The Fog (1980) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Ghoulish, tense and utterly fantastical, John Carpenter's tale of shipwrecked spectres squelching their way through a fluorescent fog to wreak vengeance on a seaside town is a classic campfire yarn.” – Empire Magazine Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Lucky (2017) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Lucky is a profound, wry, slip of a movie carried by Stanton's moving performance.” – Empire Magazine Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Murder on the Orient Express (2017) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Branagh adheres to Christie's ideal with his performance but remains in the shadow of TV's David Suchet.” – Empire Magazine Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Gifted (2017) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Warm and heartfelt performances from the two principals are undercut by a formula that too readily reveals the outcome. Interesting workings fail to fully add up. Must do better next term.” – Empire Magazine Jun 8, 2017 Full Review 20th Century Women (2016) 88% 4/5 EDIT “An insightful and, on occasion, laugh-out-loud piece of filmmaking. Artfully shot and structured, while its warmth and wit shine as brightly as the Californian sun.” – Empire Magazine Feb 7, 2017 Full Review Nocturnal Animals (2016) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Ford's artfully composed and emotionally clever noir is well-paced and, in stark contrast to the naked flesh that opens the film, never, ever sags.” – Empire Magazine Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Anthropoid (2016) 67% 4/5 EDIT “A compelling and moving interpretation of a largely forgotten moment in European history.” – Empire Magazine Sep 1, 2016 Full Review Embrace of the Serpent (2015) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Though inspired by real-life journals, Guerra's haunting and beautifully shot film transports us into the realm of the mystical and surreal.” – Empire Magazine Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Song of the Sea (2014) 99% 5/5 EDIT “Visually, this is an exquisitely composed film, and it teems with curiosities and compassion. If on occasion the story seems to wander, it arrives at an enchanting destination.” – Empire Magazine Jul 6, 2015 Full Review Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015) 19% 2/5 EDIT “A beer-fuelled thriller that's desperately short on thrills.” – Empire Magazine Mar 30, 2015 Full Review X Plus Y (2014) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Familiar formula yet Morgan Matthews' feature debut adds up to a satisfying whole.” – Empire Magazine Mar 13, 2015 Full Review Testament of Youth (2014) 84% 4/5 EDIT “There are familiar moments in Vera Brittain's stirring story, though the Kent's craft and Vikander's exquisite talent will ensure that the author's memories live in the minds of a fresh generation...” – Empire Magazine Jan 15, 2015 Full Review The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) 46% 4/5 EDIT “By far the best Twilight film to date, Slade should satisfy the fan base while opening up the series to more sceptical viewers...” – Empire Magazine Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Ninja Assassin (2009) 26% 2/5 EDIT “Decent ingredients but, as a whole, this is lacking in choreographic flair and plot substance.” – Empire Magazine Jan 22, 2010 Full Review Brothers (2009) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Despite strong performances from the leads, when it comes to pacing and power, it's the Danish original that edges it. Still, a sturdy and affecting remake that brings a powerful story to an even wider audience.” – Empire Magazine Jan 22, 2010 Full Review Dorian Gray (2009) 43% 3/5 EDIT “An ambitious if decidedly uneven interpretation of the last great Gothic horror novel.” – Empire Magazine Sep 11, 2009 Full Review Twilight (2008) 48% 4/5 EDIT “A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box office artery.” – Empire Magazine Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Taxi to the Dark Side (2007) 100% 5/5 EDIT “An unflinching documentary that exposes one of the darkest chapters in American history.” – Empire Magazine Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Man on Wire (2008) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Recounting the simple story of a complicated character, this scales giddy emotional heights, revealing a portrait of a man teetering on the brink, in more ways than one...” – Empire Magazine Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Mongol (2007) 86% 4/5 EDIT “With its breathtaking landscapes, bloody battles, bitter betrayals and an aching love story, Mongol is a sumptuously crafted epic” – Empire Magazine Jun 5, 2008 Full Review The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) 43% 3/5 EDIT “A rather titillating take on a racy historical novel, this is perhaps too ambitious in intent. More time, or more pruning (perhaps they should just have focused on The Boleyn girl), would have produced a richer and more enjoyable film.” – Empire Magazine Mar 7, 2008 Full Review My Kid Could Paint That (2007) 94% 4/5 EDIT “A highly engaging documentary that recounts a remarkable tale.” – Empire Magazine Dec 14, 2007 Full Review The Band's Visit (2007) 98% 5/5 EDIT “A heartfelt, wry and decidedly spry film.” – Empire Magazine Nov 8, 2007 Full Review I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) 15% 1/5 EDIT “With ribald and stale jokes at odds with the slender social message, this wedding piece crashes and burns amid its own hypocrisy.” – Empire Magazine Sep 21, 2007 Full Review In the Hands of the Gods (2007) 85% 4/5 EDIT “More than a film about kicky-uppies, this is a blinding doc full of flair and showmanship.” – Empire Magazine Sep 11, 2007 Full Review
