	"As each player's run through the same routine�hometown meet-and-greet, biographical sketch, hasty interview�the burden of the formulaic structure starts to wear." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%

	"If the united Europe aspires to compete with America globally, this is good news -- they've found their own Paul Haggis!" -- Village Voice Posted May 21, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	90%
	"It takes a controlling hand to chisel something more contoured than monotony out of this dense angst, and director Luc�a Puenzo doesn't have it." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 30, 2008	XXY (2008)	72%
	"Seven Days is all fetishized decay and "daring" press-kit stuffing." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 23, 2008	Seven Days Sunday (2008)	n/a

	"This is the first collaboration between kung fu's Astaire and Kelly, and, as that, it disappoints." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 16, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
	"Dark Matter's insights go no deeper than 'chickens coming home to roost' banality." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 8, 2008	Dark Matter (2008)	34%

	"Stupid monikers are just one symptom of a stultifying, overwritten cleverness that substitutes quirk for character." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 2, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	27%
	"So objectively awful it ceases even to be a reflection of writer-director Andrews Jenkins's non-talent, How to Rob a Bank calls into question the distribution filtration process that should protect delicate consumer eyes from things like this." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 5, 2008	How to Rob a Bank (2008)	9%

	"The film avoids potentially interesting frictions by always letting the team debate (and win) on the 'correct' side of every issue -- that which aligns with generally accepted modern liberal sympathies." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 18, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
	"Lamentable scenes include that comic relief stand-by, the Bad Date Montage, but the movie comes off better than it should by virtue of Benhamou and (especially) Lister-Jones, appealing and modest young actors who create a plausible central relationship," -- Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2007	Arranged (2007)	67%
	"Revolver disappoints." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2007	Revolver (2007)	16%
	"Writer-director Michael Schroeder compulsively references canonical films and books, presumably in the hope that genius rubs off." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2007	Man in the Chair (2007)	48%
	"Chronicle might be utterly uncompromising in its "you are there" visceral style�or just unresourceful. I tend toward the latter reading." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 28, 2007	Chronicle of an Escape (2007)	60%
	"There's not much, finally, to lift this thing above its necessarily niche appeal." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 27, 2007	The Rocket (2007)	56%

	"The rebellion never achieves the mythopoeic visual potency it strives for; while passably adopting several familiar modes of art-house style... Khadak doesn't exhibit full, dynamic fluency in any of them." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 9, 2007	Khadak (2006)	64%
	"Hard as it is to believe that anyone thinks the comic possibilities of polyester arrow collars haven't been thoroughly strip-mined, those are the primary source of ostensible laffs here." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 2, 2007	Finishing the Game (2007)	35%
