	" A profoundly ridiculous premise, surely, but it works, not only as story and special effects showcase, but satire of the filmic conventions of two genres seemingly left to history's waste bin." Posted Feb 12, 2008	Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)	98%
	" Either the slyest satire of consumerism you will ever see or a filmmaker, reared on action figures and electric trains, acting out his childhood fantasies of being locked in a department store at night." Posted Feb 4, 2008	Gremlins (1984)	78%
	" Scenes featuring the monster are oddly the most realistic." Posted Jan 30, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
	" A deeply self-indulgent picture that exemplifies the worst, navel-gazing preoccupations of so many contemporary documentarians." Posted Jan 21, 2008	51 Birch Street (2006)	95%
	" I have little doubt that this all worked a lot better in the book." Posted Jan 15, 2008	Atonement (2007)	83%
	" More thought seems to have went into providing grist for future [sequels] that have not been made than the film that was." Posted Jan 3, 2008	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
	" This really is a subtly detestable film at times." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936)	n/a
	" It's not as good as you heard." Posted Dec 18, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
	" Imagine Lassie goes off to war... Lassie returning home shell-shocked, twisted by his war-time experiences. Imagine a judge orders Lassie put down. A courtroom trial. Lassie defended by the Wizard of Oz." Posted Dec 5, 2007	Courage of Lassie (1946)	n/a
	" Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? is a strange film, but ultimately one that rewards you for your patience." Posted Nov 26, 2007	Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? (1969)	100%
	" Andrew Wagner shouldn't take it personally that I dislike his movie with such passion." Posted Nov 25, 2007	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	85%
	" Virgin's mesmeric final moments...are really what elevate the picture from mere cultural curiosity to unheralded subversive brilliance." Posted Nov 12, 2007	The Last American Virgin (1982)	75%
	" Adults (and their younger comrades-in-training, teenagers) are uniformly loathsome, spoiling the Garden of Boyhood with their egoism and physical/emotional sadism" Posted Nov 12, 2007	Stand by Me (1986)	91%
	" As a filmmaker, the problem with being ahead of your time is that most audiences/critics/quasi-Luddites won't like your movie." Posted Oct 30, 2007	Ace in the Hole (1951)	87%
	" Teen Wolf begs the question of why being part wolf would improve your basketball (or seduction, or dancing) skills so dramatically." Posted Oct 10, 2007	Teen Wolf (1985)	44%
	" Bobcat Goldthwait doesn't simply act in bad comedies, now he writes and directs them, too." Posted Oct 6, 2007	Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)	33%
	" Despite the interesting questions they raise, it seems the filmmakers' plea for tolerance prevailed over true intellectual honesty and the serious study of a psychologically troubling behavior." Posted Sep 24, 2007	Zoo (2007)	55%
	" If Assan Motors wants their employees to to act like Japanese people, why not build the plant in Japan?" Posted Aug 22, 2007	Gung Ho (1986)	40%
	" Of course, you try to critique the film they made, not the one you would have preferred. This being said, you rather wish they'd picked a different lie." Posted Aug 17, 2007	The Children's Hour (1962)	80%
	" It's a story populated by characters not people, all displaying wildly antisocial behaviors for the seeming purpose of giving the teenage Burroughs something to write about when older. It may be factual but it is not truth." Posted Jul 14, 2007	Running with Scissors (2006)	29%
	" To his credit, Frears doesn't try to solicit too much sympathy for his Queen, but the film goes down the navel-gazing rabbit hole just the same." Posted Jul 14, 2007	The Queen (2006)	96%
	" *As great as The Maltese Falcon* is, the picture has two fairly significant shortcomings that no one really wants to talk about.*" Posted Jul 13, 2007*	The Maltese Falcon (1941)	100%
	" Strangely moving, a Passion play for Laura Palmer as governed by the murky dream logic of a director who expands upon the mythology of his iconic television show while simultaneously rewriting it." Posted Jul 10, 2007	Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)	53%
	" What, no chance meeting with John Wilkes Booth while hunting for beaver pelts? How about a rail-splitting contest between Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, bragging rights and a crumpled five-dollar bill to the winner?" Posted Jun 28, 2007	Young Mr. Lincoln (1940)	95%
	" I can't help but think the filmmaker got a tad too close to her subject. Like standing a foot away from a Seurat, Ms. Gilbert sees a series of dots rather than a leisurely Sunday afternoon in the park." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Whole (2003)	n/a
	" It's always bizarre when films seek to remind us of other, better ones, demonstrating how inferior they are with the comparison." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Vicki (1953)	n/a
	" Great films are often unrecognized at the time of their release, or even decades later." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Urban Cowboy (1980)	79%
	" The best filmmaking brings flesh to bone and there are few dancing skeletons that could use more humanity than 9/11." Posted Jun 28, 2007	United 93 (2006)	91%
	" This isn't to say the picture is without merit as it's amusing to watch famous people describe a man they can barely conceal their distaste for." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Tell Them Who You Are (2005)	86%
	" The smartest studio film in a long time." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Superman Returns (2006)	77%
	" Perhaps we are sick only so someone can sell us the cure." Posted Jun 28, 2007	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	67%
	" Reminders that These Things Actually Happened become something close to a necessary evil for so little in the picture has the ring of authenticity." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Running With Scissors (2003)	n/a
	" There's something unsettling about church weddings." Posted Jun 28, 2007	The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)	76%
	" The Prestige is a neat trick, even if Nolan is a little too proud of his narrative sleight of hand; magicians may never betray their secrets, but Nolan holds no such creed." Posted Jun 28, 2007	The Prestige (2006)	75%
	" Todd Haynes' first feature-length picture...is not a particularly good movie regardless of what the Sundance Film Festival says." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Poison (1991)	77%
	" *Representing a thematic cousin of Antonioni's own pop artifact Blow-Up, Nicholson's hollow man...stumbles down the rabbit hole of social responsibility on his way to unrealized redemption." Posted Jun 28, 2007*	The Passenger (1975)	91%
	" Freddy's Revenge is the kind of bad film that's interesting to talk about - this has to count for something." Posted Jun 28, 2007	A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 - Freddy's Revenge (1985)	32%
	" *While only preceding King Kong...by a few months, it predates (in its own charmingly unsuspecting way) the 1960s hippie movement by a good thirty years." Posted Jun 28, 2007*	The Most Dangerous Game (1932)	100%
	" Sigh." Posted Jun 28, 2007	The Mudge Boy (2004)	74%
	" Marie Antoinette functions less as a film than a two-hour music video for Sofia Coppola's mix tape of favorite songs." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Marie Antoinette (2006)	54%
	" Media doesn't simply reflect who we are - it tells us. It is the mirror but so are we." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Man Bites Dog (1993)	88%
	" *Often what makes films great are the questions they pose, not the ones they solve. Chloe in the Afternoon* is full of questions.*" Posted Jun 28, 2007*	Chloe in the Afternoon (1972)	90%
	" The Longest Yard asks what it means to be criminal in a system without fairness, where...violence is cloaked in duty and righteousness." Posted Jun 28, 2007	The Longest Yard (1974)	81%
	" I won't reveal how the whole situation resolves itself, only that there is a musical montage featuring Coldplay...Jacinda Barrett breaks character and speaks in an Australian accent...and some other things happen that...are always happening in movies." Posted Jun 28, 2007	The Last Kiss (2006)	46%
	" A director's love letter to himself, the martyred, fashionably-dressed messiah whose work may someday save the world if only we'd let it." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Lady in the Water (2006)	24%
	" Jesus Camp [is] one of the most frightening films of 2006." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Jesus Camp (2006)	88%
	" Does David Lynch know he's weird?" Posted Jun 28, 2007	Inland Empire (2006)	69%
	" Not to completely bash this trifle of a movie, as I'm sure writer/director Ol Parker is an entertaining gentleman at parties, but it really is emblematic of everything that is wrong with current independent filmmaking." Posted Jun 26, 2007	Imagine Me & You (2006)	31%
	" Idiocracy is polemic in search of a punch line or plot, and often finding neither." Posted Jun 26, 2007	Idiocracy (2006)	72%
	" It's not a great film... There are some great moments, though." Posted Jun 26, 2007	High Sierra (1941)	93%
