68/100
 
"Neither terrible nor memorable, Untraceable is the sort of movie that lives up to its name %u2013 within an hour of seeing it, memories of it will vanish without a trace."
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Untraceable (2008)15%
/
88/100
 
"Featuring one of the most complex and interesting lead characters you will ever find in the movies, Paul Thomas Anderson's film marks a big step forward for the director."
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
There Will Be Blood (2007)92%
/
86/100
 
"Regardless of what one thinks of David Lean and his old fashioned style, the results here - save perhaps for the casting of Alec Guinness as a Hindu professor - are exquisite."
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
A Passage to India (1984)86%
/
72/100
 
"While director Jerry Zucker seems to have been intent on dragging the film to the mushy middle, it's still more entertaining than most comparable Middle Ages-set movies."
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
First Knight (1995)46%
/
71/100
 
"Awfully uneven, sometimes not funny at all, but John C. Reilly is so goofily sincere and Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow include enough comedic gems to make it worthwhile."
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)75%
/
75/100
 
"The story nicely interweaves the legend of the Loch Ness monster with a tale of childhood angst, wartime drama and adventure."
Posted Apr 17, 2008

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%
/
88/100
 
"Retains the Coen brothers' trademark quirkiness, and it certainly goes all out. But it's also subtle in ways we haven't seen before."
Posted Apr 15, 2008
 
No Country for Old Men (2007)95%
/
77/100
 
"A skilfully made and subtly powerful film, with a disarmingly human protagonist whose efforts seem all the more real, given his weaknesses and the movie's authentic feel."
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
The Kite Runner (2007)67%
/
76/100
 
"It may not win over diehard Disney haters, and it doesn't qualify as great filmmaking, but I bet kids will be enjoying this one for decades to come."
Posted Apr 8, 2008
 
Enchanted (2007)93%
/
70/100
 
"Without a particularly strong storyline and loaded with only modestly enjoyable gags, it putts along like a familiar old jalopy, reasonably likeable if eminently forgettable."
Posted Apr 1, 2008
 
Bee Movie (2007)52%
/
89/100
 
"Sweet, perceptive, sharp and near-perfect, Juno is a memorable film that will still be great viewing decades after its release."
Posted Mar 31, 2008
 
Juno (2007)93%
/
69/100
 
"Writer/ director Peter Hedges likes to touch on deeper emotional truths, but he doesn't have the courage to really probe his characters' struggles in a meaningful way."
Posted Mar 26, 2008
 
Dan in Real Life (2007)65%

The Aristocats (1970)63%

85/100
 
"Sean Penn deserves huge credit for the gentle hand he has used in telling this incredible story."
Posted Mar 19, 2008
 
Into the Wild (2007)83%
/
61/100
 
"Michael Haneke has made a film that's neither smart nor powerful, but instead just miserable and disrespectful of its audience, and nothing more."
Posted Mar 7, 2008
 
Funny Games (2008)50%
/
76/100
 
"Less than profound, but consistently honest, Things We Lost in the Fire is neither triumphant nor great, but it is meaningful."
Posted Feb 25, 2008
 
Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)64%
/
74/100
 
"If you're looking for something a little bit offbeat, Penelope won't send you diving out any windows to escape its quirky humour and gentle moralizing."
Posted Feb 20, 2008
 
Penelope (2008)52%
/
66/100
 
"If you're prepared to sit through a lot of mediocrity in search of a few worthwhile moments and a couple of actors who rise above the material, then you might be satisfied."

Star Trek - Episode 1 (1966)n/a
/
72/100
 
"Well intentioned, spectacularly filmed, and packing a vital message, Arctic Tale is worthwhile, even if its old style presentation leaves us less than thrilled."
Posted Dec 19, 2007
 
Arctic Tale (2007)62%
/
76/100
 
"As with many icons, the substance amounts to much less than its familiarity, but this is still worthwhile entertainment of an escapist, light and nostalgic sort."
Posted Dec 5, 2007
 
Star Trek - The Complete First Season (1966-1967)n/a
/
76/100
 
"Cute and witty, if a bit too dependent on its delightfully goofy storyline gimmick."
Posted Nov 8, 2007
 
Fido (2007)68%
/
78/100
 
"Given Sarah Silverman's style - smart, taboo-challenging, rude and non-conformist - it's no surprise that her television sit-com is something of an acquired taste."
Posted Oct 29, 2007
 
Sarah Silverman Program - Season One (2007)n/a
/
55/100
 
"Is it dramatically worse than other run-of-the-mill horror/mysteries? Nope. But that's hardly a ringing endorsement."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Reeker (2005)67%
/
73/100
 
"Pleasant but insubstantial, and with characters whose eccentricities feel just a tad forced and artificial, this is a mild diversion of a film."
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Meet the Robinsons (2007)66%
/
43/100
 
"Simply a curiosity, a laughable relic of a failed effort to bring explicit sex movies to the masses."
Posted Oct 23, 2007
 
Caligula (1979)19%
/
60/100
 
"Let's call this one 'Vampire Movies for Dummies', complete with our hero (John Hartnett) having the job of solemnly stating the obvious as a pseudo narrator."
Posted Oct 22, 2007
 
30 Days of Night (2007)49%
/
83/100
 
"Has numerous levels that go far beyond a whodunit, asking us to look at familial ties, gender roles and relations, and the interactions of military and civilian worlds."
Posted Oct 21, 2007
 
In the Valley of Elah (2007)72%
/
86/100
 
"You'd be hard pressed to find a movie that's sexier, or sadder. It's a tragic film that's highly successful as both a wartime thriller and a tale of doomed love"
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Lust, Caution (2007)70%
/
61/100
 
"Neither perceptive nor authentic, it lacks genuine humour and shows what an overwritten and under-funny script, put in the hands of immature actors, can produce."
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
The Game Plan (2007)27%
/
68/100
 
"Shows some significant strengths but ultimately misses the mark due to incompletely developed characters and hesitation to hit home as hard as the subject matter justifies."
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Home of the Brave (2006)23%
/
52/100
 
"Flops because it lacks true tension and certainly can't keep up with the shock value of its gore-filled horror contemporaries."
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Kaw (2007)n/a
/
76/100
 
"Its pessimistic view of the future is as old hat as the superhero premise, but the way it looks most certainly is not. Style over substance? Certainly. But what style!"
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Casshern (2004)57%
/
73/100
 
"Like the characters populating it, this film leaves us with a sense that something is missing, but it's still smart, compelling, offbeat, and worth seeing."
Posted Oct 16, 2007
 
Reign Over Me (2007)64%
/
80/100
 
"Both an enjoyable call-back to the early '70s and a well-acted film that gives Richard Gere a chance to fully exhibit his acting skills."
Posted Oct 16, 2007
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
72/100
 
"There are enough really funny scenes to more than make up for the obnoxiousness and humourless stretches. Not exactly the ringing endorsement you'd hope for."
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)29%
/
62/100
 
"Just another supernatural time travel movie that lacks passion and seemingly evaporates even as you watch."
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
The Seeker (2007)13%
/
82/100
 
"Works both as a tense thriller (complete with a skilfully handled time twist), and as an urgent warning about the track the world is currently on."
Posted Oct 11, 2007
 
Rendition (2007)48%
/
74/100
 
"The story includes too many twists, resulting in a sense of contrivance by film's end. Yet this is still a decent, serious film that's capably directed and very nicely acted."
Posted Oct 9, 2007
 
Gone Baby Gone (2007)94%
/
34/100
 
"The biggest problem with this film is that Mack Polhemus lined up members of his family to play most of the key roles. And, frankly, they can't act."
Posted Oct 6, 2007

The Jungle Book (1994)94%
/
80/100
 
"Reflects a conservative, imperialist, 'don't mix the races/species' worldview. Yet it's also about friendship and truthfulness, and it's just plain fun."
Posted Oct 3, 2007
 
The Jungle Book (1967)88%
/
81/100
 
"While it's most certainly not light viewing, and it's entirely devoid of 'Hollywood moments', this is a fine, intelligent, troubling film."

Shake Hands With the Devil (2005)91%
/
65/100
 
"Sydney White isn't incompetently made. It's not even particularly offensive. It's just very, very uninspired and almost instantly forgettable."
Posted Sep 26, 2007
 
Sydney White (2007)37%
/
76/100
 
"Once the shooting goes quiet it reminds us of the futility of all the violence and hate. But only after our heroes have bagged themselves a goodly number of terrorist scum."
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
The Kingdom (2007)51%
/
42/100
 
"I'm tempted to suggest it was made for 13-year-old boys, but I remember being 13, and I'd have been offended if anyone had suggested movies this awful were made for me."
