The Other Guys

Movie Review | Christopher Ratcliff | 21st September 2010

Before leaving the house this morning to see Will Ferrell's 403rd high-concept comedy this century, I quickly glanced at today's Guardian, the film and music section to be more precise, where the esteemed film critic Peter Bradshaw gave The Other Guys an unprecedented 5 stars.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

Movie Review | Ali | 20th May 2005

Of all the emotions us rapidly ageing cinemagoers feel towards George Lucas, pity is not likely to be a popular one. But give the poor guy a break.
