2/4
 
"Not so much a bad movie as a dispiritingly unnecessary one (especially by a once-great director), Youth Without Youth ultimately boils down to a long, autumn stroll around the block to a place everyone winds up at some time or another."
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
Youth Without Youth (2007)29%
/
1.5/4
 
"A tepid, CGI-enhanced family movie that should delight 6-year-olds with a lap full of popcorn."
Posted Dec 26, 2007
 
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)73%
/
1.5/4
 
"It's ultimately less a movie than a high-gloss civics lesson."
Posted Dec 26, 2007
 
The Great Debaters (2007)80%

3.5/4
 
"It's easily Burton's best since, well, ever."
Posted Dec 21, 2007
 
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%
/
1.5/4
 
"It's not that the movie is utterly bereft of arresting moments. It's just that each of these prominently features one of the aforementioned supporting cast and not the so-called star."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Mama's Boy (2007)0%

"The Kite Runner has become that most unfortunate of awards-season Hollywood casualties: a worthy bore."
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
The Kite Runner (2007)67%

1.5/4
 
"More a collection of dubiously myth-serving, purple-hazed '60s' sketches than anything else."
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
My Dinner With Jimi (2003)n/a
/
2/4
 
"Atonement is not only too polite but maddeningly orderly, resulting in a prettily cast, professionally performed, impeccably mounted bore."
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
Atonement (2007)83%

2/4
 
"With its rushed, jargon-pumped exposition, surplus of quarter-baked characters, stray narrative strands and generously dropped hints of things possibly to come, The Golden Compass is a movie that wears its franchise ambitions on its sleeve."
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
The Golden Compass (2007)41%
/
3/4
 
"In this rippingly entertaining documentary of Reilly's celebrated autobiographical monologue Save It for the Stage, the unfailingly witty, shamelessly bitchy Reilly gets to set the record straight about a number of things."

Life of Reilly (2007)100%

"If the real-life Christmas experience tends too often to be marred by the rude contradiction between expectations and reality, movies like the ultra-bland holiday family movie This Christmas are at least partly to blame."
Posted Nov 24, 2007
 
This Christmas (2007)54%

"There's no question Baumbach has a way with words and actors (Kidman, Leigh and Jack Black are terrific)."

Margot at the Wedding (2007)51%

1/4
 
"Exuberantly bad and strenuously preposterous."

August Rush (2007)38%

3/4
 
"From the open-air stroll he took down Pennsylvania Ave. on his inauguration day, to the sunny-coloured cardigans he wore when addressing the nation, president James T. Carter always seemed like a guy who wanted people to remember he was one of them."
Posted Nov 17, 2007
 
Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)79%
/
3/4
 
"Where Casualties of War had the swooning formal elegance of an opium dream, Redacted adopts the fractured fitfulness of a seizure."
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Redacted (2007)43%

"The movie functions crackingly well as a non-fiction international thriller."
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Terror's Advocate (2007)84%
/
3/4
 
"At a time when family movies are usurped by fantasies of sentimental feelgood, Lumet's latest -- the mangled-heist melodrama Before the Devil Knows You're Dead -- delivers a swift kick straight to the jewels."
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)88%

"In movie making, as in life, it's not enough to mean well. The real challenge is in being meaningful."

Darfur Now (2007)69%

"There is much talk of paralysis in Robert Redford's what's-wrong-with-America movie Lions for Lambs, and there is a whole lot of the same in the movie itself."

Lions for Lambs (2007)28%

"P2 feels like a vehicle lost in an after-hours parking facility, constantly backing up, shifting gears and generally speeding around in circles in a vain attempt to get somewhere."

"Lars and the Real Girl remains suspended somewhere between perversity and pap, with only Gosling hinting at the mingling that might have been."

"Ridley Scott's listless Big Statement is a wheezy, hot air-inflated dud."
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
American Gangster (2007)79%

1.5/4
 
"An incomprehensible cacophony of screams, shock cuts, dour pseudo-philosophizing, heavy metal mutilation and low-rent TV-standard performances."

Saw IV (2007)19%

"Joy Division has the movie that, for better or worse, lives up to the myth."

"A movie nicely packed with pleasantly unpredictable surprises."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Dan in Real Life (2007)65%

"The major failure here is fear of the very emotions the movie purports to be about."

Reservation Road (2007)37%

3/4
 
"It's one thing for a thriller to be timely, quite another for it to function as Rendition does, a gripping piece of entertainment with a clear head on its shoulders."
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)48%
/
2/4
 
"Never settling on a consistent tone or establishing a convincing context for its central character, the movie ultimately seems to grow bored even with itself."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
American Venus (2007)n/a

3.5/4
 
"While the plot is complex in the telling, it unfolds onscreen with propulsive fascination."

Michael Clayton (2007)91%

1.5/4
 
"Everyone in this soggy tale of maternal reproductive instincts gone berserk is wisely attired in Wellingtons at one time or another, but it can't save them from sinking in the spreading sludge."

"Super '70s in both style and sensibility, Into the Wild does for vagabond New Age souls what Deliverance did for misguided suburban macho."

"Generic to the point where it might be called Sport-Themed Disney Girly Movie All Rights Reserved."

"If ever a movie was made for a quick in-and-out engagement at the multiplex, this is it."
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)22%
/
3.5/4
 
"It's a western destined to outlive the pronouncements of its own death, because it knows that death is only the first stage in the life of legend."
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)75%

"If John Woo had directed a Bugs Bunny cartoon written by the creators of South Park, the result might be something like Shoot `Em Up, but with a crucial difference: Bugs Bunny cartoons were always less than 10 minutes long."

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)66%

"Neither Odenkirk's limp direction nor SNL alumnus Will Forte's script -- not nearly clever enough to get away with its questionable gags about matters sexual and racial -- provides much by way of actual plot or comedy."
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
The Brothers Solomon (2007)16%

". At both its best and worst, it feels like the missing third part of the faux retro double-bill Grindhouse."

"While Resurrecting the Champ seems to be just what you expect, it's only when you've let your guard slip that you realize it's hiding something altogether more forceful in its glove."

"This may be one of the very few biopics in which the subject is marginalized to the point of irrelevance."
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
El Cantante (2007)24%
/
3/4
 
"Contains laughs galore, so many that the last one may get in the way of next one coming. But it's also got moments where you may want to cover your eyes to shield yourself from the sheer, wince-inducing familiarity of the behaviour on display."
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Superbad (2007)87%

1.5/4
 
"Woefully miscast as the seminal 17th-century French farceur Molière, the intense, black-maned young French movie star Romain Duris never seems more comfortable than the brief moments when he's rotting in a dank jail."

Moliere (2007)70%

"Klimt comes across as a lovely but unfathomable object, and an inadvertent case study in the argument for the ultimate integrity of Klimt's art."
