	"[Chabrol] deliberately uses ambiguity which draws the viewer into considering the psychological complexities of the characters. He never patronizes his audience by spelling out and laboring the obvious." -- culturevulture.net Posted Aug 10, 2006	The Bridesmaid (2006)	90%
	"Woody-ultralite" -- culturevulture.net Posted Aug 10, 2006	Scoop (2006)	37%
	"It is the fashionista ethic, as embodied in the Priestly character, that keeps 'The Devil Wears Prada' fascinating--like turning over a rock and watching the worms crawling about underneath." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 29, 2006	The Devil Wears Prada (2006)	76%
	"Worth a look, especially for the sheer enjoyment of watching Streep and Tomlin do their schtick, but the film is, at best, Altman lite." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 8, 2006	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	80%
	"Delivers a cogent, well-told story, with a bit of social significance underpinning, plus a series of sequences that should satisfy the action fans." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 1, 2006	District B13 (2006)	80%
	"The single admirable attribute of 'Mission: Impossible III' is the technical expertise that goes into the making of the action sequences. Aside from that, [it's] ordinary and forgettable." -- culturevulture.net Posted May 7, 2006	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	70%
	"Classical Broadway style, crisply directed, every element calculated to bring out the best of the performer at the peak of her powers." -- culturevulture.net Posted Apr 1, 2006	Liza With a "Z" (1972)	n/a
	"Eckhart demonstrates genuine comic talent here, drawing laughs with a sharp satirical edge that Reitman's script and direction keep spot on." -- culturevulture.net Posted Mar 23, 2006	Thank You For Smoking (2006)	86%
	"There are some genuinely moving moments in [the] latter part of the film, but the inconsistencies and the overwrought structure of the screenplay seriously dilute the overall effectiveness of 'Journey from the Fall.'" -- culturevulture.net Posted Mar 21, 2006	Journey From The Fall (2007)	92%
	"A well-acted melodrama with some engaging characters and a storyline that holds the attention" -- culturevulture.net Posted Mar 16, 2006	Don't Tell (2005)	29%
	"Tend[s] to remain at a rather mundane level; they don't get past the obvious, to possibly more profound reflections on Bruce's situation." -- culturevulture.net Posted Feb 23, 2006	Unknown White Male (2005)	73%
	"Moore and Jackson are in top form and hold the attention throughout. They make you wish that 'Freedomland' had a tighter screenplay." -- culturevulture.net Posted Feb 16, 2006	Freedomland (2005)	23%
	"Blithe, brisk, and bouncy" -- culturevulture.net Posted Feb 3, 2006	Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006)	91%
	"Without an incisive satirical tone and with the shift of both period and location, 'A Good Woman' loses its bite." -- culturevulture.net Posted Feb 2, 2006	A Good Woman (2005)	39%
	"Spielberg is at his best in 'Munich,' demonstrating once again his unique talent for filmic storytelling." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jan 2, 2006	Munich (2005)	77%
	"Taking the traditional thriller genre and retaining its quality of gripping suspense, Haneke subverts it into a trenchant commentary on the seemingly irresolvable malignant conflicts of our time." -- culturevulture.net Posted Dec 29, 2005	Cach� (2005)	88%
	"An opportunity missed for an entertainment of more substance, but Frears keeps it light and Dench keeps it afloat for a charming and stylish, if essentially forgettable, excursion into British nostalgia." -- culturevulture.net Posted Dec 22, 2005	Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)	65%
	"Anchored by the performances of the two leads, the power of 'Brokeback Mountain' is retained despite the film's unneccesary bloat, convincing in its tale of love and the severe penalties imposed by societal homphobia." -- culturevulture.net Posted Dec 11, 2005	Brokeback Mountain (2005)	87%
	"The birds...are a natural subject for a documentary film, but in the end Judy Irving's film is as much or more about Mark Bittner, a self-appointed guardian of the flock, than it is about the birds themselves." -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 26, 2005	Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2005)	95%
	"The various storylines are hard to follow.., the narrative momentum dissolves in the confusion, and the multiplicity of characters means that none of them...is more than two dimensional." -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 23, 2005	Syriana (2005)	75%
	"Carefully balanced on a fine line that encompasses both gentle humor and spiritual wisdom, 'Ushpizin' draws the audience into its exotic world and shares its universality." -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 19, 2005	Ushpizin (2005)	93%
	"The film is visualized in such a straightforward manner that it feels as if it could have been made in 1950. There's not a moment of freshly imaginative or unconventional footage. " -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 17, 2005	Walk the Line (2005)	83%
	"Visually arresting and dramatically effective, freshly capturing the many virtues of the novel " -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 10, 2005	Pride and Prejudice (2005)	85%
	"Antonioni's is a bleak, existential take on life, but...the sheer artistry of the director's technique make[s] for an exhilarating film experience." -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 7, 2005	The Passenger (1975)	91%
	"Stylistically stunning and performed with conviction, 'Jarhead,' nonetheless, leaves the viewer emotionally unconnected." -- culturevulture.net Posted Nov 3, 2005	Jarhead (2005)	60%
	"A pleasing balance between romantic moments...and humor-focused scenes that feel fresh, even if often treading on familiar territory" -- culturevulture.net Posted Oct 27, 2005	Prime (2005)	49%
	"A self-reflexive, raunchy, witty and irreverent movie, bound to please all but the most straitlaced audiences" -- culturevulture.net Posted Oct 27, 2005	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	83%
	"Despite its flaws, 'North Country' delivers a story worth hearing, a documentation of profound unfairness and the need to challenge abusive behaviors." -- culturevulture.net Posted Oct 19, 2005	North Country (2005)	68%
	"A smart, pointed, timely and superbly realized biopic" -- culturevulture.net Posted Oct 6, 2005	Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)	94%
	"An incisively penetrating character study of the writer" -- culturevulture.net Posted Sep 29, 2005	Capote (2005)	91%
	"Examines [violence] with thoughtful intelligence, delivering a riveting and insightful narrative which builds in momentum from start to finish " -- culturevulture.net Posted Sep 22, 2005	A History of Violence (2005)	87%
	"Something went terribly wrong here and one of the fine theatrical experiences of recent years turns into celluloid dross." -- culturevulture.net Posted Sep 15, 2005	Proof (2005)	64%
	"Stunning cinematography...propulsive narrative momentum and solid characterizations " -- culturevulture.net Posted Aug 30, 2005	The Constant Gardener (2005)	84%
	"It is not sufficient as pure storytelling to sustain interest...feels hollow at the center--lacking in any payoff, from an entertainment or from a thematic point of view." -- culturevulture.net Posted Aug 17, 2005	Asylum (2005)	37%
	"No one else making films today..surveys the landscape of the heart with the sensitivity, delicacy, and depth that Wong brings to 2046." -- culturevulture.net Posted Aug 11, 2005	2046 (2005)	84%
	"Has a good deal of off-handed charm and enough satirical moments..to sustain interest, but it's no more than Don Juan Lite, offering a veneer of profundity, lacking in payoff." -- culturevulture.net Posted Aug 4, 2005	Broken Flowers (2005)	86%
	"The comedy is feather-light and the emotions are drawn on situation, rather than on genuine involvement with substantively developed characters." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jul 24, 2005	Nina's Tragedies (2005)	61%
	"Slick entertainment for those satisfied by the well-established genre of mindless summer movies. " -- culturevulture.net Posted Jul 21, 2005	The Island (2005)	40%
	"Bergman perceptively observes the subtleties of family psychology and creates dialogue that reveals complexities of character and relationships with riveting accuracy." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jul 15, 2005	Saraband (2005)	93%
	"The film succeeds...in fleshing out the central characters, lending credence to their personal experience of historically sweeping events" -- culturevulture.net Posted Jul 10, 2005	Machuca (2005)	89%
	"Not likely to engender an emotional response, so much as a thoughtful, dispassionate one." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jul 3, 2005	The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005)	85%
	"July's fertile imagination fills [the film] with incidents, many of which are charming and perceptive, some of which fall embarassingly flat." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 27, 2005	Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)	83%
	"Weighted down by a plot-heavy and predictable narrative, heavily dependent upon coincidence...sinks into a mire of uninteresting soapiness" -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 21, 2005	Heights (2005)	65%
	"Aims for mythical grandeur, underlined leadenly by a pseudo-Wagnerian orchestral score, only to become mired in pretension to Jungian psychological veracity" -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 14, 2005	Batman Begins (2005)	84%
	"a wealth of incident and detail...that actualizes a multi-leveled view of both the characters and the dynamics of their relationships." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 9, 2005	5X2 (2005)	64%
	"Evokes the feel and the sensibility of the New Wave while retaining a decidedly contemporary tone." -- culturevulture.net Posted Jun 9, 2005	A Tout de Suite (2005)	70%
	"As warm as her approach is to these people..., Bier never descends into cheap sentiment or soap opera simplicities." -- culturevulture.net Posted May 18, 2005	Brothers (2005)	89%
	"It would be easy to carp over the shortcomings of the film...The charm and ebullience of the kids...make the film work...Nobody walks out at the end without a great big smile." -- culturevulture.net Posted May 14, 2005	Mad Hot Ballroom (2005)	83%
	"Contemporary urban anxieties, conflict and dysfunction in film terms that vary from Keystone Cops chases to...magical realism to the edginess of classic thriller suspense." -- culturevulture.net Posted May 10, 2005	Kontroll (2005)	81%
	"The straddling of styles [realism vs. fable] weakens, but doesn't destroy a strong film." -- culturevulture.net Posted May 5, 2005	Crash (2005)	75%
