3.5/5	"In addition to the two female leads, filmmaker Brougher does exceptionally commendable work." Posted Apr 20, 2007	Stephanie Daley (2007)	89%
2/5	"Perhaps more problematic than the film's derivative nature -- with plot points and dialogue borrowing somewhat from Sex and the City and rather heavily from Woody Allen -- is the fact that the film is just not funny." Posted Feb 2, 2007	Puccini for Beginners (2007)	49%
3/4	"*What starts off as another seeming teenboy-targeted flick celebrating would-be gangbangers becomes a more interesting docudrama about a kidnapping turned tragic in Nick Cassavetes's Alpha Dog." Posted Dec 30, 2006*	Alpha Dog (2007)	55%
3/4	"*Nick Nolte delivers an unexpectedly moving turn in Off the Black, James Ponsoldt�s baseball-themed story of regret and redemption." Posted Dec 8, 2006*	Off the Black (2006)	67%
3.5/5	"An astute and accurate-feeling account of the process of falling madly in -- and heartbreakingly out -- of love." Posted Nov 17, 2006	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
2.5/5	"*Despite its best intentions, however, The Bridge* is ultimately only able to raise questions, failing to provide an avenue for a deeper exploration of the taboo subject.*" Posted Oct 30, 2006*	The Bridge (2006)	69%
3/5	"Although the analysis is far from deep, Mock's film succeeds as an above-average introduction to the playwright, especially to an audience unfamiliar with his work." Posted Oct 6, 2006	Wrestling with Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner (2006)	72%
4/5	"A richly imaginative and enchantingly playful work of onscreen art, The Science of Sleep is not so much a straightforward narrative as it is a pastiche of fanciful reveries, brightly-colored visuals and childlike innocence personified." Posted Sep 14, 2006	The Science of Sleep (2006)	69%
3/5	"*The slower and minimalist pacing, like many of Man Push Cart�s* formal conventions, adds another dimension to the sorrow at the true heart of the film.*" Posted Sep 13, 2006*	Man Push Cart (2006)	87%
2.5/5	"Resonates as more spectacle than substance, despite the notable star wattage powering the evidently big-budget feature film." Posted Jul 29, 2006	The Illusionist (2006)	75%
3.5/5	"At once wholly silly and delectably bizarre." Posted Jun 3, 2006	Strangers With Candy (2006)	51%
	"This existential tale about an afterworld exclusively for suicide victims and a handful of newcomers attempting to navigate the landscape pulsates originality through its uncanny way of incorporating the familiar into the offbeat." Posted May 20, 2006	Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007)	65%
3.5/5	"*Never overly dramatic or obviously sentimental, Half Nelson* is a well-made study of imperfect individuals doing their best to not only survive, but to interact meaningfully with others around them.*" Posted May 20, 2006*	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
3/5	"The thriller is relatively consistent at maintaining the suspense and dramatic tension that made the original work of fiction so compelling to the celebrated writer's loyal group of fans." Posted May 20, 2006	The Night Listener (2006)	41%
4/5	"Shrewdly balancing the ironies of the morbid inclinations of the film's Hoover clan and an underlying tenderness that steers away from obvious sentimentality, Michael Arndt's script shines with the support of the superb cast." Posted May 20, 2006	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	91%
3/5	"Come Early Morning is anchored by a deep affection for its very anti-urban locale and an authentic attempt to capture the people populating the milieu." Posted May 20, 2006	Come Early Morning (2006)	84%
2.5/5	"Art School Confidential's various plotlines never quite gel to form a cohesive whole." Posted May 5, 2006	Art School Confidential (2006)	36%
3/5	"Friends With Money offers a more engaging and nuanced plotline than usually associated with run-of-the-mill chick flicks." Posted Apr 7, 2006	Friends With Money (2006)	71%
2.5/4	"Lucky Number Slevin, boosted as it is by a serious A-list ensemble cast and a heavy dose of intrigue, crosses the unfortunate line between clever and pretentious, rendering itself tiresome long before its heavily built-up denouement." Posted Apr 7, 2006	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	51%
3.5/5	"The concert film's unifying force is, of course, Neil Young himself." Posted Feb 18, 2006	Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006)	90%
4/5	"An insightful presentation of everyday tragedy." Posted Sep 12, 2005	The Squid and the Whale (2005)	94%
3/5	"Manages to transcend the cliches of its basic plotline on the strength of the character-acting so richly developed by the film's two stars." Posted Sep 12, 2005	The Matador (2005)	75%
2.5/5	"An uninspired satire on sanitized suburban life." Posted Aug 5, 2005	The Chumscrubber (2005)	34%
2.5/5	"The film's highlight is the young cast's plausible turns, with the playful interactions among them proving particularly appealing. Their ensemble performances, however, can't even begin to approach remedying the nonsensical shortcomings." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Dear Wendy (2005)	37%
2.5/5	"Although all actors are plausible in their respective roles, Gyllenhaal's Jude is the only one that is provided with enough dimensionality to keep things interesting." Posted Jul 18, 2005	Happy Endings (2005)	58%
3.5/5	"A welcome take on the timeless tale of growing up." Posted Jun 18, 2005	Thumbsucker (2005)	71%
2.5/5	"Likely to leave many viewers unfulfilled." Posted Apr 30, 2005	The Dying Gaul (2005)	48%
3/5	"*In addition to painting an engaging portrait of the Pierson clan, Reel Paradise* quite simply captures the pure, unfiltered joy of the movies.*" Posted Apr 30, 2005*	Reel Paradise (2005)	67%
3/5	"Although quite different in their respective plotlines, pacing and moods, the trio of segments in Three... Extremes gel together smoothly to form a complementary and memorable final product both fascinating and utterly horrific." Posted Apr 9, 2005	3 Extremes (2005)	84%
2.5/5	"Unfortunately relies on unoriginal plotting techniques to convey the story of an investigative journalist attempting to expose racial injustices in a society coming to grips with the newly introduced edicts of apartheid." Posted Apr 9, 2005	Drum (2004)	86%
3/5	"*Anchored by dry humor and purposefully understated performances, Lonesome Jim* steadily builds in charm as it progresses.*" Posted Apr 2, 2005*	Lonesome Jim (2006)	58%
3/5	"Interesting, though always difficult, viewing." Posted Mar 13, 2005	Wolf Creek (2005)	53%
3/4	"Though the various dilemmas confronting the film's heroines are resolved in predictable fashion, the understated performances of Krusiec and the always radiant Joan Chen, combined with Wu's tender direction, are the saving grace of Saving Face." Posted Mar 13, 2005	Saving Face (2005)	86%
3/5	"Mirrormask is above all else a feast for the eyes." Posted Mar 13, 2005	MirrorMask (2005)	51%
3.5/5	"A timeless and well-made story of personal redemption, enhanced by Howard's breakthrough performance and winning turns from every single supporting cast member." Posted Mar 13, 2005	Hustle & Flow (2005)	82%
3.5/5	"Exuberant, offbeat and gut-wrenchingly funny." Posted Mar 13, 2005	Rock School (2005)	82%
2/5	"Smug, rude and ultimately lost." Posted Mar 13, 2005	Pretty Persuasion (2005)	32%
3/5	"A funny and largely fascinating take on one of the film industry's milestone productions." Posted Feb 11, 2005	Inside Deep Throat (2005)	82%
3.5/5	"An at times heartbreaking exploration into the past of a man so secretive that his longtime professional associates and family--or families, more accurately--only knew certain sides of his multifaceted and divided character." Posted Nov 14, 2003	My Architect: A Son's Journey (2003)	93%
3/5	"Sylvia is probably best left for the poet's legions of feminist and literary-minded fans who expect nothing less than bleak seriousness in the biopic of their beloved writer." Posted Oct 17, 2003	Sylvia (2003)	37%
1.5/5	"Uninteresting characters, slow storytelling and the deadly dullness of the film's overall talky quality ... take away any potential sting that the Gallic helmer had envisioned for his big-screen critique." Posted Oct 5, 2003	The Flower of Evil (2003)	64%
3/5	"*Figuring out the ending is only half the fun, anyway; watching a master helmer like Scott navigate through the twists and turns of Matchstick Men* is really the more interesting journey.*" Posted Sep 12, 2003*	Matchstick Men (2003)	82%
1.5/5	"*As a movie totally absent of both humor and sexual tension, the only laughing matter in My Boss's Daughter* is its classification as a romantic comedy.*" Posted Aug 25, 2003*	My Boss's Daughter (2002)	8%
2.5/5	"Fanning's black rage caused by the very unfunny matters of parental neglect and the impending death of a loved one grates against the film's driving purpose as lightweight fare." Posted Aug 15, 2003	Uptown Girls (2003)	13%
3/5	"A pleasant surprise." Posted Aug 8, 2003	Freaky Friday (2003)	88%
2.5/5	"*Silly but not always satisfying, Kennedy's trademark satirical style is really what's most wanted -- but missing -- in Malibu." Posted Apr 18, 2003*	Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)	30%
3/5	"Solid performances by the cast and Lin's expressive storytelling techniques combine for an absorbing twist on this coming-of-age tale." Posted Apr 11, 2003	Better Luck Tomorrow (2003)	80%
2/5	"There is little to be done with John Rice and Joe Batteer's clich�-ridden script, which falls back time and time again on the conventions of the film's genre." Posted Jun 10, 2002	Windtalkers (2002)	35%
3.5/5	"*At its supreme best, Hannibal* is a voyage into the depths of existential horror.*" Posted Jun 5, 2002*	Hannibal (2001)	38%
3.5/5	"A touching homage to a man who triumphed over bigotry to become a baseball legend." Posted Jun 5, 2002	The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999)	95%
