 WANTED (UK release June 25th) 6/10 "we're only a step away from the Skywalker family's Midichlorian-cell magic"  HANCOCK (July 2nd) 5/10 "Berg never really seems to get much of a handle on the tonally wayward material, concentrating on getting us as quickly as possible to the next loud, pyrotechnic sequence of destructive special effects."  THE MIST (July 4th) 7/10 "the fog / mist / haar / fret / miasma is itself harmless, but conceals a range of unpleasant beasties - an entire alien ecosystem, in fact, which regards its new human neighbours as tasty prey."  MAMMA MIA! (July 10th) 5/10 "seldom has Jonathan Pryce been so sorely missed."  THE DARK KNIGHT (July 25th) 6/10 "A megalopolis like this (30m inhabitants, we're told) must rely on bottom-up solutions, which are never even considered or mentioned in the Bat-universe. And they wonder why the city is in such a mess."  THE X-FILES - I WANT TO BELIEVE (August 1st) 4/10 "Carter and company are simply trying to gussy up a drab thriller with portentous and pretentious overtones."  THE MUMMY - TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR (August 8th) 5/10 "...only occasionally clicks into proper spectacular-action-romp life."  HELLBOY II - THE GOLDEN ARMY (August 22nd) 6/10 "this being Hellboy, he isn't just a rules-ist-rules German, he's also ectoplasmic cloud of quasi-living matter walking around in what looks like an old-school diving-suit."  YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN (August 22nd) 6/10 "the picture is so gleefully tasteless, near-relentlessly energetic and puppyishly dopey that I found my resistance crumbling into semi-guilty giggles." full FDA list of films and scheduled UK release-dates is here |
