4/5	"Turns out that every country, every civilization, has its good eggs as well as its bad ones. What The Prisoner clearly shows us is that this Administration has no interest in learning the difference between the two." Posted Mar 27, 2007	The Prisoner Or: How I Planned To Kill Tony Blair (2007)	86%
3/5	"A fascinating, if somewhat pretentious little film that's not exactly the cut and dried crime drama that The Detective might have expected." Posted Sep 16, 2006	Zen Noir (2006)	29%
3.5/5	"*Marchbanks has crafted a genuine portrait of suburban Americana with Fall To Grace, especially with regard to our younger citizenry." Posted Jul 6, 2006*	Fall to Grace (2006)	50%
3.5/5	"It's simply a pleasure watching these seasoned pros, a collection of recognizable faces, if not exactly household names, massage these characters and bring them and their stories to life." Posted Jun 24, 2006	Three Days of Rain (2002)	40%
2/5	"No, Ethan Hawke can't do Shakespeare." Posted Jun 3, 2006	Hamlet (2000)	55%
3.5/5	"*If the fascinating, if disconcerting Our Brand Is Crisis* teaches us one thing, it's that consultants, handlers, lawyers, and middlemen can always find a job.*" Posted Mar 1, 2006*	Our Brand Is Crisis (2005)	92%
4/5	"Joel and Ethan Cohen are in the midst of just such a golden streak right now." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Big Lebowski (1998)	77%
4.5/5	"A finely tuned piece of work." Posted Dec 6, 2005	High Fidelity (2000)	91%
3.5/5	"Chilling, depressing, yet guardedly optimistic." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Girlhood (2003)	94%
2.5/5	"... bears an unfortunate resemblance to one of the ambitious three-week productions the Stagedoor Manor campers strive to put on." Posted Dec 6, 2005	Stagedoor (2006)	65%
3/5	"A solid, if unspectacular family film." Posted Dec 6, 2005	In America (2003)	89%
4/5	"*An idiot is exactly what you'll be if you don't check out The Dinner Game." Posted Dec 6, 2005*	The Dinner Game (1998)	72%
3/5	"... eye-opening documentary ..." Posted Dec 6, 2005	A Life Without Pain (2005)	n/a
4/5	"The film's horrific conclusion is as uncompromising as it is inevitable and, unfortunately, ever-more topical." Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Butcher Boy (1997)	79%
3/5	"Reminds us of the vast range of physical, mental and emotional attributes the human race can encompass." Posted Oct 8, 2005	The Aggressives (2005)	89%
3/5	"The kind of film in which you pretty much know that everything is going to turn out all right in the end. That doesn't mean, however, that one won't enjoy watching this warm and fuzzy exercise in escapism in the process." Posted Sep 24, 2005	Christmas in the Clouds (2005)	69%
4/5	"A heartwarming, cleansing film that's simply good for the soul." Posted Jun 11, 2005	Cape Of Good Hope (2005)	68%
3/5	"Simply goes on way too long, the good parts diluted by marginal material the same way anchovies'll ruin a perfectly good Meat Lover's Special." Posted May 21, 2005	Drivers Wanted ()	n/a
3.5/5	"Succeeds in putting human faces on both the soldiers that we read about so clinically in our papers, as well as, to a lesser extent, the Iraqis who, not surprisingly, come across as both victims and aggressors." Posted Apr 23, 2005	Occupation: Dreamland (2005)	76%
4/5	"A touching and almost ridiculously inspirational story for all of us." Posted Mar 22, 2005	Emmanuel's Gift (2005)	81%
3/5	"Delightfully goofy." Posted Nov 16, 2004	Bob, Verushka & the Pursuit of Happiness (2000)	43%
3/5	"A decent, if flawed look at life in the football spotlight; a film that makes one wonder if it might not be time to turn down the glare a little bit." Posted Oct 30, 2004	America Brown (2005)	80%
3.5/5	"While there's never any serious doubt about how director Jordan Hawley's bittersweet comedy is going to end up, it's still a fun and silly-in-a- good-way ride to get there." Posted Oct 30, 2004	50 Ways to Leave Your Lover (2004)	60%
3.5/5	"Provides enough tragi-comedy to make the viewer feel like drowning their own sorrows... while laughing to lift their spirits." Posted Oct 21, 2004	Happy Hour (2004)	38%
3.5/5	"This film should truly frighten partisans on both sides of the aisle." Posted Aug 21, 2004	Bush's Brain (2004)	61%
4/5	"This is a solid under-the-radar sleeper." Posted Apr 3, 2004	Mind The Gap (2004)	59%
3/5	"Coaxes its fair share of laughs from an audience sure to be squirming in their seats in discomfort, while the film's outrageous ending almost makes the slow ramp-up worthwhile." Posted Mar 26, 2004	Mail Order Wife (2005)	63%
3.5/5	"The film reveals a man whose wiry build, relentless passion, fearless guile, and bravery made him a beloved human rights activist in his strife-ridden country." Posted Mar 24, 2004	The Agronomist (2004)	96%
3/5	"*Even though this film swings for the fences but doesn't quite connect, Martin and Orloff* is still a solid double off the wall.*" Posted Nov 3, 2003*	Martin & Orloff ()	47%
3.5/5	"[A] refreshing road movie." Posted Sep 24, 2003	What Alice Found (2003)	68%
3.5/5	"It takes a determined effort to stick with Girlhood ... The reward for sticking with it, however, is worth it as viewers catch two all-too-rare glimpses of the juvenile reform system actually working for a change, if only in spite of itself." Posted Sep 24, 2003	Girlhood (2003)	94%
4/5	"Does an excellent job of showing how powerful television has become in getting one's message across... as well as how easily television and some creative editing can manipulate that very message." Posted Sep 9, 2003	The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003)	98%
3.5/5	"*The appeal of The Burial Society* lays in its unusual and obscure take on an otherwise mundane tale of greed, treachery and double-cross.*" Posted Jul 22, 2003*	Burial Society (2004)	53%
2.5/5	"While providing a fresh perspective on a different troubled time in our history, this challenging but flawed film nonetheless manages to be a much needed affirmation of the American Dream." Posted May 27, 2003	America So Beautiful (2001)	33%
3.5/5	"The Scoundrel's Wife looks great and Pitre fills the film with solid performances all around." Posted Apr 24, 2003	The Home Front (2001)	n/a
4/5	"Set in Australia, this rock 'em, sock 'em tug of war is a solid bit of nasty fun from Down Under." Posted Mar 25, 2003	The Hard Word (2003)	40%
4/5	"A devilishly fun film, full of juicy performances, unrelenting tension, and a sense of unpredictability that lasts right up to the very end." Posted Mar 23, 2003	Phone Booth (2003)	71%
2.5/5	"*With its clumsy storytelling and lack of someone to filter Duvall's gushiness about the subject matter, Assassination Tango* winds up shooting itself in its own dancing feet.*" Posted Mar 23, 2003*	Assassination Tango (2003)	48%
3.5/5	"A chronicle not only of one man's quest to be president, but of how that man single-handedly turned a plane full of hard-bitten, cynical journalists into what was essentially, by campaign's end, an extended publicity department." Posted Mar 8, 2003	Journeys With George (2002)	80%
3.5/5	"Does wonderful things with an unlikely, maybe even slightly fantastic love story between two star-crossed lovers." Posted Mar 6, 2003	The Cooler (2003)	77%
3.5/5	"As the field gets winnowed down, we actually do get to know the survivors well enough to develop an empathy for them, if not a downright rooting interest." Posted Feb 14, 2003	Spellbound (2003)	98%
2.5/5	"A tedious, snail-paced mess." Posted Feb 14, 2003	Fear X (2003)	55%
3/5	"Has just enough quirks and unexpected shocks along the way to keep things interesting." Posted Feb 12, 2003	Milk and Honey (2005)	56%
3.5/5	"A film that's every bit as odd, unique, and unnerving as its title character." Posted Feb 12, 2003	The Mudge Boy (2004)	74%
3/5	"While Love & Diane is itself a compelling, if difficult story about the individuals involved, the film resonates more deeply when the viewer considers its titular individuals as examples of the broader societal ills of which they are a byproduct." Posted Feb 12, 2003	Love and Diane (2003)	97%
2/5	"All the main characters are loud, crude, obnoxious and just grating in general." Posted Feb 12, 2003	Madame Sata (2003)	60%
3/5	"A genial, generally amusing film." Posted Feb 11, 2003	2 Brothers & a Bride (2003)	46%
1.5/5	"*While the opera The Death of Klinghoffer* seems like a dubious enough proposition to begin with, turning that opera into a movie was just an all around bad idea.*" Posted Feb 10, 2003*	John Adams - The Death of Klinghoffer (1991)	57%
2.5/5	"Cholodenko's tepid melodrama is an exercise in boilerplate storytelling." Posted Feb 4, 2003	Laurel Canyon (2003)	67%
3/5	"City of Ghosts is trying so hard to be an epic tale of crime and intrigue, but it just doesn't quite succeed." Posted Feb 4, 2003	City of Ghosts (2003)	47%
