    A Very British Gangster
    A Very British Gangster is not only Noonan's story but a profile of a community dealing with poverty and drugs, and seeing no way out. In a sense, Noonan and his cronies are born into a life of crime.

    Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure
    Cleverly put together by writer-director Matthew Bate, the film takes a bizarre, cult folktale and turns it into a picture that is more provocative than entertaining.

    Wolf Creek
    An auspicious debut from first time Aussie writer/director Greg Mclean, film combines the style of cheesy horror films and the flair of classic thrillers.

    Eagle vs Shark
    More dumb than funny.

    Dare
    A smart and well-observed entry in the genre, is a cut above the usual hijinks.

    Good Dick
    Alternately compelling and dramatically limp, the film scores points for exploring unfamiliar territory but lacks the emotional depth to make some very strange behavior believable.

    The Guardian
    That the film doesn't rise above the formulaic is a particular disappointment as these stunningly brave Rescue Swimmers deserve a film as daring as they are.

    Gridiron Gang
    Great material, but the film never catches fire.

    Flannel Pajamas
    What starts out seeming like a poor man's Woody Allen morphs into something closer to an American version of "Scenes From a Marriage."

    The Hawk Is Dying
    Loaded with obtuse symbolism, the film is not only hard to understand, it isn't much fun trying to figure it out.

    The Catechism Cataclysm
    Not so much blasphemous as just outrageous for the hell of it.

    La mission
    Their heart is in the right place, and their tale is colorful, complete with Indian dancers in ceremonial costumes dancing on a street corner.

    Choke
    For much of the way, the film just feels like it's pressing too hard to make an impression.
    • 44 Metascore

    Brief Interviews with Hideous Men
    One hell of a date movie. A surgical examination of the male psyche based on David Foster Wallace's book and written and directed by John Krasinski, there is plenty of food for thought and argument.

    Frozen
    Frozen delivers enough thrills and gory chills to satisfy the horror film crowd, but is not written, directed or acted well enough to be a first-rate thriller.
