4/5	"You'll find yourself rooting for computer-generated robots that magically transform into cars, trucks and fighter planes. It's selling the movie short to say the special effects are amazing -- they are out of this world." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jul 2, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
4.5/5	"Like the burbling soup that plays a key part in Ratatouille, the movie is a delectable blend of ingredients that tickles the palette and leaves you hungry for more." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 28, 2007	Ratatouille (2007)	95%
5/5	"A compelling, tear-jerking look at a vital piece of our infrastructure gone awry." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 28, 2007	Sicko (2007)	93%
3.5/5	"Director Len Wiseman never lets the movie slow down enough for us to think about what's happening. And he gives us some amusing things to keep us occupied, including one particularly fitting cameo." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 26, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
3.5	"The only drama comes in the waiting, which eventually becomes tiresome." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 23, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
3.5/5	"Somehow this boat floats along, a lasting tribute to lightweight construction." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 21, 2007	Evan Almighty (2007)	23%
4/5	"The story features some surprises, and director Mikael H�fstr�m adds realism by bypassing computer graphics for practical effects. Add in the natural fear of being trapped in tight spaces and you have a can't-miss formula for horror and suspense." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 21, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
3/5	"Every bit as puzzling as its predecessor, but it's shot in such a bold, crazy way that you have to admire its pure audacity." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 14, 2007	Day Watch (2007)	64%
3/5	"Nancy Drew is a lark but nothing more, asking little from the audience while it flits from scene to scene." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 14, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
2/5	"Beyond a few good special-effects sequences - notably the Human Torch chasing the Silver Surfer between skyscrapers, the movie is uniformly vanilla. When the heroes aren't polishing their super-skills, they sit around and complain about their lot in life." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 14, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
3/5	"*The frustration here is that none of this leads anywhere. Perhaps that is the point, that some mysteries are never solved, but Jindabyne* could give us a little more to work with.*" -- Arizona Republic* Posted Jun 7, 2007	Jindabyne (2007)	66%
2.5/5	"From the nondescript voices to routine animation to an over-written story, this movie spends much of its time gasping for air." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 7, 2007	Surf's Up (2007)	78%
3.5/5	"A sequel (or three-quel, if you will) that returns to the vicarious fun of the first movie, Ocean's Eleven, and all but erases the not-so-fond memory of the preening ego-trip that was Ocean's Twelve." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 7, 2007	Ocean's Thirteen (2007)	70%
4/5	"Given [director] Carney's roughshod methods, Once never resembles a standard studio offering, which works much to its benefit. Between Carney's unadorned writing and his rustic directing approach, Once always remains grounded in reality." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jun 2, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
4/5	"[Costner] gives one of the best performances of his career." -- Arizona Republic Posted May 31, 2007	Mr. Brooks (2007)	56%
3.5/5	"It would be easy to dismiss this drama about a high school girl who goes out for the boys' soccer team as something we've all seen before. But that would be ignoring the movie's plucky appeal." -- Arizona Republic Posted May 31, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%
3.5/5	"The comedy often feels like voyeurism -- a bunch of really funny guys (and girls) invited us over to hang out with them for the weekend." -- Arizona Republic Posted May 31, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
3.5/5	"*Although Bug* is inconsistent and grows too violent by the end, there's one thing it's not: the same old stuff.*" -- Arizona Republic* Posted May 25, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
3/5	"At World's End includes a whole lot of chitchat, as the characters strain to explain this overplotted extravaganza. Sure, the pirates need reasons to swing swords at each other, but do they really need this many?" -- Arizona Republic Posted May 24, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
3.5/5	"Humanizes the Iranians and shows that they're just as crazy about their sports as Westerners, if not more. If anything, it proves that soccer is truly an international language, providing an arena where anyone can communicate." -- Arizona Republic Posted May 18, 2007	Offside (2006)	95%
3/5	"At least this sequel finally establishes how many licks it takes to finish off a popular fairy tale spoof. Three." -- Arizona Republic Posted May 17, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
3/5	"*If you're looking for Braff's most average movie to date, The Ex* marks the spot.*" -- Arizona Republic* Posted May 10, 2007	The Ex (2007)	19%
2/5	"So not only is The Last Mimzy saving the environment but also making a statement on government intrusion into private lives. It's clear director Robert Shaye has an agenda, and it tends to step on the rest of his movie." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 23, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
2/5	"Begins with a semblance of rationality, then flies off the rails, plunging into a series of bloody shootouts and pointless explosions." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 22, 2007	Shooter (2007)	47%
2.5/5	"Manipulative rather than inspirational and hackneyed rather than original." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 22, 2007	Pride (2007)	46%
4/5	"Although all the talk is about Sandler's performance, Cheadle's is every bit as good. He has a much tougher job, playing straight man to Sandler's semicraziness." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 22, 2007	Reign Over Me (2007)	64%
2.5/5	"*In Premonition, Sandra Bullock plays a woman going through a horrifying experience. She keeps waking up in this movie." -- Arizona Republic* Posted Mar 15, 2007	Premonition (2007)	8%
3.5/5	"In creating the ultimate movie for sword-and-sandal blood-spatter fetishists, director Zack Snyder scores on the spectacle side -- 300 looks amazing -- but his mechanical story line and over-the-top melodramatics don't support the action." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 8, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
3/5	"*I saw something, but I'm not exactly sure what it was. One thing's likely: You've never seen a film like Black Snake Moan, and you won't see anything like it in the near future." -- Arizona Republic* Posted Mar 1, 2007	Black Snake Moan (2007)	66%
4/5	"The movie is more about what happens between the battles than during them. It's the plight of the men, fighting for an army that considers them second-class citizens, that raises Days of Glory above your average war movie." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 1, 2007	Days of Glory (2006)	82%
3.5/5	"Fincher leads us down little dark alleys and side streets, and we're never quite sure who might jump out to be the killer. After three decades, details of the case have faded from public consciousness, so the movie is surprising at times." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 1, 2007	Zodiac (2007)	89%
1.5/5	"Never fails to take the low road. It's a waste of celluloid, filled with potty humor, gay jokes and the unfortunate transformation of real actor William H. Macy into a living crash-test dummy." -- Arizona Republic Posted Mar 1, 2007	Wild Hogs (2007)	15%
2.5/5	"It's impossible to take The Astronaut Farmer seriously on a literal or dramatic level if the ending's never in doubt. In the back of our minds, we have an idea where things will end up, so most of the movie is a waiting game." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 23, 2007	The Astronaut Farmer (2007)	58%
3.5/5	"There's no way to not like [John] Dau. Or for that matter, God Grew Tired of Us." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 22, 2007	God Grew Tired of Us (2007)	91%
2/5	"Not only does the film have no sense of story, it has little sense of itself, including a long postscript just to untangle the knots." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 22, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%
2.5/5	"*With its overwritten, every-hair-in-place script, Breaking and Entering* robs itself of reality.*" -- Arizona Republic* Posted Feb 15, 2007	Breaking and Entering (2007)	34%
2/5	"Director George Hickenlooper incessantly switches between black-and-white, grained-out, color-saturated, handheld and fuzzy shots. He's not so much making a movie as an audition tape for the cameraman's guild." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 15, 2007	Factory Girl (2007)	19%
4/5	"Because this espionage thriller is based on true events, it's a given that the bad guy will be caught. But [director] Ray builds an intriguing maze around the how, seen through the eyes of the audience's proxy, a young FBI man sent to spy on a colleague." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 15, 2007	Breach (2007)	84%
3.5/5	"Music and Lyrics will make you want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 13, 2007	Music and Lyrics (2007)	63%
3/5	"*The movie succeeds on some level, but the series has definitely begun to eat its own with Hannibal Rising." -- Arizona Republic* Posted Feb 8, 2007	Hannibal Rising (2007)	15%
1/5	"The narration, intrusive and often unneeded, is interrupted by long sequences without dialogue." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 1, 2007	Constellation (2007)	0%
2/5	"Because I Said So is a movie about people we don't like doing things no one would ever do." -- Arizona Republic Posted Feb 1, 2007	Because I Said So (2007)	5%
4/5	"With his intelligent and soulful performance, O'Toole reminds us exactly why he has been nominated for eight Oscars." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jan 26, 2007	Venus (2006)	89%
3/5	"Smokin Aces achieves a level of vicarious thrill, but it's all peaks and valleys, with lows that are too low and highs that are too high." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jan 25, 2007	Smokin' Aces (2007)	27%
1.5/5	"**Catch & Release? Nah. Try Net & Forget.*" -- Arizona Republic* Posted Jan 25, 2007	Catch and Release (2007)	23%
4.5/5	"In coming up with one of the finest modern fantasies to date, del Toro seamlessly blends two stories, one set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and the other in a parallel realm of fairies and fauns." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jan 18, 2007	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
4.5/5	"[This] absorbing and thoughtful take on the plight of the trapped, desperate and suicidal Japanese troops, outstrips its companion piece. That's not a statement on patriotism; it addresses the nature of Eastwood's approach and basic human nature." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jan 11, 2007	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	91%
2/5	"There's no time to sort out the players or the story as things rush ahead at an overwrought pace. Huge amounts of backstory are just plopped down in front of us, so fast and furiously that it makes little sense." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jan 11, 2007	Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)	20%
2.5/5	"*Among the many movies about the California drug scene and lowlife, youthful wannabe thugs, Alpha Dog* is far from the leader of the pack.*" -- Arizona Republic* Posted Jan 11, 2007	Alpha Dog (2007)	55%
3.5/4	"The movie serves as a convenient locale for Dench and Blanchett to showcase their abilities, but it could be more involving." -- Arizona Republic Posted Jan 4, 2007	Notes on a Scandal (2006)	87%
