5/5	"Arguably the funniest spy spoof ever made." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 9, 2008	OSS 117: Cairo - Nest of Spies (2008)	74%
2/5	"The story mechanics don�t always work�the film vacillates between feeling heartfelt and clumsy." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 2, 2008	A Plumm Summer (2008)	25%
2.5/5	"That the film can�t seem to keep a cohesive tone is an undeniable irritant, but somehow director Paul Weiland...manages to massage such endearing performances from a very capable cast that the bad patches feel more like unfortunate hitches." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 2, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
3.5/5	"Psychological insights and powerhouse performances combine to form a consistently engaging narrative." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 30, 2008	Four Minutes (2007)	76%
0/5	"These are strictly movies by stoners, about stoners and for stoners. If they offer any service to humanity, it will be to help authorities corral the dregs of society as they congregate in theatres and ship the lot of them to Guantanamo Bay." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 25, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	56%
3/5	"The Forbidden Kingdom treads its path just right to please genre and action/adventure fans on both sides of the globe." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	62%
3/5	"One of the slipperiest teenage coming-of-age dramas in quite some time." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 4, 2008	Water Lilies (2007)	84%
3/5	"Despite a finale that fails to live up to the promise of its premise, Flawless still manages to be a polished throwback to the great British crime thrillers of the �60s, and a welcome return to form for director Michael Radford." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 28, 2008	Flawless (2007)	62%
2/5	"*The latest entry in this perplexing preoccupation with lowlifes is Boarding Gate, an astonishingly un-thrilling thriller." -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
	"an odd and sloppy grab bag of bits and concepts likely to appeal only to hardcore fans while leaving others scratching their heads." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
	"The caliber of this picture�s writing, directing and acting, along with the clear chances the filmmakers are willing to take, should not be understated." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 29, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
	"A textured and thoughtful effort that transcends sexuality, culture and even language." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 29, 2008	Vivere (2008)	47%
	"The formula for a Will Ferrell comedy, say critics, is becoming painfully obvious: Pick an offbeat occupation, usually in sports, add a funny hairstyle and silly name and unleash Ferrell. Comedy ensues. Or not." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 29, 2008	Semi-Pro (2008)	21%
	"It�s an odd, disjointed, but curiously appealing effort that could attain cult status if only for the fact that it�s so incredibly strange." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 11, 2008	Dead Man's Bounty (2007)	42%
	"This insipid, staggeringly dumb entry from New Line stoops to unprecedented new lows likely to stun even the most jaded cynic." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2008	Over Her Dead Body (2008)	13%
	"It�s an important and indelible work, excruciatingly difficult to watch and impossible to forget." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 1, 2008	Falling (2008)	n/a
	"The film veers into formulaic Disney Channel territory." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 14, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	24%
	"Charlie Wilson�s War ends up following an artistic tack not unlike the political tack it aims to depict -- a well-intentioned and initially successful campaign ultimately undone by short-sightedness and bureaucratic meddling." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 5, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
2/5	"Lin is simply trying to stretch a modest idea too far." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2007	Finishing the Game (2007)	33%
3/5	"*Director Peter Berg has come a long way since his days as an unremarkable character actor, and this follow-up to Friday Night Lights* confirms it.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
3/5	"Director Ron Hardy�s heartfelt, if somewhat tepid, adaptation of Michael Noonan�s coming-of-age novel harks back to the days of the Australian New Wave, when films about isolation, loneliness and the existential dilemmas of life on an island continent." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 14, 2007	December Boys (2007)	42%
2/5	"Fact, fiction and chronology are juggled and blurred with such abandon that piecing it all together is bound to be a fruitless and frustrating effort." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2007	Klimt (2006)	29%
4/5	"What�s undeniable is that Johnnie To has, at long last, emerged as the equal of his very best contemporaries, no longer simply one of Hong Kong�s most prolific filmmakers but one of its finest." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 31, 2007	Exiled (2007)	81%
1.5/5	"An already thin veneer of historical truth wears off fairly quickly in this surprisingly dull and melodramatic low-budget western." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 30, 2007	September Dawn (2007)	13%
3.5/5	"A prickly look at the poisonous nature of celebrity and the unsavory subculture it breeds around the edges." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 30, 2007	Delirious (2007)	85%
4/5	"One of the year�s most enjoyable surprises." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 24, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
2.5/5	"Although the film does eventually give up its referential conceits, it comes far too late in the game to salvage any real emotional investment in the characters or their plight." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 10, 2007	Becoming Jane (2007)	57%
2.5/5	"*Nine years after the first Rush Hour* and a whopping six years after Rush Hour 2, the buddy chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is finally showing signs of fatigue.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Aug 10, 2007	Rush Hour 3 (2007)	20%
2/5	"A merciful dearth of plot in favor of mindless set pieces, so-so effects work and passable PG-rated humor." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jul 11, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
3.5/5	"One need not harbor a deep and abiding passion for soccer in order to connect with is likely to be the summer of 2007�s most honest and emotionally rewarding movie." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 1, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%
3.5/5	"It�s not Veber�s best, but it�s certain good enough." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 20, 2007	The Valet (2007)	68%
3/5	"A garishly colored pastiche of classic Thai movie genres that draws liberally on both American and Hong Kong influences." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 2, 2007	Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)	76%
3.5/5	"The movie contains surprisingly little CGI, instead focusing on the kids, their unique bond and the powerful life lessons that come as a result of their adventures." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 16, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	84%
1.5/5	"*Oh, what a dreaded Pandora�s Box has been opened by the success of the Harry Potter* and The Lord of the Rings franchises.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Jan 12, 2007	Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)	20%
4/4	"There is Oscar-caliber work at almost all levels here, beginning with the exceptional adaptation by Tykwer." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 29, 2006	Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)	56%
4/4	"As with any good story, there are ups and downs and some rather dramatic emotional shifts in Miss Potter that don�t always hew to one�s wants or expectations. But it�s ever a gentle and rewarding ride, safely guided throughout." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 29, 2006	Miss Potter (2006)	65%
3/4	"Miller is undeniably engaging. That�s probably not enough to save the movie from obscurity, but it should, at the very least, guarantee bigger and better things for its star." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 29, 2006	Factory Girl (2007)	19%
4/5	"An opulent spectacle of almost Shakespearean gravitas and eye-popping cinematic virtuosity." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 22, 2006	Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)	65%
3.5/5	"The Good Shepherd is not an easily embraceable picture, but the story it tells is simply too compelling to dismiss, even at its ugliest." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 22, 2006	The Good Shepherd (2006)	56%
3/5	"*While We Are Marshall* is hardly a brilliant movie, it does succeed where it most needs to by honoring the memory of the dead in a manner that is both heartfelt and dignified.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Dec 22, 2006	We Are Marshall (2006)	48%
2/5	"Ambitious but sorely disappointing." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 15, 2006	The Good German (2006)	33%
3/5	"As a whole, it�s far from great and sometimes downright awful. Yet there�s too much to admire in its component parts to dismiss either the movie or the increasingly enigmatic man who made it." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 8, 2006	Apocalypto (2006)	65%
2.5/5	"While there�s much to admire, there�s very little that could be considered entertaining to someone not already enamored of geisha culture and lore." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Nov 17, 2006	Hannari: Geisha Modern (2006)	n/a
3.5/5	"[Craig is] arguably the best pure actor ever to play the part, and he is unquestionably the fittest." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Nov 11, 2006	Casino Royale (2006)	94%
2/5	"It�s that slavish refusal to detour from the most conservative possible interpretation of such events that ultimately makes One Night With the King little more than a dolled-up, oversimplified sermon." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 28, 2006	One Night With The King (2006)	16%
2/5	"The problem lies with the source material, a largely self-therapeutic memoir of late-�70s excess and eccentricity that wallows in a kind of weirdness best experienced in very small doses." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 20, 2006	Running with Scissors (2006)	29%
3.5/5	"It�s so exceptionally well done, so exceedingly well-cast that it makes one realize how few such films actually succeed at all." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 15, 2006	Nearing Grace (2006)	45%
3.5/5	"What's here speaks for itself, and what it says is often surprising and deeply unsettling, regardless of one's political leanings." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 15, 2006	The War Tapes (2006)	98%
2/5	"The picture betrays its own underlying philosophy about the importance of comedy in politics when, for the better part of its second hour, it becomes completely humorless." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 13, 2006	Man of the Year (2006)	20%
0.5/5	"Any one of a thousand can spoof noir. One in a thousand can spoof it well." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 22, 2006	Zen Noir (2006)	29%
