  • Alien Autopsy (2006)
    Review preview for Alien Autopsy

    This movie scores well on the quirky British movie scale.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3 out of 5
    Fictionalised retelling of the alien autopsy hoax film.
  • The Calcium Kid (2004)
    Cockney milkman becomes a professional boxer entirely by mistake.
  • Grow Your Own (2007)
    Review preview for Grow Your Own

    This derivative drama might have worked quite well as a four-part mini Sunday night series for the BBC. As a film, however, it fails on almost every count.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2.5 out of 5
    Allotment stuffed shirts learn some tolerance thanks to an influx of refugees.
  • Mr Nice (2010)
    Review preview for Mr Nice

    This made me proud that Britain can turn out solid, constructive comedy.

    Chris · 4 out of 5
    Rhys Ifans stars in a crazed biopic of factotum Howard Marks.
  • Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow (2004)
    Review preview for Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow

    The consistent inventiveness of the visuals is matched by the white-knuckle excitement of the plot.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    Giant robots on the wing in fantastic story of mad scientist, intrepid reporter and fighter pilot.
  • Shaun The Sheep Movie (2015)
    Review preview for Shaun The Sheep Movie

    The character design, already well established by the TV show, is crisp, the stop-motion animation as ever is lovely, and the depth of detail in the sets is great.

    Andrew Robertson · 4 out of 5
    When Shaun the Sheep takes a day off to have fun, things quickly go awry, forcing him to lead his friends on an urgent rescue mission to the city.
