4/4
 
"Nolan hasn't simply made a popcorn movie for brainiacs. He's an increasingly self-assured director of action sequences."

"Continuing a string of successes that pit Pixar films against only other Pixar films in terms of quality animation, WALL•E makes the count nine masterpieces in a row."

"The nicest surprise about Kung Fu Panda is that it's so much better than the goofy-cutesy title would lead you to expect."

"Martin Scorsese meets the Rolling Stones in Shine a Light. The synergy is so brilliant, it's nearly blinding."

"A raw, touching, unfiltered look at the teenage angst that Hollywood usually turns into brain-dead comedy."
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Billy the Kid (2007)88%

4/4
 
"A work of stunning intelligence and dramatic sweep, a portrait of a young nation struggling to find itself, torn between religious and business values."

"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly tells one extraordinary man's story so well that it reflects vividly on our own."

"Some scary movies can stand your hair on end. A few can make your skin crawl. The Mist gave me the feeling I was being scalped with an icicle."

Stephen King's The Mist (2007)71%

"Adams is daffy and delicious in a star-making role, and the script, direction and music are spot-on."

"The family dynamics are skillfully rendered, the suspense is bruising and each man's performance is a revelation."

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)88%
/
4/4
 
"The film is as lean and mean as a barbed-wire necktie, darkly funny and much deeper than the average crime thriller."
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
No Country for Old Men (2007)95%
/
4/4
 
"Absurd enough to delight kids, overstuffed with verbal and visual in-jokes for grownups, it's a 90-minute joyride that barely pauses for breath. This is unquestionably the best movie that ever began as a bad pun."
Posted Nov 1, 2007
 
Bee Movie (2007)52%

4/4
 
"A throwback to trim, intelligent moral thrillers like The Verdict and Absence of Malice."

Eastern Promises (2007)88%

4/4
 
"Superbad maintains that delicate balance of sweetness, empathy and vulgar comedy. It's so packed with irreverent lowbrow wit that you scarcely notice how it quietly shifts from gross-out jokes to adult themes."

Superbad (2007)87%

"It's a gearhead's dream come true, with cool robots, hot girls, big explosions and broad jokes."
Posted Jul 2, 2007
 
Transformers (2007)57%
/
4/4
 
"It's not just the computer animation that is vibrantly three-dimensional. It's also the well-rounded characters... I defy you to name another animated film so overflowing with superfluous beauty."
Posted Jun 28, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)95%
/
4/4
 
"Dahan and Cotillard have created an amazing biopic of an extraordinary voice attached to a fragile and fallible woman."
Posted Jun 14, 2007
 
La Vie En Rose (2007)75%

"The film has the energy of a relentless action thriller, memorable characters and significant ideas."

"A hypnotically absorbing suspense story in the Patricia Highsmith mold, Red Road draws us in with doom-laden images of high-tech voyeurism before pummeling us with shock twists."

Red Road (2007)89%

"Veber, clearly a fan of the golden age comedies of Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks and Preston Sturges, is a worthy successor."
Posted Apr 19, 2007
 
The Valet (2007)68%

4/4
 
"The Host works on so many levels simultaneously that it's like getting a film series for the price of one. You must, must, must see this movie."

"It is a wall-to-wall canvas of expressionist ultraviolence."

Brand Upon The Brain! (2006)91%

"The exceptionally acted film, nominated for a foreign-language Oscar, is an incisive character study, a suspenseful paranoid thriller and a vivid recreation of recent history."

The Lives of Others (2006)93%

"Pan's Labyrinth is beautifully shot and designed, but it's the acting that makes it a remarkable emotional journey."

4/4
 
"Humanizing our old adversaries doesn't erase their war crimes, and Eastwood doesn't whitewash the brutality of Japanese militarism. His point is that the Emperor's infantrymen were as much the victims of the Japanese war machine as the GIs they fought."
Posted Jan 13, 2007
 
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)91%

4/4
 
"A beautifully observed, profoundly moving tale of suburban malaise."

Little Children (2006)81%

4/4
 
"Cuarón also pulls us deep into the engrossing universe he has created. There is a stark absence of gadget porn in this futuristic adventure; the most advanced device we see is a video game, innovation at its most trivial."
Posted Jan 4, 2007
 
Children of Men (2006)92%
/
4/4
 
"Effectively balanced between the nonfiction muckraking of Eric Schlosser's bestselling exposé and the loosely structured character drama of Richard Linklater's adaptation, the film is fascinating food for thought."
Posted Nov 16, 2006
 
Fast Food Nation (2006)51%
/
4/4
 
"Conceptually brilliant and fearlessly executed, it rewrites the rules of screen comedy, presenting something never before seen on film: a gene-splice of Andy Kaufman's high-wire character humor and caught-on-the-street pranks from Punk'd."
Posted Nov 2, 2006
 
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)91%
/
4/4
 
"Eastwood's skeptical film is respectful of the patriots who gave everything in the service of their country, but it pointedly leaves the flag-waving to others."
Posted Oct 19, 2006
 
Flags of Our Fathers (2006)73%
/
4/4
 
"Coppola's film is a superior achievement, a story as rich and resonant as its protagonist is hollow."
Posted Oct 19, 2006
 
Marie Antoinette (2006)54%
/
4/4
 
"If the story suffers initially from a slight lack of focus, hang in there, because you will soon become immersed in a mesmerizing, expertly plotted cat-and-mouse game."
Posted Oct 5, 2006
 
The Departed (2006)92%
/
4/4
 
"A riveting firsthand look at the conflict on the battlefield, in the barracks, and on the home front, unfiltered by any partisan prejudice."
Posted Sep 14, 2006
 
The War Tapes (2006)98%
/
4/4
 
"It delivers all the thrills, suspense and amazement fans could demand of a comic book story, leaping from scene to scene with superheroic agility."

Superman Returns (2006)77%
/
4/4
 
"Puiu maintains a strong current of suspense about the outcome -- despite the title, will this Lazarus be revived? --- and a bracingly cynical sense of humor that rescues the material from being a total downer."
Posted Jun 15, 2006
 
The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)93%
/
4/4
 
"A lucid, evenhanded look at the dangers that face democracy and the rule of law in an unending cycle of terrorism and counterterrorism."
Posted Apr 6, 2006
 
State of Fear: The Truth About Terrorism (2006)100%
/

"To watch the film is to feel the delicious discomfort of being seduced by a devilish charmer."
Posted Mar 30, 2006
 
Thank You For Smoking (2006)86%

4/4
 
"A gallery of brilliantly realized, graceful and sensual presentations. No one who loves music or dance should miss this."

"It has become shorthand to call Brokeback Mountain the 'gay cowboy movie,' but it is much more than that glib description implies. This is a human story, a haunting film in the tradition of the great Hollywood romantic melodramas."
Posted Dec 20, 2005
 
Brokeback Mountain (2005)87%
/
4/4
 
"Serkis' contribution truly is something we've never seen, an entirely new category of computer-enhanced acting. With not a word of dialogue, he brings to life a close cousin to man with whom we can empathize, yet is never too human-like."
Posted Dec 14, 2005
 
King Kong (2005)84%

"There's no mistaking the sound of Johnny Cash, and Walk the Line gets it just right."
