The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again | Hypable | Karen Rought | I applaud everyone for trying to recreate the strangely compelling story that was told with the original, but the remake seemed like a toned down version. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,649 |

Atomic Blonde | Hypable | Valerie Complex | There is no one more deserving than Charlize Theron to be crowned Hollywood's next action hero. The story needs work, though. | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 1,650 |

War for the Planet of the Apes | Hypable | Valerie Complex | War for the Planet of the Apes is the most ambitious out of the three Apes prequels.

Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud) | I.E. Weekly | Jay Antani | a perfect hybrid of French noir elegance and the New Wave's rough hewn realism | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,651 |

The Proposition | I.E. Weekly | Jay Antani | Delhomme's gorgeously gritty cinematography, and Cave's searing score give The Proposition an operatic bark and bluster. What's sorely missing is the bite. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,651 |
Somersault | I.E. Weekly | Jay Antani | Taking in Somersault's textures--alternating between frosty, pale landscapes and burnt-ochre interiors--along with Cornish's knockout performance, are true pleasures | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,651 |

Iron Man 3 | IFilm | Dave White | [Shane] Black is the reason for the season and Downey is his Santa Claus | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | true | 5 | 11 | 2 | 1,653 |
Jack the Giant Slayer | IFilm | Dave White | A corporate product drained of personality, one where you can practically hear studio notes like "MAKE THE GIANTS FARTIER!" shouted from the sidelines, a charmless theme park ride that substitutes loudness for joy. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | true | 3 | 11 | 2 | 1,653 |
Parental Guidance | IFilm | Dave White | People with brains they can't turn on and off for 90 minute stretches of holiday family togetherness will be driven to take some kind of painkiller before the final credits roll. Everyone else will be fine | 0.5/5 | 5 | 0.5 | 5 | true | 1 | 11 | 2 | 1,653 |

The Box | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It may fall short of Donnie Darko's clever storytelling, but for his third feature film, Kelly plays confidently with suspense and lays down the right hooks at the right time to keep you drawn into his creepy world. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Road | IGN Movies AU | James O'Connor | One of the most important and moving films to come along in a long time. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |

Shutter Island | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | You'll enjoy it casually -- as a career curio, maybe -- but as it stands, it's a far cry from his best. Put simply, Scorsese missed the mark on this one. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Splice | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's a shame -- there's a lot of enjoyment to be extracted from Splice, but it remains a Frankenstein's monster of piecemeal storytelling. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Get Him to the Greek | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | An overdose of pop-culture and some memorable set-ups make this a very amusing commentary on the foibles of rock stardom. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Kick-Ass | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Can this genre make fresh inroads? 'Kick-Ass' proposes an answer of sorts through a marriage of Disney Channel wholesomeness and the kind of foul-mouth dialogue and bloodletting that would make Tarantino proud. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Alice in Wonderland | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Alice in Wonderland is a lovingly filmed and meticulously crafted interpretation of Lewis Carroll's treasured tale, rife with fantasy, coated in gothic iconography and presented by a superb cast who nail their characters' portraits. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Losers | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It builds slowly and rhythmically, and leaves audiences with a lot of fuss-free fun that holds its own, and then some, in the face of the blockbuster season. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |

A Serious Man | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's also a dark, sometimes profound film that almost certainly sits amongst the best of this year and it's yet another badge on the decorated jackets of Hollywood's most accomplished filmmaking duo. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Animal Kingdom | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | This is restrained, powerful filmmaking on all fronts. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Buried | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Buried does do a hell of a lot with very little. Through clever camerawork, it's surprising how much action and tension can be built. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Clash of the Titans | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | A constant stream of computer animation that flies at you so quickly and heavy-handedly that you'll eventually tune it out, intentionally or otherwise. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Dinner for Schmucks | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Dinner for Schmucks, while not as instantly iconic and defined as [Jay Roach's] previous work, still delivers a lot of entertainment. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
District 9 | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Completely absorbing and intense. As audiences are compelled early in the film to "learn from what has happened", Blomkamp uses District 9 to quietly remind us that it's too late for some. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Drive | IGN Movies AU | Stephen Lambrechts | It's a film that has its finger on the pulse of what's current and in style, and one that has solidified its place as the coolest film of the year. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Easy A | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | The writing definitely reserves the wittiest lines for Stone, who comes off as a winner above all other cast members. Her delivery and physical comedy really underline her skills in ways that other comediennes just can't touch. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Funny People | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | While not Judd Apatow's finest hour, Funny People still strikes the same rich vein of well-produced drama-comedy as previous efforts. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Hot Tub Time Machine | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's not high brow stuff, but Hot Tub Time Machine is a comedy with genuine laughs and surprising personality. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Immortals | IGN Movies AU | Stephen Lambrechts | With Immortals, Tarsem has created a beautiful and sumptuous mythological epic with visual strengths that far outweigh the weaknesses of its fairly standard script. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Inception | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Indeed, Hollywood's obsession with 3D has extended to the storytelling process, and with Inception, it also reminds us that story and characterization still rule in the land of a thousand digital vistas. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | When Indy swings a punch or delivers a biting retort, audiences sit up and listen with looks of adoration and reverence. It's all one big spectacle, after all - so why begrudge the old guy one last adventure? | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Invention of Lying | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's a shame that the air gets let out of this one so suddenly, as if The Invention of Lying's backbone gets ripped out of the film as the final act kicks into gear. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Iron Man 2 | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Like Tony Stark himself, Iron Man 2 is a sleek and cheeky number that almost certainly trumps the fun-factor of Jon Favreau's 2008's surprise hit. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
John Carter | IGN Movies AU | Stephen Lambrechts | John Carter is a fantastic fusion of old-fashioned adventure excitement and modern blockbuster spectacle. In short, it's wonderful. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Moon | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | In an era when grey-shaded Hollywood drudge can cost hundreds of millions and deliver nothing, Moon stands out -- and it does so with dignity. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's not a good film, but if you're feeling jaded and just want to watch a demonic killer pound his fist through the chest of some hapless, cardboard teenager, then this might just scratch that itch. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Observe and Report | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's not consistently on-the-money, but Observe and Report's subversive humour should be applauded - even if it isn't as witty as it thinks it is. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Other Guys | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | While Anchorman still stands as Adam McKay's high watermark, The Other Guys manages to take a worn concept and make it feel fresh and lively in a stale mainstream comedy market. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Paranormal Activity | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | The suspense that's missing from so many horror films is there. It's a genuinely scary film -- and that's a rare thing to accomplish in front of today's blase, switched-off audiences. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time | IGN Movies AU | Beth Wilson | With the plot so under-nurtured, the action sequences needed to be spectacular, but many audiences will probably leave the cinema unsatisfied. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Robin Hood | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Robin Hood merely dots the lines in a tale that, despite wanting to add new dimensions to a worn character, and perhaps kick-start a franchise, still feels like a retread. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's audacious and youthful -- and a film that squarely targets geek culture and revels in it playfully. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Social Network | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Fincher has constructed a wonderfully balanced tale of a young narcissistic genius in want of status and recognition. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Dark Knight | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Heath Ledger's Joker is, in many ways, symbolic of Nolan's overall success with The Dark Knight; subtle and restrained, but always two shakes shy of bloody holocaust and a masterpiece of cinema that time will verify. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Expendables | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's a dark day indeed when a film can bring together so many promising elements and, when the curtains close, leave you wondering exactly what the heck you just sat through -- and if you even enjoyed it at all. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Expendables 2 | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Perhaps we're pawns in an elaborate homage to excess and macho stupidity. It's purposefully - even wilfully - bad. Given that I can't prove that Simon West isn't actually that kind of wheels-within-wheels genius, he earns benefit of my doubt. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Doctor Parnassus parallels Terry Gilliam and his most recent work: many complex ideas, grand intentions and miserable luck leading him down a path to nowhere, forcing him to start over with nothing one more time. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Incredible Hulk | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's a step in the right direction with some top-notch moments, and hardcore fans will still walk away with a giddy smile - but it's not in the same sort of league as Spider-Man 2, Iron Man or Batman Begins. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Raid: Redemption | IGN Movies AU | Stephen Lambrechts | The combination of a great premise, brilliantly-inventive direction, incredible fight sequences and spirited performances makes it easy for us to already proclaim that The Raid is the action movie of the year. | 4.5/5 | 5 | 4.5 | 5 | false | 7 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Runaways | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | The Runaways succeeds in being as brash and trashy as the source material, and just as fun. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
The Secret World of Arrietty | IGN Movies AU | Stephen Lambrechts | While this is a deeply rewarding film, people with short attention spans might not get as much out of it.

Up in the Air | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | Up in the Air is mostly honest and sometimes raw. There is power in that kind of storytelling. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps | IGN Movies AU | Stephen Lambrechts | Maybe Stone's growth as a filmmaker mirrors that of Gordon's as a person; having had time to calm down a bit over the years, he seems to have settled into a more relaxed state. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |
Watchmen | IGN Movies AU | Patrick Kolan | It's the Watchmen movie you always wanted to see but never expected to get. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,655 |

Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger - London, New York, Johannesburg | IGN Movies UK | Laura Burrows | Whether or not you find this near robotic recitation a good thing or a bad thing for a comic is up to you, but his sheer focus on timing could put any musician to shame. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 60 | 91 | 10 | 1,656 |

Hancock | IGN Movies UK | Chris Tilly | Yet because it's Smith, you know that Hancock can't be all bad, and as the film spends the next hour trying to rehabilitate him, proceedings slowly starts to fall apart. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 30 | 91 | 10 | 1,656 |
Red Dawn | IGN Movies UK | Chris Tilly | The Red Dawn remake has sat on the shelf for two years, and maybe it should have stayed there. | 5.5/10 | 10 | 5.5 | 10 | false | 45 | 91 | 10 | 1,656 |
Silent Hill: Revelation | IGN Movies UK | Chris Tilly | Silent Hill Revelation 3D is an inferior sequel in every way, shape and form, a horror sequel that fails to either intrigue or scare, and one that just might have killed the franchise cold-dead. | 4.5/10 | 10 | 4.5 | 10 | false | 35 | 91 | 10 | 1,656 |
You're Next | IGN Movies UK | Chris Tilly | A film made by people who clearly love the genre and have skillfully taken a simple premise and infused it with laughs and scares to craft what may be the most downright entertaining horror film of the year. | 8.5/10 | 10 | 8.5 | 10 | false | 75 | 91 | 10 | 1,656 |

Zodiac | IMDiversity.com | Kam Williams | Represents a bit of a departure of sorts for David Fincher, since this chilling crime saga is surprisingly understated in tone in comparison to some of his earlier, highly-stylized productions. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 1,657 |

Knives Out | INDY Week | Neil Morris | With shrewd plotting and razor-sharp repartee, Knives Out is one of the wittiest films of the year. It might also be one of the most hopeful. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,658 |
Toy Story 4 | INDY Week | Neil Morris | What might be the finale of this seminal series misses a chance to break new ground, but it ultimately lands on the truth about its central character. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,658 |

1917 | INKansas City Magazine | Lonita Cook | With an almost supernatural attention to detail, Mendes fuses the viewer with a heroic adventure that's so grand the heart is gripped by every beat, every danger, every grief.
