" Allah may have made these men funny, but he didn't bestow much in the way of filmmaking skills."

Allah Made Me Funny (2008)52%

1.5/4
 
" A movie in which road rage is justified. Yours will be, too, if you spend $10 on this."

Death Race (2008)43%

2.5/4
 
" Rickman's fish-out-of-water act (in farm country, the man never loses his suit and tie) makes for Bottle Shock's sunniest moments."

" Old lady on the road takes a memory trip, giving Burstyn a chance to shine."

2/4
 
" I'm not sure what's more depressing: seeing potential tween megastar Abigail Breslin underused or watching Jodie Foster clutching a Progresso soup can for dear life and smacking head-first into a tree."
Posted Apr 4, 2008
 
Nim's Island (2008)48%

" [Director] Penn could not have selected a more spoof-worthy venue than the world of high-stakes Texas Hold 'Em, and he has packed his film with actors -- many of them sitcom or sketch comedy stars -- who get the point of the exercise."

The Grand ()40%

2.5/4
 
" Contending that America's mothers would be far better off if deliveries were taken out of the hands of obstetricians and hospitals, director/producer Abby Epstein and executive producer Ricki Lake will push buttons, but they won't jab them."
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
The Business Of Being Born (2008)77%

3.5/4
 
" Assembled from Reilly's final performance of Save It for the Stage in North Hollywood, Life of Reilly is as charming and disarmingly affecting as the man himself."

" You might expect a serious-minded movie about a troubled kid who really thinks he's from Mars to confront the fact that this kid really is troubled. Not so much, here."

Martian Child (2007)30%

3/4
 
" These teams may be genuinely awful, or simply overmatched, but [director]Greenwald honors them, their brainy players and their Job-like coaches alike."

Quantum Hoops (2007)80%

" Feels like a TV movie."

" Radcliffe -- in full benevolent leadership -- clearly has a future as a young adult performer once he shelves Harry Potter's wand once and for all."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
December Boys (2007)43%

3/4
 
" Gavras' film captures both the time period and the queasy inconsistencies of childhood. And in Kervel, Gavras has found a real gem."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
Blame it on Fidel (2006)93%
/
2/4
 
" Jeff Garlin, the former Second City actor who plays Larry David's manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm, has spun his solo show into a movie that's, alas, pretty light on laughs."
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007)74%

1.5/4
 
" At least they don't have the girls dolled up as the next freshman class at Lap Dancing Tech."

Bratz: The Movie (2007)7%

2.5/4
 
" Grunge and slickness substitute for eeriness or any hint of psychological terror."
Posted Jul 27, 2007
 
Macbeth (2007)46%

2.5/4
 
" This might play funnier and less off-putting were if Frederick's Margie was not so disquietingly desperate."
Posted May 18, 2007
 
Hollywood Dreams (2007)38%
/
2/4
 
" The friends, the neighborhood, the loyalty, the bloodshed, Alec Baldwin playing a bad-ass wise guy... feel free to stop me when all this stops sounding familiar."
Posted May 18, 2007
 
Brooklyn Rules (2007)47%
/
2/4
 
" [Director] Zielinski's attempts at serving up grunge and grittiness largely fall flat. Scenes of sex and drug use are typically accompanied by a swooning and intrusive soundtrack."
Posted May 11, 2007
 
Downtown: A Street Tale (2007)30%
/
2.5/4
 
" Possessed of one of the most hangdog faces in Hollywood, Hall meshes expertly with the movie's hopeful sadness. That we watch him toting a live duck around without once losing his dignity -- or breaking out in laughter -- has to count for something."
Posted May 11, 2007
 
Duck (2007)47%

2/4
 
" Bateman, who played a good guy on Arrested Development, proves rather easy to despise, especially once his malevolence loses its comic edge."
Posted May 11, 2007
 
The Ex (2007)19%

2.5/4
 
" Next is a series of artfully choreographed linked pursuits with Moore convincing as the hard-nosed leader of the pursuit team."
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Next (2007)29%

3.5/4
 
" Apart from leaning a bit much on his soundtrack and letting Olympia Dukakis indulge her crazy-granny jones, Kasdan does his work with a largely steady hand."
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
In the Land of Women (2007)43%

3/4
 
" The TV Set, written and directed by longtime tube toiler Jake Kasdan, gets it both right and funny."

The TV Set (2007)65%

1.5/4
 
" Amidst such mayhem, there isn't much for a two time Oscar winner like Swank to do with herself, except reach out soulfully to the girl who may be the Antichrist."

The Reaping (2007)8%

" The action is breakneck and practically uninterrupted. We're talking a young boy's dream come true."

TMNT (2007)33%

2.5/4
 
" As an exercise in watching a bad guy burrow too deeply into a good guy's head, Antibodies proves more gross than psychologically unsettling."
Posted Feb 16, 2007
 
Antibodies (2005)61%
/
2/4
 
" Mirren and Gooding are interesting -- and sexy -- to watch together. Once she leaves the film, the picture loses a bit of its uniqueness."
Posted Dec 30, 2006
 
Shadowboxer (2006)20%

3/4
 
" Garapedian and producer Peter McAlevey offer much to ponder, not to mention a group with more than fame on its mind."
Posted Dec 8, 2006
 
Screamers (2006)66%

2.5/4
 
" Stockman's attempts to distinguish Two Weeks from the formulaic family drama weepies are largely in vain."

Two Weeks (2007)19%

" 3 Needles, Thom Fitzgerald's globe-spanning investigation of the effects of AIDS, may ultimately be a call to unity, but there's an extreme amount of despair and misery before we get to hear that trumpet blare."
Posted Dec 1, 2006
 
3 Needles (2006)35%

3/4
 
" A coming-of-age tale that proves as gentle as its subject is wild."

Flicka (2006)54%

1.5/4
 
" There's not much about The Marine that's even slightly diverting. Including, alas, John Cena, the film's villain-dispatching star."
Posted Oct 13, 2006
 
The Marine (2006)21%

" Mr. Palminteri's primary duties include glowering at henchmen Bruno and Roscoe, saying 'get me that diamond' a few times and, ultimately, taking a toy airplane to the crotch."
Posted Jul 14, 2006
 
Little Man (2006)13%

1.5/4
 
" This movie is intended for young audiences whose animal fix could be infinitely better-served watching creatures at a bark park or petting zoo."
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)11%
/
2/4
 
" The Wild is not a sequel to last year's delightful Madagascar. Rather it's a half-baked zoo animal quest story buoyed by a father-and-son-learn-a-valuable-lesson reconciliation."
Posted Apr 14, 2006
 
The Wild (2006)19%
/
2.5/4
 
" With a few too many characters and plot fibers to track and about 100 minutes to do it, Miller goes for easy resolutions and leaves a lot of questions unanswered."
Posted Mar 31, 2006
 
Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006)24%
/
3/4
 
" Dog fanciers and lovers of white-out arctic-looking scenery should be plenty pleased."

" The resulting ride is nearly irresistible."

Hoodwinked (2006)48%

" It contains a wry, throwback charm."
Posted Sep 2, 2005

" This is a roller coaster that's actually fun to ride."
Posted May 13, 2005
 
Mindhunters (2005)26%

2.5/4
 
" A sweet and easy tale, certainly, but is it really the strongest use of a couple of grand Dames?"
Posted Apr 29, 2005
 
Ladies in Lavender (2005)61%
/
2.5/4
 
" This is a safe, edgeless cinematic after-school special."
Posted Mar 18, 2005
 
Ice Princess (2005)53%
/
3/4
 
" The revelation of the film is not Bernal but D'Arcy, who loafs from a callow throwaway part into something a heck of a lot more interesting."
Posted Mar 11, 2005
 
Dot the I (2005)25%

0/4
 
" If there is any thought more singularly horrifying than that of a mask franchise, may it never enter this critic's humble noggin."
Posted Feb 18, 2005
 
Son of the Mask (2005)5%
/
3/4
 
" Mulcahy has the good sense not to make those important races big, climactic scenes. Their results are not what's important here."
Posted Feb 4, 2005
 
Swimming Upstream (2005)61%

3/4
 
" The movie has its charm."

Racing Stripes (2005)34%

" Weber is a sly raconteur with great names to drop, and his doggie footage is a kick."
Posted Jan 7, 2005
 
A Letter to True (2004)52%
/
1.5/4
 
" Games shouldn't be movies. Yu-Gi-Oh! is the (barely) living proof."
Posted Aug 13, 2004
 
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (2004)5%
/
2.5/4
 
" The premise -- scripted by Leigh Dunlap with a reported uncredited polish by Callie Khouri -- is largely preposterous, but Rosman embraces rather than evades those obstacles."
