The Lake House | Sci-Fi Weekly | Michael Szymanski | Time-travel films often bring up a lot of questions, and they often fall apart with thoughtful scrutiny, but that's part of the fun.

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (Rupan sansei: Kariosutoro no shiro) | Sci-Fi Weekly | Tasha Robinson | Monkey Punch's lanky, flapping heroes contrast somewhat oddly with Miyazaki's fine-featured, trim subsidiary characters, but "Castle" moves along at such a brisk pace that it's hard to concentrate on anything but keeping up with the ride. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,145 |

Perfect Blue | Sci-Fi Weekly | Tasha Robinson | Perfect Blue's success lies in the twisted, self-referential storyline that intercuts reality with fantasy so fluidly that viewers inevitably take on Mima's shattered point of view, unable to distinguish the truth until the stunning conclusion. | A | long_letter | null | null | false | 16 | 18 | 1 | 2,145 |

Silent Hill | Sci-Fi Weekly | Michael Szymanski | As a fluke, I took my mom (also named Rose) to the screening.

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D | Sci-Fi Weekly | Michael Szymanski | My 3-year-old kept his glasses on through most of the film, he remembered characters' names and he didn't potty in his pants.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button | SciFi.com | Todd Gilchrist | A film with the epic scope of a crowd-pleaser but the subtlety of an introspective character study, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is at once intimate and sweeping, and one of the year's very best films. | A | short_letter | null | null | false | 5 | 6 | 1 | 2,146 |
Orphan | Scotland on Sunday | Rosanna Chianta | If Esther materialises silently and unexpectedly once at the edge of the camera, she does it a dozen times - but this is merely the film warming up its trash aesthetic before heading onwards to a memorably queasy finale. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |

Annie | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | This remake updates the musical to include hip-hop stylings, Twitter updates and YouTube references, but any charm has been left behind in John Huston's 1982 film. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |

Black Sea | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | Director Kevin Macdonald creates some great scenes of subaquatic tension, but Law's Aberdonian accent makes Groundskeeper Willie sound authentic. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |
Joe | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | Moody, melancholy and well-intentioned, Joe works better as a character study than the melodramatic parable that it eventually embraces. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |

Kingsman: The Secret Service | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | Firth is the lynchpin of Kingsman. It's a pleasure to watch him take down a pub full of heavies, but Firth also brings a suave wit to his line readings and a moral core to the over-caffeinated violence. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |
Men, Women & Children | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | A new film, but the themes are old and tired. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |
Quantum of Solace | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | Maybe Bond is still an action figure whose default setting is beating up bad guys, pulling out a gun and running across roofs. But if boys have to be boys, it's a huge relief to know the new Bond age is confident enough to keep them conflicted about it. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |
Skyfall | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | Overall, Skyfall is an accomplished action movie which allows Bond a little more psychological complexity and stronger emotional beats. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |
The Grand Budapest Hotel | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | Every shot is gorgeously framed, with screwball rhythms patterned after 1930s European ironists such as Ernst Lubitsch and Billy Wilder. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |

The Wolverine | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | It's laudable that Wolverine tries to show cultural curiosity outside all-American heroism.

The Ugly Truth | Scotland on Sunday | null | The ugly truth about this limp misfire is that its plotting springs not from a lack of imagination, but from a lack of respect for light romance and the audience.

Unbroken | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | The problem is that Jolie cannot bring herself to be selective, instead cramming all of these incidents into one movie. The result is a picture that never hits its stride. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |
X-Men: Days of Future Past | Scotland on Sunday | Siobhan Synnot | I like that X-Men eschews the hipster cynicism of other superhero movies, and that Singer encourages the cast to give their performances Shakespearian vigour. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,147 |

Repo Men | Scotsman | null | The film bounces from knockaround black comedy to gruesome action film to not-quite-clever-enough sci-fi mindbender, without ever establishing a consistent tone or a style that works. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |

Dolittle | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | Aside from an intriguing opening that introduces us to Dolittle as a grief-stricken recluse living in a country mansion with a menagerie of exotic animal pals, the film fails to enchant on any level. | 1/4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | false | 0 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
Exit Through The Gift Shop | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | It's very funny and offers an amusing take-down of the pretentiousness of the art world and the way that it can be corrupted and co-opted by big money. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
I Am Love | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | This lavish Italian melodrama has had festival crowds and critics cooing, but it's hard to see what all the fuss is about beyond the luscious visuals and American composer John Adams's off-kilter score. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
I Love You Phillip Morris | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | Carrey demonstrates an ability to successfully flit between the kind of flat-out slapstick physical humour with which he made his name and that darker, more disturbing strain of comedy he never quite nailed in early efforts such as The Cable Guy. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
Iron Man 2 | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | Iron Man 2 feels less like a proper sequel and more like an extended, very expensive infomercial for Marvel's future superhero movie slate. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
Nanny McPhee Returns | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | Writer/producer/star Emma Thompson resurrects the titular, magic-practising child-carer of her 2005 Mary Poppins-riffing hit for yet more old-fashioned, family-centric fun in this slightly improved sequel. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |

Storm (Sturm) | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | Shot in an appropriately dry, non-sensational style, German director Hans-Christian Schmid's courtroom thriller does a decent job of exposing the complexities of the issue and the way bureaucratic cowardice can blight and skew morality. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
The Infidel | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | The film slugs along, never bad, exactly, but never funny either, and as it works towards its vaguely farcical resolution, it starts to resemble every other lame Brit-com. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King | Scotsman | Alastair McKay | The best thing about The Return of the King is Ian McKellen, who lends Shakespearean gravitas to his portrayal of the weary wizard. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |
Valhalla Rising | Scotsman | Alistair Harkness | It's not the easiest film to get a handle on, but there's something great about how unashamedly wigged-out and strange it is, and it confirms Refn as one of the most fascinating directors working. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2,148 |

A Hologram for the King | Screen Comment | Nathanael Hood | It's also one of the first, if not THE first, American film I've watched that suggests that it's the West that needs the Middle East's economic influence, not the other way around. | 7/10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | false | 6 | 10 | 1 | 2,150 |
A Kind of Murder | Screen Comment | Nathanael Hood | It feels more like an exercise in defining the mechanics of suspense than in actually utilizing them. | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 5 | 10 | 1 | 2,150 |

AWOL | Screen Comment | Nathanael Hood | Completely bereft of momentum, it staggers and stumbles its torturous way through an eighty five-minute run-time without offering anything creative or original. | 4/10 | 10 | 4 | 10 | false | 3 | 10 | 1 | 2,150 |
Bad Rap | Screen Comment | Nathanael Hood | It spends far too little time focusing on the actual history of Asian American rappers...and poorly divides time between the four main rappers. | 6/10 | 10 | 6 | 10 | false | 5 | 10 | 1 | 2,150 |

CHIPS | Screen International | Tim Grierson | A grab bag of vulgarities, sex jokes, slapstick, nudity and chase scenes, "CHIPS" is far better than expected.

Cop Out | Screen International | Brent Simon | Meandering and listless, Cop Out serves as ample proof that actors can't merely show up on the day of filming and wing it.

Hot Tub Time Machine | Screen International | Brent Simon | A wild, hit-and-miss stab at high-concept comedy.

The Pelican Brief | Screen International | Emanuel Levy | A curiously disappointing thriller from Alan Pakula, reaffirming the notion that John Gresham's best-selling novels are more fun to read (at the airport) than watch on the big screen, even if they star Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts. | C | long_letter | null | null | false | 10 | 18 | 1 | 2,152 |
The Fighter | Screen International | Brent Simon | More a lurching, blue-collar social drama than a conventional boxing biopic, The Fighter connects fitfully as a story of brotherly bonds and underdog triumph, courtesy of engaging performances. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,152 |

Waiting for Guffman | Screen International | Emanuel Levy | A sly, gleeful and subtle comedy that pokes fun at American musicals, amateur theatricals, and the culture of celebrity-the universal wish to be famous--set in the small, provincial town of Blaine about to celebrate its 150th anniversary. | A- | long_letter | null | null | false | 15 | 18 | 1 | 2,152 |
The Gentlemen | Screen Queens | Caitlin Kennedy | Class meets crass in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen .
