	"*A smart comedy for adults, Baby Mama* is a consistently funny pleasure, filled with charismatic performances and a nicely understated emotional element.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Baby Mama (2008)	62%
	"Buoyed by Chiwetel Ejiofor's terrific lead performance, this drama has more than enough smarts and philosophical underpinnings to compensate for familiarity in other regards." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
	"*Although based around a familiar, Rashomon-style concept, Vantage Point* ratchets up its intensity so effectively that the lack of originality hardly matters.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	"The film may occasionally strain too hard for magical whimsy, but there's no disputing its sweetness or poignancy." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
	"*Staying mostly faithful to the successful blueprint of its two earlier installments, Saw III* is an adequate sequel that works well enough on its own terms.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Saw III (2006)	27%
	"Director Ben Affleck displays sensitivity to his story's thematic undercurrents, but he hasn't yet developed the authorial voice needed to enliven the conventional plotting." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
	"*Merrily amoral, shamelessly watchable and outlandishly funny, Shoot 'Em Up* is not for all tastes, but those with a dark sense of humor will have a ball.*" -- Screendaily* Posted Jul 23, 2008	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
	"A needlessly elaborate plot somewhat spoils the pairing of these martial-arts icons, but this sturdy B-movie thriller has enough style to overcome its formulaic trappings." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	War (2007)	14%
	"Like its attractive leads, director DJ Caruso's smart teen thriller may be self-conscious, but it is undeniably appealing," -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Disturbia (2007)	67%
	"The strongest ingredient remains the four reptiles' incorrigible charm, which easily outclasses a muddled storyline and concessions to the prepubescent male audience." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	TMNT (2007)	33%
3/4	"A solid but mostly uninspired melding of the adventure and fright that have been the benchmarks of the franchise." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 23, 2008	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)	89%
3/4	"Emotionally affecting but dramatically wobbly, "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" touchingly illustrates the sting of poverty without overly resorting to childish shenanigans." -- Screendaily Posted Jul 22, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
	"A stubbornly affecting drama that�s strongest in its quieter moments." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 10, 2008	The Stone Angel (2008)	53%
	"Writer-director Georgina Garcia Riedel�s feature debut is so good for so long that it breaks the heart to watch the film lose its way." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 15, 2008	How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2008)	83%
	"Mori, whether buried in bad makeup or dropping jaws in a slinky number, turns out to be a fine actress who just happens to be a total knockout." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 7, 2008	Ugly Me (2008)	n/a
	"Unlike most indie dramas about rudderless 20-somethings who exorcise their hang-ups by talking and screwing each other to death, Tre is something rare: a perceptive, nonindulgent chamber piece that wrings a little art from that anxious age." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 31, 2008	Tre (2008)	53%
	"The film retains the novel's universal elements, but some of the political specifics get lost in translation" -- Screendaily Posted Oct 20, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
	"Control honors its subject�s eternal self-doubt by honing in on that truth and leaving the legend to others." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 18, 2007	Control (2007)	88%
	"Zobel�s directorial debut is as bleak a look at working as Miller or Mamet�s efforts, but what�s most striking about this bittersweet drama is its absence of indignant rage." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 27, 2007	Great World of Sound (2007)	82%
	"...his [Ferguson's] brilliant and riveting documentary about the Bush administration�s failures in Iraq, is at once the most devastating cinematic postmortem on America�s colossal blunder in the Middle East, and the most sober." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 26, 2007	No End in Sight (2007)	94%
	"Slowly evolves beyond highfalutin concepts like 'the craft of acting' into universal questions about surface beauty, inner depth and the double-edged sword of following a dream." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 14, 2007	Casting About (2007)	63%
	"[Director] Antal smartly adheres to the no-frills demands of B-movie horror, eliciting impressive chills from old-fashioned suffocating dread rather than the now usual gore." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 17, 2007	Vacancy (2007)	56%
	"*For all its rah-rah David-vs.-Goliath populism, Can Mr. Smith* understands that even an uncorrupted outsider like Smith must master the art of campaign gamesmanship to be successful.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Feb 1, 2007	Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? (2006)	83%
	"Cocaine Cowboys� pulpy entertainment value merely lures us into a grim, kaleidoscopic look at how one city was both destroyed and, ironically, eventually saved by some of the worst human beings to walk the Earth." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 2, 2006	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	69%
	"*From its riveting opening to its gripping conclusion, . . . So Goes the Nation* is arguably the most intelligent, kinetic analysis of the modern election process since The War Room.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Oct 19, 2006	So Goes the Nation (2006)	91%
	"The film succeeds because of its refreshingly low-key emotional approach and its refusal to impose character arcs or political agendas on its subjects' footage." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 12, 2006	The War Tapes (2006)	98%
	"Even if writer-director Michael Kang doesn�t exactly break new ground, he imbues his debut with a quiet, compelling inertia that mimics puberty�s rudderless drift, its burgeoning desire for something, anything, to change." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 27, 2006	The Motel (2006)	87%
	"All politics is personal, but rarely has that credo been illustrated so winningly as with Eran Riklis� delicate comedy about the maddening intersection of families, cultures and borders." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 20, 2006	The Syrian Bride (2005)	88%
	"The sort of movie you like in spite of yourself, Scary Movie 4 is obvious and dumb, but it possesses such a giddy, good-hearted spirit that even its terrible jokes (and there are tons) get by on something resembling charm." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 13, 2006	Scary Movie 4 (2006)	38%
	"A commentary on the troubling gray area between acceptable and unacceptable forms of violence, especially where the molding of boys into 'real men' is concerned." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 30, 2006	Evil (2003)	68%
	"Amnesia is often just a convenient disease-of-the-week plot device, but director Rupert Murray�s absorbing, poignant documentary illuminates the medical condition�s philosophical and personal implications." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 23, 2006	Unknown White Male (2005)	73%
	"A sobering but compassionate look at a man who ultimately might have been even more troubled than gifted." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 15, 2005	Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt (2005)	93%
	"Plot specifics are so muddy that part of the fun is getting lost in the narrative red herrings." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 8, 2005	Marebito (2004)	43%
	"An altogether riveting portrait of motherly devotion at its most primal." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 27, 2005	Little Man (2005)	60%
3/5	"Bruce Hunt�s directing debut displays a cold-blooded efficiency and refreshing lack of Michael Bay�ish hyperactivity in what is otherwise a solid if unspectacular action-horror flick." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 25, 2005	The Cave (2005)	13%
