	"*Despite the gritty urban setting, there are episodes of Gilmore Girls* that have more 'edge.'*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Mar 20, 2008	Nana (2005)	60%
	"We recommend sleeping in." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 31, 2008	Sunday (2008)	n/a
	"*The team of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and A-list-choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan have pushed the Main Hoon Na* gentle masala movie parody to repetitive extremes.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Nov 15, 2007	Om Shanti Om (2007)	83%
	"The movie works so hard to transform its shocking subject into acceptable material for middlebrow melodrama that it never deals with it." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 18, 2007	Laaga Chunari Mein Daag - Journey of a Woman (2007)	n/a
	"It�s a beautifully shot and staged period reconstruction, and is at times impressively acted, at least in the secondary roles. What it lacks is fresh insight." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 2, 2007	Gandhi, My Father (2007)	40%
	"The movie [is] interesting to talk about afterward, but not necessarily any more fun to watch." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 31, 2007	Cheeni Kum (2007)	n/a
	"The film is so single-mindedly determined to be light and comfortable, to not raise a sweat, that it forgoes even the mildest surprises. The only things that get heavy here are the viewer�s eyelids." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 3, 2007	Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007)	60%
	"Kabul Express is the first foreign production shot in Afghanistan since the war, but [writer-director Kabir] Khan makes surprisingly little of his unique opportunity." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 22, 2006	Kabul Express (2006)	n/a
	"*In the end, Curse* also looks alarmingly like a dry run for the opening and closing ceremonies Zhang has been hired to direct for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Dec 20, 2006	Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)	65%
	"*At three and a half hours, J.P. Dutta's lugubrious period melodrama Umrao Jaan* defeated me. It feels endless.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Nov 9, 2006	Umrao Jaan (2006)	n/a
	"Viewers who are not already Bolly-heads are likely to be appalled." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 26, 2006	Jaan-E-Mann (2006)	50%
	"Squanders most of the goodwill generated by Part 1, banishing nearly all of its supporting characters to the Shadow Zone and starting all over again from scratch." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 7, 2006	Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006)	n/a
	"Every gesture feels synthetic, from the back story about North-South separation to massage the emotions of the home audience, to the 24-style globe-hopping nuclear-terrorism premise." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 1, 2006	Typhoon (2006)	22%
	"Zinda (Alive) isn't quite as gripping or as flamboyant as it should be." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 19, 2006	Zinda (2005)	n/a
	"Not even a third-act rescue from a burning building can prevent the tension from going up in smoke." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 5, 2006	Shikhar (2005)	n/a
	"The normally sharp instincts of Yash Chopra, the executive producer and distributor of this strident sex comedy, seem to have deserted him this time." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 15, 2005	Neal 'n' Nikki (2006)	n/a
	"The movie never finds the right balance between momentum and exposition, and way too much historical information has been crammed into voice-over narration." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 18, 2005	The Rising (2005)	89%
	"An earnest also-ran." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 31, 2005	Schizo (2005)	78%
	"*The premise of the first Miss Congeniality* is unrepeatable by definition, and Gracie is much less interesting as a now-fashion-savvy agent in Las Vegas.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Mar 24, 2005	Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005)	14%
	"The supposedly human face of our metal-plated robocop's partner -- the inevitable curvy female in a leather jump suit -- is an inexpressive, glossy doll mask, untouched by human hands." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 12, 2005	Appleseed (2004)	19%
	"A soulless piece of product, an ungainly hybrid of sketchy hand-drawn characters in blocky CGI environments, derivative at just about every level." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 30, 2004	Sky Blue (2005)	55%
	"This man without qualities is a concept rather than a man, an ambitious rich actor's condescending fantasy of a colorless suburban schmo." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 30, 2004	The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)	69%
	"*Feels like a big-budget Dharma & Greg* episode with toilet jokes.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Dec 16, 2004	Meet the Fockers (2004)	39%
	"Instantly forgettable." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 11, 2004	After the Sunset (2004)	19%
	"Skip the movie, stay home, read the book and say three Hail Marys." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 1, 2004	Th�r�se (2004)	11%
	"This sophomoric stuff is pure self-indulgence, a drone to accompany the admittedly eye-popping sound-and-light show." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 15, 2004	Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)	63%
	"The various disruptions Miike visits upon his stories, and upon his audience, serve mainly to focus attention on the manipulating intelligence behind the scenes. They're a fancy way of yelling, 'Look at me!'" -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 12, 2004	Gozu (2004)	72%
	"*A fourth-generation Terminator* hand-me-down.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Oct 22, 2003	Returner (2002)	35%
	"Feels cramped and constrained at just about every level." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 2, 2003	Bollywood/Hollywood (2003)	41%
	"The only real-life situations the movie evokes vividly are the circumstances of its own production: underrehearsed actors in hastily staged scenes speaking page after page of awkward expository dialogue." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 12, 2003	Controlled Chaos (2003)	0%
	"Eve Ahlert and Dennis Drake's coy, flabby script is woefully lacking in the one indispensable ingredient of urbane comedy -- great banter." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 14, 2003	Down With Love (2003)	60%
	"... a plot that would be old hat as a two-parter on a sitcom ..." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 1, 2003	The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)	40%

	"The movie is too amateurishly square to make the most of its own ironic implications." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 23, 2003	Charly (2002)	20%
	"A puffy-faced Steven Seagal, as an undercover Fed posing as a convict, ties on a doo-rag, exchanges longing buddy-movie glances with a couple of jaunty rap artists (Ja Rule and Kurupt) and goes lumbering off to battle." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 14, 2002	Half Past Dead (2002)	2%
	"In the final reel, the tension dissipates with a flabby hiss, as the film devolves into a banal, conventional ghost story." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 17, 2002	The Ring (2002)	72%
	"Incoherence reigns." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 17, 2002	Naqoyqatsi (2002)	49%
	"At times the deck is egregiously stacked." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 30, 2002	ABCD (2001)	65%
	"The overall vibe is druggy and self-indulgent, like a spring-break orgy for pretentious arts majors." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 19, 2002	The Burning Sensation (2002)	29%
	"It's possible that something hip and transgressive was being attempted here that stubbornly refused to gel, but the result is more puzzling than unsettling." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 19, 2002	Ted Bundy (2002)	38%
	"[Evans is] a fascinating character, and deserves a better vehicle than this facetious smirk of a movie." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 25, 2002	The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002)	91%
3/5	"As if to compensate for this lack of focus, all the spats are enacted at maximum volume, pitched so high that we often don't know how to take them." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 12, 2001	Double Take (2001)	13%
2.5/5	"[Dracula is] never a force of evil of mythic proportions; he seems small-minded and even whiny." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 25, 2000	Dracula 2000 (2000)	15%
	"Man on the Moon doesn't really try to get to the bottom of the sadness in Kaufman; it takes his desperation for granted and milks it for sniffles." -- IFilm Posted Jan 1, 2000	Man on the Moon (1999)	60%
	"As garishly uninspired as an average UPN sitcom episode." -- IFilm Posted Jan 1, 2000	Next Friday (1999)	21%
	"The movie is dismaying enough; thinking about its huge potential audience is downright terrifying." -- IFilm Posted Jan 1, 2000	Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000)	25%
	"So relentlessly unpleasant that it could have been knowingly designed as the reductio ad absurdum of the heartless, empty, violence-as-sideshow thriller." -- IFilm Posted Jan 1, 2000	Reindeer Games (2000)	24%
	"To Kill a Mockingbird with fish and snow." -- IFilm Posted Jan 1, 2000	Snow Falling on Cedars (1999)	40%
	"The cinematic equivalent of a good cop/bad cop work-over." -- IFilm Posted Jan 1, 2000	The Green Mile (1999)	79%
1/5	"*It delivers bald-faced variations on devices that were originally deployed, albeit with a redeeming glint of irony, in the Scream* films and in Scary Movie.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Jan 1, 2000	Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)	9%
