4/4	"Analyzing the successes of such a blistering, genre-defining masterwork (I'm already slipping) is tantamount to judging the contours of Michelangelo's David or evaluating the shading and form of Da Vinci's The Last Supper." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
4/4	"Distorts your view of reality, ripping up the screen with a distinctive style that bends time, scale and motion at its whim. " Posted Jun 25, 2008	Wanted (2008)	72%
4/4	"Unlike Eddie Murphy and Jim Carrey, who make being funny look like a dreary chore, Vince Vaughn seems like a dude who actually enjoys his job." Posted Feb 7, 2008	Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)	57%
4/4	"With breathtaking sentiment, the film masterfully shows how Bauby was able to write the perfect final chapter of his life." Posted Jan 17, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%

4/4	"Cody's writing is entrancing. Characters speak in a stylized, heightened reality reminiscent of Kevin Smith's mid-1990s stunners Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy." Posted Dec 26, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
4/4	"Rolls out a procession of one-liners, toe-tappingly hilarious songs, stunning sight gags and dead-on parodies, all with tear-inducing humor, providing an easy ride to comic bliss." Posted Dec 20, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
4/4	"And boy howdy, does that dialogue howl like a basset hound pup who's just been yanked from his momma." Posted Nov 22, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	95%

4/4	"Mitchell is a ringer for Ben Stiller's pompous villain in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story." Posted Oct 18, 2007	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
4/4	"With Clooney in the driver's seat, the film tumbles forward in a snapping elastic band of tension and shuddering revelations. The movie starts off grippingly and only grows more intense and thrilling." Posted Oct 11, 2007	Michael Clayton (2007)	91%
4/4	"The bohemian Irish musical is so phenomenal you'll need to see it a second time, if only to confirm to yourself that the movie is really as good as you remembered." Posted Aug 30, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
4/4	"What they came up with is one of the most authentic and hilarious high school films in memory." Posted Aug 15, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
4/4	"Moore seems to trust his audience this time out, allowing the interview subjects to tell their stories without repeating his cheesy move from the past of stepping into the frame himself, shaking his head in awe." Posted Jun 28, 2007	Sicko (2007)	93%
4/4	""Away From Her" is at once one of the most romantic love stories and most frightening horror films I've ever seen." Posted May 16, 2007	Away From Her (2007)	95%
4/4	"Their pastiches take the best of their nostalgic 1960s and '70s trash heap and reshape it into kitschy action comedies that stand as adoring monuments to the films that shaped their demented worldviews." Posted Apr 5, 2007	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
4/4	"300 is rated R for 'RAAAAAR!' and is about as inspirational as Field of Dreams multiplied by Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, plus infinity." Posted Mar 7, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
4/4	"The masterful film, which was also released on DVD this week, sends shivers up your spine and devastates you five times over, then has you longing to wipe the sweat off your brow and start watching all over again." Posted Dec 14, 2007	The Dead Girl (2006)	74%
4/4	"In her own way, Whittaker is as strong as O'Toole, and the chemistry they develop forges a heartbreaking bond." Posted Feb 1, 2007	Venus (2006)	89%
4/4	""Pan's Labyrinth" is one of those films that's so moving, heartbreaking and wonderfully haunting, you sigh when the end credits roll." Posted Jan 18, 2007	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
4/4	""Letters From Iwo Jima" is just like every other war film and nothing like any other war film." Posted Jan 18, 2007	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	91%
4/4	""Rocky Balboa" is so awesome that everyone else who makes movies may as well just give up now. It's not going to get any better than this." Posted Dec 21, 2006	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
4/4	"An emotionally manipulative but astoundingly powerful rags-to-riches tale that recalls Frank Capra at his most heart-rending." Posted Dec 14, 2006	The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)	66%
4/4	"*You'd have to be either half-crazy or the most talented director alive to make the book into a film. Luckily, the movie version of Fast Food Nation* has a man who's both: Richard Linklater.*" Posted Nov 16, 2006*	Fast Food Nation (2006)	51%
4/4	""Borat" movie no-stop laughy. Is funny as your Donald Mouse cartoons, and goodest comedy of year." Posted Nov 2, 2006	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	91%
4/4	"The Departed is Scorsese grabbing New Hollywood by its ear to teach it a lesson the old-fashioned way." Posted Oct 5, 2006	The Departed (2006)	92%
4/4	"Gondry's film certainly looks at life in a different way, and it refreshingly allows you to do the same, so long as you keep your eyes open." Posted Sep 28, 2006	The Science of Sleep (2006)	69%
4/4	"A gleefully slanted burn on the MPAA that's as deliciously entertaining as "Super Size Me" or "Bowling for Columbine."" Posted Sep 28, 2006	This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)	84%
4/4	"A slickly paced collision-course drama." Posted Aug 31, 2006	The Illusionist (2006)	75%
4/4	"Morel lathers up a thunderous tornado of exhilarating destruction. There's hardly a moment to pause for breath, blink or wipe the sweat off your brow." Posted Jun 15, 2006	District B13 (2006)	80%
4/4	"May not be without faults, including some unlikely action montages and occasional overacting, but boredom is not one of them. This thing is about as dull as street luge." Posted May 19, 2006	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%

4/4	"Tucker toes the line between indie raggedness and studio-produced sheen. His script and tone carry the jagged edges of a personal story, with characters that seem to possess a free will beyond studio formula." Posted Jan 26, 2006	Transamerica (2005)	76%
4/4	"Allen, in a rare zone of existential ferocity he last touched in 'Crimes and Misdemeanors,' brushstrokes his characters and conflicts with textured definition." Posted Jan 19, 2006	Match Point (2005)	77%
4/4	"Owns you so thoroughly that you feel as though you're a part of what you see." Posted Dec 22, 2005	Munich (2005)	77%
4/4	"It may have been beauty that killed the beast, but it was genius that brought him back to life. " Posted Dec 14, 2005	King Kong (2005)	84%
4/4	"Manages to entertain on various levels, excelling as an intense visceral thrill ride, as well as a small-scale drama with emotional punch, all peppered with smart humor." Posted Nov 10, 2005	Zathura (2005)	76%
4/4	"aA channeled, rigorous tribute." Posted Oct 27, 2005	Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)	94%
4/4	"*Before I saw this film, only one movie, Field of Dreams,* had ever made me cry. Now there are two.*" Posted Oct 20, 2005*	The Thing About My Folks (2005)	43%
4/4	"Ryan Reynolds is one of the funniest men alive." Posted Oct 6, 2005	Waiting... (2005)	31%
4/4	"Cronenberg channels his askew sensibilities into a rapacious drama that jackhammers at its constraints, showing you things you aren't ready to see with shiver-inducing clarity" Posted Sep 29, 2005	A History of Violence (2005)	87%
4/4	"Bergman is still at the top of his game, every bit as much in control of his faculties for deciphering human misery." Posted Aug 25, 2005	Saraband (2005)	93%
4/4	"All he's left with is a look of blank existential exhaustion. From this stoic clay, Murray's every twitch and flicker sculpts complex inner wounds." Posted Aug 17, 2005	Broken Flowers (2005)	86%
4/4	"Not only one of the most gripping and flat-out entertaining documentaries you're ever likely to see, it's also one of the best sports movies in existence." Posted Jul 31, 2005	Murderball (2005)	98%
4/4	"Shot and scored with a raw, throwback feel, the film slips out of predictability by massaging a lingering feeling of dread and hopelessness into DJay's tale of rising hope." Posted Jul 21, 2005	Hustle & Flow (2005)	82%
4/4	"With Vaughn, sexism, piggishness and chauvinistic jackassery are high art. To watch him in action is to observe Olivier reciting Shakespeare." Posted Jul 13, 2005	Wedding Crashers (2005)	75%
4/4	"Michael Wranovics wove a thrilling story out of the matchup with deft research, glowing humanity and inert humor." Posted Jun 30, 2005	Up for Grabs (2005)	93%
4/4	"I have always been a Superman guy - after all, flying trumps rappelling, and heat vision can do more damage than a Batarang any day - but then came this new Batman movie." Posted Jun 14, 2005	Batman Begins (2005)	84%
4/4	"Proves that there's always room on the shelf for another riveting, elegant boxing film." Posted Jun 1, 2005	Cinderella Man (2005)	80%
4/4	"Beautifully choreographed, loud, furious and rib-shaking donnybrooks that are weaved of the long-gestating daydreams of fans." Posted May 18, 2005	Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)	79%
