Instrument (1987-1997)n/a
/
A
 
" Despite being nearly three hours long, the movie is among the finest to grace the silver screen in some time and should be able to work over any intelligent audience not bothered by a level of blood, gore and even nudity traditionally reserved for either" -- The Badger Herald
Posted Dec 19, 2005
 
Munich (2005)77%
/
D
 
" Nearly every gut-wrenching turn is somehow derived from an ethnic slur, juvenile sight gag, or the glorification of an illegal substance and its side effects." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Sep 2, 2004
 
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)73%
/
F
 
" ...the sort of vitriolic exercise in paranoia that would ordinarily land its creator in therapy." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Jun 29, 2004
 
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)83%
/
 
" Unrelentingly anti-Semitic, excessively grotesque and overly narrow in its scope" -- The Badger Herald

" ...an uproariously quirky story about romance in the very unromantic field of matrimonial law." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Oct 12, 2003
 
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)75%
/
A-
 
" Jack Black... deftly guides the family film away from the genre's usual mawkishness and into a sort of Bad-Company-meets-Peter-Pan Rock 'n' Roll Never Never Land." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Oct 6, 2003
 
School of Rock (2003)91%
/
D
 
" ...other than a few shining moments, 'Duplex' relies entirely upon juvenile sight gags to generate jokes that really aren't all that amusing." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Oct 4, 2003
 
Duplex (2003)37%
/
B+
 
" Allen creates one of his finer films, with a delicately intricate plot, phenomenal acting and delightfully cynical humor." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Sep 22, 2003
 
Anything Else (2003)41%
/
A
 
" ...has so much sheer style and class that it more closely resembles an old Rat Pack project than a modern-day popcorn dud." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Sep 15, 2003
 
Matchstick Men (2003)82%
/
C
 
" ...the sort of B-actor-driven comedic train wreck that David Spade used to dryly mock while doing his 'Hollywood Minute' on Saturday Night Live" -- The Badger Herald

" More closely resembling a "Girls Gone Wild" video than a work of traditional cinema, "The Real Cancun" delivers a unique brand of glossy sex appeal, thanks to a fairly developed array of variously sordid characters." -- The Badger Herald

" Bulletproof Monk has a snide confidence that its petty jokes of culture shock will actually elicit laughs while altogether failing to realize that the punch lines weren't that funny the first time, let alone this time." -- The Badger Herald

" [Nicholson and Sandler] put forth fine efforts in this entirely performance-driven film, but save for a few memorable scenes, the oil and vinegar simply don't mix." -- The Badger Herald
Posted Apr 14, 2003
 
Anger Management (2003)43%
/
A-
 
" A riveting tale of morality in a city noted for its sinful characters, "Phone Booth" is that rare edge-of-your-seat movie that is as cerebral as it is thrilling." -- The Badger Herald

" It is exceedingly difficult to classify How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days as a romantic comedy given that the film is about as romantic as a punch to the face -- literally." -- The Badger Herald
