3/4	" *The budget for fake blood for this Tokyo-based festival of slicing, shooting and chomping probably comes in about even with Titanic's* budget for seawater.*" -- Chicago Tribune* Posted Nov 12, 2008	Tokyo Gore Police (2008)	100%
3/4	" They�re interesting tales lovingly rendered." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 18, 2008	Derek (2008)	80%
3/4	" Charming despite requisite training sequences and a cartoonishly evil opponent." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 18, 2008	Ping Pong Playa (2007)	67%
2/4	" If it makes some people be more careful about recycling and conservation, great. But filmmakers can�t rely on the flash of IMAX 3D for success." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 16, 2008	Dolphins and Whales 3D: Tribes of the Ocean (2008)	n/a
2/4	" The horses' quest for the Kentucky Derby is supposed to be the big-picture idea, but there isn't a whole lot of horse footage--too much standing around in stalls waiting." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Apr 18, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	69%
3/4	" Sharkwater probably ranks as one of the most frightening shark movies ever -- but sharks are the victims." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Nov 1, 2007	Sharkwater (2007)	81%
3/4	" Very cool." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 5, 2007	Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (2007)	100%
2/4	" The ending offers a bit of a surprise, but overall events are pretty much telegraphed, but not as fast in transmission. The running time is not much more than an hour, but it seems much, much longer." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 27, 2007	If I Didn't Care (2007)	37%
3/4	" The documentary effectively blends contemporary and recent interviews with film and tape recordings made by Crowhurst aboard the Electron." -- Metromix.com Posted Sep 6, 2007	Deep Water (2007)	96%
2/4	" If you enjoy such Bollywood-style numbers, try to tune out the movie when the music drops off and you'll enjoy it more." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 16, 2007	Marigold (2007)	33%
3/4	" The film reminds us that in birds, dinosaurs 'have left us only their grace and beauty,' for which, as a small mammal (at least in comparison to a 45-foot-long carnivore), I'm grateful." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jun 14, 2007	Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia (2007)	100%
2/4	" The lessons offered are pretty good -- misuse of power, ego and friendship among them. But the stories are very predictable, and a bit too bloody, and the acting is uneven." -- Chicago Tribune Posted May 3, 2007	Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror (2007)	11%
3/4	" There are lessons to be learned here, not the least of which is that you should never trust elf mercenaries, no matter how much you pay them." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Feb 22, 2007	Darkon (2007)	89%
3/4	" Comedy Central's Reno 911! -- a spoof of the police ride-along show Cops -- takes a shot at stretching the concept into a feature-length film. Unusual for this misfit crew, the shot pretty much hits its intended target." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Feb 22, 2007	Reno 911!: Miami (2007)	35%
1/4	" The stultifying lesson of the picture for you young guys: If you want a woman to remember you, treat her horribly and never apologize. And young ladies: You know you love the bad boys, so shut up and stand by your man." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Feb 8, 2007	Before We Were Turtles (2007)	n/a
2/4	" Despite some nice performances ... it never gets out of the predictable low gear." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 12, 2006	Rolling Family (2004)	59%
3/4	" It's better than some James Bond movies -- no matter what your age." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 12, 2006	Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)	33%
2/4	" It gives screenwriter-director Gregory Hatanaka an excuse for a lot of scene jumping -- and a chance to make the case for adopting a vegan diet." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Oct 5, 2006	Mad Cowgirl (2006)	33%
1/4	" It ... may be the longest 75-minute film in the history of cinema -- there was a clock check 25 minutes in, after thinking 'this has got to be almost over.'" -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 28, 2006	Room (2005)	69%
2/4	" When monsters attack, the camera gets all jerky, creating the horror effect known as motion sickness." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 23, 2006	Feast (2006)	57%
3/4	" Director Stassen opts to avoid leaping cats out for blood, instead presenting an interesting depth of field in faraway places, populated by the animals we learned to love as children and living in their natural habitats." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 14, 2006	Wild Safari 3D: A South African Adventure (2005)	83%
3/4	" A vision of nature that even a strip miner would want to conserve." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Mar 3, 2006	Deep Sea (IMAX) (2006)	91%
2/4	" The sad thing is, even for NASA/space fans, a snooze isn't out of the question despite the film's scant 40-minute running time." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Jan 26, 2006	Roving Mars (2006)	68%
1/4	" One redeeming feature of this picture is that it will make great fodder for those make-fun-of-the-movie TV shows." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Sep 1, 2005	A Sound of Thunder (2005)	8%
3/4	" The action is brilliant, the combat sharp and rattling, and the film follows the historical record more closely than most Hollywood films." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Aug 11, 2005	The Great Raid (2005)	36%
3/4	" Caviezel and McCormack manage to portray the stress-filled lives of the McCormicks with a low-key intensity that underscores the couples' frustrations and anxieties." -- Chicago Tribune Posted Apr 21, 2005	Madison (2005)	29%
