"Reprise applies beguiling visual and narrative schemes to a well-worn tale of friendly twenty-something rivals forced into awkward choices as they become adults."
Posted May 13, 2008
 
Reprise (2008)95%
/
 
"Solemn and high-handed even when its characters are beating each other to a pulp."
Posted Apr 30, 2008
 
Redbelt (2008)72%
/
 
"A surprisingly well-paced and satisfying kung-fu adventure that honors its stars and treats their story respectfully."
Posted Apr 15, 2008
 
The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)62%
/
 
"Those with a taste for bone-crushing martial arts executed with real skill and flair are not likely to find anything better on American screens for some time."
Posted Mar 18, 2008
 
Flash Point (2008)47%
/
 
"An outstanding example of what can be accomplished in large-format documentaries."
Posted Mar 18, 2008
 
Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk (2008)86%
/
 
"Sanders and his crew are expert at building scenes from whatever shots they could grab, under extremely demanding circumstances. "
Posted Mar 7, 2008
 
Fighting for Life (2008)87%
/
 
"An astute, careful director, Walker provides a clear view of events without seeming to take sides."
Posted Mar 6, 2008
 
Blindsight (2008)100%
/
 
"Chow himself is extremely winning whenever he is on screen, but this is first and foremost a kids' film, not a vehicle for the one of the best comics currently working in movies."
Posted Mar 5, 2008
 
CJ7 (2008)45%
/
 
"The film gets mired in pointless, drawn-out jokes about bodily functions and sex between pets."
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)25%
/
 
"While the tour looks like it had an appealingly ragged spontaneity and goofiness, the film itself is a chore to sit through at times."
Posted Feb 7, 2008
 
Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)56%
/
 
"Over Her Dead Body will find its best audience on airplane flights, where viewers will be unable to get up and leave without parachutes."
Posted Feb 5, 2008
 
Over Her Dead Body (2008)13%
/
 
"Offers scenic locations, some passable special effects, a couple of large-scale battles, and an exceptionally incongruous cast ill-served by feeble scripting and indifferent direction."
Posted Jan 14, 2008
 
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)5%
/
 
"Heigl deserves a better vehicle."
Posted Jan 14, 2008
 
27 Dresses (2008)39%
/
 
"A devastating account of detainees killed, soldiers corrupted and principles abandoned."
Posted Jan 9, 2008
 
Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)100%
/
 
"The clues here are less interesting than before, and their explanations slow the film down like molasses."
Posted Dec 21, 2007
 
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)32%
/
 
"Sluggish, humorless and pointlessly graphic, it will appeal to only the most desperate genre junkie."
Posted Nov 20, 2007
 
Hitman (2007)15%
/
 
"An expert blend of comedy, romance and adventure, Enchanted will be just as fun for adults as for children. "
Posted Nov 20, 2007
 
Enchanted (2007)94%
/
 
"Less an adventure than a confused message drama about Japanese military preparedness, it will have trouble building even a niche audience."
Posted Nov 20, 2007
 
Midnight Eagle (2007)25%
/
 
"All three stories ultimately feel too glib and superficial to make any lasting contribution to the debate on Iraq."
Posted Nov 8, 2007
 
Lions for Lambs (2007)28%
/
 
"Has one trick up its sleeve, and once that trick is revealed, the film collapses in on itself in a manner that will irritate more viewers than it intrigues."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Slipstream (2007)24%
/
 
"Every aspect of Gavin Hood's direction underlines the "importance" of the project."
Posted Oct 18, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)47%
/
 
"Fans of gritty, intense cop films won't be bothered by... significant flaws; others will have the pleasure of seeing accomplished actors dig into meaty roles."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
We Own The Night (2007)55%
/
 
"Destined to be a staple of the large-format repertoire."
Posted Oct 12, 2007
 
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (2007)100%
/
 
"Better than the ordeal it often threatens to become."
Posted Sep 27, 2007
 
The Game Plan (2007)27%
/
 
"A grimly efficient horror thriller that delivers exactly what the other two entries did: monsters, gore, and a heavily armed Milla Jovovich in boots and garters."
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)22%
/
 
"A film that manages to remove just about everything that makes soap operas entertaining."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Silk (2007)8%
/
 
"Tightly plotted, expertly acted, Michael Clayton is a challenging, satisfying corporate thriller"
Posted Sep 13, 2007
 
Michael Clayton (2007)91%
/
 
"Maintaining a surprisingly light touch and upbeat tone... Shoot 'Em Up is one of this year's best guilty pleasures."
Posted Sep 4, 2007
 
Shoot 'Em Up (2007)67%
/
 
"Dark in tone and almost devoid of humor, it proves that a serious, workmanlike effort can still pay off."
Posted Aug 27, 2007
 
War (2007)14%
/
 
"The movie isn't manic enough to qualify as pulp or coherent enough to serve as a social critique."
Posted Aug 24, 2007
 
Illegal Tender (2007)13%
/
 
"Peculiar structural decisions result in a documentary that alternates between mildly informative and grossly voyeuristic."
Posted Aug 21, 2007
 
Manda Bala (2007)80%
/
 
"A great opportunity to find out why fans value [To's] work so highly."
Posted Aug 13, 2007
 
Exiled (2007)81%
/
 
"By far the worst film in the series, and marks career low points for just about everyone involved."
Posted Aug 9, 2007
 
Rush Hour 3 (2007)20%
/
 
"For the most part a lighthearted, entertaining adventure that works best when it doesn't take itself too seriously."
Posted Aug 9, 2007
 
Stardust (2007)76%
/
 
"It is difficult to fault a film that only asks for an end to an unfathomably evil campaign that has left some 400,000 dead, and another 2.5 million homeless."
Posted Jul 26, 2007
 
The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)98%
/
 
"Should be required viewing for anyone who thinks the Iraq war is progressing according to plan."
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
No End in Sight (2007)94%
/
 
"A lot more interesting, and challenging, than its premise suggests."
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
Vitus (2007)65%
/
 
"The story is essentially about hunks of scrap metal blowing each other up."
Posted Jul 3, 2007
 
Transformers (2007)57%
/
 
"The film rescues the franchise from irrelevance by returning to what made the original a hit: spectacular set-pieces, brutal action and crisp acting."
Posted Jun 27, 2007
 
Live Free or Die Hard (2007)80%
/
 
"If you are willing to believe that a hit man can find redemption, you may find You Kill Me one of the most stimulating films of the year."
Posted Jun 12, 2007
 
You Kill Me (2007)79%
/
 
"It's easier to respect Crialese's accomplishments than understand his characters."
Posted May 24, 2007
 
Golden Door (2007)71%
/
 
"Bana is unable to find any signs of life in his character, Barrymore hasn't looked this adrift in years, and even Duvall is reduced to grimacing like Snidely Whiplash."
Posted May 7, 2007
 
Lucky You (2007)28%
/
 
"Half of Next is a clever, unpredictable thriller... the other half is a sloppy, bloated adventure marred by cheesy special effects and some equally cheesy acting."
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Next (2007)30%
/
 
"Further proof that Johnnie To is one of the medium's most accomplished directors."
Posted Apr 26, 2007
 
Triad Election (2007)96%
/
 
"Turns history into the equivalent of a horror movie, one with a less-than-stellar cast and some serious plot holes."
Posted Apr 13, 2007
 
Pathfinder (2007)11%
/
 
"Fine up to a point."
Posted Apr 13, 2007
 
Perfect Stranger (2007)10%

"The Reaping does at least prove the old axiom that the Devil comes in many forms, one of them celluloid."
Posted Apr 5, 2007
 
The Reaping (2007)8%
/
 
"An excuse for indifferently executed slapstick involving Ice Cube, who contributes little more than a series of snarls and scowls to the proceedings."
Posted Apr 4, 2007
 
Are We Done Yet? (2007)8%
/
 
"Meet the Robinsons frequently bogs down into endless exposition, with dialogue that is pleasant but rarely funny."
Posted Mar 31, 2007
 
Meet the Robinsons (2007)66%
/
 
"What Gonera does well is to invest the film and its characters with Ellis' bywords--pride, determination and resilience."
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Pride (2007)46%
