"Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair." -- Variety
Posted Jun 23, 2008
 
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)52%
/
 
"Korine's most lavishly produced pic to date begins as a sweet-tempered tale of social misfits-turned-celebrity impersonators, but falls short of its ambition to say something meaningful about the obsessive nature of celebrity culture." -- Variety
Posted May 22, 2008
 
Mister Lonely (2008)43%
/
 
"Mousaian has a sensitive approach, but he does dialogue ('I don’t want to remember the past, man!') nearly as leadenly as he does metaphor." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
Silence of the Sea (2008)n/a
/
 
"An initially promising, but quickly disappointing retread of Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel's hugely influential horror classic." -- Variety
Posted Apr 16, 2008
 
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)34%
/
 
"McCarthy unquestionably means well, but he’s made one of those incredibly naive movies (like last fall''s Rendition) that give liberals -- Hollywood liberals especially -- a bad name." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 10, 2008
 
The Visitor (2008)92%
/
 
"Honoré is not without talent, but Love Songs adds up to considerably less than the sum of its references." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 3, 2008
 
Love Songs (2008)67%
/
 
"Clooney makes us expect the best of him each and every time he takes to the field, and Leatherheads is considerably less than that." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 3, 2008
 
Leatherheads (2008)53%
/
 
"Sincere without being especially memorable." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 27, 2008
 
Stop-Loss (2008)65%
/
 
"Flawless is the sort of movie that tends to get called 'enjoyably old-fashioned,' except that there’s nothing enjoyable about it." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 27, 2008
 
Flawless (2007)59%
/
 
"Nothing in Vantage Point quickens the pulse as much as the realization that, with each successive turn of the wheel, we come one step closer to the end." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 21, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)35%
/
 
"Watching a movie this life-sucking, you start to scour the surroundings for something -- anything -- to hold your interest." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 7, 2008
 
Fool's Gold (2008)10%
/
 
"It's Allen himself who seems to have been cast adrift." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 17, 2008
 
Cassandra's Dream (2008)51%
/
 
"The plot effectively reduces down to one long slog from Spring Street to Central Park South." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jan 17, 2008
 
Cloverfield (2008)77%
/
 
"The sort of movie that inspires you to ponder all the better uses to which the chemical ingredients of 35mm film stock might be put." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Dec 20, 2007
 
The Bucket List (2007)42%
/
 
"Rather than challenging our national aversion to unhappy endings, both in life and in cinema, [director] Strouse plays right into it. He's devised Grace Is Gone to work on our sentiments the way a porn movie works on our libidos." -- Village Voice
Posted Dec 6, 2007
 
Grace is Gone (2007)57%
/
 
"Kelly seems to think that to merely mention Fallujah or global warming -- or to name a bank after Karl Rove -- is the same as actually having an opinion about them." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Nov 15, 2007
 
Southland Tales (2007)34%
/
 
"Like the movie’s mysterious Jigsaw doppelgänger, Saw IV is itself a poor substitute for the original (or even the first two sequels)." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Nov 1, 2007
 
Saw IV (2007)19%
/
 
"Reservation Road is one of those movies where the characters suffer early and often." -- Village Voice
Posted Oct 18, 2007
 
Reservation Road (2007)37%
/
 
"[Director] Spottiswoode's lackluster film fails to offer any fresh perspective on these now well-known events." -- Variety
Posted Sep 25, 2007
 
Shake Hands With The Devil (2007)50%
/
 
"It’s possible, I suppose, that Dunne and Wittenborn were so intent on excoriating the well-to-do that they conceived of this entire movie as an act of self-flagellation. In which case, they should rest assured that no one stands to make a dime from it." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Sep 13, 2007
 
Fierce People (2007)24%
/
 
"As director, Lapica labors to affect a kind of stark, airless 'realism,' yet long before Andrew’s eleventh-hour encounter with a saintly, homily-spouting homeless man, Self-Medicated reveals itself as a uniquely narcissistic fantasy." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 30, 2007
 
Self-Medicated (2007)35%
/
 
"In each segment, Reynolds (who gives the movie his all but gets little in return) finds himself haunted in some way by the titular numeral -- a feeling likely to be shared by anyone who spends about that many dollars on a ticket." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 30, 2007
 
The Nines (2007)68%
/
 
"We get a half-cocked martyr movie about a plucky prole sticking it to the corrupt bourgeoisie: Joan of (Central) Park." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 23, 2007
 
The Nanny Diaries (2007)34%
/
 
"Is there a Razzie Award for worst casting? If so, it’s one of several that can be reserved early for this fourth." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 16, 2007
 
The Invasion (2007)19%
/
 
"There are perhaps 10 to 15 minutes of good, gag-worthy material here stretched out to interminable lengths." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Aug 2, 2007
 
Hot Rod (2007)39%
/
 
"An odd hybrid that lacks both the rambunctious energy of a live performance and the expressionistic pull of a great movie musical." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jul 17, 2007
 
Hairspray (2007)91%
/
 
"Baldwin, like so many thesp-helmers, lacks an instinctive sense of how to place and move the camera." -- Variety
Posted Jul 12, 2007
 
Shortcut to Happiness (2007)n/a
/
 
"Mixing the comic and the thrilling in roughly inverse proportion to what one would have hoped, Markus and McFeely’s script supposedly kicked around Hollywood for years before attracting Sir Ben’s interest, and its age shows." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jun 21, 2007
 
You Kill Me (2007)79%
/
 
"As before, it’s tough to know how much of the movie’s hambone acting, Saturday-morning-cartoon dialogue and pubescent sexual innuendo are accidental and how much by design." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jun 14, 2007
 
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)35%
/
 
"This time, the con is on the audience." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Jun 7, 2007
 
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%
/
 
"From its relentless visual distortion to its wearying parade of Felliniesque fantasy sequences, Schnabel’s film wants you to know that it’s art with a capital 'A.' It’s also disability porn with a capital 'D.'" -- Village Voice
Posted May 31, 2007
 
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)94%
/
 
"A film marked by lovely moments but which falls short of the lyrical heights to which it aspires." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 31, 2007
 
Mogari no Mori (2007)60%
/
 
"The movie has the air of a project that kicked around Hollywood for years earning periodic praise from bleary-eyed script readers duped by its labored quirkiness and from former matinee idols eager to reinvent themselves as brooding method actors." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 31, 2007
 
Mr. Brooks (2007)56%
/
 
"As a longtime writer on The Sopranos, Terence Winter has steered clear of most of the hoary organized-crime clichés. Instead, he's poured them all into director Michael Corrente's anemic urban drama." -- Village Voice
Posted May 15, 2007
 
Brooklyn Rules (2007)49%
/
 
"Unlike [Dr. Strangelove], to say nothing of a whole spate of recent movies (including The Host and Land of the Dead) that have employed genre as a means of social criticism, Severance isn't a sustained work of imagination." -- Village Voice
Posted May 15, 2007
 
Severance (2007)65%
/
 
"Watching Spider-Man 3, you more than once get the impression that, for the principal artists and technicians who’ve been with the series from the get-go, the thrill has somehow gone out of it for them this time around." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 3, 2007
 
Spider-Man 3 (2007)61%
/
 
"Well before day breaks, it’s the movie’s plot (which would have made for an outstanding Outer Limits episode) that has come to seem stuck in an endless loop." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted May 2, 2007
 
Wind Chill (2007)46%
/
 
"As a thriller, it’s so by-the-numbers that it’s hardly worth keeping count." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 12, 2007
 
Perfect Stranger (2007)10%
/
 
"Some will see this as a movie about how we’re all God’s children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen’s runaway ego." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 12, 2007
 
Adam's Apples (2007)71%
/
 
"Fans of the first film can rest assured that a change in the director’s chair -- Dr. Dolittle 2 auteur Steve Carr taking over for the presumably indisposed Brian Levant -- has done little to curb the overall tone of slapstick desperation." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 5, 2007
 
Are We Done Yet? (2007)8%
/
 
"Post-Katrina Louisiana and war-torn Africa are little more than special effects generated by life instead of CGI wizards, and the only real curse is on anyone unlucky enough to buy a ticket." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Apr 5, 2007
 
The Reaping (2007)8%
/
 
"[An] overly antic coffeehouse comedy." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 15, 2007
 
Caffeine (2007)0%
/
 
"[A] torpid, independently made urban melodrama." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 15, 2007
 
My Brother (2007)30%
/
 
"[A] hackneyed supernatural thriller that plays like a cross between a Lifetime network spinoff of Final Destination and the infamous Bobby-in-the-shower episode of Dallas." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 15, 2007
 
Premonition (2007)8%
/
 
"It’s The Pursuit of Happyness made from the ivory tower looking down, instead of from the street looking up." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 7, 2007
 
The Ultimate Gift (2007)32%
/
 
"One day, when he outgrows his terminal adolescence, [director] Brewer might be the perfect filmmaker to tackle Faulkner or Tennessee Williams." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Black Snake Moan (2007)66%
/
 
"Having seen the movie, allow me to throw one additional calculation into the equation: The Number 23 is a zero." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
The Number 23 (2007)8%
/
 
"Not as dreadful as the studio’s decision to withhold press screenings until less than 24 hours before opening day would suggest, but not especially good either." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 21, 2007
 
Ghost Rider (2007)28%
/
 
"[Director Saman] Moghadam keeps Café Setareh bouncing along for a while, but as he shifts the story's perspective from one woman to the next, he covers so much of the same narrative ground that we feel like we've seen it all before." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 15, 2007
 
Cafe Setareh (2007)n/a
/
 
"This Hannibal is a stick-in-the-mud altogether lacking in the wit, gourmet appetites and romantic flair required of any surrogate for Sir Anthony Hopkins." -- L.A. Weekly
Posted Feb 9, 2007
 
Hannibal Rising (2007)15%
