/
3/5
 
"There is a real delight in the art of action cinema at work here, and the enormous satisfaction of being in a darkened room with someone you know can really kick butt."
Posted May 18, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%
/
3/5
 
"His assembly of the material and the protagonists is impressive, but you are left to wonder about his ultimate aim and point of view."
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Standard Operating Procedure (2008)78%

"Although the subject matter may not seem obviously appealing, it’s amazing what finely attuned directorial talent, script-writing finesse and superlative acting can achieve."
Posted Feb 6, 2008
 
When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)74%
/
 
"Handsomely shot and astutely cast, My Brother Is an Only Child should achieve the same attention and success accorded to The Best of Youth, whose scriptwriters worked with Luchetti on this one."
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
My Brother is an Only Child (2006)85%
/
 
"The moral dilemmas marshalled by Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky prove absolutely gripping, and the whole film is alive with style and intelligence."
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
The Counterfeiters (2008)94%
/
 
"By turns lyrical, serious, funny and acerbic, Persepolis raises the bar for animation and illustrates the true power of storytelling in illuminating the world and its conflicts."
Posted Dec 12, 2007
 
Persepolis (2007)96%
/
 
"A pertinent exploration of the relationship between celebrities and their fans in a fame-obsessed world."

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)94%
/
 
"With a madcap script by Dylan Haggerty and a bubbly and inventive performance from Anna Faris, as well as a succinct running time, Smiley Face manages to sustain itself, and only the hard-hearted and humorless would feel that it overstays its welcome."
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Smiley Face (2007)67%
/
 
"With stunning landscapes around the Tex-Mex border shot by Roger Deakins and the elements of pursuit and retribution, the saga draws from the Western tradition in which the characters become dwarfed by nature."
Posted Nov 9, 2007

/
3/5
 
"The Farrellys are well-served by an energetic cast who enters into the spirit of the enterprise with unadulterated gusto."
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)29%
/
 
"Shot in August of 2006, the film’s spare narrative is free of psychology and histrionics."
Posted Aug 30, 2007
 
Chop Shop (2007)95%
/
3/5
 
"Distinguished by its close connection to its subjects, coupled with unexpected flashes of irreverent humor, the film is as emotionally charged as the music it celebrates, which has been cited as an influence by everyone from Nine Inch Nails to U2."
Posted Aug 30, 2007
 
Control (2007)88%
/
 
"Van Sant’s belief that all teenagers at that age are 'acting to a certain extent' lends the film its edge of raw authenticity."
Posted Aug 30, 2007
 
Paranoid Park (2008)74%
/
4/5
 
"A film that has heart and integrity, providing insight into a wrenching dilemma that no headline news reportage could ever achieve."
Posted Jun 22, 2007
 
A Mighty Heart (2007)77%
/
3/5
 
"A scathing indictment of a system in disarray and provides a heartfelt portrait of the resilience of the human spirit, struggling in the face of injustice and genuinely overwhelming odds."
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
The Trials of Darryl Hunt (2007)100%
/
4/5
 
"It’s not often that the third in any franchise lives up to the reputation of its predecessors. Here Steven Soderbergh pulls it off by trumping the lackluster number two in the series and returning to the upbeat ambience and freshness of the first one."
Posted Jun 7, 2007
 
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%
/
4/5
 
"Moore, despite all the accusations of manipulation and economies with the truth, is hard to resist and few others would be prepared to put themselves so firmly in the firing line in such a doggedly determined way."
Posted Jun 1, 2007
 
Sicko (2007)93%
/
4/5
 
"With the clutch of strong performances, its stunning visual style and the accessibility of its English-language script, Wong should find a whole new set of admirers for his plaintive meditation -- provided audiences still are in the mood for love."
Posted May 24, 2007
 
My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%
/
3/5
 
"Malkovich relishes the character quirks in a performance that pulls out all the stops and pushes every button."
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Color Me Kubrick (2007)52%
/
4/4
 
"Black Gold raises issues in an engaging way without preaching or becoming a lesson in economics. At the end of it all you will certainly be looking for those Fair Trade stickers."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Black Gold (2006)85%
/
4/5
 
"Inspired by true events in the life of Clifford Irving, the writer who nearly pulled off one of the most audacious media scams in history, Lasse Hallstrom’s version of the proceedings gives Richard Gere one of his best roles in years."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
3/5
 
"The film imparts a feel-good glow about the triumph of the underdog in adversity. And the training scenes against scenic backdrops should please tourist authority Visit Scotland."

3/5

Posted Nov 29, 2006
 
Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007)78%
/
4/5
 
"There's no denying its technical bravado and the haunting power of its subject."
Posted Nov 29, 2006
 
Jindabyne (2007)66%
/
3/4
 
"The imagery is poetic and beautiful at times. Meanwhile, the haunting legacy of the documentary is that people still are being pulled apart by religious differences and ethnicity."
Posted Nov 10, 2006
 
Iraq in Fragments (2006)91%
/
4/5
 
"Every so often a film happens along that defines its times. Once of these is Little Children, in which middle America and its suburban mores and fears fall under the acerbic gaze of Todd Field."
Posted Sep 19, 2006
 
Little Children (2006)81%
/
3/5
 
"De Palma has the perfect recipe for a madcap rollercoaster ride that never allows the viewer time to sit still and take stock."
Posted Sep 15, 2006
 
The Black Dahlia (2006)35%
/
3/5
 
"It has an appealing feel-good factor and could be this year’s Calendar Girls, another Brit-flick sleeper hit."
Posted Sep 14, 2006
 
Driving Lessons (2006)49%
/
3/5
 
"Put over with a good deal of humor, not to mention some gut-wrenchingly graphic scenes in the abattoir and heartbreak tales of the Mexican immigrant work force, Fast Food Nation does not let up its momentum for a second."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Fast Food Nation (2006)51%

3/5
 
"One of the most arresting and original offerings in Cannes this year."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Ten Canoes (2007)98%
/
3/5
 
"In his highly atmospheric film, Del Toro also extracts some excellent performances, especially Lopez, who makes his character a monster with some human qualities, and Maribel Verdú as Ofelia's ailing mother."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)96%
/
4/5
 
"It is heartening to see the veteran Loach receiving just recognition for a work that ranks alongside his finest."
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2007)89%
/
3/5
 
"Mitchell, despite appearances, is more interested in what makes his characters tick rather than their physical peccadilloes."
Posted May 31, 2006
 
Shortbus (2006)65%
/
4/5
 
"There's a dazzling array of faces, languages and imagery that sears into your soul."
Posted May 31, 2006
 
Babel (2006)68%

"Red Road does not make easy viewing, yet emerges as compulsively watchable."
Posted May 31, 2006
 
Red Road (2007)89%
/
3/5
 
"Despite its two-hour-plus running time, Howard manages to make more sense of it all without dispelling the mystery -- and leaves little time for anyone to ponder any inconsistencies."
Posted May 19, 2006
 
The Da Vinci Code (2006)25%
/
3.5/5
 
"Astutely scripted by Alex Rose, the narrative is never willing to sell short the characters or to suffuse the story with a surfeit of sentimentality, although it has to be said that the ending will melt even the hardest of hearts."
Posted Mar 11, 2006
 
On A Clear Day (2006)67%
/
3.5/5
 
"Look at Me, succinctly paced and written with economy of style, will strike chords of human recognition amongst us all."

Melinda and Melinda (2005)51%
/

"The film has a jaunty and intelligent wit, while the performances of the trio (Daniel Bruehl, Julia Jentsch and Stipe Erceg) are neatly nuanced and full of youthful bravado and swagger."
Posted Nov 6, 2004
 
The Edukators (2005)68%
/
