2/5	"[Director] Leesong fails to extrapolate the insights of the brothel milieu into his larger agenda: a melodramatic love-hate affair between Sumin and Jaemin so schematic it's unintelligible." -- New York Times Posted Jul 25, 2008	No Regret (2008)	50%
1/5	If there is anything the cinema needed less than another angst-ridden, cross-cutting tragedy about crime, fate, memory and redemption, it�s the kind shot in an ugly monochromatic palette like Take. -- New York Times Posted Jul 18, 2008	Take (2008)	44%
2/5	"Harold is the type of one-note dead zone ideally suited for a bathroom break while sitting home on a Saturday night, alone and semidrunk, in front of the television." -- New York Times Posted Jul 11, 2008	Harold (2008)	25%
2.5/5	"La Rivi�re Gentille affords an exceedingly long afternoon in the company of the artist Louise Bourgeois." -- New York Times Posted Jul 9, 2008	La Riviere Gentille (2008)	n/a
2.5/5	"*So earnest it hurts, Kicking It* follows a half-dozen homeless men from around the globe as they ready for the fourth annual Homeless World Cup in Cape Town.*" -- New York Times* Posted Jun 13, 2008	Kicking It (2008)	50%
1.5/5	"I take no pleasure in dumping on a 25-year-old pseudo-experimental nature documentary, but neither did I find much to like in Blue Planet." -- New York Times Posted Jun 13, 2008	Blue Planet (1981)	83%
3/5	"A compendium of six short films by French filmmakers, any one of which might prove diverting in the right place at the right time but all of which, cumulatively, don’t much make for a knockout night at the cinema." -- New York Times Posted May 30, 2008	"L'Origine de la tendresse" and Other Tales (2008)	n/a
1/5	"*Infantile, irreverent and boorish to the max, Postal* explodes with bad attitude and lousy filmmaking.*" -- New York Times* Posted May 23, 2008	Postal (2008)	9%
2/5	"*Shot piecemeal over the course of four years on locations in 18 countries, The Fall* is a genuine labor of love -- and a real bore.*" -- New York Times* Posted May 9, 2008	The Fall (2008)	53%
2.5/5	*Unpersuasive as drama, Tears* is the first and last Wong movie touched by any feel of the obligatory.** -- New York Times Posted May 2, 2008	As Tears Go By (1988)	71%
	"Crass, shrill, disingenuous, tawdry, mean-spirited, vulgar, idiotic, boring, slapdash." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 5, 2008	The Hottie & the Nottie (2008)	5%
	"Immy Humes no doubt needed to make this movie, and the PR set (Mailer, Matthiessen, Plimpton) obviously enjoy the trip down memory lane, but while Doc makes for a fascinating subject, Doc feels intended less for us than for them." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 22, 2008	Doc (2008)	78%
	"Untraceable hasn't the brains of a class-act psychothriller like Silence of the Lambs, and lacks the balls to juice up the trashy verve of the Saw series. Stuck in the middle, it leaves everyone stranded, actors and audience alike." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 22, 2008	Untraceable (2008)	15%
	"Marconi's indifference to detail extends to any consideration of what, exactly, Lagerfeld does for a living, not to mention the history of his rise in the fashion world." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 23, 2007	Lagerfeld Confidential (2007)	41%
	"Tells [a] ludicrously compact, aggressively 'heartfelt,' colorfully contrived story." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 16, 2007	DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007)	69%
	"[Question:] Balls of Fury is a movie about: a. A former table-tennis prodigy enlisted by the FBI to infiltrate the underground Ping-Pong tournament of a legendary Chinese criminal. b. Suppository jokes. c. Nothing worth discussing." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 28, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
	"Stirring and lurid in equal measure, the film is compelling in its details but queasily detached: verit� verging on exploitation." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 21, 2007	Kamp Katrina (2007)	80%
	"*Isolated excellence and larger lack of nerve�all dots, no connection�grows frustrating as England* turns from the personal to the political, from character study to social studies.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jul 24, 2007	This Is England (2007)	93%
	"Too clever by half, the plot contrivances deliver flippant satisfactions, and the agile performances keep the twists compelling, if less than credible." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 5, 2007	The Method (2005)	71%
	"Kaurism�ki has given us no special reason to revisit his coy, claustrophobic universe." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 13, 2007	Lights In The Dusk (2007)	68%
	"Ends up there is a moral to the story, one sure to delight the bamboozled pseudo-intellectuals who laughably defended Hostel as a geo-political critique of American arrogance and the culture of torture." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 8, 2007	Hostel: Part II (2007)	45%
	"Any hope that the great Portuguese master is in one of his more accessible moods is quickly dashed as the film grows progressively darker, talkative, and stubborn in the extreme." -- Village Voice Posted May 30, 2007	The Fifth Empire (2007)	n/a
	"The worst thing Bekmambetov has picked up from his American models is the tendency of megasequels to aggrandize material grown enervated, to compensate for thinness by spreading out." -- Village Voice Posted May 29, 2007	Day Watch (2007)	64%
	"Based on a novel by Augustina Bessa- Lu�s, a frequent de Oliveira collaborator, the film is perversely textual, an endlessly talking picture seemingly addressed to no one but itself." -- Village Voice Posted May 23, 2007	Espelho M�gico (2005)	40%
	"POTC:AWE is a lukewarm maelstrom of secret agendas, double crossings, tricky alliances, back stabbings, political conspiracies, warring factions, etc. -- none of which is the least bit captivating or, by and large, comprehensible." -- Village Voice Posted May 23, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
	"[Director Dumont's] got a decent way of moving figures toward the vanishing point of a landscape. Otherwise, ugh." -- Village Voice Posted May 15, 2007	Flanders (2006)	71%
	"Writer-director Christoffer Boe takes himself very, very seriously. Me, not so much." -- Village Voice Posted May 8, 2007	Allegro (2005)	60%
	"*A certain twee anachronism has always been part of the Spider-Man* tradition -- ditto dexterous, old-fashioned fun. But this summer's first obligatory blockbuster is all thumbs.*" -- Village Voice* Posted May 1, 2007	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	61%
	"A shapeless, low-grade comedy of flamboyance, giggling at Conway's histrionics and fishnet gloving." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	Color Me Kubrick (2007)	52%
	"Unlikely to achieve BFF status with the MMORPG set, this CGI feature is light on the LOL factor, heavy on the ADD action scenes, and, like, TOOIFM (Totally Out Of Its Freakin' Mind)." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	TMNT (2007)	33%
	"*Rock appears to have been inspired by the opportunity Chloe* affords for unloading bitter chauvinism and venting hostility.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 13, 2007	I Think I Love My Wife (2007)	19%
	"A slapdash piece of work totally indebted to second-hand rhetorical strategies (the '50s educational film, glib Bush-bashing) and threadbare indignation." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 6, 2007	Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2007)	88%
	"Frankly, it's the slavish, frame-by-frame devotion to Miller's source material that's the problem. That explains both the risible screenplay and why the movie, for all its liberation from the real world, never takes full-winged flight." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 6, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
	"The Number 23 grips hold of one stupid idea and runs so far with it, in so many directions, to such little purpose, that it nearly won me over from sheer berserkoid effort." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 20, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%
	"The blank, frenetic exhaustion of the final reel acts like a kid who tries to snap out of a candy-binge coma by snorting lines of Pixy Stix." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 20, 2007	Ghost Rider (2007)	28%
	"Tsai's emptied-out aesthetic has never felt so empty, his mannerisms so pointlessly mannered." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 20, 2007	The Wayward Cloud (2005)	62%
	"The least-fabulous movie imaginable about the most fabulous persona in that most fabulous of scenes, the Warhol Factory at the height of its genius and gaiety." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 6, 2007	Factory Girl (2007)	19%
	"In the midst of this nifty picture-making, one searches in vain for the big picture." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 30, 2007	In The Pit (2007)	71%
	"... nothing but hot air." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 24, 2007	Breaking and Entering (2007)	34%
	"*For all its relevance to the state of the nation, Home of the Brave* is convinced it's saying something urgent but offers no fresh insight to postwar survival.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Dec 12, 2006	Home of the Brave (2006)	23%
	"*The only indignation stirred up by Blood Diamond* won't be among those who worry about where their jewelry came from, but with audiences incensed by facile politics and bad storytelling.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Dec 5, 2006	Blood Diamond (2006)	63%
	"10 Items or Less adds up to zilch." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 28, 2006	10 Items or Less (2006)	62%
	"*Though Turistas* eventually bogs down in an underlit mess, it more or less scratches the neo-exploitation itch.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 28, 2006	Turistas (2006)	15%
	"A Good Year offers little return on your own $10 investment beyond the spectacle of Scott misplacing his talents." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	A Good Year (2006)	26%
0.5/5	This prequel to a remake of the 1974 horror movie begs the question: how many chainsaw massacres can one state possibly contain? -- New York Times Posted Oct 5, 2006	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)	13%
1/5	"The first problem in Kettle of Fish, though by no means the last, is to imagine that by mussing up her hair, rumpling her clothes and accessorizing her with glasses and an ugly purse, you could ever make a believable wallflower out of Ms. Gershon." -- New York Times Posted Oct 5, 2006	Kettle of Fish (2006)	18%
2/5	"Boring people who made extraordinary music, the Pixies are inexplicable. In attempting to demystify them, this backstage pass to their 2004 reunion tour achieves the opposite." -- New York Times Posted Sep 28, 2006	Pixies - LoudQUIETLoud: A Film About the Pixies (2006)	67%
1.5/5	Vajra Sky Over Tibet demonstrates one alternative for moviemaking inside Tibet: the rhetorically inflated vacation video. -- New York Times Posted Sep 15, 2006	Vajra Sky Over Tibet (2006)	55%
2/5	"Set in dead-of-winter Minneapolis, a ready-made metaphor for (groan, shiver) the chill in Duncan's heart, the movie tells how life warms up when he goes to work at a nursing home." -- New York Times Posted Sep 15, 2006	Aurora Borealis (2006)	68%
1/5	*From a producer of Crash* comes Haven, an even phonier exercise in manufactured conflict, facile irony and preposterous contrivance.** -- New York Times Posted Sep 15, 2006	Haven (2006)	14%
