"It's rare to find a work that explores issues of faith without veering into religious fundamentalism or militant atheism, which is reason enough to revisit Brideshead one more time." -- Onion AV Club

Brideshead Revisited (2008)70%

3.5/5
 
"Reed's dour, bombastic song-suite about the lives of the drug-addicted and downtrodden steadily acquired cult cachet over the decades, peaking with its staging as a complete-album concert in 2006, which Lou Reed's Berlin documents." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)76%

B+
 
"While the context, in the U.S. as well as its native country, lends Days And Clouds added resonance, Soldini's main interest is in the politics of marriage." -- Onion AV Club
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Days and Clouds (2008)86%

3/5
 
"Wanted's hyperkinetic antics are sometimes weighed down by a surfeit of adolescent misanthropy. But the adrenaline-overdose strategy works for viewers as well as hit men." -- Los Angeles Times

Wanted (2008)72%

"Making the minutiae of life hold continuous interest is no easy task, as demonstrated by [Cristi] Puiu's fledgling first feature, 2001's Stuff And Dough." -- Onion AV Club

Stuff and Dough (2008)67%

"Roman De Gare's neatest trick is [Dominique] Pinon's performance, which draws out a hitherto unseen leading-man allure." -- Onion AV Club

"The story hits too many familiar beats, but Kormákur flavors his familiar dish with beauty shots of Iceland's pitted landscape and the occasional cooked sheep's head." -- Onion AV Club
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
Jar City (2008)91%

B+
 
"The movie wavers between Sundance-friendly issue film and spiritual reverie." -- Onion AV Club
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
The Unforeseen (2007)86%

"Starting Out is a movie for savoring, not one whose flavor explodes on your palate, but its minor-key attractions are substantial." -- Philadelphia City Paper
Posted Dec 14, 2007
 
Starting Out in the Evening (2007)86%
/
3.5/5
 
"Most of the movie's villains are slack-jawed variations on Beavis and Butt-Head, but Kern's high-pitched dimwit steals the show. As his eyes glaze over, you can see a thought try to cross his face and give up halfway." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Dec 3, 2007
 
The Sasquatch Gang (2007)46%
/
4/5
 
"Rife with bloody gore and funny gags." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jun 21, 2007
 
Black Sheep (2007)71%

3.5/5
 
"Vacancy becomes a critique of sadistic thrillers, at the same time still serving as a crackerjack example of the genre." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Apr 19, 2007
 
Vacancy (2007)56%
/
3/5
 
"A little of this junk-drawer fusillade goes a long way. It would have been interesting to see Maiellaro and Willis up the ante for their big-screen outing, rather than simply riffing at greater length." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Apr 12, 2007
 
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007)48%
/
5/5
 
"The movie's interests tend more toward the personal than the political. Cultural differences notwithstanding, Sánchez is the archetype of the overachieving dad, sacrificing his present to provide for his family's future." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jan 11, 2007
 
Romántico (2006)96%
/
4.5/5
 
"For all its bright-hued nostalgia (the cricket greens are practically incandescent), Wondrous Oblivion edges up to hard truths, most powerfully expressed in Lindo's towering performance." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Wondrous Oblivion (2006)65%
/
3/5
 
"Michael Taylor and Karen Coshof's slickly made documentary serves as a tidy primer on climate change, making up in breadth what it lacks in exhortation." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Nov 2, 2006
 
The Great Warming (2006)67%
/
3.5/5
 
"What makes 51 Birch Street a moving revelation rather than a therapeutic exercise is Block's commitment to understanding his parents, Mike and Mina, on their own terms, regardless of what it does to his image of them." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Oct 19, 2006
 
51 Birch Street (2006)95%
/
3/5
 
"MacDonald seems less interested in the Silver Belles' past than their inspirational present. Eventually, the inevitable broken hips and dizzy spells take their toll, but those who remain seem determined to shuffle-step their way into the sunset." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Sep 28, 2006
 
Been Rich All My Life (2006)78%
/
4/5
 
"Climaxing with a union as heartfelt as it is perverse, the movie asserts with eccentric force the belief that love knows no bounds, be they physical, spiritual or sensible." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Aug 25, 2006
 
Two Drifters (2006)43%
/
3/5
 
"A well-worn coming-of-age tale enlivened by pungent detail and a sharp visual sense." -- Los Angeles Times
Posted Jul 27, 2006
 
The Motel (2006)87%
/
 
"Those who don't find it overblown and irresponsible will be shocked and sobered by the realities it depicts." -- Philadelphia City Paper
Posted Jun 28, 2006
 
The Gift (2003)n/a
/
 
"Successfully recasts the Israeli occupation on a purely domestic level." -- Philadelphia City Paper
Posted Oct 11, 2005
 
Private (2004)80%

"Barrymore never shies away from Josie's awkwardness, which only make her portrayal that much more winning." -- Philadelphia City Paper
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Never Been Kissed (1999)56%

"Features impressive performances from the entire cast and successfully mixes personal drama with larger issues." -- Philadelphia City Paper
