3/4	"Humorously, but with knuckles bared, captures every twitch of angst, chaos and near-calamity that unfolds as the concert draws near and Weisberg's dream devolves into a nightmare." Posted Jun 8, 2007	Rock the Bells (2007)	83%
3/4	"Punch lines and outrage come easy, but beware: If you walk into this film with a secure moral judgment, prepare to have it shaken by the time you leave." Posted May 25, 2007	Zoo (2007)	56%
2/4	"Every bromide, plot twist and stock character arrives right on time and, to give director James Burke his due, function as well as they ever have." Posted Sep 29, 2006	Aurora Borealis (2006)	68%
3/4	"It stares into the face of faith run amok, and for those willing to follow its gaze, it provides sad revelations." Posted Sep 29, 2006	Jesus Camp (2006)	87%
2/4	"Leave it alone, or leave your brain and pocket change at the gate, strap yourself in and just enjoy the ride." Posted Sep 23, 2006	Crank (2006)	61%
2/4	"*For all its shortcomings, Zen Noir* still entertains.*" Posted Sep 15, 2006*	Zen Noir (2006)	29%
3/4	"American Blackout makes a credible case, with some of its most damning evidence coming from the mouths of the conservatives themselves." Posted Sep 15, 2006	American Blackout (2006)	73%
2/4	"Idlewild comes alive only during the production numbers, which look and feel more like music videos than music as storytelling." Posted Aug 25, 2006	Idlewild (2006)	48%
1/4	"*Repressed desire! A sultry soap-opera star! Incest! Gay politics! La Mujer de Mi Hermano* has it all. Now if it only had a decent plot.*" Posted Apr 14, 2006*	La Mujer de mi Hermano (2006)	21%
2/4	"The only thing kinky about this movie is its title. But maybe there's an upside to this: Parents, if you want to teach the kids about sexual difference without having to deal with sex, here's your chance. Have I mentioned it's heartwarming? That too." Posted Apr 14, 2006	Kinky Boots (2006)	57%
2.5/4	"Not as clever as it thinks, a little too clever for its own good, it's a fun ride, nonetheless." Posted Apr 7, 2006	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	51%
3/4	"Johnson isn't the first director to subvert suburbia, but he's probably the first to have done such a fine job of it on his first outing." Posted Apr 7, 2006	Brick (2006)	78%
3/4	"Slither is a labor of love made by a horror aficionado who knows just when to tweak the tropes." Posted Mar 31, 2006	Slither (2006)	84%
1/4	"It's unlikely that Stay Alive could ever have been a good movie in the traditional sense, but it might have been better if Bell and co-writer Matthew Peterman had done more to exploit their gaming premise." Posted Mar 28, 2006	Stay Alive (2006)	7%
3.5/4	"*The beauty of Duck Season* is its insistence that profound human experiences can arrive slowly, in incremental packages, scattered over the course of an average Sunday.*" Posted Mar 17, 2006*	Duck Season (2006)	90%
2/4	"*Though the characters and plot are all paint-by-numbers, Summer Storm* is still a fairly charming look at what it's like for a typical teen jock to admit he's not so typical, after all.*" Posted Mar 17, 2006*	Summer Storm (2006)	50%
1/4	"The point seems to be that too much of a good thing leads to a vast sense of nothingness and bleak cinematography. Alas, it also results in transforming a film about a sensualist into a remarkably sexless enterprise." Posted Mar 10, 2006	The Libertine (2005)	32%
3/4	"A somber polemic that presents a convincing case against using war as an economic booster -- although, Jarecki argues, that is precisely what the United States has been doing under every president since Truman." Posted Feb 10, 2006	Why We Fight (2006)	79%
1/4	"Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy spends hours in a bathroom snorting a mother lode of cocaine while annoying everyone within earshot with his tales of woe. Sounds like a great idea for a movie. Let's do it!" Posted Feb 10, 2006	London (2006)	14%
1/4	"Ice Harvest, sir, is no Groundhog Day." Posted Nov 23, 2005	The Ice Harvest (2005)	46%
2/4	"Watts is alternately annoying, sympathetic and hilarious in the title role. She's always entertaining." Posted Nov 18, 2005	Ellie Parker (2005)	52%
2.5/4	"What we're left with is a movie filled with cultural gags that mock without achieving the level of good satire. Sometimes, alas, being funny just isn't enough." Posted Nov 4, 2005	Never Been Thawed (2006)	58%
2/4	"So leaden and obvious it's too somnambulant to be funny." Posted Oct 21, 2005	The Californians (2005)	n/a
2/4	"A pretty package that's empty on the inside." Posted Oct 21, 2005	Stay (2005)	26%
1/4	"A luscious yet ultimately empty film." Posted Oct 7, 2005	Three Dancing Slaves (2005)	43%
4/4	"Whether you view it as a metaphor for a country or a singular study of the human condition, Tony Takitani explores the borders between solitude and loneliness, hunger and consumption, memory and loss." Posted Sep 2, 2005	Tony Takitani (2005)	90%
1/4	"This disappointing new film from director Michael Winterbottom suffers from a similar malaise: It's poetic and pretty, strives for profundity without attaining it, and finally ends up saying nothing." Posted Aug 12, 2005	9 Songs (2005)	25%
3/4	"Horn does more than simply pay homage to a late artist. He uses his subject to revisit the euphoria of artistic and musical culture at a crossroads, and in the process brings it, briefly and poignantly, back to life again." Posted Feb 18, 2005	The Nomi Song (2005)	94%
2/4	"By turns inventive, confounding and obtuse, it doesn't always work, but it challenges, nonetheless." Posted Oct 15, 2004	Primer (2004)	72%
3/4	"It's a somber poem of a film sure to frustrate those who prefer resolution to ambiguity. Controversial hype aside, that indeterminacy is its primary draw." Posted Sep 3, 2004	The Brown Bunny (2004)	45%
3/4	"Transcends the rockumentary genre and becomes something uniquely its own." Posted Jul 9, 2004	Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004)	87%
3/4	"In exploring their deaths, Broomfield sheds light on his subjects' lives and art, reminding us why their loss still reverberates and their albums still sell in the millions." Posted Sep 20, 2002	Biggie and Tupac (2002)	80%
	"A documentary that plays like a visual poem." Posted May 21, 2002	A Skin Too Few: The Days of Nick Drake (2004)	100%
3/4	"Pray has managed to create a historical document accessible enough for novices and credible enough for aficionados." Posted Mar 13, 2002	Scratch (2002)	93%
1/4	"*There's little to recommend Snow Dogs, unless one considers cliched dialogue and perverse escapism a source of high hilarity." Posted Jan 18, 2002*	Snow Dogs (2002)	23%
3/4	Click here to read article Posted Jan 1, 2000	Better Living Through Circuitry (1999)	80%
