5/5	"A product of these troubled times, the sequel to 2005�s Batman Begins includes nods to terrorism, domestic surveillance and even sanctioned torture. But one of its greatest feats is to capture our collective anxiety over the resurgent politics of hope." Posted Jul 24, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
	"We'll continue to experience befuddlement verging on disgust whenever we're reminded of Sex and the City (so named, we suppose, because Seriously Rethinking Third-Wave Feminism reads like ass on a poster)." Posted May 30, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
3/5	"[Director] McCarthy has an undeniable way with actors, and it sustains our interest in this overt Good Samaritan tale." Posted May 1, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
	"It�s about time somebody brought the wide-eyed wonder back to movies, and it�s wonder indeed we experience whenever we get to witness the divine Ms. Adams at work." Posted Mar 7, 2008	Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)	78%
1/5	"Our heroines set out to prove to the school that it's just as important to pick your BFFs on the basis of shared shopping practices. Calling that a positive spin takes some serious ballz -- as does trapping Jon Voight in his most embarrassing role..." Posted Aug 2, 2007	Bratz: The Movie (2007)	7%
5/5	"The plot is as hilariously bombastic as the ones boob-tube producers used to spin off onto the big screen before they discovered the concept of the Very Special Episode." Posted Jul 26, 2007	The Simpsons Movie (2007)	89%
3/5	"Impressive not because of anything that�s said, but for the realization that you�re watching the screen be dominated by Jessica Alba and a piece of CGI without ever once experiencing the urge to gnaw through your own shoulder." Posted Jun 21, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
2.5/5	"What we have here is an otherwise respectable period drama that keeps descending to an after-school-special level of bluntness." Posted Jan 25, 2007	Sweet Land (2006)	83%

4.5/5	"*You don�t have to have spent more than five minutes in the presence of a professional magician to recognize that Edward Norton has their entire act down." Posted Aug 31, 2006*	The Illusionist (2006)	75%
1/5	"I can't think of a human activity I'd recommend less than watching this hackneyed, straining-to-be-lurid domestic drama." Posted Aug 31, 2006	The Quiet (2006)	22%
2.5/5	"The movie can't decide if it wants to be a well-observed urban relationship drama or a madcap comedy." Posted Aug 31, 2006	Trust the Man (2006)	27%
3/5	"At a certain point, the baldly borrowed story elements go from cute to plain lazy, and you notice that Benjamin�s and Patton's characters -- introduced as friends from childhood -- share almost no scenes." Posted Aug 31, 2006	Idlewild (2006)	48%
3/5	"Snakes was the best instantly disposable cinematic event I've attended since Bride of Chucky was launched on an unsuspecting world eight years ago." Posted Aug 24, 2006	Snakes on a Plane (2006)	70%
3/5	"Long on winning attitude but not what you�d call consistent, the movie will do simply anything for a laugh." Posted Aug 17, 2006	Accepted (2006)	36%
4/5	"*Beneath its oddball veneer, Little Miss Sunshine* is a knowing injunction against a society that requires every American to be a winner, when simply being a human being used to be enough.*" Posted Aug 17, 2006*	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	91%
4.5/5	"... just about a perfect doc, railing authoritatively against a disgraceful chapter in the annals of American business." Posted Aug 10, 2006	Who Killed The Electric Car? (2006)	89%
2/5	"Atrocious writing takes its toll on the cast�s considerable energy, which is best showcased in dance sequences that could have been a lot longer given the cloying melodrama that�s the viewing alternative." Posted Aug 10, 2006	Step Up (2006)	20%
3.5/4	"Sometimes, holding up even a small mirror to contemporary anxieties is enough, which The Night Listener does by skillfully exploiting a mass distrust that�s currently reverberating from book clubs to the blogosphere." Posted Aug 3, 2006	The Night Listener (2006)	41%
1.5/5	"*Vile. Nasty. Crude. Base. Ugly. Everything that's bad about 21st-century gender relations can be found in Ivan Reitman's dopily noxious Super Ex." Posted Jul 27, 2006*	My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)	41%
1/5	"Never has the evidence been so clear that a once-promising director has gone completely insane, yet seldom has said proof been so all-fired dull." Posted Jul 27, 2006	Lady in the Water (2006)	24%
1.5/5	"The flick�s girl-power aesthetic frequently gets lost in the madcap shuffle of elaborate, high-tech adventures that are far beyond the capabilities of actual teens." Posted Jul 27, 2006	John Tucker Must Die (2006)	25%
2/4	"Nobody appears to have put much effort into this thing." Posted Jul 27, 2006	Scoop (2006)	37%
2/5	"There�s no real rhythm or ingenuity to the story." Posted Jul 27, 2006	Miami Vice (2006)	48%
3.5/5	"It's up to the consistently fluid ensemble acting and colloquially sound dialogue to keep things on track, which they do admirably." Posted Jul 20, 2006	Quality of Life (2004)	64%
3/4	"Monster House is professionally assembled and contains a good amount of irreverent fun; as an adult, I dug a lot of it." Posted Jul 20, 2006	Monster House (2006)	73%
1.5/5	"Laugh-free, derivative, punishingly long 'comedy.'" Posted Jul 20, 2006	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
2/5	"*Most of A Scanner Darkly* is a wasted opportunity, with B+-list stars paint-boxed onto a third plane where not very much happens at all.*" Posted Jul 13, 2006*	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	67%
3/5	"*A coulda-been classic ends up feeling variously like a particularly undisciplined director's cut and (shudder!) a Jerry Bruckheimer picture." Posted Jul 6, 2006*	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	54%
4/5	"A rousing endorsement of the principles of fair play and communication." Posted Jul 6, 2006	Wordplay (2006)	95%
2/5	"What it lacks is an inspired moment of unleashed rage -- the kind that have always kept Sandler's romps redeemable." Posted Jun 29, 2006	Click (2006)	31%
	"So 30 of the 150 or so minutes are a bust. There�s still ample reason to see the thing in first run, if only for the chance to be part of an audience that cheers en masse at the exorcism of its darkest, most up-to-date fears." Posted Jun 29, 2006	Superman Returns (2006)	77%
3.5/5	"Chinese filmmaker Xiao Jiang makes an impressive debut with an extended flashback about two cinema-crazed kids coming of age amid the communist revolution of the early 1970s." Posted Jun 22, 2006	Electric Shadows ()	80%
2.5/5	"It's just kinda there, content to spin a woozily whimsical story." Posted Jun 22, 2006	Nacho Libre (2006)	38%
	"*This is the Altman of Nashville, back to inhabiting the performer�s world with thoroughness and infectious affection." Posted Jun 8, 2006*	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	80%
	"With nothing genuine invested in either character, we can focus fully on how bland and churlish they are." Posted Jun 8, 2006	The Break-Up (2006)	34%
4/5	"All the pat plotting and discourse in the world can't extinguish the fire of a film this well-intended, sensitively acted and beautifully filmed." Posted Jun 8, 2006	Water (2006)	91%
	"Those who have seen the original will be nonplussed by every identical plot development, while younger viewers used to the breakneck luridness of today�s Fangoria-approved freakouts will wonder why this one is so slow and ponderous." Posted Jun 8, 2006	The Omen (2006)	26%
	"*The creative mind rot that was foretold by The Incredibles* comes home with full, Lamborghini-against-a-brick-wall force in a dull highway opera that�s only notable for its technical achievements.*" Posted Jun 8, 2006*	Cars (2006)	75%
	"A cute and worthy idea that could've used better execution." Posted Jun 8, 2006	Keeping Up With The Steins (2006)	35%
	"*In the context of an action cinema driven by false hope, misogyny and sadism, Serenity* is an inspiring respite.*" Posted May 27, 2006*	Serenity (2005)	82%
	"*You�d think director Ron Howard would remember that film is supposed to be a visual medium, but the inert Code* has less dynamic content than a Sunday-school filmstrip.*" Posted May 25, 2006*	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%
	"*At 98 minutes, Addict* demands an investment not repaid by its basic unpleasantness.*" Posted May 25, 2006*	I am a Sex Addict (2005)	65%
	"Mol's emotional openness provides an invaluable through line as the movie teaches by suggestion, having us connect the dots to determine how a simple, good-hearted gal could go from the church pews of Tennessee to starring on T-shirts at Hot Topic." Posted May 25, 2006	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	55%
	"A marginal Britcom." Posted May 25, 2006	Kinky Boots (2006)	57%
	"The Last Stand is fitfully entertaining, but lurking at the edge of almost every frame is a reminder that you�re watching a genre exercise with no real talent or affection at its core." Posted May 25, 2006	X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)	56%
	"Petersen opts for a 'straight, updated' approach that�s actually more ludicrous." Posted May 18, 2006	Poseidon (2006)	33%
	"Just in case Pixar has forgotten (and all signs seem to indicate that they may have), this is how to make an animated movie that wholly deserves the oft-abused designation 'fun for the whole family.'" Posted May 18, 2006	Over the Hedge (2006)	73%
	"Affleck makes a perfectly downcast lightning rod for the ennui-ridden goings-on, and as a director, Buscemi totally gets the defeatist beats of James C. Strouse�s script." Posted May 10, 2006	Lonesome Jim (2006)	58%
	"The movie is variously a dewy plea for tolerance, a sporting Cinderella story, a father/ son reconciliation drama and a 'will success spoil Rock Hunter?' cautionary tale. In other words, it�s four movies you didn�t especially need to see again." Posted May 10, 2006	Goal! (2006)	43%
