2/4	" There's a big difference between slowly unfurling a difficult story so that it rewards a patient audience, and simply teasing viewers nearly to the point of torture. The Golden Door [skirts] dangerously close to the torturous." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jun 21, 2007	Golden Door (2007)	70%
2/4	" Shrek the Third has a maddeningly plodding pace. It's less a movie than a shiny magnet installed in theaters to take your money." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 17, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
3/4	" Waitress shows Shelly, just 40 when she was killed, to be a filmmaker of poise and promise. It's tragic that promise was never realized beyond this sweet, if slight, project -- but still a decent tribute to Shelly's multifaceted abilities." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 10, 2007	Waitress (2007)	88%
3/4	" *Heartrending, elegant and restrained, Away From Her* is a wonderful showcase for not just Christie and the rest of its powerful cast, but for Polley's multidimensional skills.*" -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted May 10, 2007	Away From Her (2007)	95%
3/4	" A far better, more absorbing melodrama than its titular conceit would have you expect." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 10, 2007	Georgia Rule (2007)	18%
1/4	" The Ex, directed with a breathtaking lack of instinct by Jesse Peretz, is always at least a half-beat off." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 10, 2007	The Ex (2007)	19%
2/4	" *Many things happen in 28 Weeks Later, but you watch all of them with a sense of detachment. There is idle curiosity about who will be killed next, and how, but no real investment in their fates." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted May 10, 2007	28 Weeks Later (2007)	71%
0/4	" There are a lot of offensive things about Gringo Wedding, an ostensible romantic comedy partially made in South Florida. It's racist, sexist and homophobic. But perhaps most galling is how stupid it is." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 4, 2007	Gringo Wedding (2007)	n/a
2/4	" By all rights, this should be terrible -- but it's not. It's simply mediocre." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 3, 2007	Lucky You (2007)	28%
3.5/4	" The best installment of the saga yet, in large part because its villains are so much more compelling than those past." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted May 3, 2007	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	61%
3/4	" *When it comes to a movie as consistently hilarious as Hot Fuzz, it's better to have too much of a good thing than too little." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Apr 19, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
3/4	" It's been quite a few years since we've had an intelligent, engaging legal thriller. Into the void slips Fracture, which fits the bill thanks to a polished script, great stars and a director perfectly suited for this territory." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 19, 2007	Fracture (2007)	71%
2.5/4	" Not high art, but it serves its purpose." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 12, 2007	Disturbia (2007)	67%
1/4	" Perfect Stranger is Halle Berry's latest descent into career purgatory." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 12, 2007	Perfect Stranger (2007)	10%
3/4	" Twisty, quite fun and generally bereft of sentimentality. It is, in short, just about the last movie you'd expect Lasse Hallstr�m to make." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 5, 2007	The Hoax (2007)	85%
3.5/4	" Further proof that every movie is better when it has zombies in it, Planet Terror also demonstrates that every movie is better when it features a retired stripper/aspiring stand-up comedian with a machine gun in place of her freshly amputated leg." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Apr 5, 2007	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
3/4	" Shooter is a well-timed reminder that cinematic violence can qualify as something other than mindless -- it can even, in deft hands, be mindful." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 22, 2007	Shooter (2007)	47%
2.5/4	" Pride is so unapologetically earnest in its inspirational values, you either want to love it or kill it." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 22, 2007	Pride (2007)	46%
2/4	" There are just enough great lines to keep this uneven comedy from devolving into a complete mess, but it never coalesces into anything of substance or real quality." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 15, 2007	I Think I Love My Wife (2007)	19%
2/4	" The movie does deserve credit for sticking to an ending no one at the studio could have wanted. We would, however, like to premonish that the conclusion is equally unlikely to satisfy the audience." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 15, 2007	Premonition (2007)	8%
3.5/4	" Deserves to be celebrated as a work that comes closer than any other to achieving what the filmmaker does best: Reminding us that no matter what is happening on a larger scale, we are defined by our interpersonal relationships." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 9, 2007	Breaking and Entering (2007)	34%
1.5/4	" The hilariously bombastic story about the ancient Battle of Thermopylae is very much like spending two hours watching someone play a video game." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 8, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
.5/4	" *Somehow Full of It* got made and got distributed, despite its nearly fanatical lack of wit or originality.*" -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Mar 1, 2007	Full of It (2007)	6%
2/4	" Writer-director Craig Brewer does several things very right in his follow-up to the overrated Hustle & Flow (which also boasted a dubious grasp of gender relations). But subtlety is not one of them, and neither is a lack of raging misogyny." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Mar 1, 2007	Black Snake Moan (2007)	66%
3/4	" *Although Zodiac* is not what most people want or expect, it is a fairly fantastic work of slow-burning eeriness.*" -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Mar 1, 2007	Zodiac (2007)	89%
3/4	" By all rights, such a slapdash formula shouldn't work. And yet, this is a movie that gives fans of the show pretty much everything they could want." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 22, 2007	Reno 911!: Miami (2007)	34%
3/4	" A quietly fascinating and intelligent story about betrayal." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 15, 2007	Breach (2007)	84%
1/4	" Music and Lyrics can't even pull off the simple task of casting two actors who share a slight whiff of chemistry." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 14, 2007	Music and Lyrics (2007)	63%
1.5/4	" How far the bite-y have fallen." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 8, 2007	Hannibal Rising (2007)	15%
1/4	" The brain recoils at even having to recount the ill-conceived plot." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Feb 1, 2007	Because I Said So (2007)	5%
2.5/4	" It's passable entertainment that you don't have to feel totally guilty about enjoying. In late January, we'll take it." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 25, 2007	Catch and Release (2007)	22%
2.5/4	" *Eastwood's ambition to give voice to the people who, in Flags, were a mostly faceless enemy is laudable, but the execution finds the director not striving for much originality." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Jan 18, 2007	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	91%
3/4	" Pan's Labyrinth, with its unblinking sense of the baroque, may be a tough sell for anyone generally not interested in fantasy. But the film is one of the most original and spectacular of the year." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 11, 2007	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
2/4	" *Even though Stomp the Yard* is, at heart, kind of undeniably silly (the rival frats are rather Sharks-Jets), it's an irresistible brand of silliness.*" -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Jan 11, 2007	Stomp the Yard (2007)	27%
.5/4	" *It's rare to encounter a movie as aggressive in its ridiculousness as Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. So, credit where credit is due: This is an extremely ambitious terrible film." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Jan 4, 2007	Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)	57%
3.5/4	" This is the kind of film so joyful you can imagine watching it again and again. Anytime you come away from such ultimately dark subject matter suffused with happy appreciation, you know you've stumbled on something special." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 4, 2007	Notes on a Scandal (2006)	87%
2/4	" The story, despite its nominally fascinating nature, never barrels forth the way it needs to. It plods. How a director as versatile and inventive as Cuar�n managed that is a mystery greater than any found in the film." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Jan 4, 2007	Children of Men (2006)	92%
2/4	" *What [director] Condon cannot do is instill in Dreamgirls* any beguiling qualities, any magic that would make even those resistant to musicals fall under its spell.*" -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Dec 28, 2006	Dreamgirls (2006)	78%
	" There is not an actor in The Painted Veil who is anything less than supremely talented. But despite having a razor-sharp script from which to work, [director John] Curran can't quite get a single character to come fully alive." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 28, 2006	The Painted Veil (2006)	73%
3.5/4	" Volver is a rapturous, freewheeling valentine to the [female] gender as a whole, and as luxuriously voluptuous as the women who populate it." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 21, 2006	Volver (2006)	91%
1.5/4	" *Many things happen in The Good Shepherd, but very few of them are especially interesting or, more to the point, memorable." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Dec 21, 2006	The Good Shepherd (2006)	56%
3/4	" It's not that We Are Marshall does anything groundbreaking -- and that dependability is part of its appeal. It's an undeniably compelling story, and maybe it would make you cry just as hard even if it weren't gracefully told." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 21, 2006	We Are Marshall (2006)	48%
	" Rocky Balboa works as a decent nostalgia piece and sports drama." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 20, 2006	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
3.5/4	" Heart ... puddle ... on floor." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 7, 2006	The Holiday (2006)	48%
2.5/4	" A ragged but extremely amiable family comedy." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 7, 2006	Unaccompanied Minors (2006)	27%
3.5/4	" You could dog-ear the pages of every thesaurus imaginable, though, and still not be able to capture the visceral power that Gibson presents. You just have to see it." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Dec 7, 2006	Apocalypto (2006)	65%
1.5/4	" *It would be one thing if Turistas* were simply bad -- the real sin is that it's unimaginatively bad.*" -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Nov 30, 2006	Turistas (2006)	15%
1/4	" *Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been three weeks since I saw The Nativity Story, and I still think it is so far from divine as to in fact be abominably bad." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel* Posted Nov 30, 2006	The Nativity Story (2006)	39%
2.5/4	" Estevez has crafted an indelible portrait of a great man who, to many of us, is never thought of as anything but the brother of another dead Kennedy." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Nov 21, 2006	Bobby (2006)	45%
2.5/4	" For Your Consideration is far from a failure, because Guest rounds up his usual sprawling ensemble to provide a variety of superb supporting parts." -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Posted Nov 21, 2006	For Your Consideration (2006)	51%
