C-	"Eragon's mythic journey to discover the truth behind his heritage and battle evil hews so closely to the story lines of other famous fantasy epics that it's hard to believe there aren't a few lawsuits in the works." Posted Dec 15, 2006	Eragon (2006)	16%

	"Charming but overly long, a pleasant, smile-producing movie reminiscent of doing a jigsaw puzzle at a rented beach cottage on a rainy day." Posted Sep 17, 2004	Seducing Dr. Lewis (2004)	68%
B+	"The scenes of Peter and Santino's adjustment to life in Houston -- a garbage disposal does what? -- are at once quotidian, poignant and absurd." Posted Sep 17, 2004	Lost Boys of Sudan (2004)	96%

	"*L.A. looks hip in its lemonade light, and the low-budget Ocean's Eleven* attitude gives Criminal a certain down-and-out swing.*" Posted Sep 10, 2004*	Criminal (2004)	69%
	"The movie has more flawed logic, lame coincidences and plot holes than the average cell phone has ring tones." Posted Sep 10, 2004	Cellular (2004)	53%
B	"A lively retelling of William Makepeace Thackeray's classic tale." Posted Sep 3, 2004	Vanity Fair (2004)	50%

C+	"It's not particularly ingenuous, the acting is only serviceable, the killer snakes have adapted most of their scariest riffs from the star of Jaws, but it's a species of low-grade fun that really does appeal to the whole family."

B-	"Given the fact that it's August, you could do worse than hide out from the heat with the cute-as-a-bug Murphy, who manages to be funny and entertaining despite the material." Posted Aug 6, 2004	Little Black Book (2004)	23%
A	"Some Kind of Monster is some weird kind of wonderful." Posted Jul 30, 2004	Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004)	87%

D	"Nothing more than an extended skit, and a lame one at that." Posted Jul 9, 2004	Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)	64%

D	"So god-awful it falls into the category of needing to be seen to be believed." Posted Jun 11, 2004	The Stepford Wives (2004)	26%
B+	"At long last, here is a film where the computer-generated imagery actually serves the magic rather than being the magic." Posted Jun 4, 2004	Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)	89%
A	"It's the rare chance to glimpse the doodles of an auteur." Posted May 28, 2004	Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)	63%

A-	"*The truth is, the delicious fun (forgive me) of Super Size Me* resides in watching the lanky, affable Spurlock get intentionally fat.*" Posted May 14, 2004*	Super Size Me (2004)	93%
C+	"The first hour of this unnecessarily long tale is rough sledding." Posted May 14, 2004	Troy (2004)	55%

	"Packed with enough trenchant observations of teen life to make you laugh and wince in equal measure." Posted Apr 30, 2004	Mean Girls (2004)	85%
	"The larger question is not whether these two will wind up together, but rather, if the filmmakers wanted to make a teen movie, why didn't they use real teenagers?" Posted Apr 30, 2004	Laws of Attraction (2004)	18%
C	"If you need a Denzel-fix, Washington's got some piquant assassin-at-work scenes; otherwise the movie never rises above a slow boil." Posted Apr 26, 2004	Man on Fire (2004)	39%

A	"While Tarantino's famous fight sequences are grisly, funny and genuinely entertaining, his love scenes are so tender, so fraught, you fear for the safety of your own heart." Posted Apr 16, 2004	Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)	85%
	"Worth remembering." Posted Apr 9, 2004	The Alamo (2004)	30%
