	"Partition doesn�t add many new ideas to the mix, but the deep colors and complex textures supplied by Indian-born cinematographer-turned-director Vic Sarin seem to embody the intensity of his boyhood memories." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 27, 2008	Partition (2007)	14%
	"An imperial epic of 16th-century India, realized on a suitably gargantuan scale by writer-director Ashutosh Gowariker." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 21, 2008	Jodhaa Akbar (2008)	71%
	"*If history has taught us anything, it's that the effectiveness of a proposition such as Aaja Nachle* depends almost entirely on charm. In this case, that invitation is all but irresistible.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Dec 6, 2007	Aaja Nachle (2007)	n/a
	"Comes this close to sweeping us off our feet." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 14, 2007	Saawariya (2007)	41%
	"Weaves its familiar story with some fresh textures and even manages to invest the conflict on the field with a resonance that transcends the tick-tock turnover of the numerals on the scoreboard." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 16, 2007	Chak De India (2007)	80%
	"Flirtatious repartee between glamorous stars in travel-poster international locations; a gratifyingly simple plot with puzzles and sleight-of-hand surprises; and, at regular intervals, outbursts of gaudy, energetic dancing infectiously exploding." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 21, 2007	Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007)	83%
	"Shootout at Lokhandwala may still be a rush for action fans because it never slows down long enough to become even remotely boring." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 31, 2007	Shoot Out at Lokhandwala (2007)	n/a
	"This is robust storytelling, with blood and thunder pumping through its veins, and real whiskers on its face." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 15, 2007	The Royal Guard (2007)	100%
	"The underused Indian actor Kay Kay Menon is perfectly cast as a crisply correct detective keeping a tight lid on his seething anger in Black Friday, a rigorously naturalistic docudrama about a complex police investigation." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 15, 2007	Black Friday (2007)	86%
	"*A skillfully woven multicharacter drama, Traffic Signal* is a methodical depiction of a stratified alternative society cobbled together by the group of Bombay street people.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Feb 8, 2007	Traffic Signal (2007)	n/a
	"Writer-director Nikhil Advani cuts with crisp elegance between six passionate love stories in this master-class, South Asian extreme version of a tear-streaked Bollywood music drama." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 1, 2007	Salaam-e-Ishq (2007)	n/a
	"The film is a triumph of casting: In a role that is often about the sheer steamrolling force of his character�s personality, Abishek Bachchan�s attention to detail makes Guru accessible rather than intimidating, admirable but also plausible." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 19, 2007	Guru (2007)	90%
	"A movie meal as satisfying as this one can make you feel that nothing else matters." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 30, 2006	Dhoom 2 (2006)	80%
	"Working to keep the home audience interested in a story it knows by heart, Akhtar adds so many additional betrayals and secret identities to an already far-fetched plot that the real world becomes a distant memory, and happily so." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 26, 2006	Don (2006)	n/a
	"Ha Yu, the young director of the sleek Korean gangster drama A Dirty Carnival, walks the genre-movie tightrope like a master: He keeps us guessing but never gets so hot for novelty that he disrespects the ground rules of the form." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 12, 2006	A Dirty Carnival (2006)	n/a
	"Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (Never Say Goodbye) contains set pieces so spine-chillingly effective that people may still be talking about them 20 years from now." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 17, 2006	Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)	75%
	"Hearty pulp cinema that really sticks to your ribs." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 29, 2006	Krrish (2006)	100%
	"The sheer exuberant star power of this movie�s early scenes of romance and lip-synching among the national monuments is irresistible." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 1, 2006	Fanaa (2006)	100%
	"... hitches some of the most irresistible conventions of Hindi movie melodrama to an earnest agenda of social protest." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 28, 2006	Water (2006)	91%
	"Crisp, fast editing and some expert sound effects goose this clash of social opposites as it escalates into a slapstick battle of wits." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 2, 2006	Taxi Number 9211 (2006)	n/a
	"Already a cultural phenomenon in India, this reformist melodrama by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra (Aks) uses razor-sharp technique and an eavesdropper�s ear for dialogue to update the patriotic fervor of Bollywood�s golden age." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 2, 2006	Rang De Basanti (2006)	n/a
	"*despite the excellence of its large ensemble, Bluffmaster* still feels like a star vehicle, and a solidly convincing one at that.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Dec 22, 2005	Bluff Master (2006)	n/a
	"A watchable, but conventional, romantic comedy about negotiating domestic peace agreements in the shadow of an unexpected pregnancy." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 15, 2005	Salaam Namaste (2005)	80%
	"An almost exhaustingly inventive action comedy that uses every available trick." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 6, 2005	Kung Fu Hustle (2005)	89%
	"Ghobadi's genius seems supercharged rather than weighed down by his higher calling, and his imagery is so boilingly alive that we come away from it feeling exhilarated rather than depressed." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 17, 2005	Turtles Can Fly (2005)	90%
	"A withering satire." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 10, 2005	Masculin Feminin (1966)	94%

	"Hiner Saleem achieves the droll absurdity of a folktale with a vein of magical realism in this exceedingly dry and precise and slow-paced comedy set in a depressed, tiny village in northern post-Soviet Armenia." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 17, 2004	Vodka Lemon ()	94%
	"The Incredibles creates so seamless a mood of exhilaration that we resent being pulled out of it." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 4, 2004	The Incredibles (2004)	97%

	"The uniformly excellent actors, many of whom have been working beneath their gifts for years on UPN sitcoms, clearly relished the complexities. You will too." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 1, 2004	Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004)	50%

	"Satoshi innovates not by pushing off into more extreme realms of adolescent fantasy, but by using all the resources of animation to tell complex dramatic stories, resources that in his hands seem almost limitless." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 11, 2003	Millennium Actress (2003)	94%
	"Mathews has obvious storytelling chops, and a sharp eye for absurdity." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 4, 2003	Dude, Where's the Party? (2003)	69%

	"Judged purely as a movie for young children (10 and under, tops), this latest feature spinoff from the card-game, toy and TV-animation empire is, surprisingly, not bad." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 14, 2003	Pokemon - Heroes: The Movie (2003)	17%
	"Deol is a brawny action icon with a soulful countenance, and there is nothing quite like this stuff when all the elements click smoothly into place." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 1, 2003	The Hero (2003)	50%
	"Very few art documentaries are as deeply in tune with the spirit of their subjects, and the implications are enormous, since Goldsworthy is the rare contemporary art star whose work (what a radical notion) is actually about something." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 6, 2003	Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003)	99%
	"This lively Klasky Csupo production is a convincing amplification of the popular Nickelodeon series." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 19, 2002	The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002)	80%
	"The experience of watching blobby old-school CGI animation in this superlarge format is just surreal enough to be diverting." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 8, 2002	Santa vs. the Snowman (2002)	78%
