0.5/4
 
"...the comedy half doesn't work without the intrigue half, and director Mayfield doesn't look like he would know intrigue if Martin Scorsese brought it to him wrapped in butcher paper with a bow on top."
Posted Jan 5, 2007
 
Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)4%
/
2/4
 
"Its formula is so vanilla that it could be an early draft of almost any other science fiction or fantasy story."
Posted Dec 15, 2006
 
Eragon (2006)16%
/
3/4
 
"Rather than sprawling into far-reaching epic mode, this carefully contained script zooms in on one man's drive to protect his family against the backdrop of a civilization on the point of collapse."
Posted Dec 11, 2006
 
Apocalypto (2006)65%
/
2/4
 
"Hardwicke takes scripture that is at once deeply troubling ... and filled with profound hope, and renders it inert on both counts by playing things so safely that the result is almost irreverent."
Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
The Nativity Story (2006)39%
/
0.5/4
 
"I'm tired of filmmakers, screenwriters, directors and studios that believe every holiday is its own excuse for making films."
Posted Nov 22, 2006
 
Deck the Halls (2006)6%
/
2.5/4
 
"The long march across the Antarctic wasteland ... sometimes feels just as arduous as the real thing."
Posted Nov 18, 2006
 
Happy Feet (2006)74%
/
4/4
 
"When I left the theater, I got in my car, turned off my perpetually running radio, and thought for a long time before I moved. It's been a while since a film has done that."
Posted Nov 11, 2006
 
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)73%
/
3.5/4
 
"This is a stunning example of a dumb concept that an ingenuous team of screenwriters, animators and voice actors turned squarely on its head. And there's scarcely a potty joke to be found."
Posted Nov 4, 2006
 
Flushed Away (2006)73%
/
0/4
 
"It induces squirming not because the filmmakers are good at creating suspense, but because they are expert sadists with a $12 million budget."
Posted Oct 28, 2006
 
Saw III (2006)27%
/
2.5/4
 
"This film seems dangerously close to embracing the same kind of selective storytelling that it condemns."
Posted Oct 21, 2006
 
Flags of Our Fathers (2006)73%
/
2/4
 
"Shimizu has mastered the American art of pandering to a target demographic."
Posted Oct 14, 2006
 
The Grudge 2 (2006)12%
/
2.5/4
 
"At 135 minutes, I expect more than the usual trainer-turned-father-figure story."
Posted Oct 1, 2006
 
The Guardian (2006)37%
/
3.5/4
 
"Fearless is a visual juggernaut."
Posted Sep 23, 2006
 
Fearless (2006)73%
/
2/4
 
"The film misses the chance to showcase these actors with a deeper exploration of their changing relationship."
Posted Sep 16, 2006
 
Gridiron Gang (2006)43%
/
0.5/4
 
"Limitless powers, and all we get are some spiders, some Blobs, and some supernatural hair gel."
Posted Sep 9, 2006
 
The Covenant (2006)3%
/
3/4
 
"Borrows pages from Quentin Tarantino, the Atari 2600 game console, and, most of all, British action junkie Guy Ritchie, in a deliciously absurd, rollicking rampage through Los Angeles."
Posted Sep 1, 2006
 
Crank (2006)61%
/
1/4
 
"What's the point in warning of the perils of the information age by creating a scareless, formulaic film that fits so snugly into the thoughtless consumerism of the culture you're trying to criticize?"
Posted Aug 11, 2006
 
Pulse (2006)12%
/
2/4
 
"(Stettner) sets up a rule that the movie is about the psychological conditions of its characters, and what they can teach us about ourselves. He then switches games and asks us to believe the spook is its own excuse."
Posted Aug 5, 2006
 
The Night Listener (2006)41%
/
2.5/4
 
"Mann can't be faulted for his visual take on the grit and the glitter of high stakes cocaine rustling, but at 146 minutes he could have found more room for the psychological nuances..."
Posted Jul 29, 2006
 
Miami Vice (2006)48%
/
2/4
 
"Though originating as a bedtime story for his children, it functions less as a morality tale and more as an egotistical salvo toward his critics."
Posted Jul 21, 2006
 
Lady in the Water (2006)24%
/
1/4
 
"The film turns to that old reliable standard, commedia dell'gassy."
Posted Jul 14, 2006
 
Little Man (2006)13%
/
2.5/4
 
"A film teetering on the edge of importance."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Waist Deep (2006)27%
/
0.5/4
 
"As a certain tenacious rocker once intoned, you barely passed the test, Jack. You know what you got? F plus. Click."
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
Nacho Libre (2006)38%
/
4/4
 
"A uniquely American experience in a uniquely American setting ... And it's a heck of a lot of fun."
Posted Jun 12, 2006
 
Cars (2006)75%
/
1.5/4
 
"A rare category of date movie: We wish it played more like other date movies."
Posted Jun 2, 2006
 
The Break-Up (2006)34%
/
2.5/4
 
"Equal parts summer pleasure and plodding exercise in stop-and-go suspense..."
Posted May 13, 2006
 
Poseidon (2006)33%
/
1/4
 
"Unrelentingly sweet, and dull as driftwood."
Posted May 5, 2006
 
Hoot (2006)25%
/
3/4
 
"Invariably, each summer vacation movie can be judged by the quality of its obligatory gag related to going to the bathroom in the wilderness or amid the complications of foreign plumbing."
Posted Apr 28, 2006
 
RV (2006)23%
/
2/4
 
"Striking visuals tell a story where words aren't necessary ... until that turning point, when dull dialogue, a complicated plot and cheesy graphics start to muddle things."
Posted Apr 22, 2006
 
Silent Hill (2006)29%
/
2.5/4
 
"A hit-and-occasionally-miss journey."
Posted Apr 14, 2006
 
The Wild (2006)19%
/
1/4
 
"This film has no idea who it wants to reach ... you just kind of shake your head and hope the PG-13 rating will be strictly enforced."
Posted Apr 8, 2006
 
The Benchwarmers (2006)11%
/
0.5/4
 
"Whenever Larry isn't pensively biting on his chaw, he's barking out obscene one-liners in a guttural, noxious stream of little nasty explosions. He's a greasy, oil-burning joke jalopy."
Posted Mar 24, 2006
 
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)6%
/
1.5/4
 
"They've created a virus that can turn people into dogs so they will learn important life lessons."
Posted Mar 11, 2006
 
The Shaggy Dog (2006)28%
/
2/4
 
"No one expects intense character development from a tale aimed at the youngest of youngsters ... but parents who take their kids will grow bored with the lack of dimension."
Posted Feb 24, 2006
 
Doogal (2006)7%

0/4
 
"Cat flatulence, worn-out jokes about Jennifer Lopez's anatomy ... did I say there was a movie here?"
Posted Feb 20, 2006
 
Date Movie (2006)6%

3.5/4
 
"A poetic, fluid painting..."
Posted Feb 13, 2006
 
The New World (2005)60%
/
0.5/4
 
"I suppose bloodlust is enough excuse for anyone willing to endure 105 minutes of monster derby, but really: Who are these characters?"
Posted Jan 20, 2006
 
Underworld: Evolution (2006)14%
/
2.5/4
 
"The Edwards show immense creative potential; they just didn't find it all in this particular forest."
Posted Jan 14, 2006
 
Hoodwinked (2006)48%
/
3.5/4
 
"A steady, grueling, suspenseful march to a raucous finish that is likely to give it a devoted cult following."
Posted Jan 7, 2006
 
Hostel (2006)58%
/
3/4
 
"This year's lump of cinematic coal has a diamond blazing inside."
Posted Dec 16, 2005
 
The Family Stone (2005)53%
/
2/4
 
"The plots are not so much carefully interwoven as they are frantically blended, like a dubious cocktail whose true ingredients the bartender would like to hide."
Posted Dec 9, 2005
 
Syriana (2005)75%
/
3/4
 
"Aeon Flux isn't about how cool or weird or geeky it can be, but about the potential endgame of a contemporary social debate, and that is its best asset."
Posted Dec 3, 2005
 
Aeon Flux (2005)11%
/
2.5/4
 
"In a stagy way, Chris Columbus' adaptation captures this Generation-X attitude toward relationships with pinpoint accuracy -- even if it captures little raw emotion."
Posted Nov 23, 2005
 
Rent (2005)48%
/
3.5/4
 
"Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon should go on tour."
Posted Nov 18, 2005
 
Walk the Line (2005)83%

"...Too few answers as to how 50 Cent became who he is."
Posted Nov 14, 2005
 
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)17%
/
2/4
 
"An overproduced yarn that, at more than two hours, leaves Antonio Banderas looking a little bored in his boots."
Posted Oct 28, 2005
 
The Legend of Zorro (2005)25%
/
2.5/4
 
"Was the conclusion unforeseen? Definitely. Did it make me think about or learn something about the human condition? Not really."
Posted Oct 21, 2005
 
Stay (2005)26%
/
4/4
 
"A tense, tight and pithy thriller with such superb restraint that almost every detail matters -- and therefore shouldn’t be spoiled."
Posted Oct 14, 2005
 
A History of Violence (2005)87%
/
2.5/4
 
"Not razor-sharp with its satire of the corporate restaurant culture as Office Space was with corporate office culture."
Posted Oct 8, 2005
 
Waiting... (2005)31%
/
2/4
 
"The film’s ethos clashes with Jessica Alba’s tan lines and loses the battle."
