Review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

By Ray Bennett (125) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 03 Jun 2013

Review of Children of Men (2006)

By Ray Bennett (125) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 15 Feb 2013

Owen carries the film more in the tradition of a Jimmy Stewart or Henry Fonda than a Clint Eastwood or Harrison Ford…

Review of Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010)

By Ray Bennett (125) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 04 Dec 2012

Review of Outlander (2008)

Review of Southland Tales (2007)

By Ray Bennett (125) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 06 Oct 2012

Review of London Boulevard (2010)

By Ray Bennett (125) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 Nov 2011

Review of The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

By Ray Bennett (125) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Jul 2011
