	"*But since improv ... is all about the impulsive creative jazz, the immediacy, and the spontaneous energy of a live, you-are-there, no-rules event, does ASSSSCAT* work on DVD? It does.*" -- Film.com* Posted Apr 27, 2008	Upright Citizens Brigade - Asssscat! (2007)	n/a
	"...probably the purest expression of Gilliam's Rococo imagination..." -- Film.com Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)	85%
	"New York Times senior art critic Michael Kimmelman offers sharp insights when he mentions how Marla's painting reflects not just 'innocence' and what our psyches project into them, but also 'the cynicism of the art world.'" -- Film.com Posted Mar 11, 2008	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
	"From 1957 and first-time director Sidney Lumet, here's the great jury-room drama about the dynamic -- and potentially lethal -- relationship between guilt, suspicion, and prejudice." -- Film.com Posted Mar 11, 2008	12 Angry Men (1957)	100%
	"Both brutal and snowflake delicate all at once, this meditative neo-noir bears rewatching as layers and insights reveal themselves with subsequent viewings." -- Film.com Posted Mar 11, 2008	No Country for Old Men (2007)	95%
	"Annis inhabits Lillie with subtlety and in three dimensions, giving us plenty of room to admire the classy crumpet's self-possession and stick-to-it-iveness in a society that valued conformity and propriety above all else." -- Film.com Posted Mar 4, 2008	Lillie (1979)	n/a
	"...affectionate, sophisticated, bitingly satirical, hilarious and sexy -- no English degree required. At the same time, it's absolutely essential viewing for theater lovers, who may be blissfully horrified at what goes on when the audience isn't looking." -- Film.com Posted Mar 4, 2008	Slings & Arrows - The Complete Collection (2003-2006)	n/a
	"That final scene. Last week, CNN asked -- in "The Screening Room's Top 10 Romantic Moments" -- whether this was the most touching film moment of all time. Could be. Either way, if it doesn't move you, you're beyond human reach." -- Film.com Posted Mar 4, 2008	City Lights (1931)	100%
	"*...this one's the Taj Mahal, Armstrong's footprint on the moon, the 2001 Arizona-New York World Series, the Clash's London Calling, and the perfect foamy head on an expertly poured Guinness." -- Film.com* Posted Mar 4, 2008	Singin' in the Rain (1952)	100%
	"Shortbus is not, above all, 'dirty.' What it is, in fact, is a nice movie, one of the nicest to come down the pike since March of the Penguins." -- Film.com Posted Mar 4, 2008	Shortbus (2006)	65%
	"*Every time Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart connect in a scene, we hear the happy ding!* of quality champagne crystal.*" -- Film.com* Posted Mar 4, 2008	The Philadelphia Story (1940)	100%
	"It's no classic, but it did prompt me to watch those great old Ealing Alec Guinness comedies again." -- Film.com Posted Mar 4, 2008	Death at a Funeral (2007)	62%
	"Beatles aficionados should leap on these raw performances -- shot live with no studio post-production gloss, only the boys in their rare natural state -- as primary documents from the pre-Revolver, pre-Sgt. Pepper years...." -- Film.com Posted Feb 9, 2008	Beatles - Ed Sullivan Presents the Beatles: 4 Complete Shows (1964,1965)	n/a
	"...it's always a pleasure to watch this ensemble of gifted talents do what they do best -- be spontaneous and funny and surprising. What we get is a master-class demonstration of the distinction between comic actors and comedians who try to act." -- Film.com Posted Feb 8, 2008	Best in Show (2000)	94%
	"...an impressive, funny urban comedy of manners from a suitably distinctive voice that I hope we'll hear again soon." -- Film.com Posted Feb 5, 2008	2 Days In Paris (2007)	87%
	"*...an anti-The Graduate* ... an essential film from and about America in the dying days of the '60s, yet the modernism of its style and ambitions makes Petulia impressively ahead of that time.*" -- Film.com* Posted Jan 25, 2008	Petulia (1968)	91%
	"*If Philip K. Dick had worked for Mad* magazine, he might have come up with The President's Analyst.*" -- Film.com* Posted Jan 18, 2008	The President's Analyst (1967)	81%
	"...will probably find a welcome reception among the nominal "family values" audience, but they deserve "nice" and "decent" movies that offer more engaging and challenging fare than this..." -- Film.com Posted Jan 15, 2008	Saving Sarah Cain (2007)	n/a
	"The duplicated scenes from A New Hope are so shot-for-shot faithful that the whole project feels boxed in by its reverence rather than freed up to cut loose with the fearless bravado that we tune into Family Guy for." -- Film.com Posted Jan 15, 2008	Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest (2007)	n/a
	"*What isn't forgivable, though, is being boring, and Good Luck Chuck* has all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet.** " -- Film.com Posted Jan 15, 2008	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%
	"*...brings to mind the fondly remembered Kentucky Fried Movie/Amazon Women on the Moon* anthos from the '70s and '80s.*" -- Film.com* Posted Jan 15, 2008	The Ten (2007)	39%
	"*Bacon, as usual, is very good even when he's slumming, and as a trashy B-movie redo of Death Wish* the movie works well enough for a Saturday afternoon with a case of brewskies.*" -- Film.com* Posted Jan 8, 2008	Death Sentence (2007)	17%
	"...a bewildering extension rather than a retread of this played-out subgenre." -- Film.com Posted Jan 8, 2008	Joshua (2007)	62%
	"Fincher, more subdued ... and aching for a return to smart suspense films from the likes of Sidney Lumet and Alan J. Pakula, pulls us by the collar into the frame and cranks the sense of menace taut without cheap tricks or cop-out gimmicks." -- Film.com Posted Jan 8, 2008	Zodiac (2007)	89%
	"Mangold's film is more than sufficiently subtexty and cynical for our modern sensibilities while simultaneously embracing Mangold's obvious pleasure in the Westerns' time-honored swinging saloon doors and stern masculine traditions." -- Film.com Posted Jan 8, 2008	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
	"...an affectionate, often very funny Simpsons parody of its whole eponymous genre. It's a live-action McBane as co-directed by Quentin Tarantino and Chuck Jones.... Shoot 'Em Up is Hot Fuzz gone to the Dark Side." -- Film.com Posted Jan 2, 2008	Shoot 'Em Up (2007)	66%
	"Director Anthony Harvey opened up Goldman's play into authentic spaces far from any proscenium, and remained faithful to an energetic drama propelled by its performances and dialogue." -- Film.com Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Lion in Winter (1968)	95%
	"Once doesn't plop its emotions on its characters' sleeves, and it trusts us enough to leave some of the best stuff unstated. In other words, it trusts us to know that half the music lies between the notes." -- Film.com Posted Dec 19, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
	"*Like the star that falls to Earth near the beginning of the movie, Stardust* is glittery and pretty and possesses its own pleasing-enough personality, but it won't set the world on fire.*" -- Film.com* Posted Dec 19, 2007	Stardust (2007)	76%
	"There are, after all, aimed at young audiences plenty of movies more mean-spirited, indiscriminate and obnoxious than The Last Legion. But at the same time there are plenty that are, alas, less frustrating." -- Film.com Posted Dec 17, 2007	The Last Legion (2007)	17%
N/A	"...I chatted with David X. Cohen, who, besides being a creative force behind Futurama, holds a physics degree from Harvard, where he wrote for and served as president of the Harvard Lampoon, and a master's in computer science from Berkeley." -- Film.com Posted Nov 30, 2007	Futurama the Movie: Bender's Big Score (2007)	100%
	"...one of many reasons to love Junebug is how often it offers us spaces to fill in ourselves, the faith it shows in handing us small puzzles -- Eugene's hand-carved bird, for instance -- to chuckle over or think on afterward." -- Film.com Posted Nov 30, 2007	Junebug (2005)	87%
	"Waitress is not a perfectly cut, factory-line Safeway-brand slice. It does, though, serve up a generous deep-dish portion, homemade and heartfelt, that leaves a sweet taste goes down." -- Film.com Posted Nov 28, 2007	Waitress (2007)	89%
	"It's not a great film, but we sure enjoyed it more than many bigger films that try harder to convince us they're great." -- Film.com Posted Nov 21, 2007	Colma: The Musical (2007)	90%
N/A	"For instance at one of the early script readings there was this Indian woman who said, 'We love your script, but an Indian woman, she would never do this.' Then a younger Indian woman stood up and said, 'Oh, yes we would!'" -- Film.com Posted Nov 20, 2007	Outsourced (2007)	76%
	"*Think of Stephen as a softer, rounder, more existentially content Spalding Gray, or the film as a My Dinner with Andre* in a pullover sweater and sensible shoes.*" -- Film.com* Posted Nov 20, 2007	Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party (2006)	100%
	"For casual viewers, the whole thing has a retro charm. For Beatles fans, it's a flawed but essential film." -- Film.com Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Beatles - Help! (1965)	90%
	"...even if we aren't pumping our fists in the air, we're rooting for the characters with an agreeable 'namaste' vibe that feels earned rather than forced upon us. " -- Film.com Posted Nov 12, 2007	Outsourced (2007)	76%
	"It's poorly written, cheesily acted, low-budget, and completely camp, but because it's Corman it's a touch ahead of its ilk thanks to some clever lines and flavorful directing. Utterly ridiculous but lovable." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Sep 18, 2007	The Wasp Woman (1960)	40%
	"Camp value is provided by a truckload of 1950s B-movie cliches and dreadful song breaks -- "The Gila Monster Crawl" among other "rock & roll hits" -- by its lead, Don Sullivan, who through this movie rose from nothing to complete obscurity." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Sep 18, 2007	The Giant Gila Monster (1959)	13%
	"What makes it work is charismatic Caine and the witty, intelligent script. Both work together to keep this remorseless bastard who uses and hurts women from being completely unlikable or unsympathetic." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Jul 25, 2007	Alfie (1966)	100%
	"...our own human interior was revealed, like a Jacques Cousteau travelogue, in screen-filling vistas of surreal canals and chambers filled with floating psychedelia and the amorphous Jell-O colors of a Jimi Hendrix concert." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Jun 3, 2007	Fantastic Voyage (1966)	91%
	"It's a suspense-thriller-romance steeped in Hollywood's best influences and 'gimmicks,' yet it's crafted with enough looming European 'art-house' style to topple Fritz Lang into an existential funk." -- DVDJournal.com Posted May 29, 2007	The Third Man (1949)	100%
	"*...the duo's best film, Bedazzled* brought the spirit of Swinging London plus impudent pokes at religion, politics, and pop culture itself to their new audiences.*" -- DVDJournal.com* Posted Apr 8, 2007	Stanley Donen's Bedazzled (1967)	80%
	"...holds its own against Russell Crowe's CGI expeditions from topsail to yardarm, and this one has more plot." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Mar 5, 2007	Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951)	n/a
	"...enjoyable corn in the 'Classics Illustrated' tradition. You can't believe a minute of it, but neither can you ignore its rollicking bygone Hollywood charms." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Mar 5, 2007	The Three Musketeers (1948)	71%
	"There's not a masterpiece among them, but each is sufficiently enjoyable to the suitably minded.... upholds Criterion's reputation for well-made and authoritative extras supporting the main attraction." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Mar 5, 2007	Monsters And Madmen (1958-1959)	n/a
	"...a musty but good-looking production, with Karloff splendid as the devoted surgeon pulled asunder by his own experiments and exploited by the underworld gang of tavern low-lifes who trick him into officializing their corpses-for-profit scheme." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Mar 5, 2007	Corridors of Blood (1958)	n/a
	"[Boris Karloff is] again near the top of his game as the best thing about this slow but effective Victorian who-actually-done-it." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Mar 5, 2007	The Haunted Strangler (1958)	n/a
