	"*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%

	"*Like a shopworn wedding gown disguised with a new sash, Made of Honor* feels recycled from top to bottom. That's because it's essentially a gender-swapped version of My Best Friend's Wedding.*" -- Variety* Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"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%
	"As a film, however, item misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life." -- Variety Posted Apr 15, 2008	Bridget Jones' Diary (2001)	80%
	"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%
	"*At once a throwback to the days of Capra and Sturges and a wholly contempo item, Snow Days* is smarter and more appealing than many other recent romantic comedies.*" -- Variety* Posted Nov 26, 2007	Let it Snow (2001)	53%
	"A rare holiday treat, a package that's both thoughtfully selected and sure to please its intended recipients." -- Variety Posted Oct 26, 2007	This Christmas (2007)	54%
3/5	"Haney doesn't strive for balance, and he doesn't have to; the images speak for themselves." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Oct 19, 2007	The Price of Sugar (2007)	72%
	"...should satisfy Bynes fans looking for a pleasant, innocuous follow-up to her last vehicle." -- Variety Posted Sep 25, 2007	Sydney White (2007)	37%
2.5/5	"A spoof, sometimes a funny one, and sometimes just plain overkill." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 30, 2007	Closing Escrow (2007)	54%
	"*This new comedy rarely rises above standard sitcom fare, a bitter and ironic disappointment given the involvement of American Splendor* writer-directors Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman.*" -- Variety* Posted Aug 17, 2007	The Nanny Diaries (2007)	34%
2.5/5	"With its recycled themes and muddled storyline generating a cascade of unanswered questions, the film is more about style than substance." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 16, 2007	Splinter (2006)	33%
4/5	"The film successfully contextualizes [Wisenthal's] legacy for a new generation." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 5, 2007	I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)	81%
	"Purportedly an attempt to modernize the young detective's adventures for a new generation of tweens, the pic instead serves up stale mystery-movie cliches and overcooked red herrings in a thoroughly wooden adaptation." -- Variety Posted Jun 9, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
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%
3.5/5	"Alone With Her is a pretty engaging tale, and it's refreshing to see a well-acted, suspenseful drama made without a bloated budget or a lot of bloodletting." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 26, 2007	Alone With Her (2007)	67%
2.5/5	"Better pruning and different choices might have helped to shape the film into a more cohesive piece, instead of one so desperate to be funny that it sacrifices its honesty." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 18, 2007	Hollywood Dreams (2007)	38%
2.5/5	"With a different tone -- or in different hands -- its dark and light elements might have managed to coexist rather than vie so awkwardly for attention." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 10, 2007	Georgia Rule (2007)	18%
3.5/5	"Although its location and plot points are worlds away from typical Hollywood teen-angst fare, some of its themes are undeniably universal." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 23, 2007	Close to Home (2007)	67%
1.5/5	"About as appetizing as a pot of dishwater coffee." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 16, 2007	Caffeine (2007)	0%
2/5	"Serious portions, in which Gurwitch appears far too often to be mugging and cracking wise, are intercut with dumb sketches." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 15, 2007	Fired! (2007)	44%
	"Notable for its handsome, chiseled young lead, Sidney Santiago, and energy-infused urban cinematography." -- Variety Posted Feb 2, 2007	The 12 Labors (2007)	n/a
1.5/5	"There isn't enough absinthe in all of Romania to obliterate the taste of this clunker." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 30, 2007	Blood and Chocolate (2007)	9%
	"Deals with serious issues -- sudden death, grief, infidelity, deception -- in a fairly lighthearted way. What makes that worse is that there are a few moments when the film actually approaches some kind of emotional or dramatic truth." -- Variety Posted Jan 25, 2007	Catch and Release (2007)	23%
	"A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film." -- Variety Posted Jan 5, 2007	Baby Geniuses (1999)	3%
3/5	"*There may be no young actress today better at embodying a blend of wounded innocence and stoic pride than Sarah Polley. In The Secret Life of Words, she has a part worthy of her gifts." -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Dec 21, 2006	The Secret Life of Words (2006)	69%
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%
2/5	"Theoretically, the endangerment of the geisha tradition offers a compelling premise for a nonfiction film; unfortunately, that thesis is buried so deeply in this poorly structured documentary that it's nearly lost altogether." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2006	Hannari: Geisha Modern (2008)	0%
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%
	"This is a decidedly old-fashioned family film that may prove too quaint for modern auds." -- Variety Posted Aug 21, 2006	How to Eat Fried Worms (2006)	58%
	"*What is not entirely clear is what Hate Crime* adds to the equation that hasn't been done before.*" -- Variety* Posted Mar 16, 2006	Hate Crime (2005)	11%
	"A bittersweet, persuasively acted comedy whose tone recalls '80s teen films." -- Variety Posted Feb 3, 2006	Pizza (2005)	31%
	"An endearing, deceptively simple story." -- Variety Posted Nov 29, 2005	Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont (2005)	69%
	"Inadvertently reduces women to a variety of cliches, probably reinforcing many men's worst fears." -- Variety Posted Sep 30, 2005	Going Shopping (2006)	43%
	"Viewers are left feeling that it's still a male-dominated profession, but that determined women like these might just effect some small change." -- Variety Posted Apr 13, 2005	Double Dare (2005)	97%
	"*Uneven though it is, Because of Winn-Dixie, based on Kate Di Camillo's novel, is tough to dislike." -- Variety* Posted Feb 11, 2005	Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)	54%
	"*It's nowhere near as exhilarating as Fame* or even Flashdance, and Terri's performance skills are less awe-inspiring than the plot requires.*" -- Variety* Posted Oct 7, 2004	Raise Your Voice (2004)	16%
	"Has its flaws, among them a certain self-righteousness and a complicated storyline, but it is never less than gripping thanks to its gifted international cast." -- Variety Posted Mar 18, 2004	The Reckoning (2004)	40%
