7/10
 
" If A Scanner Darkly doesn't match Waking Life's wonderfully fluid meditation on the nature of existence, it's still a remarkable visual experience and an involving drama -- albeit one that takes a while to wrap your head around."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
A Scanner Darkly (2006)67%

7/10
 
" In all, V for Vendetta is a provocative film, not least because it's sometimes unclear what reactions it should be provoking."

V For Vendetta (2005)73%

7/10
 
" This is an informative film about an important issue."

Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders (2007)88%

8/10
 
" It has some sly laughs (and a few wrenching moments, including one distressed voicemail message) and a sharp ear for how people (awkwardly) communicate."

LOL (2006)100%

" Like the Cleveland Indians in the playoffs, The OH in Ohio is a missed opportunity."

" There isn't a scene in The King that doesn't work, and it all adds up to something rare: a film that doesn't cheat, and that may turn off some but will leave others, ahem, all shook up."

8/10
 
" This a rare film about social status in which the bourgeoisie is seen in three dimensions, with discreet charm."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
7/10
 
" The film never feels simply like an accusatory diatribe; it's a sincere examination of the most important pop music of our time. Beyond Beats and Rhymes is rap food for thought."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
Beyond Beats and Rhymes: A Hip-Hop Head Weighs in on Manhood in Hip-Hop Culture (2006)n/a
/
8/10
 
" The movie is a mix of gritty realism and fable, and director Mark Dornford-May finds many ways to place the story in a contemporary setting."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
Son of Man (2006)n/a
/
8/10
 
" About as definitive a chronicle of American punk as we're likely to get."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
American Hardcore (2006)73%
/
8/10
 
" A wry examination of quiet desperation, the film boasts rich performances and a nice topographical map of skid row."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
Factotum (2006)75%

7/10
 
" A solid drama about how a traumatic incident affects a once-joyous relationship."

6/10
 
" Filmmakers Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin capture concert performances so powerful, so joyful, that most objections can be overlooked."
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
Pixies - LoudQUIETLoud: A Film About the Pixies (2006)67%

8/10
 
" A comedy for our troubled, intensely partisan times"
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
Thank You For Smoking (2006)86%
/
6/10
 
" The film has its share of pleasures, particularly as a wry satire of how arbitrarily the art world selects its favorites for reasons that can have little to do with the art itself."
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
Art School Confidential (2006)36%

8/10
 
" Equally fanciful and haunting."
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
The Science of Sleep (2006)69%
/
8/10
 
" The film builds to a stunningly funny climax, one that is a moment of familial growth without an ounce of schmaltz."
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)92%

4/10
 
" The visual representation of gruesome death makes this black comedy a bit hard to stomach."
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
The Darwin Awards (2006)25%

10/10
 
" One of the wildest and bloodiest odysseys in recent cinema."
Posted Oct 9, 2006
 
The Proposition (2006)86%

4/10
 
" Visually arresting but dramatically inert, Battle in Heaven is the very definition of a difficult film. The question is whether such difficulty is ultimately rewarding."

9/10
 
" The best comedians are remarkable for their ability to express things that most people wouldn't dare say. What separates Cohen is his ability to get these people to speak the words themselves, uncensored."

5/10
 
" Truman Capote is good company, and for much of Infamous' running time, that's enough to hold our attention."
