"What kind of movie is it where Yasmine Bleeth is the best thing about it?" -- Washington Post

"Skirts stalker cliches and grown-up-kid-in-a-man's-body caricatures." -- Washington Post

"The young actresses Graham and Wagner here create two characters who feel whole, distinct and weighty." -- Washington Post

"With its wise understanding of the magnetic pull (and invisible polarities) of family, Junebug is an auspicious debut for Morrison." -- Washington Post

Junebug (2005)87%

"Maybe not terrible so much as terminally silly." -- Washington Post

"As sweet as it is dirty." -- Washington Post

Lila Says (2005)69%

"Tailored for the readership of Teen People magazine and about as thought-provoking as the average 500-word celebrity profile." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 25, 2005
 
Undiscovered (2005)6%

"Filthy, funny and sweet in equal measure." -- Washington Post

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)84%

"It's so well told that you'll be biting your nails until the film's final few minutes." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 18, 2005
 
The Tunnel (2005)83%

"Plays more like a philosophical debate than a war drama." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 18, 2005
 
The Ninth Day (2005)82%
/
 
"I know it's all about erotic obsession, not logic. Still, it's just so darn annoying to watch this attractive, seemingly smart woman throw her life away for some (admittedly rather hot) sex in the greenhouse." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 18, 2005
 
Asylum (2005)37%
/
 
"A movie that, like its heroine, is lithe, limber and quick-thinking. Like a triple latte from the airport Starbucks, Red Eye will keep you awake, jittery and perched on the edge of your seat for pretty much the entire flight." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 18, 2005
 
Red Eye (2005)78%
/
 
"Too dependent on a knowledge of RAF-inspired cinematic derring-do like '633 Squadron' (or at least Hogan's Heroes) for the average tyke, yet too tepid for their taller counterparts, Valiant is ultimately one strange bird." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 18, 2005
 
Valiant (2005)31%
/
 
"Under normal circumstances, nothing kills a joke faster than trying to explain it. Yet here, such examination is the film's strong suit and provides much-needed respite, quite frankly, from the exhaustion of constant laughter." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 12, 2005
 
The Aristocrats (2005)80%
/
 
"If Four Brothers spent half as much energy making us feel something for its heroes as it spent making us feel nothing for their victims, it would be a far better, and far more engaging, film." -- Washington Post
Posted Aug 12, 2005
 
Four Brothers (2005)52%

"With this latest exercise in cynicism, however, it's not Deuce's satisfied clientele, but the audience, that gets the shaft." -- Washington Post

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)11%

"The dialogue is often drowned out by engine noise." -- Washington Post

"Complicated? Yes. Potentially heavy? Sure. But it's also highly engrossing and, in a dark way, ultimately rather sweet." -- Washington Post

Happy Endings (2005)58%

"A blend of gentle comedy and poignant drama." -- Washington Post

"Plays like a piece of mediocre music, gorgeously rendered." -- Washington Post
Posted Jul 14, 2005
 
The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005)85%
/
 
"[The climax] involves such a disturbing blend of unhealthy mother-son affection and physical pain that it gives new meaning to the term child -- not to mention audience -- abuse." -- Washington Post
Posted Jul 7, 2005
 
Ma Mere (2005)12%
/
 
"There's something that never quite works about the film, which can't seem to decide if it's all in Dahlia's head, all in the spirit world or all in her pipes." -- Washington Post
Posted Jul 7, 2005
 
Dark Water (2005)45%

"War of the Worlds is taut, gripping and surprisingly dark filmmaking." -- Washington Post

"It's fascinating, like watching the collapse of a building in reverse." -- Washington Post

"I remember that I actually did laugh, once. I just can't remember what I laughed at." -- Washington Post

Rebound (2005)13%

"This Herbie is loaded all right. Unfortunately, it's with spare parts from dozens of other equally mediocre underdog sports films." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 24, 2005
 
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)41%
/
 
"There's no real joy in this undertaking, which seems to prize grossing out the members of its audience above freaking them out." -- Washington Post

George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)74%

"A laugh riot it is not. A sweet, true and, at times, universal love story it is." -- Washington Post

Happily Ever After (2005)57%

"The movie doesn't even seem to know how disturbing, at its heart, its subject matter is, so that it can at least have fun with it." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 16, 2005
 
The Perfect Man (2005)5%

"It works, but just barely (no pun intended, considering all the nudity)." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 10, 2005
 
Torremolinos 73 (2005)72%

"A sweet and funny take on the crossed-wire romantic couplings of A Midsummer Night's Dream." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 10, 2005
 
Eating Out (2005)16%
/
 
"Speaking of enchantment, that's the ultimate thing missing from Howl's Moving Castle. That and soul." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 10, 2005
 
Howl's Moving Castle (2005)85%
/
 
"A kicky, twisted thrill ride, with enough laughs to leaven what can be read, at heart, as a metaphor for the modern marriage." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 9, 2005
 
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005)59%
/
 
"Its point is this: That every nation, like a family, is made up of many people who are often at odds with one another, but that ultimately, we are all one." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 3, 2005
 
The Best of Youth (2005)95%
/
 
"Lords of Dogtown isn't a cop-out, but rather an ever-so-slight concession to commercialism, while Dogtown and Z-Boys was, above all else, a love song to the counterculture." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 3, 2005
 
Lords of Dogtown (2005)55%
/
 
"Entertaining portrait of a volatile but effective educator." -- Washington Post
Posted Jun 2, 2005
 
Rock School (2005)82%

"The pleasure is entirely like eating cake made from cake mix. It's not like you don't know how it's going to turn out, or how it tasted the last time you ate it." -- Washington Post
