Norton is pitch perfect as the aloof and complex Eisenheim, who maintains an inscrutability every bit as enthralling as his illusions.” – Tiscali Feb 24, 2007 Full Review Norbit (2007) 9% 4/10 EDIT “The trouble with fat jokes is they wear thin very quickly.” – Tiscali Feb 24, 2007 Full Review The Good Shepherd (2006) 56% 8/10 EDIT “The Good Shepherd is meticulous, intricate and unhurried, but with so much to absorb and admire, it's good not to rush.” – Tiscali Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Dreamgirls (2006) 79% 5/10 EDIT “Dreamgirls, like most musicals, isn't so much about the story as it is about the music, which in this case is primarily the problem.” – Tiscali Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Apocalypto (2006) 65% 6/10 EDIT “The impressive sets and sheer scale of the city scenes conjure thoughts of Cecil B. DeMille's great epics.” – Tiscali Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Blood Diamond (2006) 64% 7/10 EDIT “DiCaprio has matured into an actor of real substance, with the chops to pull off challenging and weighty roles. The youthful fragility has gone, replaced with a forceful presence.” – Tiscali Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Déjà Vu (2006) 55% 6/10 EDIT “If I experienced déjà vu and saw the film again, there's a possibility I might even understand the physics involved, but as diverting as Déjà Vu is, I'm not sure it's worth it.” – Tiscali Nov 29, 2006 Full Review The Fountain (2006) 52% 7/10 EDIT “The Fountain doesn't offer any new theories about the existence of eternal life, but it offers a fascinating look at some age old ones.” – Tiscali Nov 25, 2006 Full Review Happy Feet (2006) 76% 5/10 EDIT “Disappointing.” – Tiscali Nov 25, 2006 Full Review Stranger Than Fiction (2006) 73% 8/10 EDIT “Further proof, were it needed, that where there's a Will, there's a way.” – Tiscali Nov 11, 2006 Full Review Flushed Away (2006) 72% 7/10 EDIT “As if to confirm how amusingly bizarre it all is, the story even includes England reaching the World Cup final.” – Tiscali Nov 11, 2006 Full Review Flags of Our Fathers (2006) 76% 6/10 EDIT “There is much to admire, but inevitably with Eastwood, he finds it hard to resist lapsing into sentimentality.” – Tiscali Nov 4, 2006 Full Review The Prestige (2006) 77% 7/10 EDIT “Christopher Nolan is by no means a one trick pony.” – Tiscali Oct 28, 2006 Full Review The Grudge 2 (2006) 12% 3/10 EDIT “Spinning out a flimsy idea into a movie is one thing, but dragging it out to a sequel is simply mercenary.” – Tiscali Oct 21, 2006 Full Review Basic Instinct 2 (2006) 6% 5/10 EDIT “For those who were happy enough to sit through a mediocre thriller buoyed by the promise of a fleeting second of titillation, this sequel will no doubt satisfy. For those looking for something more substantial, your naiveté is endearing.” – Tiscali Oct 11, 2006 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada (2006) 75% 6/10 EDIT “The Devil Wears Prada is like many of the models that grace the haute couture catwalks, appealing enough on the outside, but not much going on inside.” – Tiscali Oct 11, 2006 Full Review Poseidon (2006) 33% 4/10 EDIT “It's not a question of being so bad it's good. It's not. It's truly bad. But the sheer brazen enormity of its failings is impressive.” – Tiscali Oct 11, 2006 Full Review The Departed (2006) 91% 8/10 EDIT “A seriously good film.” – Tiscali Oct 11, 2006 Full Review
