45% Daredevil (2003) " Justice may be blind, but the only enjoyment to be had out of this is to be blind drunk." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 7, 2010
87% X2: X-Men United (2003) " This has set the standard very high for this Summer and it will be interesting to see what, if any films, can match its calibre." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 7, 2010
89% Far From Heaven (2003) " One of the most beautiful looking and surprising films of the year." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
59% Blade II (2002) " ather than a by the numbers sequel, Director Guillermo Del Toro has changed the tone by not only significantly increasing the amount of action & fighting, but adding a little bit of humour into the mix." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
91% Minority Report (2002) " One of the few films I've seen so far this year that I would recommend and it is one to see on the big screen." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
82% Road to Perdition (2002) " Director Sam Mendes is on course to become one of the great directors of this decade." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
84% Total Recall (1990) " An absolutely superb sci-fi film and a true modern cornerstone of the genre not seen since the deeper though less entertaining Blade Runner nearly ten years previous." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
72% Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) " Whilst the direction and script seem off, the rest of the production work is excellent." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
98% Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) " The combination detective noir story, slightly adult humour, crazy toon characters from both Warner & Disney's vaults (a one-off which is unlikely to ever repeat) and overall technical wizardy yielded a film which set a precedent." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
29% The Punisher (2004) " Despite some admittedly strong moments it's certainly nothing special and barely above ordinary." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
85% A Single Man (2009) " A highly impressive filmmaking debut by former Gucci designer Tom Ford." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
6% Son of the Mask (2005) " Sequels without their original stars are usually sent direct to video. Some deserve better, [but] this isn't one of those." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
94% The Silence of the Lambs (1991) " Not a second of this two-hour flick, which redefined the term 'thriller' and spawned a host of clones, I can find error with." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
89% Spider-Man (2002) " Sam Raimi has gotten the exact mix right to create certainly one of the best superhero films ever made." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
94% Three Kings (1999) " Ithis is a career making movie, then its writer/director David O. Russell who deserves the credit with this very creative effort from the debut filmmaker." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
78% Sin City (2005) " Sin City is the most accurate adaptation ever done of a comic book." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
94% Spider-Man 2 (2004) " Overall it's a solid superhero movie with some memorable moments." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
26% Blade: Trinity (2004) " The weakest of the trilogy." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
88% Shrek (2001) " A real highlight of the year, certainly the one to beat this summer." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jul 6, 2010
73% Iron Man 2 (2010) " A problematic yet still quite entertaining sequel" — Dark Horizons
Posted May 7, 2010
16% Alexander (2004) " General mistakes all across the board contribute and reinforce each other to bring it down" — Dark Horizons
Posted May 1, 2010
77% Kick-Ass (2010) " Big on energy and boasting some fine performances, "Kick Ass" is also too juvenile in its irreverence and too enraptured in its bloodletting" — Dark Horizons
Posted Apr 13, 2010
28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " A few admirable elements are lost amidst a cacophony of digital set pieces, horrendous scripting, and a grim self-serious tone that's more laborious than engrossing" — Dark Horizons
Posted Apr 1, 2010
34% The Wolfman (2010) " A barely coherent, often inconsistent film that fails to generate any of the emotions it so desperately wants to evoke" — Dark Horizons
Posted Feb 13, 2010
58% Edge of Darkness (2010) " Disappointingly neutered in its own right, but considering the talent and material involved it's almost heart breaking" — Dark Horizons
Posted Jan 29, 2010
83% Avatar (2009) " A technical groundbreaker, if not a cinematic one, James Cameron's long-awaited return delivers on its promise to be a fully immersive, rousing spectacle." — Dark Horizons
Posted Dec 12, 2009
27% The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) " Considering Lautner's acting improved so much sans shirt, I wonder if there might have been Oscar buzz had he taken off his pants" — Dark Horizons
Posted Nov 19, 2009
7% Whiteout (2009) " The film's biggest crime is that no obvious effort was made here, everything flows with the rigidity of a check list of genre cliches and safe choices." — Dark Horizons
Posted Sep 26, 2009
90% District 9 (2009) " An engaging sci-fi parable rooted in both universal themes and a specific setting that often takes you by surprise with both its smarts and intensity" — Dark Horizons
Posted Aug 13, 2009
34% G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) " As a cheesy, mindless kid blockbuster it's perfectly mediocre, those already labeling it a highlight of the Summer need to get their heads examined" — Dark Horizons
Posted Aug 6, 2009
3/10 20% Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) " Bay's most unrestrained and ridiculous to date. The male teenage cinematic equivalent of snorting cocaine off a hooker's ass." — Dark Horizons
Posted Jun 23, 2009
33% Terminator Salvation (2009) " Falls mighty short against James Cameron's filmmaking proficiency and the sharp blade of fickle fanboy nostalgia" — Dark Horizons
Posted Jun 11, 2009
37% Angels & Demons (2009) " A tighter, more agreeable, decidedly more polished, and wider appealing movie that only occasionally drops into the traps of the last film" — Dark Horizons
Posted May 11, 2009
38% X-Men Origins - Wolverine (2009) " Falling somewhere between noble failure and modest success, 'Wolverine' is ultimately a generic Summer film actioneer that will quickly be forgotten" — Dark Horizons
Posted Apr 30, 2009
95% Star Trek (2009) " Reintroduces critical elements the franchise has not seen in years - cultural relevance, suspense, and a fresh sense of wonder" — Dark Horizons
Posted Apr 13, 2009
27% Fast & Furious (2009) " A film that ultimately feels more like a cobbled together rent-a-car than a sleek Euro-styled crotch magnet" — Dark Horizons
Posted Mar 31, 2009
33% Knowing (2009) " A few may find revelation in this awkward fusion of 'Left Behind' meets 'Close Encounters', but most will simply find grave disappointment" — Dark Horizons
Posted Mar 21, 2009
64% Watchmen (2009) " A wildly ambitious, often frustrating, but ultimately successful experiment that will divide audiences." — Dark Horizons
Posted Feb 27, 2009
25% Friday the 13th (2009) " This 'Friday' is simply a pointless exercise beyond paying off Michael Bay's seventh mortgage" — Dark Horizons
Posted Feb 13, 2009
59% The International (2009) " A timely yet cold drama that's exquisitely produced but mechanical and off-base in intent and execution. As for the plot? 'Terrorism, brought to you by Citibank'" — Dark Horizons
Posted Feb 11, 2009
55% Australia (2008) " A flawed, formulaic family crowd pleaser that barely succeeds as campy anachronistic period fluff. Will go down as a self-indulgent disappointment in many corners" — Dark Horizons
Posted Nov 19, 2008
64% Quantum of Solace (2008) " Nothing less than a crushing disappointment - a barely plotted, poorly filmed, hyper-edited and most of all utterly flat vehicle" — Dark Horizons
Posted Nov 15, 2008
79% Red Eye (2005) " Quick but satisfying." — Dark Horizons
Posted Oct 18, 2008
36% Igor (2008) " Ultimately the film can only dream of having the magic, personality and charm of the Tim Burton efforts it so obviously plagiarises" — Dark Horizons
Posted Oct 6, 2008
45% Lakeview Terrace (2008) " Drums up the odd moment of effective mild suspense before succumbing to standard genre shenanigans" — Dark Horizons
Posted Oct 6, 2008
26% Eagle Eye (2008) " An overcooked, far-fetched, break-neck paced thriller that has plenty of action but little time for anything else" — Dark Horizons
Posted Oct 6, 2008
61% The Duchess (2008) " Focuses far too much on the cold accuracy of details than actually emotionally involving the audience in the story. Sumptuous but barren" — Dark Horizons
Posted Sep 29, 2008
14% Mirrors (2008) " An ultimately uninteresting work that serves as a potential low point for one of the more promising genre filmmakers in recent times" — Dark Horizons
Posted Sep 11, 2008
91% Transsiberian (2008) " This is a slow, deliberate and carefully thought out piece for adults who like to savour rather than devour their thrills" — Dark Horizons
Posted Sep 11, 2008
18% Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) " Even with the bar having been lowered by the vacuous, overblown prequels though, 'Clone Wars' takes things to crass new lows" — Dark Horizons
Posted Sep 11, 2008
54% Mamma Mia! (2008) " ABBA's legacy will stand the test of time far longer than this" — Dark Horizons
