3.5/4
 
" The Coen brothers' funniest movie since The Big Lebowski."
Posted Sep 11, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)78%
/
3/4
 
" Even between the great gags, the movie kept me involved because, against all odds, it actually almost works as a straight war film."
Posted Aug 13, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)83%
/
1.5/4
 
" Holds little of the charm and unexpected emotional heft of its predecessor, which mostly avoided the kind of empty girly crap that abounds here. "
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)63%
/
4/4
 
" David Gordon Green's hilarious stoner comedy is to action movies what The Big Lebowski was to film noir. "
Posted Aug 5, 2008
 
Pineapple Express (2008)68%
/
3/4
 
" Ferrell and John C. Reilly further prove that they're a perfectly matched comic pairing."
Posted Jul 26, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)55%

Posted Jul 14, 2008
 
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)88%
/
3/4
 
" Mike Myers is so spirited, good-natured and clearly having a blast being a goofball that it's almost impossible not to be won over."
Posted Jun 18, 2008
 
The Love Guru (2008)14%
/
3/4
 
" Minor Shyamalan, but still well worth seeing."
Posted Jun 12, 2008
 
The Happening (2008)18%
/
4/4
 
" Spielberg proves once again that no one can direct an old-fashioned rollicking ride like he can."
Posted May 21, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)77%
/
2.5/4
 
" This is a kids movie through and through, for better or worse. One thing's for sure: Chim-Chim rocks!"
Posted May 8, 2008
 
Speed Racer (2008)37%
/
3/4
 
" Sharp satire, d--- and fart jokes... and Neil Patrick Harris!"
Posted Apr 23, 2008

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)85%
/
0.5/4
 
" There's honestly not a single laugh in the film, unless the mere mention or sight of shit, piss and puke is hilarious to you. "
Posted Mar 29, 2008
 
Superhero Movie! (2008)13%
/
4/4
 
" Close in spirit to George Washington and All the Real Girls, with quirky characters, a bittersweet tone and an effortless sense of time and place."
Posted Mar 18, 2008
 
Snow Angels (2008)67%
/
3.5/4
 
" Haneke not only manipulates the audience, he goes as far as to openly mock it!"
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Funny Games (2008)51%
/
3.5/4
 
" MelGibsonly violent, with a higher bodycount than the other three flicks - put together!"
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Rambo (2008)37%
/
0.5/4
 
" A major piece of crap. It shamelessly steals from J.R.R. Tolkien/Peter Jackson, but with none of the intelligence, heart and artistry."
Posted Jan 9, 2008
 
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)4%
/
4/4
 
" [Blood] has repeatedly been compared to such American cinema classics as Giant, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and Citizen Kane. That may sound like an oversell but believe me, it is that good and then some."
Posted Dec 17, 2007

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%

" I've rarely seen a filmmaker, in current Hollywood at least, expose his sexual and sadistic kinks on screen with such shameless glee."

Death Proof (2007)61%
/
4/4
 
" Cronenberg's Christmas flick is intensely thought-provoking and affecting."
Posted Sep 6, 2007
 
Eastern Promises (2007)88%
/
3/4
 
" Not only riffing on John Woo's Hong Kong flicks but cranking up the action until it becomes quite literally a madcap cartoon."

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)66%
/
3.5/4

Superbad (2007)87%
/
3/4

Posted Aug 6, 2007
 
Rush Hour 3 (2007)20%

4/4
 
" Matt Damon gets his Bourne on again in this relentlessly smart and thrilling action masterpiece."
Posted Aug 3, 2007
 
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)93%
/
2/4
 
" Mostly flat, flat, flat, but Amanda Bynes is Amanda fine!"
Posted Jul 20, 2007
 
Hairspray (2007)91%
/
3.5/4
 
" Goes from 2001-style contemplative science-fiction to more action-driven sci-fi as perfected by James Cameron to, for better or worse, horror."
Posted Jul 16, 2007
 
Sunshine (2007)76%
/
2.5/4
 
" Ridiculously awesome (or awesomely ridiculous?) sequences of mass destruction, lost in a lot of uneven dramatic or comedic material."
Posted Jun 28, 2007
 
Transformers (2007)57%
/
2/4
 
" Bring. Back. McTiernan."
Posted Jun 21, 2007
 
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)81%
/
1.5/4
 
" Maybe I'm nuts, but beyond the mediocrity on display, I started to see the seeds of what could have been a masterpiece..."
Posted Jun 18, 2007
 
Evan Almighty (2007)23%
/
2.5/4
 
" Not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon at the old picture show, even though it's eminently forgettable."
Posted Jun 10, 2007
 
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)70%
/
3/4
 
" Judd Apatow is making comedies but also wants to tell relationship stories and get more serious at times, for better or worse."
Posted May 31, 2007
 
Knocked Up (2007)91%
/
57/100
 
" You gotta give it to Lars, clever bastard, he makes it almost impossible to hold his perceived failings against him!"
Posted May 21, 2007
 
The Boss of it All (2007)73%
/
1.5/4
 
" If you're able to ignore all the lameness around it, some of this is actually enjoyable in a so-wrong-it's-right, Showgirls-style way."
Posted May 9, 2007
 
Georgia Rule (2007)18%
/
4/4
 
" Sure, it's a bit overstuffed and definitely over the top, but damn it if I didn't love every moment of it."
Posted May 4, 2007
 
Spider-Man 3 (2007)61%
/
3/4
 
" Not quite a Big Slick, but a pleasant, witty enough little flick with an engaging protagonist."
Posted May 2, 2007
 
Lucky You (2007)28%
/
3.5/4
 
" It'll make you cry a lot, for sure, but with much beauty and brightness through the sadness."
Posted Apr 30, 2007
 
Away From Her (2007)95%
/
1.5/4
 
" The action scenes do a better job than the exposition when it comes to turning us off of violence as entertainment, just by being so lousy."
Posted Apr 24, 2007
 
The Condemned (2007)16%
/
4/4
 
" Wright and Pegg know the genre and its codes too well to only be derisive of it. They're having fun with it, sure, but they're never mocking it."
Posted Apr 12, 2007
 
Hot Fuzz (2007)90%
/
3.5/4
 
" Heroic Fantasy of the first order, from filmmakers who obviously studied the paintings of Frank Frazetta and the writings of Robert E. Howard."
Posted Apr 10, 2007
 
Pathfinder (2007)11%
/
3.5/4
 
" It's too bad that Planet Terror isn't as great as Death Proof but hey, we're getting two flicks for the price of one, so we can't complain too much, right?"
Posted Apr 3, 2007
 
Grindhouse (2007)81%
/
2.5/4
 
" Exquisitely crafted, with 3 or 4 kick-ass set pieces and remarkable casting, but rather bloated at 158 minutes and ultimately somewhat hollow."
Posted Mar 3, 2007
 
Zodiac (2007)89%
/
3.5/4
 
" Thoroughly entertaining and visually arresting."
Posted Feb 19, 2007
 
C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005)100%
/
4/4
 
" If blues is an exorcism (as Muddy Waters once said), Black Snake Moan is pretty much The Exorcist."
Posted Feb 16, 2007
 
Black Snake Moan (2007)66%
/
2.5/4
 
" If you're expecting no more than B-movie fun, it does deliver on that level. It's often hilarious, and generally intentionally, too!"
