2.5/4	"With crisp images and depth that makes you feel you could reach out and stick your hand into the middle of the action, the movie projected in digital 3-D form actually makes that theme-park ride kind of fun." -- Associated Press Posted Jul 11, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	60%
	"Barbershop is a cozy place to hang out for a while, even if you don't need a little off the sides." -- Associated Press Posted Mar 18, 2008	Barbershop (2002)	83%
	"No offense intended, but a pig snout is very becoming on Christina Ricci." -- Associated Press Posted Feb 27, 2008	Penelope (2008)	52%
	"The Spiderwick Chronicles may not be in the same fantasy league as the tales of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling. Yet the family flick based on the books of Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black is an all-around class act." -- Associated Press Posted Feb 13, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%

	"The action sequences are so turgid it's sometimes hard to tell which 'bot is doing what, but with Bay steadily hurling fireworks you won't really pause much to think about that, or about how truly inane the story is." -- Associated Press Posted Jul 11, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
	"For a pure summer power trip, it's a decent throwback to the pure-brawn heyday of Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, an agreeable respite from today's cartoonlike ballets of computer-generated action." -- Associated Press Posted Jun 25, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
	"1408 generally survives and thrives on the strength of John Cusack's passionate performance as a skeptic of the supernatural who learns that spooks may be real, plus a spirited supporting role by Samuel L. Jackson and some effective chills." -- Associated Press Posted Jun 19, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
	"What you get from Hot Fuzz is what you rarely see from Hollywood: Something genuinely smart and silly at the same time, a film and filmmakers that respect their characters, their audience and the genre at which they lovingly poke fun." -- Associated Press Posted Apr 16, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
	"The film is a timely reminder that even the savviest and most skeptical audience can get snookered by the natural desire for a great story." -- Associated Press Posted Apr 4, 2007	The Hoax (2007)	85%
	"[The film] has enough buoyancy to remain afloat, though without the vigor of Terrence Howard and the charm of Bernie Mac, it likely would sink in its own sea of clich�s." -- Associated Press Posted Mar 20, 2007	Pride (2007)	46%
	"A quiet powerhouse of a film, an implacable, uncompromising French police drama, both old-fashioned and modern, that underlines the reasons impeccably made crime stories do so well on-screen." -- Associated Press Posted Mar 16, 2007	Le Petit Lieutenant (2006)	79%
	"An unusually smart, tense and engaging film amid the usual dreck that lands in theaters this time of year." -- Associated Press Posted Feb 14, 2007	Breach (2007)	84%

	"It's definitely worth setting aside your urge for lightweight escapism and diving into this heavy, provocative tale, set so closely to our times and so recognizably an extension of our world that it offers an intriguing chance for reflection." -- Associated Press Posted Dec 26, 2006	Children of Men (2006)	92%

	"Slight and wispy, it�s a film that could only work with the gracious presence of someone like Morgan Freeman , who delivers an amiably laid-back performance." -- Associated Press Posted Nov 28, 2006	10 Items or Less (2006)	62%
