	"Directed with pounding energy by Ric Roman Waugh and acted to the hilt by a cast comprising several of yesterday�s stars proving their mettle, the movie delivers the thrills and emotion that prison movies require." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 17, 2008	Felon (2008)	59%
	"Ellen Burstyn deserves another Oscar nomination for this compelling drama." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 8, 2008	The Stone Angel (2008)	47%

	"Bart has enough laughs to snare a distributor and decent-sized audiences." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 30, 2008	Bart Got a Room (2008)	71%
	"The fight scenes are fun, but the filler in between is deadlier than one of Li's lethal kicks." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 16, 2008	The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)	63%
	"Performances vary widely in quality. Some of the "experts" who expound on zombie culture are portrayed by such amateurish actors that the film threatens to collapse." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 24, 2008	American Zombie (2007)	69%
	"It's not exactly entertainment, but it casts a poisonous spell." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 14, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	50%
	"*At its core Never Back Down* is just another teen exploitation movie, but middle-age viewers who wander into the theater might get the same giddy rush as the kids.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Mar 14, 2008	Never Back Down (2008)	25%
	"The movie benefits from unpretentiousness; it never takes itself too seriously." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 10, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	71%
	"The romantic banter between Will and his three paramours strains for sparkling wit and only occasionally achieves it." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 12, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
	"It seems especially depressing when so-called independent filmmakers have nothing on their minds except aping the style of Hollywood's hip caper movies." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 5, 2008	How to Rob a Bank (2008)	9%
	"There are many telling details in the film, even if it ultimately raises more questions than it can possibly answer." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 30, 2008	Recycle (2008)	n/a
	"A genuinely odd duck, a quirky regional comedy that doesn't quite resemble anything else you've seen. " -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 30, 2008	Anywhere, USA (2008)	n/a

	"A wacky Hollywood satire that never catches fire." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 25, 2008	The Deal (2008)	n/a

	"A most entertaining ride with audience appeal well beyond the festival circuit." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 22, 2008	The Drummer (2008)	n/a
	"Belies the inexperience of its makers, for it's a substantial, deeply moving film that has the potential to captivate audiences everywhere." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 22, 2008	Captain Abu Raed (2008)	n/a
	"This is a breakthrough performance [for AnnaSophia Robb] that should do wonders for her career." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 22, 2008	Sleepwalking (2008)	19%
	"*Even though Liberty Kid* is a small film, much of it is deeply poignant; it enhances our compassion for all the ghosts of Sept. 11.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Jan 10, 2008	Liberty Kid (2007)	86%
	"Helicopters take us astonishingly close to the skiers as they climb up dizzying peaks, then race down 90-degree cliffs and sometimes jump off precipices with parachutes to bring them back to Earth." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 17, 2007	Steep (2007)	55%
	"*Family films that won't make adults gag are always in short supply, so a pleasing British fantasy, The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, is a welcome addition to the holiday season." -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%

	"Turgid and pointless." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 22, 2007	Sex and Breakfast (2007)	13%
	"An unsparing look at child prostitution is a hard sell for audiences, but this movie is a memorable achievement." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 9, 2007	Holly (2007)	62%
	"Even with its flaws, the film finds many moving moments as it surveys the ravages of a perpetually divided country." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 24, 2007	O Jerusalem (2007)	30%
	"A ho-hum exercise in mysticism and hocus-pocus." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Seeker (2007)	13%
	"Most of the confrontations play out tepidly and predictably." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 1, 2007	Raising Flagg (2007)	23%
	"Laughs are MIA in this month's comic raunchfest." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 20, 2007	Good Luck Chuck (2007)	3%

	"The film jumps around following the misadventures of the characters, and the whole enterprise comes to be frenetic and convoluted rather than pleasingly impudent." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 10, 2007	Weirdsville (2007)	56%
	"The movie doesn't have much visual style or atmosphere, but it does have a kinder, gentler spirit than many gross-out comedies, and that makes it a likable time killer." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 7, 2007	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	16%
	"The film's humanism gives it an overwhelming impact." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 6, 2007	The Bubble (2007)	55%
	"*Like American Graffiti* and Dazed and Confused, the film all takes place during a single day and night. But it doesn't have the smarts or the depths of those ensemble comedies.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Aug 8, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
	"You'll want to avert your eyes from this intense and intensely unpleasant drama about rape and revenge." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 31, 2007	Descent (2007)	24%
	"The film would be more enjoyable if one could turn off the soundtrack and simply revel in the stunning visual evocation of this white-on-white world." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 19, 2007	Arctic Tale (2007)	62%
	"Cusack manages to summon deep wellsprings of personal grief along with breezy humor and naked animal terror. It's a tour de force performance that confirms the talents of this remarkably versatile, sometimes underrated actor." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 19, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
	"Gibney pulls it all together with impressive clarity and command. In the end, this passionate indictment of present U.S. policies stirs both sadness and outrage." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 11, 2007	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
	"A slyly macabre fantasia that works on its own demented terms." -- Movieline Posted Dec 2, 2002	Scotland, PA (2002)	59%
	"A fairly formulaic (and terribly overlong) tearjerker." -- Movieline Posted Dec 2, 2002	I Am Sam (2002)	33%
