Code Unknown (2000)

“Code Unknown is an unusual example of a movie that is socially aware, but that is thankfully equally aware of how tiresome moralising and preaching can be.” –

Dying Young (1991)
25%
“A decidedly dubious early 1990s love story from Joel Schumacher. The Kenny G sax solos don't help either.” –

Moulin Rouge (2001)
75%
“Luhrmann, music director Marius DeVries, co-writer Craig Pearce and the entire cast and crew have given the production vast amounts of energy. The result is a genuinely exhilarating experience. Moulin Rouge is like the best party ever, to the power of 10.” –

3.5/5
“Those who adore the books may bemoan the flat emotional landscape of the films, which are less easy to engage with. Fans of the first film will be suitably entertained.” –

5/5
“Intense and dark but also humorous and moving, this is an ambitious film that fulfils its promise, despite an arguably overly protracted denouement. Excellent.” –

“It's the end of the world as escapism. It's an event movie. It's daft. The visual effects are amazing. See it on a big screen.” –

Bright Star (2009)

3.5/5
“An eloquent, well-crafted return to form - and return to corsets and period frocks - for Jane Campion, who uses the character of Fanny Brawne, the survivor, to give a unique perspective on the creative, terminal period in the life of John Keats.” –

“Its US focus is disappointing considering the global issues, the sound mix is terrible in places, there's some iffy animation.” –

2/5
“As a low-budget, quickly-made Brit flick, this is impressive for its ambition, but as a globe-spanning political thriller it lacks credibility and veers into the absurd.” –

“If you are a gamer, and like shooters, science fiction, action, and wouldn't consider gratuitous boob shots gratuitous, you won't feel short-changing on leaving the cinema after watching Gamer.” –
