0.5/4
 
"The inanity is harmless, thoroughly predictable and ultimately disposable." -- Los Angeles Times

Beer League (2006)29%

1.5/4
 
"The Covenant is just a copycat." -- Newsday

"[A] frothy, occasionally charming romantic comedy." -- Newsday

Queens (aka Reinas) (2006)43%
/
3.5/4
 
"Unlike most 'feel-good' films in this genre, Invincible isn't blatantly manipulative, and works so well because it is, in fact, understated." -- Newsday
Posted Aug 24, 2006
 
Invincible (2006)71%

0/4
 
"Madonna's anthem was only good-naturedly arrogant, but the SoCal twins, like the film's script, are arrogant, ghastly immature and offensive to any audience that isn't all of the above." -- Newsday

"A bad dream leads to constant conscious nightmares in this wacky, surreal creepshow from over-the-edge Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer." -- Newsday
Posted Aug 12, 2006
 
Lunacy (2006)67%
/
1.5/4
 
"By fade out, the movie has run out of air: the quick, clever dialogue flattens out and it becomes contrived." -- Newsday
Posted Aug 12, 2006
 
Conversation(s) with Other Women (2006)73%
/
0.5/4
 
"More disconcerting is the idea put forward that self-indulgence is a substitute for structured education, or, more to the point, that it's a substitute for life." -- Los Angeles Times

"The director of Zoom is Peter Hewitt, who also directed Garfield. Nothing more to say about that." -- Newsday

Zoom (2006)2%

2.5/4
 
"A whole bunch of great racing footage would've ratcheted up Nights a notch or two -- see Cars for inspiration -- but even the track scenes are ... well, pedestrian." -- Newsday
Posted Aug 3, 2006
 
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)72%
/
1/4
 
"The Descent doesn't need to exist: a script that goes beyond outlandish. Actors who'd flunk out of Make Believe 101. Blind creatures that see things. Did we mention continuity?" -- Newsday
Posted Aug 3, 2006
 
The Descent (2006)84%
/
3/4
 
"Luc's transformation from ant destructor to ant protector illustrates a lesson told many times before, but rarely with such down-to-earth charm." -- Newsday
Posted Jul 27, 2006
 
The Ant Bully (2006)63%
/
2.5/4
 
"Billed as film noir, but because it lacks any subtlety and accentuates gratuitous violence that is more in-your-face than it is implied, the movie is about as noir-ish as Rocky." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jul 21, 2006
 
Shadowboxer (2006)20%
/
2/4
 
"When the fat lady finally sings -- the filmmakers turn up the volume and the visuals explode. It's these sensations, and not necessarily the content, that might overwhelm some youngsters." -- Newsday
Posted Jul 20, 2006
 
Monster House (2006)73%
/
.5/4
 
"Eventually, the oh's becomes 'zzzzzz's.'" -- Newsday

The Oh in Ohio (2006)21%
/
2.5/4
 
"Told in a breezy, fast-cut style, and backed by a boisterous soundtrack that ranges from Puccini to James Brown, Lifetime focuses on the players -- on the field and off -- that made the Cosmos such a super, if short-lived, team." -- Newsday
Posted Jul 6, 2006
 
Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006)84%
/
0/4
 
"Quickly, no taste leads to bad taste, and dumb leads to dumber." -- Newsday
Posted Jun 28, 2006
 
Strangers With Candy (2006)51%
/
2/4
 
"Reality and make-believe get more than mixed: They get muddled." -- Newsday
Posted Jun 23, 2006
 
The Road to Guantanamo (2006)86%
/
2.5/4
 
"Walken is so adept and natural as Sandler's guiding light -- and his tormentor -- that he seems to be ad-libbing. It's an artful, endearing performance." -- Newsday
Posted Jun 22, 2006
 
Click (2006)32%
/
1/4
 
"The film is gritty and graphic, with 'artsy' takes where the camera holds on a motionless actor. But art it isn't." -- Newsday
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
Lower City (2006)60%
/
1/4
 
"There's so much ill-conceived fluff floating about the 'elusive true love' themes that by the finish, Ethan Green hasn't as much substance as a good Looney Tunes." -- Newsday
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green (2006)22%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's a tasty sonic apertif to an unfamiliar world, and likely to inspire more than a few folks to make a beeline for the world music browser at the music store." -- Newsday
