	" 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)	71%
	" 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)	17%

	" You won't want to get to know these obnoxious characters." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 28, 2008	The Year of Getting to Know Us (2008)	n/a
	" A wacky Hollywood satire that never catches fire." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 25, 2008	The Deal (2008)	n/a

	" *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 movie may well make money, but no matter how many zillions it grosses, Tom Cruise will forever after be something of a joke." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Interview with the Vampire (1994)	59%
	" Without a luminous presence like Juliette Binoche or Irene Jacob to hold the murky narrative together, it never soars." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	White (1993)	90%
	" Despite strong performances by the cast of talented Asian actresses, the movie never sweeps us up in its spell." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	The Joy Luck Club (1993)	90%
	" Part fairy tale, part travelogue, and part kindergarten lesson in Eastern religion. Not a single part is persuasive or compelling." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Little Buddha (1994)	68%
	" One doesn't have to buy the Warren Commission's version of the nightmare in Dallas to find Stone's hysterical conspiracy theory monumentally unconvincing." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	JFK (1991)	83%
	" Without a strong central narrative ... the film loses momentum and ends as one more tired treatise on family dysfunction." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Anywhere But Here (1999)	64%
	" [Streep's] role is ridiculous, and the scenes depicting her marital crisis play like a hokey prelude to the inevitable reconciliation." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	The River Wild (1994)	58%
3/5	" There are some hysterically funny bits, but the excessive violence sometimes kills the laughter." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Very Bad Things (1998)	40%
	" The shooting seems like a lame attempt to inflate a small, well-observed story with a significance it hasn't earned." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Zebrahead (1992)	73%
	" *The movie often plays more like a wisecracking sitcom -- Saved by the Bell* with four-letter words -- than a wise romantic roundelay.*" -- Movieline* Posted Jan 9, 2002	Threesome (1994)	26%
	" *Thirty-two writers came up with this?" -- Movieline* Posted Jan 9, 2002	The Flintstones (1994)	18%

	" Mo' Better Blues, in thrall to the cliches of the star-is-born musicals of the past, is a stillborn academic exercise." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Mo' Better Blues (1990)	71%
	" Lee's mosaic has some masterful background details but a gaping hole at the center." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Jungle Fever (1991)	83%

	" *Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle* is a throwback to the sexless romantic comedies of the 1930s.*" -- Movieline* Posted Jan 9, 2002	Sleepless in Seattle (1993)	78%
	" Humorless and swathed in symbolism, it taunts us with cerebral puzzles that we may not care to solve." -- Movieline Posted Jan 9, 2002	Female Perversions (1996)	67%
