2.5/4	"Hunt has what it takes to direct; you can see it here, in small doses. In an arena filled largely with men, it will be interesting to see what she does next." Posted May 2, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	55%
1.5/4	"One thing Schwimmer does do right is keep the story moving swiftly. You're in, you're out, no harm done -- unless you want that hour and a half back." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
3.5/4	"Snow Angels will please steadfast [David Gordon] Green fans, even if its star power makes it seem as if he's been inching toward the mainstream all along." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
2/4	"A throw-your-hands-up, head-shaking disappointment." Posted Jul 13, 2007	Introducing The Dwights (2007)	52%
3/4	"A psychological thriller that's not only lovely to look at but also intriguing enough to keep you guessing until the end. And even then you may not have figured it out." Posted Jul 13, 2007	Joshua (2007)	62%
2/4	"A disturbing film trying to diguise itself as a quirky romantic comedy. There are indeed some laugh-out-loud moments; unfortunately most of the laughs are aimed at -- not with -- the misfits." Posted Jun 22, 2007	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	55%
2.5/4	"All the suspense and shock depends on [Cusack's] performance, how he reacts from minute to minute, and he does a terrific job under Mikael Hafstrom's direction." Posted Jun 22, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
3/4	"A three-paneled piece, where the strength lies in the detail work rather than the larger brushstrokes." Posted Jun 15, 2007	Golden Door (2007)	70%
4/4	"We can only take comfort in the little slice of heaven she left behind." Posted May 11, 2007	Waitress (2007)	88%
3/4	"Though Linney is the standout, short-shrift should not be given to the rest of the cast, whose roles might be smaller but they're the ones who add a little color to this otherwise dreary vista." Posted May 4, 2007	Jindabyne (2007)	65%
3.5/4	"Kasdan wisely doesn't make this about the big, bad bosses vs. the creative geniuses who won't compromise. It's a well-balanced look at a process, which, from the outside seems arbitrary and convoluted, but from the inside makes sense." Posted Apr 27, 2007	The TV Set (2007)	65%
2/4	"*What happens in The Condemned* is wrong on so many levels; it's sick, twisted, bloody and brutal, and yet it's compelling -- until its preposterousness busts at the seams.*" Posted Apr 27, 2007*	The Condemned (2007)	15%
2/4	"You start to think you're going to get a first-rate psychological thriller and instead you get third-rate schlock, with some legitimate scary moments but no insight into the motivation behind [Frank Whaley's character's] psychosis." Posted Apr 20, 2007	Vacancy (2007)	56%
3/4	"*Like a loyal pet, Firehouse Dog* ends up being a fun family experience all ages will enjoy.*" Posted Apr 5, 2007*	Firehouse Dog (2007)	38%
1/4	"'I can fix that,' Nick says each time a new problem arises in the house. How are we supposed to believe that when the filmmakers couldn't fix this poorly constructed sequel from its prefab origins?" Posted Apr 4, 2007	Are We Done Yet? (2007)	8%
3.5/4	"This film, like Melanie in her fitted suit and straight, blond ponytail, is a taut little affair, clocking in at a no-nonsense 85 minutes. She gets in, gets out, her work is done, much like her long-ago audition." Posted Mar 30, 2007	The Page Turner (2007)	77%
1.5/4	"*On the surface, it sounds like an E.T.* clone. Oh, if only. Where Steven Spielberg's 25-year-old masterpiece had heart to spare, Mimzy is an emotionless empty shell.*" Posted Mar 23, 2007*	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
3.5/4	"Though the film seems hurried in the last half hour -- most likely to get as much of the book covered as possible -- it still maintains a loveliness bridged by these two generations of Gangulis, whose disparate life experiences cannot bond them." Posted Mar 16, 2007	The Namesake (2007)	84%
	"Starter has a mature sensibility and ... [director] Vaughan is able to refrain from obvious characterizations." Posted Mar 9, 2007	Starter For 10 (2007)	89%
3/4	"The film is inspiring. When Wilberforce finally achieves victory, Lord Fox makes a speech, in which the opening words, sadly, still ring true today: 'When people think of great men, rarely do they think of peaceful men.'" Posted Feb 23, 2007	Amazing Grace (2007)	70%
3.5/4	"The use of multiple plots can be a dangerous exercise if not skillfully executed, making viewers feel cheated and wanting more, but Moncrieff works it out, ably shifting from one story to the next and keeping us satisfied with the open-ended outcomes." Posted Feb 9, 2007	The Dead Girl (2006)	74%
2/4	"There is potential all over this film, but every scene is overwrought with unfunny caricatures and tired jokes. We've seen every gimmick and sight gag before, in better, funnier films." Posted Feb 9, 2007	Norbit (2007)	9%
2.5/4	"With its lessons of faith, family loyalty and the power of the imagination, this is one of the rare non-animated films parents can take their children to see." Posted Jan 19, 2007	Opal Dream (2006)	69%
2/4	"There are too many things out of whack here, and too many unanswered questions." Posted Jan 12, 2007	Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)	20%
3/4	"Freedom Writers, which has a lot to say about education and the flaws in the American public-school system, gets high marks -- for effort and for merit." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Freedom Writers (2007)	69%
3/4	"The beauty of this film lies in its sense of promise. All the characters are in crisis, yet no one completely falls apart." Posted Dec 15, 2006	Off the Black (2006)	67%
3.5/4	"It's as close to what the disintegration of a real-life relationship looks like as you'll ever see onscreen." Posted Dec 1, 2006	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
2.5/4	"Broad in scope and at times visually stunning, [director Thom] Fitzgerald's project is ambitious but lacks cohesion." Posted Dec 1, 2006	3 Needles (2006)	35%
3/4	"The film is a pointed lesson in 'every little bit helps.'" Posted Nov 24, 2006	Beyond the Call (2008)	56%
3/4	"The bottom line: Jack Black rocks -- especially when he rocks." Posted Nov 23, 2006	Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)	53%
1/4	"Spirituality is big business, especially on the printed page, but in movies we like the Big Message in the form of metaphor or allegory rather than a hammer over the head." Posted Oct 27, 2006	Conversations with God (2006)	9%
3/4	"Smith, along with the rest of the cast, rises above and turns the thinly scripted dark comedy into an amusing and enjoyable British romp." Posted Sep 29, 2006	Keeping Mum (2006)	55%
2.5/4	"Spanish director Manuel Gomez Pereira certainly draws inspiration from his compatriot Pedro Almodovar -- several of the actresses are even Pedro alums -- but the film falls short of Almodovar's usual depth and complexity." Posted Sep 8, 2006	Queens (aka Reinas) (2006)	43%
