	" 'Sweeney Todd': Burton has deconstructed and redefined Sondheim's masterwork, creating a film that compliments its stage predecessor.

	" 'The Invasion': Oliver Hirschbiegel's take on Jack Finney's classic story is subtly political, commenting ever so slyly on the apathy and indifference - and the lack of empathy and compassion - that have taken over since 9/11, as well as the sense of enti" -- Passionate Moviegoer Posted Aug 25, 2007	The Invasion (2007)	19%

	" "The Break-Up": A brilliantly uncompromising, often harsh but very accurate examination of a relationship unraveling" -- Passionate Moviegoer Posted Jul 16, 2007	The Break-Up (2006)	34%

3/4	" You have to hand it to Spacey. He gets by on sheer willfulness. He believes so much in his cockeyed dream that we come to believe in it, too." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 30, 2004	Beyond the Sea (2004)	42%
3/4	" A film that's extremely well-made but tantalizingly or clumsily (take your pick) oblique." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 24, 2004	The Aviator (2004)	88%
3/4	" This movie is so odd, so uncommercial and so unformulaic, particularly for something produced by a major studio (Disney, in this case), that I can't imagine how Anderson got his idea for it past the front office and in front of cameras." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 24, 2004	The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)	52%
2.5/4	" Meet the Fockers is not much of a movie -- just a lot of comic situations barely held together by the semblance of a plot -- but it is genuinely funny in a crass way." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 22, 2004	Meet the Fockers (2004)	39%
3.5/4	" War, it says, is what separates love from hate, life from death and the beautiful from the ugly -- and Jeunet's film says it with great invention and artistry." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 22, 2004	A Very Long Engagement (2004)	77%
3/4	" Given the overall weakness of the material, director Joel Schumacher works beyond the call of duty to pull us into his musical fable." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 22, 2004	Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)	34%
3/4	" The film is anchored in particular by the dual performances of Schade as the 90-year-old Lena and the magnificent Riemann as her younger counterpart." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 17, 2004	Rosenstrasse (2004)	57%
2/4	" Loud, noisy, chaotic and overall unpleasant." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 17, 2004	Flight of the Phoenix (2004)	29%
4/4	" An unusually observant film marked by dry, acerbic humor." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 17, 2004	Spanglish (2004)	52%
3.5/4	" Rarely has crime seemed so glamorous, what with these mostly well-dressed, largely attractive, immature scamps languishing in posh surroundings." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 10, 2004	Ocean's Twelve (2004)	55%
4/4	" A superior soap opera not unlike what Douglas Sirk might have churned out in the 1950s." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Dec 3, 2004	Gloomy Sunday (2003)	84%
3/4	" It would be easy to accuse Bale of a warped kind of egomania if his performance wasn't so mesmerizing." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Nov 29, 2004	The Machinist (2004)	73%
4/4	" The remarkable Liam Neeson does an affectingly self-effacing turn in the title role." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Nov 24, 2004	Kinsey (2004)	90%
1/4	" This one is a veritable celebration of intolerance, disguised as a joyous holiday film." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Nov 24, 2004	Christmas with the Kranks (2004)	5%
2.5/4	" Ultimately stumbles and falls, much like the horses in the battle scenes. But it is an interesting failure, always brimming with life." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Nov 24, 2004	Alexander (2004)	16%
4/4	" *Guided by Depp's gentle performance, Winslet's wistfulness and Macdonald's intense Pan, Finding Neverland* will send you out of the theater crying and saying, 'I do believe!'*" -- Sacramento Bee* Posted Nov 19, 2004	Finding Neverland (2004)	83%
3/4	" This is a choice role, and Bening tears into it with the broadest smile and widest eyes you ever saw." -- Sacramento Bee Posted Nov 19, 2004	Being Julia (2004)	76%
