Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
B+	"Gracefully directed, deliberately paced and intentionally free of the action you'd expect from a samurai film, all of which makes its climactic confrontation that much more effective." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Love and Honor (2008)	80%
B	"*More a collection of character vignettes than a full-blown story, Garden Party* nonetheless shows as much promise for its makers as it gives to its characters.*" Posted Jul 11, 2008*	The Garden of Allah (1936)	44%
B-	"A film that confronts the absurdity and violence of modern warfare by taking it to the surreal and goofy next level." Posted Jun 27, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	31%
B-	"The film winds up with some meaningful things to say about balancing the desire to clear the familial air and the need to let some things be, but never gets deep enough into its character's psyches to dig up anything more revelatory than that." Posted Jun 27, 2008	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	74%
B	"Reprise is about negotiating the path from reckless youth to ambitious adulthood as much as it's about the craft of fiction." Posted Jun 20, 2008	Reprise (2008)	89%
C-	"The Children of Huang Shi is an old-fashioned story of courage and self-sacrifice in the face of war and deprivation. It's also sappy, boring and obvious." Posted Jun 20, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
	"Despite the desperation the whole concept exudes, it isn't as bad as you'd think." Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Incredible Hulk (2008)	67%
B+	"We've all met this guy or someone close, and that makes him all the more deserving of that derision and a bit of empathy, too." Posted Jun 6, 2008	The Foot Fist Way (2008)	58%
C	"At first blush, it seems like another entry in the saucy-but-safe Brit genre, a la Calendar Girls, Saving Grace or The Full Monty, but it turns out to be both more ambitious and less successful than those diversions." Posted May 30, 2008	Irina Palm (2008)	72%
B+	"A tale that could have been handled with condescending simplicity becomes a testament to the flawed but noble humanity of both parents and children." Posted May 30, 2008	XXY (2008)	72%
B	"The thoughtfulness and humanity of these inmates is a potent reminder that there's almost no such thing as a lost cause." Posted May 16, 2008	The Dhamma Brothers (2008)	82%
B-	"Ultimately, it's hard not to feel like Hou is saying more explicitly and expansively in nearly two hours what Lamorisse managed to convey in only one-fourth as much film." Posted May 16, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
B-	"*Even though it's nearly 2 1/2 hours, unfolds in flashback and derives from Balzac, then, The Duchess of Langeais* is among Rivette's more succinct and approachable works.*" Posted May 9, 2008*	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	67%
C+	"*The plot, as hinted, goes strictly by the How April Got Her Groove Back* book, but it must be said that the performances push it a notch above pedestrian.*" Posted May 9, 2008*	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
D	"[A] confused, morally queasy, self-important mess." Posted May 2, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	26%
B	"Though it's well-cast and convincingly captures the look and feel of its era, the film loses steam as Accio's story meanders to a predictable conclusion." Posted May 2, 2008	My Brother is an Only Child (2006)	85%
B+	"Sometimes a trifling comedy can seem infinitely better when it comes packaged in a foreign language, especially French. Pierre Salvadori's Priceless, though, seems like the sort of thing that would be amusing in any tongue." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Priceless (2008)	83%
A	"The members of the Young at Heart Chorus might not offer the serpentine strutting or Bacchanalian back story of the Rolling Stones, but their vivacity, dedication and courage would give any rock idol pause." Posted Apr 25, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
C	"If [director] Schaefer's intent was to provide some sort of insight into Chapman's character, some hint of explanation for this senseless tragedy, he fails, probably because there's none to be found beyond one lonely guy's addled brain chemistry." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Chapter 27 (2008)	20%
C+	"The ensemble can't bring enough, though, to overcome the unoriginal setup and predictable story arc." Posted Apr 11, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
c+	"Could have been an exciting and inventive film, if only it weren't so bland and familiar." Posted Apr 4, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
C+	"Ultimately, the movie takes its characters, and the absurd ethical dilemma it subjects them to, far too seriously." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Married Life (2008)	57%
A-	"Sam Rockwell and Kate Beckinsale are each as good as they've ever been as the central, troubled couple, and the rest of the cast also impresses." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
A-	"A film like this remains important, both as an indictment of the present day and as a warning to future generations that the ends don't always justify the means." Posted Mar 28, 2008	Taxi to the Dark Side (2008)	100%
B-	"*In the wake of Juno* comes another movie with a plucky teen protagonist who's got a mind of her own and refuses to live in shame because of her peculiar physical condition.*" Posted Feb 29, 2008*	Penelope (2008)	53%
C+	"Charlie Bartlett desperately wants to be the next link in a chain of smart, subversive, fun teen-rebellion movies from Ferris Bueller's Day Off to Juno. But it never develops its own identity enough to stake that claim." Posted Feb 22, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	54%
B+	"*Romero's zombie films are notable for their embedded social commentary. Diary* is no exception.*" Posted Feb 15, 2008*	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	61%
b	"If the film's release brings more attention to this potential cult classic, then it's done its job." Posted Feb 8, 2008	Trailer Park Boys - The Movie (2008)	53%
B-	"An uplifting, visually pleasing documentary." Posted Jan 25, 2008	War Dance (2007)	86%
	"All this star power goes for naught in Traeger's film, which tries to blend bucolic sweetness with juvenile let's-make-a-porno jokes." Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Amateurs (2007)	14%
A-	"As if more proof were needed that the best way to make a scary movie is through atmosphere, pacing and storytelling, rather than sudden violence, needless gore and random shocks, here comes The Orphanage." Posted Jan 11, 2008	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
B-	"*Solid, CliffsNotes* version of a modern classic.*" Posted Nov 16, 2007*	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	27%
C-	"Talky, didactic and essentially free of any real narrative..." Posted Nov 9, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
C+	"Viewers with a pre-established interest in 11th-century Tibetan history should find Milarepa fascinating, but those without won't find much to engage them in this nicely shot but stilted biopic of a legendary magician-turned-monk from that era." Posted Nov 2, 2007	Milarepa (2007)	36%
B+	"When it lets its characters express their universal youthful ennui through hook-laden tunes with clever lyrics, it works. The 'let's-put-on-a-show' attitude is a welcome relief from the navel gazing typical of coming-of-age." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Colma: The Musical (2007)	90%
B+	"Angels in the Dust shows that compassion is a form of bravery." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Angels in the Dust (2007)	82%
C+	"The sets and costumes are elaborate Oscar bait, though the excess of candles sometimes makes things resemble an old Police video." Posted Oct 12, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
B-	"Theroux shoots and edits creatively, and elicits good performances, so here's hoping he gets another crack behind the camera with a more cohesive and consistent script." Posted Oct 5, 2007	Dedication (2007)	41%
B	"This is comfort food, plain and simple, and achieves its modest goals in nearly effortless fashion." Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
B-	"The Kingdom wants to be both a hot-button, ripped-from-the-headlines statement movie and a crowd-pleasing, rip-roaring action thriller. It ends up meeting each goal about halfway." Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
	"...the subject matter of fugitive war criminals in the former Yugoslavia doesn't mix well." Posted Sep 21, 2007	The Hunting Party (2007)	51%
A-	"This was a story that made front pages in its day but has been largely lost to history, and now is brought bracingly and compellingly back to life." Posted Sep 21, 2007	Deep Water (2007)	96%
A-	"Is it a religious allegory? Political statement? Horror film? Perhaps all three, perhaps none." Posted Sep 21, 2007	The Bothersome Man (2007)	70%
C-	"The passionate Mexican interlude, the Shakespearean pleas to yonder windows, and the naive, earnest pillow talk all melt into one self-indulgent, faux-hipstery soup." Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Hottest State (2006)	35%
B+	"Burtynsky avoids any political content to his work, but it's hard not to feel anxious and sad at the spectacle of the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the world's most populous nation." Posted Sep 7, 2007	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	84%
A-	"It serves as Milepost 1 on Van Sant's highway to success." Posted Sep 7, 2007	Mala Noche (1985)	94%
C	"While there's the requisite "you can make a difference" section toward the end, you'll still likely walk out with a sense of impending doom, which may be fully appropriate but probably not what the filmmakers intended." Posted Aug 31, 2007	The 11th Hour (2007)	66%
B+	"This sounds like the sort of thing that could bore to tears anyone not enamored of the musical theater, but in fact it's a compelling, often amusing look backstage." Posted Aug 31, 2007	ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway (2007)	88%
B	"It turns out that a deep appreciation of the human condition can be accomplished through comedy as much as through drama. At least that's what Moliere learns" Posted Aug 24, 2007	Moliere (2007)	70%
