	"A once-great director's near-worst work passes through its funhouse plumbing and emerges from the crapper as intentional mischief: self-sabotage explained away as mad genius." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 4, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	50%
	"It�s as relentless as it is hateful, hammily directed and derivative of the dreariest slop in contemporary American horror cinema." -- Village Voice Posted May 8, 2008	Frontier(s) (2008)	65%
	"*A lip-smacking episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Depraved, designed more for train-wreck gawkery than psychological illumination." -- Village Voice* Posted Apr 23, 2008	Savage Grace (2008)	42%
	"Director/co-writer H.S. Miller just lays on the chilly blues and a wet-blanket mood of arty anguish, leaving cinematographer Fred Murphy and production designer Jackson De Govia to trump up trompe l'oeils of carefully posed carrion." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 16, 2008	Anamorph (2008)	26%
	"Bruce Van Dusen's 2005 comedy plots a meandering course due north without locating a word of truth." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 25, 2008	Backseat (2008)	8%
	"Staggeringly inane." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 18, 2008	Irina Palm (2008)	72%
	"I still believe with all my heart that no movie with real car stunts, a tough-chick hero, and a severed head that thunks directly into the camera can be all bad. But this is pushing it." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 18, 2008	Doomsday (2008)	48%
	"Despite the unhurried pace, the stories unfold without compelling details, and the interweaving is more pedestrian than artful." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 5, 2008	Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul (2008)	60%
	"Ever had a premonition of imminent catastrophe, only to watch helplessly as the worst unfolds? You have if you saw the previews for this snoozer of a paranormal shocker and bought a ticket anyway." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 4, 2008	The Eye (2008)	21%
	"As vehement in its stereotyping as World War II propaganda." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 31, 2008	Rambo (2008)	35%
	"Walk Hard limps soft." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 21, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
	"This burlesque of biopic cliches flounders from one setup to the next without the engine that drives the genre: a strong central character." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 18, 2007	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	75%
	"A medical thriller with a noggin full of novocaine, this shocker about a botched heart surgery evidently suffered brain surgery to match." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 6, 2007	Awake (2007)	24%
	"Much of this is tedious -- no more or less exciting than surveillance-cam footage of a regional sales manager." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 23, 2007	Lynch (One) (2007)	53%
	"*Do-nothing Sarah may be the dullest, most featureless and inactive protagonist in recent movies -- great news for those Scooby-Doo* die-hards who never got enough Freddy.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Oct 20, 2007	Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour (2007)	0%
	"Pure straight-to-video rope-a-dope." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 27, 2007	War (2007)	14%
	"Even the promising team of Peter Dinklage�s mad scientist Simon Barsinister and Patrick Warburton�s henchman Cad turns out to be a bust." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 3, 2007	Underdog (2007)	14%
	"The least concrete and most artificial of Buscemi's films. But that's as much because of the situation as Buscemi and David Schechter's slippery script." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 10, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
	"Maybe Judd Apatow's comedies also flatter the maturity-impaired by making their 10th-grade hang-ups lovable, but Apatow doesn't leave you thinking less of the women who abide them." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 13, 2007	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	54%
	"*There's little beyond the surface-deep pleasures of this talky distaff riff on Wings of Desire." -- Village Voice* Posted May 22, 2007	Angel-A (2007)	43%
	"If the sight gag is dead, this excruciatingly precious Belgian comedy is less a resurrection than an autopsy." -- Village Voice Posted May 1, 2007	L'Iceberg (2007)	71%
	"This ostensible comedy may be a new depths-of-hell low in the Emmanuel Lewis filmography, but for star Jamie Kennedy it�s par for the coarse." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 30, 2007	Kickin' It Old Skool (2007)	3%
	"The makers of this self-indulgent autopalooza take a Ferrari engine, Porsche speed, Mercedes horsepower, and a Shelby Mustang chassis and somehow combine them into a Yugo." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 16, 2007	Redline (2007)	0%
	"For anyone other than hardcore gore-hounds, this flipbook of deliberately invoked global-unrest horrors, from friendly-fire killings to rape as a breeding weapon, is effectively mean and unrelenting -- and pretty far from fun." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 28, 2007	The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)	12%
	"Is it written somewhere that every indie quasi-noir must include a dripping faucet, ceiling fans, shadows of slatted blinds, and a traveling shot of highway lines?" -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	First Snow (2007)	56%
	"Dolls are innately unnerving, but the movie's semi-menacing Charlie McCarthys never live up to their potential." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	Dead Silence (2007)	18%
	"*The relatively tame horrors on display here may disappoint fans of the director's gut-spelunking short Aftermath, which made him an underground hero on the abra-cadaver circuit." -- Village Voice* Posted Feb 27, 2007	The Abandoned (2007)	34%
	"The last thing a filmmaker named Nacho needs is more cheese." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 23, 2007	The Abandoned (2007)	34%
	"Come back, Madea, and bring your chainsaw." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 20, 2007	Daddy's Little Girls (2007)	25%
	"Oh boy -- a shocker set against the terrifying backdrop of North Dakota sunflower farming!" -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 2, 2007	The Messengers (2007)	11%
	"An amateur-hour game of Spot That Reference, intended for people who crack up simply at the mention of anything topical." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 30, 2007	Epic Movie (2007)	2%
	"Switching the hero from a lone driver to a couple spoils the original�s most intriguing idea: that the mass-murdering jackal may be the driver�s own escaped id. That leaves little to fill 83 expendable minutes, which barely register as a movie." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 22, 2007	The Hitcher (2007)	19%
	"Black Christmas lacks the timing and visual wit to make its splattery EC Comics gags either genuinely scary or funny." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 3, 2007	Black Christmas (2006)	17%
	"The chief problem with The Dead Girl, as with most current multipart films, is that the truncated stories don't give actors much room to develop a part. They're on-screen for such a short time that they act furiously from the get-go." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 28, 2006	The Dead Girl (2006)	74%
	"Estevez means to eulogize the hopes of a nation, showing the night's impact on a group of hotel guests and staff cross-sectioned by age, race, and class. But his movie ends up buried under its stifling good intentions and dire execution." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 14, 2006	Bobby (2006)	45%
	"[Bale's performance is] the kind of vein-popping show-boating that might as well be performed in a mirror." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	Harsh Times (2006)	48%
	"[The] performances succeed where Harold fails: gaining a life independent of their author." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	Stranger Than Fiction (2006)	73%
	"Time perhaps scrambling it's for Alejandro Gonz�lez I��rritu to stop his narratives." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 24, 2006	Babel (2006)	68%
	"Perhaps you are wondering why a little-known band called Rocco DeLuca and the Burden merits a glossy feature-length documentary of its whirlwind European tour. After watching Manu Boyer's film, you may still wonder." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 5, 2006	I Trust You to Kill Me (2006)	33%
	"Like the flailing airline industry -- which probably sent executives out for ice packs when they heard the title -- it gives you the ride you paid for, and nothing extra." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 18, 2006	Snakes on a Plane (2006)	70%
	"The filmmakers care; the actors try; the closing dedication is heartfelt and sweet. The movie, sadly, is an IV drip of artery-clogging Lifetime movie-of-the-week goo." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 8, 2006	Waltzing Anna (2006)	n/a
	"... director Ron Oliver applies a thin veneer of straight-to-cable pseudo-gloss without finding a workable tone, and the cast lacks the charisma and chemistry to make the genre and gender-bending register as more than novelty." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 2, 2006	Shock to the System (2006)	50%
	"... the umpteenth prison drama to focus on the lurid threat of forced submission." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 2, 2006	Jailbait (2006)	17%
	"*Like the shambling VW van its hapless characters steer from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach, Little Miss Sunshine* is a rickety vehicle that travels mostly downhill.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jul 25, 2006	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	91%
	"[The skilled voice actors] only underscore how misconceived the movie is on every other level." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 15, 2006	Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)	11%
	"The movie's ultimately less interested in subversion than in sophomoric gimmickry." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 13, 2006	Uncut (2006)	20%
	"The movie's take on Southern-versus-Northern values could hardly be more stacked or slanted..." -- Village Voice Posted May 3, 2006	Crazy Like A Fox (2005)	11%
	"A wasted opportunity -- especially since the events as reported scarcely need embellishing." -- Village Voice Posted May 2, 2006	An American Haunting (2006)	12%
	"The animation is exquisitely detailed, down to the lions' individually moving whiskers -- but when's the last time you enjoyed a cartoon for its realism?" -- Village Voice Posted Apr 18, 2006	The Wild (2006)	19%
