3.5/4
 
"Scene by scene, Zodiac is the director's most visually restrained work to date, taking its cue from the mostly functional mise-en-scène of the police procedural..." -- Las Vegas Weekly
Posted Oct 15, 2007
 
Zodiac (2007)89%
/
 
"A cautionary eco-doc so earnest and moth-eaten it should properly be seen on filmstrip during fourth-period social studies." -- Village Voice
Posted Aug 14, 2007
 
The 11th Hour (2007)66%
/
 
"I can't see how anybody, no matter how keen to preserve a positive self-image, could fail to identify with Time, [director] Kim's cheerfully lunatic allegory about two young lovers." -- Village Voice
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
Time (2007)81%
/
3/5
 
"But in order to enjoy the movie, you have to accept the fact that it's a gauzy, pop-morose mood piece, not a character study or history lesson." -- Las Vegas Weekly
Posted Oct 20, 2006
 
Marie Antoinette (2006)54%
/
3/5
 
"The facts are banal, the inventions lackluster." -- Las Vegas Weekly

Posted Aug 7, 2006
 
Scoop (2006)37%
/
3.5/5
 
"Part of the fun is the way that Marshall strives to make his outlandish scenario at least marginally plausible ..." -- Las Vegas Weekly

The Descent (2006)84%
/
2.5/5
 
"We want comic adventure and Deppian eccentricity, and wind up with regrettably little of either." -- Las Vegas Weekly

/
2.5/5

Posted Jun 30, 2006
 
Superman Returns (2006)77%
/
2/5

Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
3.5/5
 
"Inside Man seems less interested in Case's ancient war crimes than in the contemporary spectacle of a Sikh hostage having his turban forcibly removed by the NYPD ..." -- Las Vegas Weekly

Inside Man (2006)86%
/
2.5/5
 
"Lucky Number Slevin can't boast of a single interesting or novel idea, but it did hold my attention throughout ..." -- Las Vegas Weekly

Posted Oct 31, 2003
 
Charlotte Sometimes (2002)82%
/
84/100
 
"What makes Adaptation more than just a clever stunt is the way that Laroche's fickle enthusiasm, Orlean's quiet longing and "Kaufman"'s paralyzing self-doubt dovetail to form a potent, funny-sad disquisition on the value of compromise." -- Man Who Viewed Too Much
Posted Dec 1, 2002
 
Adaptation (2002)90%
/
63/100
 
"Whatever else one might say of Soderbergh and Clooney, they understand that clout is something you exercise, not something you safeguard." -- Time Out New York
Posted Nov 25, 2002
 
Solaris (2002)64%
/
48/100
 
"Even on those rare occasions when the narrator stops yammering, Miller's hand often feels unsure." -- Time Out New York
Posted Nov 19, 2002
 
Personal Velocity (2002)69%
/
66/100
 
"At heart, it's a sick, scandalous joke, but you can't quite bring yourself to laugh at something so deeply felt and so gravely elegant." -- Time Out New York
Posted Nov 19, 2002
 
Talk to Her (2002)92%
/
57/100
 
"Once again, Chris Columbus stays out of J.K. Rowling's way, sticking to the text and hitting each narrative beat cleanly and vigorously." -- Time Out New York
Posted Nov 11, 2002
 
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)82%
/
67/100
 
"Visually ravishing, subtly provocative, both entertainment and dissertation." -- Time Out New York
Posted Nov 4, 2002
 
Far From Heaven (2002)91%
/
80/100
 
"Slowly but surely devolves into a fascinating, cringe-inducing portrait of cultural solipsism, climaxing in an emotional meltdown that wouldn't look out of place in mid-period Cassavetes." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 28, 2002
 
American Experience - Daughter from Danang (2002)97%
/
48/100

Posted Oct 28, 2002
 
Love in the Time of Money (2002)19%
/
66/100
 
"As an introduction to the man's theories and influence, Derrida is all but useless; as a portrait of the artist as an endlessly inquisitive old man, however, it's invaluable." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 21, 2002
 
Derrida (2002)82%
/
70/100
 
"It's a movie dominated by conversation yet devoid of theatricality or staginess: a pictorial gabfest." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 21, 2002
 
Roger Dodger (2002)88%
/
60/100
 
"Evokes a palpable sense of disconnection, made all the more poignant by the incessant use of cell phones." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 14, 2002
 
Take Care of My Cat (2001)81%
/
41/100
 
"Combines the least appealing aspects of the biopic (episodic narrative, lack of imagination) with the least appealing aspects of the junkie's-downward-spiral genre (wearying repetition, lofty condescension)." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 14, 2002
 
Auto Focus (2002)73%
/
63/100
 
"Boasts a real heart-stopper of a finale—an uncanny phosphor nightmare that depicts a marrow-deep fear shared by every kid who grew up in the video age." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 14, 2002
 
The Ring (2002)72%
/
61/100
 
"Rises and falls on the strength of its individual episodes. Mostly, it rises, though its extreme length ill suits its anecdotal structure (or perhaps vice versa)." -- Time Out New York
Posted Oct 7, 2002
 
Safe Conduct (2002)75%
/
38/100
 
"A singularly off-putting romantic comedy." -- Time Out New York
Posted Sep 30, 2002
 
Pipe Dream (2002)72%
/
69/100
 
"Far more successful, if considerably less ambitious, than last year's Kubrick-meets-Spielberg exercise." -- Time Out New York
Posted Sep 30, 2002
 
Heaven (2002)73%
/
63/100
 
"Has few rivals as a work of visual imagination." -- Time Out New York
Posted Sep 22, 2002
 
Spirited Away (2002)97%
/
35/100
 
"An artsploitation movie with too much exploitation and too little art." -- Time Out New York
Posted Sep 16, 2002
 
Ted Bundy (2002)38%
/
18/100
 
"Impenetrable pseudo-philosophical gibberish." -- Time Out New York
Posted Sep 3, 2002
 
In Praise of Love (2001)53%
/
50/100
 
"Suffers from a schematic, overdetermined rigidity, as if screenwriter Ken Hixon had plotted the scenario on graph paper before setting it down in type." -- Time Out New York
Posted Sep 3, 2002
 
City by the Sea (2002)48%
/
47/100
 
"Sometimes feels uncomfortably like a 93-minute Photoshop demonstration." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 26, 2002
 
Corpus Callosum (2002)57%
/
60/100
 
"A lean, surprisingly artful programmer, closer in spirit to something like Don Siegel's Riot in Cell Block 11 than to typical boxing fare." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 22, 2002
 
Undisputed (2002)47%
/
29/100
 
"Its juxtaposition of overwrought existentialism and stomach-churning gore will have you forever on the verge of either cracking up or throwing up." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 19, 2002
 
The Isle (2002)75%
/
49/100
 
"Sy is so deeply disturbed that, paradoxically, he isn't very disturbing." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 19, 2002
 
One Hour Photo (2002)81%
/
44/100
 
"In the real world, an actor this uncharismatically beautiful would have a résumé loaded with credits like "Girl in Bar #3."" -- Time Out New York

S1m0ne (2002)50%

"A magnificent fairy tale." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 12, 2002
 
Beauty and the Beast (1946)95%
/
65/100
 
"Aggressively uneven and frequently humdrum, it also reaches cheerfully ludicrous heights to which few films even aspire." -- Time Out New York

Happiness of the Katakuris (2001)65%
/
64/100
 
"Anybody who's ever been turned on by someone's use of an unfamiliar word will understand." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 12, 2002
 
Possession (2002)64%
/
43/100
 
"A perfectly competent potboiler, made with Eastwood's usual professionalism, that ultimately feels rather anemic." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 6, 2002
 
Blood Work (2002)56%
/
46/100
 
"An empty, incoherent exercise in frenetic style, interesting primarily for its cosmopolitan flavor." -- Time Out New York
Posted Aug 5, 2002
 
The City of Lost Souls (2000)58%
/
48/100
 
"Every potential twist is telegraphed well in advance, every performance respectably muted; the movie itself seems to have been made under the influence of Rohypnol." -- Time Out New York
