	"*Plucky, likable and determined to succeed, much like its heroine, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl* is a throwback to the kinds of movies they don�t make anymore.*" -- Variety* Posted Jun 18, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
	"Arrogance gives way to humility, making this an appropriate, if thoroughly cliched, Christmas morality tale that's sugar-coated with an attractive cast spouting sitcom-quality dialogue." -- Variety Posted Apr 16, 2008	I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998)	18%
	"Accessible, entertaining and fun for modern audiences. Exquisitely acted, tightly directed and impressively assembled, this lively period piece is the kind of arty gem with potentially broad appeal that Miramax certainly knows how to sell." -- Variety Posted Feb 20, 2008	Shakespeare in Love (1998)	93%
	"Feels like an homage to a bygone era of moviemaking." -- Variety Posted Feb 20, 2008	A Plumm Summer (2008)	25%

3/5	"*With so much invested in this film, Gracie* represents the culmination of a family dream, so you can't really blame it for wearing its heart on its sleeve.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Jun 1, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%

4/5	"*At more than 2 1/2 hours, The Yacoubian Building* is nothing if not long. But it's a window into a culture that few of us get to see.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Dec 8, 2006	The Yacoubian Building ()	100%
3/5	"Falls prey to bits of psychoanalytic shorthand and narrative predictability, but it offers the rare, meaty role for an actress in her late 30s." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 9, 2006	Come Early Morning (2006)	84%
	"An indie that benefits from amusing characters, strong thesping and taut situational humor." -- Variety Posted Aug 25, 2006	The Dogwalker (1999)	50%

4/5	"An uncompromising, dark and hilarious film." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2002	Trainspotting (1995)	88%
3/5	"Ultimately it's all a bit predictable -- the cyclical story more or less ends where it begins -- but it's nevertheless a charming and delightful romp, with keen observations about character, time and place." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2002	Slums of Beverly Hills (1998)	79%
