Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
4/5	"a gripping tale that raises troubling questions about the nature of art and our voyeuristic society." Posted May 17, 2008	A Necessary Death (2008)	100%
3.5/5	"What it sets out to do, and effectively so, is to wring some giggles out of the insecurities we all feel on that first day of school." Posted Mar 20, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
2/5	"about as slow and lumbering as a wounded manuk." Posted Mar 6, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
1.5/5	"bland and forgettable." Posted Dec 29, 2007	Illegal Tender (2007)	13%
3.5/5	"though a little too pat in its conclusion, the journey it takes to get there is no less entertaining." Posted Dec 13, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
1/5	"without even a hint of irony, fun, thrills, imagination, or anything else approaching entertainment" Posted Sep 16, 2007	H.G. Wells' The Food of the Gods (1976)	20%
3.5/5	"feels like a British attempt to pull off American humor -- broad versus dry. And while it doesn't always work, it makes for an interesting take on a familiar dish." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	62%
3.5/5	"shines a light on one of the most pervasive (and potentially disastrous) problems affecting our society today" Posted Jun 17, 2007	Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2007)	88%
2/5	"If the protagonist of Next were to use his ability to peer two minutes into the future before watching Next, he'd probably have enough to go on to skip it altogether." Posted Apr 26, 2007	Next (2007)	29%
3.5/5	"It may seem like faint praise to deem Blades of Glory par for the course, but when the par is that funny, it's no mean feat." Posted Mar 29, 2007	Blades of Glory (2007)	69%
1/5	"moments meant to instill fear either evoke boredom or, more often, the giggles" Posted Feb 22, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%
3/5	"lacks a visual stamp... and a point of view" Posted Nov 30, 2006	The Nativity Story (2006)	39%
4/5	"proof positive that neither Scorsese nor Nicholson have lost their touch." Posted Oct 5, 2006	The Departed (2006)	92%
4/5	"The Descent is probably best seen at a midnight screening with a gaggle of like-minded horror junkies. The screams (and there will be screams) will be much louder then." Posted Aug 6, 2006	The Descent (2006)	85%
3.5/5	"not without its magical moments, but you really have to want them." Posted Jul 22, 2006	Lady in the Water (2006)	24%
2.5/5	"If I were sending letters back in time to someone advising them on which films to skip, I'd probably forget to even mention this." Posted Jun 15, 2006	The Lake House (2006)	36%
2.5/5	"Our guides on this route, while not as cheesy as their antecedents, certainly seem more soulless." Posted May 11, 2006	Poseidon (2006)	33%
3/5	"genuinely clunky" Posted Feb 23, 2006	Running Scared (2006)	40%
2/5	"gives us a main character whose relationship to his family is so generic as to be negligible, a threat so mild that the bad guy is crueler to his henchmen than to his victims, and a crime so petty-yet-lucrative that we wish we'd thought of it ourselves" Posted Feb 9, 2006	Firewall (2006)	19%
5/5	"A work of universal substance, earning its heartbreak every step of the way." Posted Dec 1, 2005	Brokeback Mountain (2005)	87%
4.5/5	"does for the action genre what Scream did for the slasher flick." Posted Oct 20, 2005	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	83%
1.5/5	"annoys, disappoints, and reminds the viewer of far better films" Posted Oct 13, 2005	Domino (2005)	19%
3/5	"doesn�t fully mine the modern fear of post-9/11 air travel" Posted Aug 18, 2005	Red Eye (2005)	78%
4.5/5	"depicts the hope that comes from challenging those notions in a very unsentimental, yet moving, way" Posted Jul 7, 2005	Murderball (2005)	98%
4/5	"riveting" Posted Jul 7, 2005	Cronicas (2005)	72%

3/5	"lacks the tension that marks a movie like Spellbound" Posted May 11, 2005	Mad Hot Ballroom (2005)	83%
3.5/5	"If you were to saddle Garden State with a far less likeable lead and set it in Indiana, you might end up with this small gem" Posted Apr 20, 2005	Lonesome Jim (2006)	58%
4.5/5	"What can you say about a movie that has not one, not two, but three scenes of improvised oral surgery?" Posted Apr 16, 2005	Oldboy (2005)	82%
4/5	"a must for those who like their tough talk delivered with an English accent" Posted Apr 15, 2005	Layer Cake (2005)	80%
2/5	"cute but ultimately meaningless" Posted Feb 11, 2005	Bride and Prejudice (2005)	66%
3.5/5	"Nakadai�s performance as Kagemusha and Shingen is impressive, creating two distinct characters, one of whom eerily mimics the other" Posted Jan 26, 2005	Kagemusha (1980)	80%
2.5/5	Click here to read article Posted Jan 15, 2005	Stander (2004)	73%
3.5/5	"The story here is stronger than the actual screenplay, which is too bad, since this is a tale that deserves to be told with as much impact as possible" Posted Dec 20, 2004	Hotel Rwanda (2004)	92%
3/5	"As funny as it may have seemed at the time, Martin Scorsese should never, ever try to talk hip-hop. Ever." Posted Sep 29, 2004	Shark Tale (2004)	34%
3/5	"Andy�s actions suggest a complicated personality, but the half-assed backstory he feeds Martin does little to bring that persona into any sort of sharp relief." Posted Sep 16, 2004	Proof (1991)	90%
4/5	"a fine example of the fugitives-on-the-run genre, holding its own alongside Thelma and Louise, Bandits, The Defiant Ones, and to a lesser extent Badlands and Bonnie and Clyde" Posted Aug 18, 2004	The Sugarland Express (1974)	92%
3.5/5	"In spite of a somewhat disappointing conclusion, Collateral still delivers on several levels." Posted Aug 4, 2004	Collateral (2004)	86%
4/5	"The results may not be coherent, or even consistent, but they are often hilarious." Posted Jul 7, 2004	Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)	64%
1.5/5	"the unoriginal presentation, which often favors hitting us over the head when restraint would be far more enticing, leaves much to be desired" Posted Jun 16, 2004	To End All Wars (2001)	64%
3.5/5	"if not a necessary sequel, certainly a welcome one" Posted May 18, 2004	Shrek 2 (2004)	89%
4.5/5	"I haven't touched a Big Mac since." Posted May 5, 2004	Super Size Me (2004)	93%
1/5	"What we need now is a spray that eradicates bad movies. I think I�ll call it Crappy Film Be-Gone. Wanna invest?" Posted Apr 29, 2004	Envy (2004)	6%
3.5/5	"falls into the category of teen fare that�s better than you�d expect" Posted Apr 28, 2004	Mean Girls (2004)	85%
