2/5	"This stuff is too easy to find on daytime TV." Posted Jul 7, 2008	Holding Trevor (2008)	14%
4/5	"It�s an extraordinary film that gay audiences will find particularly salient, no doubt, yet audiences with an affinity for the writings of Isherwood or nostalgia for the golden age of Hollywood may find it intriguing as well." Posted Jul 7, 2008	Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)	96%
1/5	"*Despite all evidence to the contrary, The Chosen One* is not interesting.*" Posted Jul 7, 2008*	The Chosen One (2008)	n/a
2.5/5	"The filmmakers here not only disguise what they would like to say about the long-waged war, they obscure the message, leaving one with not much more than a few brief glimpses of the war�s effects amidst a number of quirky distractions." Posted Jul 7, 2008	Kabluey (2008)	86%
3/5	"What we actually have here are a host of human stories about the homeless, put through the prism of soccer, as a path for the expression of one�s humanity�one�s worth." Posted Jun 27, 2008	Kicking It (2008)	50%
3/5	"*Includes of some of the most extraordinary surf footage seen since Bruce Brown�s early Endless Summer* films.*" Posted Jun 27, 2008*	Bustin' Down the Door (2008)	64%
4/5	"Powerful and enlightening." Posted Jun 20, 2008	Without the King (2008)	94%
4/5	"The result is something that is, though not necessarily unique in the annals of documentary history, as engaging as any such story can be, particularly when isolated and presented as sincerely as it is here." Posted May 30, 2008	Indestructible (2008)	n/a
3/5	"A gripping melodrama with great historical import that also manages to foreshadow the contemporary zeitgeist of our present day." Posted May 23, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
2.5/5	"*Fans of the genre, Ms. Spelling (who are likely the same people) and perhaps TV�s Will & Grace* (who are likely the same people) will be inclined to walk this bride down the aisle.*" Posted Apr 24, 2008*	Kiss the Bride (2008)	33%
3/5	"It�s always a treat when a movie seems to be exactly the movie that the filmmakers intended to make, and their audience wants to see. It�s also a treat when it�s a good movie, too." Posted Apr 11, 2008	A Four Letter Word (2008)	70%
4/5	"Actor/director Tom McCarthy�s follow up to his award-winning debut, The Station Agent, avoids any notion of a sophomore curse by being an even more polished effort than his debut." Posted Apr 11, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
2.5/5	"Street Kings is buoyed by the spirit of Keanu Reeves, who never fails to astound, at least this critic, by being consistently better than he�s given credit for and nearly always better than most of the films in which he appears." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Street Kings (2008)	36%
4/5	"The film manages to walk a line that is not antiwar in the main, but is distinctly pro-soldier, and thus takes pains to speak to the plight of the American serviceperson." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Stop-Loss (2008)	65%
	"*Pretty much all of Never Back Down* is shot like an episode of Punk�d, with a soundtrack from an MTV2 playlist. Which is all perfectly appropriate and kinda fun.*" Posted Mar 17, 2008*	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
	"captures a good deal more than the sometimes discordant music produced by these young, would-be chick-monsters of rock." Posted Mar 7, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	74%
	"It�s all too ridiculous for even the make-believe world of movies." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	35%
	"*Ignore all of that foolishness and watch the collision of emotions The Air I Breathe* provides -- it is enough all by itself to leave you breathless.*" Posted Jan 18, 2008*	The Air I Breathe (2007)	14%
	"Mostly the movie floats on the sincerity of Alonso as Carlitos, who is incapable of doing or saying anything that one does not believe, and del Castillo as his young, hardworking mother." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	73%
	"There is simply nothing revelatory about any of it, however salacious. This is all old news and consequently not particularly interesting." Posted Jan 10, 2008	Running with Arnold (2008)	0%
	"Wacky characters doing silly things for nonsensical reasons seem to have become the standard paradigm for youth-oriented comedies of late." Posted Nov 30, 2007	The Sasquatch Gang (2007)	46%
	"What's interesting about the movie are its interests, which are the funny, insightful, curious preoccupations of the young, which is to say they're about sex and sexuality." Posted Nov 30, 2007	Sex and Breakfast (2007)	13%
	"What is most intriguing in the film are the words, indeed the presence, of Barnes himself." Posted Oct 25, 2007	Mr. Untouchable (2007)	74%
3.5/5	"It's amazing what a limited runtime can do to focus a storyline." Posted Sep 21, 2007	Antonia (2007)	93%
2/4	"Painfully didactic storytelling." Posted Sep 8, 2007	Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007)	62%
3/5	"The 'characters' in Manda Bala are lucid and deliberate as they tell their stories and relate their points-of-view, but it is the construction of the film that sets it apart and multiplies its impact." Posted Sep 8, 2007	Manda Bala (2007)	80%
2/5	"*Rather than a real drama about these things, David & Layla* plays like �70s-era sitcom.*" Posted Aug 30, 2007*	David & Layla (2008)	53%
No Rating	Click here to read article Posted Aug 30, 2007	Beyond Hatred (2005)	89%
2/5	"An ordinary boy-gets-girl movie, and not a particularly interesting one." Posted Aug 30, 2007	Dedication (2007)	41%
1.5/5	"Closing Escrow is one of those self-aware mockumentaries of the sort Christopher Guest likes to make -- only it's not that funny." Posted Aug 24, 2007	Closing Escrow (2007)	54%
2.5/5	"*The point is that while Superbad* is just as dumb as it looks in every way, there's also something fairly sophisticated going on, which is always a pleasant, and genuine, surprise.*" Posted Aug 16, 2007*	Superbad (2007)	87%
3/5	"Director Michael Bay and his ILM team have, in fact, achieved something pretty impressive in the world of CGI and modeling." Posted Jul 11, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
2/5	"*The funniest thing about Kickin' It Old Skool, yet another in a long line of not particularly funny Kennedy movies, is how little we actually have advanced since the '80s." Posted May 9, 2007*	Kickin' It Old Skool (2007)	3%
3/5	"A charming film that is neither saccharin nor sanctimonious as it treads the well-worn romantic comedy genre, not so much dismantling it as rearranging it just enough to make it interesting -- and perhaps just a little scary." Posted Apr 21, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	69%
2/5	"Though some, including the filmmakers, might find this sort of material smart and real, others might consider it middlebrow and not particularly representative of the complex and interesting people they know, some of whom are even men." Posted Apr 20, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
1/5	"Redline mostly feels like one long stunt intercut with the boring parts of a porn movie." Posted Apr 16, 2007	Redline (2007)	0%
1.5/5	"Devolve into a film that only feigns the pretensions of popular entertainment but instead wants to delve into all sorts of family issues." Posted Mar 31, 2007	Premonition (2007)	8%
3.5/5	"The path that Jensen plots is one full of the improbable and unlikely, but never the impossible." Posted Mar 17, 2007	Adam's Apples (2007)	71%
3/5	"A challenging but worth-it experience for more reasons than one can actually speak (or write) in words. It's a documentary to be watched over time, with a Carthusian level of contemplation." Posted Mar 9, 2007	Into Great Silence (2007)	89%
2/5	"The cast of Wild Hogs could only have been interesting in a movie about over-the-hill movie stars making a movie about over-the-hill regular guys slipping into the mind-numbing pointlessness of middle age -- but that would have been an ironic." Posted Mar 2, 2007	Wild Hogs (2007)	15%
2/5	"The movie reaches the heights of melodrama with narrative cliches that border on the surreal." Posted Feb 18, 2007	Daddy's Little Girls (2007)	25%
3/5	"A striking treatise on life in post-war Bosina every bit as stark and weighty as the Italian master's [Vittorio De Sica] meditations on life in the heart and the aftermath of the madness of war." Posted Feb 16, 2007	Grbavica: The Land of My Dreams (2007)	98%
3/5	"This is all pretty ordinary Murphy movie stuff, which is to say it's kinda funny most of the time and very funny some of the time." Posted Feb 9, 2007	Norbit (2007)	9%
2/5	"The plethora of horror movie cliches -- even those still residually effective -- weigh so heavily in The Messengers that whatever moments of terror that might have been had are left positively weightless." Posted Feb 5, 2007	The Messengers (2007)	11%
2/5	"The gravitas that director Philip Haas and writer Wendell Steavenson would like to bring to bear in this smallish war thriller is simply not an achievable goal." Posted Feb 2, 2007	The Situation (2007)	37%
2/5	"*Loosely edited scenes juxtaposed in the most vexing ways and completely disparate motifs blurs Constellation* into an image that the Hubble Space Telescope could not sharpen.*" Posted Feb 2, 2007*	Constellation (2007)	0%
1.5/5	"*The line between hysterical and hysterics is a thin one, and, although it has its funny moments, for the most part the tone and timbre of Because I Said So* falls soundly on the wrong side.*" Posted Feb 2, 2007*	Because I Said So (2007)	5%
3/4	"Let�s just say the story of Sacco and Vanzetti is a timely reminder of how things can go when politics obscure reasonable minds, and vigilance gives way vigilantism." Posted Jan 22, 2007	Sacco & Vanzetti (2007)	88%
2.5/4	"[Director Dave Meyers] leans a bit more on character and narrative than one might expect, particularly in these get-em�-naked-and-kill-em� days of gratuitously violent horror movies. Not that this isn�t plenty violent and gratuitous its own way." Posted Jan 22, 2007	The Hitcher (2007)	19%
1.5/5	"When played with stale jokey-jokes and lame one-liners, as it is here, it�s not funny at all." Posted Jan 13, 2007	Happily N'Ever After (2007)	4%
