The Neverending Story (1984) 84% EDIT “This utterly enchanting, family treat of a film should leave you and yours wide-eyed with wonder.” – Film4 Nov 16, 2014 Full Review Carpool (1996) 14% EDIT “Loud, silly and choc-a-block with madcap slapstick, Hiller's film may have an alarming plot premise but it's innocent enough for all but the youngest kids to enjoy.” – Film4 May 2, 2014 Full Review Cannonball Run II (1984) 12% EDIT “This is an easy, madcap, guilty pleasure that plays like a hyperactive cross between Wacky Races and The Dukes of Hazard.” – Film4 Jun 4, 2013 Full Review Billy Madison (1995) 40% 3/5 EDIT “When you get that Sandler's comedic persona is meant to be annoying, like Beavis and Butthead or Cartman, the laughs come thick and fast.” – Film4 Jun 1, 2008 Full Review Reality Bites (1994) 62% 3.5/5 EDIT “A romantic heart, caustic wit, and the energy of its fresh cast ensure the film's continued appeal.” – Film4 May 9, 2008 Full Review Cleopatra (1963) 56% 3/5 EDIT “A giant of a movie that is sometimes lumbering, but ever watchable thanks to its uninhibited ambition, size and glamour.” – Film4 May 5, 2008 Full Review The Nines (2007) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Overly gimmicky and ultimately frustrating it may be, but at its best The Nines feels like a triple-bill of 'Twilight Zone' episodes written by Charlie Kaufman - creepy, oddball and clever.” – Film4 Nov 30, 2007 Full Review Inside Planet Earth (2008) 100% 4/5 EDIT “If Aunty Beeb could stick to productions of this quality, she wouldn't be in such a mess. Earth's script may grate with anyone over 12, but you can't help but be impressed by what you see.” – Film4 Nov 15, 2007 Full Review Gypsy Caravan (2006) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Blessed with a wealth of characters, moving stories and roof-raising performances, Gypsy Caravan is as rich as the music it promotes. Fans of Buena Vista should definitely join the club.” – Film4 Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Introducing the Dwights (2007) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Promising turns from Booth and Chittenden aren't enough to save a slight and sloppy Aussie soap from a poor script, messy direction and Blethyn's overbearing performance.” – Film4 Sep 21, 2007 Full Review A Few Days in September (2006) 47% 2/5 EDIT “Sacrificing entertainment at the altar of arty lyricism, Amigorena's snail-paced drama is dull, misjudged and a criminal waste of a cracking premise.” – Film4 Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (2006) 87% 4/5 EDIT “A treat for anyone interested in the creative process.” – Film4 Apr 27, 2007 Full Review The Good Shepherd (2006) 56% 3/5 EDIT “A serious film about a seriously relevant subject that, despite its flaws, fulfils much of its over-reaching ambition.” – Film4 Feb 23, 2007 Full Review My Name Is Albert Ayler (2005) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Working wonders with limited source material, Collin's moving tribute proves the power of simple storytelling and understatement while helping us hear Ayler's extraordinary music with fresh ears.” – Film4 Feb 9, 2007 Full Review Pickup on South Street (1953) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It's probably been a while since you watched a film as tough as Pickup On South Street.” – Film4 May 24, 2003 Full Review Promoter (1952) 50% EDIT “Brisk, brassy and keenly observed, Neame's film is a thoroughly enjoyable social satire that will appeal to the blagger in everyone.” – Film4 May 24, 2003 Full Review
