4/5	"Delightfully unpredictable." Posted Jul 25, 2008	Baghead (2008)	87%
3/5	"The kids' mistakes make you cringe -- often with laughs of recognition -- and, during the film's most involving moments, makes you long to comfort them through their trials and cheer on their triumphs." Posted Jul 25, 2008	American Teen (2008)	67%
2/5	"There's probably not enough fuel beyond cute chimps in Candyland to achieve orbit for the kids." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	37%
1.5/5	"*Thanks to natural selection, without the script, direction or comedic chops to survive, Homo Erectus* will be extinct from theaters soon enough.*" Posted Jul 11, 2008*	National Lampoon's Homo Erectus (2008)	n/a
3/5	"As obvious as the film's uncredited sources are, it's a pleasant-enough diversion with a notable song score." Posted Jul 3, 2008	Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008)	100%
3.5/5	"It appeals to kids while evoking genuine emotion without excessive sentimentality." Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3/5	"A heaping helping of political incorrectness gleefully spiced to offend just about every sentient being." Posted Jun 13, 2008	Poultrygeist (2008)	68%
2/5	"More disastrous than disaster movie." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Polar Opposites (2008)	n/a
2/5	"The film tries to be a cautionary tale against corporate interference in both the environment and technology, but it really serves as a warning beacon against enervated staging and ineffectual dialogue." Posted Jun 6, 2008	Solar Flare (2008)	n/a
4/5	"Shotgun Stories is a cautionary tale about revenge, but more than that, it is a beautiful, authentic-feeling portrait of a family and a place." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Shotgun Stories (2007)	89%
4/5	"Zombie Strippers is a B-movie whose ideas and wit set it well above the great unwashed of the genre." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	39%
2/5	"With its emphasis on its interweaving stories, the movie offers no commentary on the phenomenon of increasingly pried-apart privacy, positive or negative." Posted Dec 14, 2007	Look (2007)	61%
3/5	"*Dang it, the little animated rodents are cute. Not as cute as the über-rendered daemons of The Golden Compass, but they'll do." Posted Dec 14, 2007*	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
3/5	"Making her feature debut after several documentaries, Parmar displays rookie jitters with excessive cutting and camera moves whose restlessness occasionally recalls Mumbai soap operas." Posted Nov 21, 2007	Nina's Heavenly Delights (2007)	6%
1.5/5	"Even after appropriately lowering expectations, it's kind to call this one a cut below." Posted Sep 7, 2007	Hatchet (2007)	46%
2/5	"Self-Medicated must have been cathartic for writer-director-producer-star Monty Lapica to make, but its therapeutic value for audiences is questionable." Posted Aug 31, 2007	Self-Medicated (2007)	35%
3/5	"*Though it's no Romeo and Juliet, David & Layla* is an offbeat cross-cultural romance with a positive message.*" Posted Jul 19, 2007*	David & Layla (2008)	53%
2.5/5	"The film is passionately made, but its unapologetically romantic views of war and the Old South leave a bitter aftertaste." Posted Jun 8, 2007	The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams (2005)	n/a
4/5	"Documentarians Ricki Stein and Annie Sundberg do a good job of explaining, through [interviewee] Steidle, the complex conflicts in the region." Posted Jun 1, 2007	The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)	98%
1.5/5	"*This movie abruptly becomes a too-convenient black history lesson, complete with a truly egregious deus ex machina. The Salon* is a cut below.*" Posted May 11, 2007*	The Salon (2005)	13%
3.5/5	"Rock the Bells is stressful to watch, but its entertaining stage performances and document of people under pressure should interest even non-rap fans." Posted May 4, 2007	Rock the Bells (2007)	83%
4/5	"The real savagery is in the satire, coldly measuring the lengths to which contestants might go and the depths to which the protagonists sink." Posted Apr 27, 2007	American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006)	62%
2/5	"*A zillionaire collects 10 hard cases from death rows around the world (how about that, even Running Man* rip-offs are being outsourced).*" Posted Apr 27, 2007*	The Condemned (2007)	15%
3.5/5	"An often-fascinating document of change -- incremental as evaporation, or catastrophic as flooding." Posted Apr 19, 2007	Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2007)	95%
3.5/5	"Hair High is not for everyone, but it's not like anything else out right now." Posted Apr 12, 2007	Hair High (2006)	78%
1/5	"*This one is an instant Mystery Science Theatre 3000* classic, ideal for watching on TV with loud friends.*" Posted Apr 12, 2007*	Pathfinder (2007)	11%
2/5	"Writer-director-producer Glen Stephens does occasionally have grim fun, but something as irredeemably sadistic as this packaged as entertainment is almost depressing." Posted Apr 9, 2007	Hoboken Hollow (2005)	n/a
3/5	"A worthy genre entry and certainly better than most recent horror movies -- thanks mostly to its lead." Posted Apr 5, 2007	The Reaping (2007)	8%
2/5	"Despite the doll-like cartoonishness of the human figures (O Pixar, what hast thou wrought?), the filmmakers seem to expect us to take this animated romp seriously. Too seriously." Posted Mar 23, 2007	TMNT (2007)	33%
2/5	"The film is clearly well-meaning but hampered by the heavy-handed direction of Robert Shaye and egregious use of James Horner's score, constantly cuing the warming of the heart." Posted Mar 23, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
2/5	"The film and its makers simply try too hard. Director and co-writer Judy Hecht Dumontet can't stop 'helping' with overactive editing and scoring." Posted Mar 16, 2007	Tortilla Heaven (2007)	33%
3.5/5	"Behind the Mask is original and weirdly delicious, and executed with gory aplomb." Posted Mar 15, 2007	Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007)	72%
4/5	"A rare glimpse of everyday life in Cuba, where big questions and obstacles confront the rappers at seemingly every turn." Posted Mar 8, 2007	East of Havana (2007)	80%
2/5	"*The genre usually gets the super-slick, smash-cutting, roving-camera treatment, but Full of It* feels oddly low key despite the fantastical elements. Some pre-fab parts don't quite fit together.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	Full of It (2007)	6%
3/5	"The choices made by the characters are sure to infuriate some, but at least they add to the discussion." Posted Jan 26, 2007	G.I. Jesus (2006)	50%
2.5/5	"Any movie that starts in a wax-fruit factory can't be all bad." Posted Jan 26, 2007	Funny Money (2006)	43%
	"Aronson's film is a fond portrait, loaded with bizarre, haunting music and Smith's off-kilter inspirations." Posted Jan 18, 2007	Danielson: A Family Movie (2006)	43%
1.5/5	"There's athleticism and frenetic artistry here, but the film's attempts to make busting moves seem dramatic are about as effective as the hilarious chess-piece slamming in Searching for Bobby Fisher." Posted Jan 11, 2007	Stomp the Yard (2007)	27%
3/5	"Code Name: The Cleaner offers no surprises but is good-natured and funny." Posted Jan 4, 2007	Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)	4%

3/5	"The ultimate benefit of shining a bright light on this darkness may be to achieve a sense of closure for descendants of the victims, but that may be justification enough." Posted Dec 8, 2006	Screamers (2006)	66%
1/5	"The film's incompetence is not limited to the writing, acting and directing. There are jarring jump cuts and continuity errors, and a laugh-out-loud eyeline mishap during a supposedly intimate conversation. One keeps expecting a boom mike to peek out." Posted Nov 30, 2006	Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006)	8%
2/5	"*There is undeniable heart in Living the Dream, with its implicit criticism of mercenary values, but its world is populated solely by hustlers, recruiters and salesmen with nothing to sell." Posted Nov 24, 2006*	Living the Dream (2006)	0%
1.5/5	"Because the movie can't bring itself to take that leap into full-on absurdity, the characters and comic opportunities stay confined to their cells." Posted Nov 20, 2006	Let's Go to Prison (2006)	8%
4/5	"The slang, the modes of dress, even the styles of fighting all have a high degree of specificity that lifts the movie above most urban crime dramas." Posted Nov 10, 2006	Harsh Times (2006)	48%
3/5	"*The earnest minimalism of Masai* makes it an unusual moviegoing experience.*" Posted Nov 9, 2006*	Masai: The Rain Warriors (2006)	63%
2/5	"Fitfully interesting, but would have benefited from tighter focus and finer detail." Posted Nov 9, 2006	Commune (2006)	95%
2/5	"*More gore is really all III* has to offer.*" Posted Oct 30, 2006*	Saw III (2006)	27%
2/5	"El Cortez, like so many before it, searches for that nugget in the genre mine but just doesn't find it." Posted Oct 19, 2006	El Cortez ()	29%
3/5	"Entertaining, its concerns are current and it may empower viewers in its target community." Posted Oct 12, 2006	The Slanted Screen (2006)	n/a
