3.5/4	"*Partly due to its intensity, Order of the Phoenix* is better than the first four in the series. Also credit a much tighter, meatier script and better acting.*" Posted Jul 10, 2007*	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
3/4	"Live Free or Die Hard is the most creative and exciting Die Hard film since the original, though it's hardly the original's equal." Posted Jun 26, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
2/4	"When you can get just as good on the Hallmark network, why drive all the way to a theater?" Posted Sep 8, 2006	Broken Bridges (2006)	5%
3/4	"*This new Lassie* is no match for the original MGM production (Roddy McDowell, Donald Crisp, Elizabeth Taylor, etc.), but there are many compensations that make it fine family entertainment.*" Posted Sep 1, 2006*	Lassie (2006)	92%
2.5/4	"Adults will get enough laughs to survive gags such as the chickens using a Col. Sanders dartboard but will likely lose patience waiting for the very predictable story and sentiments to slowly play themselves out." Posted Aug 4, 2006	Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006)	23%
2.5/4	"Joe Conway's script needs more dramatic edge and motivation and a less easy resolution, but we're glad when things work out the way we knew they would." Posted May 3, 2006	Paradise, Texas (2005)	n/a
3/4	"Slither is seriocomic horror, alternating laughs with gooey, creepy scares." Posted Mar 31, 2006	Slither (2006)	84%
2.5/4	"*If you're in the mood for a thriller, Firewall* will suffice -- barely.*" Posted Feb 10, 2006*	Firewall (2006)	19%
3/4	"*The best summer thrill ride since Batman Begins, Serenity* roars in a late but mighty welcome considering this year's sub-fun slate.*" Posted Sep 30, 2005*	Serenity (2005)	82%
B-	"Techine keeps a tight rein on his actors' dramatics." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Alice et Martin (1998)	67%
	"Why gripe about a few minor inconsistencies? Just relax and enjoy the show." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Frequency (2000)	70%
B	"*All the people of Chuck & Buck* feel very human.*" Posted Jul 21, 2005*	Chuck & Buck (2000)	84%
	"It seems too much to ask a movie to entertain, inform and inspire. For it to also work as sports story, social history and biography is a home run with men on base." Posted Jul 21, 2005	The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999)	95%
	"Dudley is merely a dud." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Dudley Do-Right (1999)	14%
	"None of the cast comes off well, but they have little to work with, since the dialogue sounds like it was made up on the spot and performed without rehearsal." Posted Jul 21, 2005	I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998)	18%
	"Those who don't weaken and bolt for the door experience a one-of-a-kind visual adventure they are unlikely to forget." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Fellini Satyricon (1969)	79%
	"While this version plays somewhat fast and loose with the original story, and even more so with the heroine's character, it is still much more Jane Austen than not." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Mansfield Park (1999)	76%
B	"Satisfying, enjoyable and smart." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Love and Basketball (2000)	82%
B+	"The movie is as dark, ironic and fatalistically comic as modern film noir comes." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Blood Simple (1984)	98%
B	"It's obvious Kusama knew what she wanted and was in control, because all the key roles and scenes are played with a uniform tone and conviction." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Girlfight (2000)	89%
B+	"One of the best movie series ever is a true-life drama like no other. Miss it at your peril." Posted Jul 21, 2005	42 Up (1998)	90%
	"The director and actors get away with this fluff thanks to the nimble, whimsical way it's played." Posted Nov 9, 2001	Better Than Sex (2001)	47%
	"On a whole, the movie stays as blandly inoffensive (albeit sometimes annoying) as possible." Posted Oct 25, 2001	On the Line (2001)	18%
	"It's about grown-ups and for grown-ups." Posted Oct 25, 2001	Innocence (2001)	83%
	"*As a horror film, Bones* is a half-hearted bust, not likely to really frighten anyone over age 12. It works better if watched tongue in cheek as a supernatural pot boiler.*" Posted Oct 23, 2001*	Bones (2001)	22%
	"*There will be many people who consider Audition* an atrocity, and a few who find it a stimulating cinema experience.*" Posted Oct 19, 2001*	Audition (2001)	76%
	"It's hard not to enjoy the amusing and sometimes touching turnarounds [Jennifer and Randall] do." Posted Oct 12, 2001	My First Mister (2001)	53%
	"We never come to care about these characters, perhaps because they seem to care so little about themselves." Posted Oct 9, 2001	Our Lady of the Assassins (2001)	77%
	"A low-budget, mild-mannered comedy, often amusing and at times laugh-out-loud funny." Posted Oct 9, 2001	Haiku Tunnel (2001)	60%
	"*Director Antoine Fuqua, whose credits include the unimpressive The Replacement Killers, keeps a kinetic pace with visually exciting immediacy." Posted Oct 5, 2001*	Training Day (2001)	71%
	"It's just too bad the intended charm is applied with a shovel instead of a trowel. Romantic comedy is a delicate flower that can be smothered by too much fertilizer." Posted Sep 28, 2001	Greenfingers (2001)	46%
	"It's a feel-good movie to see with a friend on a rainy afternoon when you both need a little getaway." Posted Sep 21, 2001	Bread and Tulips (2001)	70%
	"More play than movie. But it's unusual for either. It's neither plot-driven like many plays nor action- and image-driven like most movies." Posted Sep 14, 2001	Lakeboat (2001)	83%
	"*Like Ruby, The Glass House* is in conflict with itself. It's confused about what kind of film it wants to be.*" Posted Sep 13, 2001*	The Glass House (2001)	21%
	"Often, in the fight scenes, it's hard to tell who is doing what to whom, but since it's all glitz and no content, it hardly matters." Posted Sep 6, 2001	The Musketeer (2001)	10%
	"Ghosts of Mars, hah. More like Turkey of Mars." Posted Aug 23, 2001	John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001)	19%
	"Its audience is a very narrow spectrum of filmgoers amused by tiny hints at a joke, or the minor peculiarities of a slightly unusual character. All others, beware." Posted Aug 17, 2001	Jackpot (2001)	30%
	"*If you don't think Hollywood movies have gone all soft in the head and heart, compare the sticky sweet ending of this with the finale to It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Posted Aug 17, 2001*	Rat Race (2001)	43%
	"A poor script and lame direction leave most of this Western deader than a dogie at a poisoned watering hole." Posted Aug 17, 2001	American Outlaws (2001)	13%
	"Schneebaum, a dull and helpless-looking nonentity at first glance, proves to be an amazingly courageous, inquisitive, remarkable man." Posted Aug 10, 2001	Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale (2001)	78%
	"Amusing in the offbeat humor that comes from the wackiness of odd but believable characters." Posted Jul 27, 2001	Made (2001)	67%
	"Often loses focus and wanders, unsure of where it wants to go." Posted Jul 27, 2001	Everybody's Famous (2001)	54%
	"*It's disappointing that the competent, toned-down, mildly exciting third installment, Jurassic Park III, is little more than a re-rehash of the first movie and much of the second." Posted Jul 18, 2001*	Jurassic Park III (2001)	48%
	"Well-crafted, good-natured silliness." Posted Jul 13, 2001	Legally Blonde (2001)	68%
	"Anyone expecting a serious reflection on gay or social themes or the current state of sexual attitudes in France will not find it. This sweet-natured movie is mainly for laughs." Posted Jul 6, 2001	The Closet (2001)	87%
	"*Your enjoyment of the Songcatcher* will pretty much depend on your predisposition to like it.*" Posted Jun 29, 2001*	Songcatcher (2001)	72%
	"Hrebejk, Jarchovsky and the talented cast wrench our emotions in unexpected directions." Posted Jun 29, 2001	Divided We Fall (2001)	90%
	"Bouajila, as Felix, has a freshness that seems natural, even though he is an experienced actor." Posted Jun 29, 2001	The Adventures of Felix (2001)	69%
	"Quirky details of character, implied but unstated background and lovely performances keep us enthralled." Posted Jun 22, 2001	Sexy Beast (2001)	86%
	"Valli's greatest accomplishment on the film is the naturalistic performances he gets from his nonprofessional local cast." Posted Jun 15, 2001	Himalaya (2001)	89%
