Review of Whiteout (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 10 Sep 2009

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 10 Sep 2009

Arnold controls this simmering tension as adroitly as she did in her first film: it's a real skill to present quite unpleasant characters and…

Review of Julie & Julia (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 10 Sep 2009

The movie is not objectionable - it's very affectionate, and has a light comic tone - but it is insufferable…

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 03 Sep 2009

Review of Big River Man (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 03 Sep 2009

Review of (500) Days of Summer (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 03 Sep 2009

Review of Funny People (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 28 Aug 2009

Vulgarity and sentimentality are set up in a fight to the death. I laughed a few times, mostly at Jonah Hill's nerdy but casual smarts…

Review of Jetsam (2007)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 28 Aug 2009

Review of The Final Destination (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 28 Aug 2009

The film-makers' inventiveness with each death is at once camp and heartless; every scene is so heavily loaded with the potential for violent…

Review of Broken Embraces (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 28 Aug 2009

The director is toying with us, he knows it, and he knows we know it. This isn't a dud, it's just a small disappointment…

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 20 Aug 2009

Fans of their Scary Movie and its sequels know what to expect, though perhaps even they will notice here a thinning in the comedy and a coarsening…

If the accomplishment of this first scene were upheld throughout then we might have a masterpiece on our hands…

Review of Shorts (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 20 Aug 2009

No denying his energy, but it's like the energy of a kid with attention deficit disorder: his stories can't settle on anything for more than…

Review of Afterschool (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 20 Aug 2009

The writer-director Antonio Campos uses his camera in catatonically slow movements, to varying effect: sometimes it feels probing, at others…

Review of I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 20 Aug 2009
