3/5	"Little Children is intentionally very literary, with narration that sometimes substitutes for dialogue and a symmetrical structure." -- Orlando Weekly Posted Jan 4, 2007	Little Children (2006)	81%
4/5	"The performances are utterly natural, seemingly as offhand as Andrij Parekh's hand-held cinematography." -- Orlando Weekly Posted Sep 14, 2006	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
	"*For a film rooted in the director's own experience, The Lost City* is surprisingly unilluminating.*" -- Orlando Weekly* Posted Jun 1, 2006	The Lost City (2006)	25%
	"Viewers who stick around will be rewarded with a complex, moving domestic drama -- and a couple of duels." -- Washington Post Posted Jun 4, 2004	Twilight Samurai (2004)	98%
	"The sort of clumsy undertaking that trips up everyone and everything in it." -- Washington Post Posted May 28, 2004	Love Object (2004)	42%
	"*Poetic yet efficient, The Return* constructs a powerful mood without indulging in brooding, overlong scenes.*" -- Washington Post* Posted May 21, 2004	The Return (2004)	96%
	"Spring, Summer fans should only have their appreciation of that film expanded by seeing this rougher take on similar themes." -- Washington Post Posted May 21, 2004	The Isle (2002)	75%
	"An entertaining but somewhat creepy look at the world of competitive Scrabble." -- Washington Post Posted May 14, 2004	Word Wars (2004)	89%
	"A charming and astute first-person documentary." -- Washington Post Posted May 14, 2004	Divan (2004)	95%
	"Kari may eventually go far, but for now he's one of the less interesting inhabitants of international art cinema's disaffected-youth ghetto." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 30, 2004	Noi (2004)	88%
	"On their way to confront ancient evil, Strother and Losey keep tripping over timeworn cliches." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 23, 2004	Close Your Eyes (2004)	47%
	"Well-made, if rather predictable, new-age melodrama." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 21, 2004	Broken Wings (2004)	92%
	"Will go anywhere for a gag." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 9, 2004	The Whole Ten Yards (2004)	5%
	"This austere non-narrative should fascinate fashion buffs and fans of rigorous cinematic formalism, but leave everyone else fidgeting restlessly in their mass-market jeans and T-shirts." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 9, 2004	Yves Saint Laurent: 5, Avenue Marceau, 75116 Paris (2004)	71%
	"Provides some wry chuckles, but much of it is as dark as a Glasgow winter." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 9, 2004	Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself (2004)	87%
	"Nothing in this film makes any sense, and Stuart Blumberg, David T. Wagner and Brent Goldberg's script merely gets more preposterous as it elaborates on its implausible premise." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 9, 2004	The Girl Next Door (2004)	57%
	"*Rather than the That's Entertainment* of jumps, falls and back flips, actor-director Robin Shou's tribute to his former profession is half-baked and a little self-serving.*" -- Washington Post* Posted Apr 2, 2004	Red Trousers (2003)	25%
	"Hardly conventional entertainment, but seeing what happens next provides much of the fun in this far-from-academic exercise." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 26, 2004	The Five Obstructions (2004)	89%
	"Should give just about everyone who sees it a few laughs. But it will appeal most strongly to viewers who think Tom Hanks, who plays a thief and a potential murderer, can do no wrong." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 26, 2004	Ladykillers (2004)	55%
	"Beneath the family saga and easy digs at the tackiness of Western consumer culture, Becker presents a serious critique of authoritarianism and propaganda." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 19, 2004	Good Bye, Lenin! (2004)	89%
	"Carries too heavy a burden to succeed as the trifle it really is." -- Washington Post Posted Mar 12, 2004	The Reckoning (2004)	40%
	"A routine Hollywood high school morality play." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 27, 2004	Havana Nights (2004)	23%
	"Slight and unsurprising." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 20, 2004	Robot Stories (2004)	71%
	"The movie effectively simulates the game's whirl, and should grab all but the most finicky hockey fans. But for moviegoers who think if you've seen one sports flick, you've seen 'em all -- well, you've definitely seen this one." -- Washington Post Posted Feb 6, 2004	Miracle (2004)	79%
	"Desperation is the project's principal quality." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 30, 2004	Hebrew Hammer (2003)	52%
	"For its first half, Secret Things is a tolerably silly lark ... Yet as Christophe's role expands -- and the soundtrack's classical flourishes become more strident -- the film's plausibility plummets." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 30, 2004	Secret Things (2003)	48%
	"It's hard to care whether it's Tad or Pete who wins Rosalee's heart, and Luketic's direction is merely functional. Yet the film is not a chore, mostly because its leading lady makes the not-quite-plausible Rosalee consistently appealing company." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 23, 2004	Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004)	52%
	"This impeccably structured documentary is a fine introduction to Kahn's work and a consistently entertaining real-life mystery." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 9, 2004	My Architect: A Son's Journey (2003)	93%
	"Gently charming." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 9, 2004	The Big Animal (2006)	95%
	"*For true Kaurismakian austerity, the film to see is the singular Juha, which dispenses with dialogue altogether." -- Washington Post* Posted May 30, 2003	Juha (1998)	40%
	"*In addition to achieving a paradoxical balance of mirth and melancholy, Drifting Clouds* is a dark, mostly interior movie with a color scheme as big as all outdoors.*" -- Washington Post* Posted May 23, 2003	Drifting Clouds (1998)	100%
	"One of those motley movies that borrows from just about everywhere." -- Washington Post Posted Apr 18, 2003	Bulletproof Monk (2003)	22%
2/5	"Kiss of the Dragon does have a sense of its own absurdity, but that doesn't prevent it from cloaking the inherently comic kung-fu genre in a seriousness so solemn that it could be French." -- Washington Post Posted Jul 6, 2001	Kiss of the Dragon (2001)	50%
1.5/5	"An instant antique." -- Washington Post Posted May 4, 2001	Pavilion of Women (2001)	6%
	"A dull, crudely animated Pokemon byproduct." -- Washington Post Posted Jan 1, 2000	Pok�mon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back (1999)	15%
