	"Not a film entirely devoid of virtue, though it comes closer to that mark than any movie I've seen this year--closer than any movie I'd care to see in any year." -- Chicago Sun-Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
	"*Three years after 2046, Wong Kar-wai is not in love any more %u2014 and I for one am happy for him." -- Boston Phoenix* Posted Apr 18, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	49%
	"Even in his most commercial effort, Hou [Hsiao-hsien] has set himself an impressively daunting artistic challenge." -- Chicago Sun-Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	78%
	"Nothing short of a revelation." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Jan 22, 2008	Blast of Silence (1961)	88%
3.5/4	"*Richard Kelly�s wildly ambitious and widely loathed Southland Tales* now seems among the most believable works of film futurism ever made in this country.*" -- Boston Phoenix* Posted Nov 19, 2007	Southland Tales (2007)	35%
2/4	"One could say [director Peter Berg] shoots first and asks questions later, if at all." -- Chicago Sun-Times Posted Oct 1, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
	"It's not just in the hot tub that Scorsese wishes to separate himself from this guy." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 13, 2007	American Boy (1978)	n/a
	"Director Jens Lien mostly favors the clean and bland, succumbing to much of the same pod-person impassivity that the movie purports to critique." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 21, 2007	The Bothersome Man (2007)	70%
	"Devil ponders the optimism/pessimism = apathy/x equation as honestly and studiously as any doc I've ever seen." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 24, 2007	The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)	98%
	"Masterfully edited and cumulatively walloping." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 24, 2007	No End in Sight (2007)	94%
	"The real intrigue has to do with whether McClane -- 'a Timex watch in a digital age,' per the lead baddie (Timothy Olyphant) -- can log in to 2007." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 27, 2007	Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	80%
	"Funny to think that the font movie would have the potential to restore one's faith in art and its myriad meanings, but it does." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Jun 20, 2007	Helvetica (2007)	88%
	"*You don't have to be an '80s kid to see The King of Kong* as a metaphor for life itself.*" -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul* Posted Jun 20, 2007	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
	"You think they're dead, these zombie-film parodies, but, one after another, they keep lumbering back." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 13, 2007	Fido (2007)	67%
	"No Country for Old Men represents the Coen brothers' strongest filmmaking in the nine years since The Big Lebowski." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Jun 2, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
	"That there's enough 'plot' in this bona fide melodrama to fill a dozen docs is conducive to the movie's near-total evasion of outside perspective." -- Village Voice Posted May 29, 2007	Crazy Love (2007)	78%
	"Could [director Satoshi] Kon's fanciful cure for the blockbuster blues have come along at a better time?" -- Village Voice Posted May 23, 2007	Paprika (2007)	82%
	"Bug is genuinely freaky-deaky, not to mention more inventively unsettling than anything [director] Friedkin has mustered in the quarter-century since twisting little Linda Blair into a satanic spewer of pea soup and F-bombs." -- Village Voice Posted May 22, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
	"Further propelled by a suitably frantic Soviet orchestral score, the insane rush of scratched, jumpy images compels you to keep your eyes as wide as possible for the entire six minutes -- even though you couldn't dream of absorbing it all." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted May 8, 2007	The Heart of the World (2000)	100%
	"*Too bad [this] mock-doc equivalent of The Producers* isn�t funnier.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Apr 26, 2007	American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006)	62%
	"Shannon's richly minimal performance�a series of reactions, most ranging from deadpan to perturbed -- derives pathos from the familiarly elemental: happy, sad, bitter." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 10, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	69%
	"*This latest entry in the doggy-acrobat subgenre of canine comedies has but one joke, and it comes early: In the Idol* age, celebrity culture has gone to the dogs -- literally.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Apr 5, 2007	Firehouse Dog (2007)	38%
	"Neither is it funny -- or poignant or insightful or remotely worth one's time except as a reminder that Canadian indies can be every bit as feeble as American ones." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 3, 2007	Whole New Thing (2007)	67%
	"For a filmmaker who's so attracted to psychological discomfort, Bier has a disarming affinity with the pleasure principle. In this she's further blessed to have cast the riveting Mikkelsen, who here displays the self-conscious jitter of the young Pacino." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 27, 2007	After The Wedding (2007)	87%
	"Nary a dull lick in the entire 80 minutes." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	Air Guitar Nation (2007)	83%
	"Mimzy, whose charmingly retro FX date to around 1985, won't post Peter Jackson figures at the box office, but you can't say that Shaye doesn't have the magic touch." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 20, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	54%
	"[It] really, really should've been funnier." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 13, 2007	American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006)	62%
	"Exterminating Angels is one audaciously, endearingly ludicrous movie." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 6, 2007	Exterminating Angels (2007)	47%
	"For God's sake, don't be boring. Alas, after his camera has had its fill of ogling Rae, Brewer turns out to have nothing up his sleeve, nothing in his pants, only a little on his mind and none of it, amazingly, to do with race." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 27, 2007	Black Snake Moan (2007)	66%
	"Visually ravishing and emotionally cold, Zhang's third feature is one long series of pushes and pulls." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 27, 2007	Raise the Red Lantern (1991)	96%
	"Pretentiously impressionistic, sloppy almost to the point of self-parody, [director Julien] Temple's film is New Journalism without the journalism -- or, alas, the drugs." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 22, 2007	Glastonbury (2007)	78%
	"It�s an astonishingly crass and vulgar film, crudely directed on a cut-rate budget by Brian Robbins, never more than almost funny or less than disturbing." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 8, 2007	Norbit (2007)	9%
	"Our eager-beaver heroine suffers the kids' sarcasm, fails to earn their respect by bringing in a Tupac tape, then wins them over in a crucial scene that, fact-based or not, rings as false as anything in Dangerous Minds." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 9, 2007	Freedom Writers (2007)	69%
	"*It's only a slight exaggeration to say that God Grew Tired of Us, winner of two documentary prizes at last year's Sundance, is another Hollywood gloss on human tragedy." -- Village Voice* Posted Jan 9, 2007	God Grew Tired of Us (2007)	91%
	"Director Nick Cassavetes has a blast with scenes of testosterone-fueled aggression (until it's time to repent), working the subwoofer in a way that'll surely boost DVD sales among boys with bedroom posters of Tony Montana." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 30, 2006	Alpha Dog (2007)	55%
	"Even by the low standards of the young-jocks-as-good-clean-soldiers movie, there's little at stake here, unless you count the kids' hunger to win one for the Gipper." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 19, 2006	We Are Marshall (2006)	48%
	"The film's seemingly endless revelations of double- and triple-crosses would play like bad mid-'60s Hollywood epic wanking were it not for Zhang's mise-en-sc�ne." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 19, 2006	Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)	65%
	"Rocky Balboa, effortlessly reflexive and patently, even proudly, absurd, is a tough movie to dislike -- and believe me, I've tried." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 19, 2006	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
	"A disarmingly droll and insightful indie." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 5, 2006	Off the Black (2006)	68%
	"*As a movie, 3 Needles* amounts to unclean entertainment at best.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 28, 2006	3 Needles (2006)	35%
	"The fun is somewhat capped by absurdly stilted acting and daytime-soap-quality DV." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 21, 2006	Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (2006)	43%
	"Never mind the neo-psychedelic-pop soundtrack and occasional double-vision cinematography: Dope just can't account for the film's fried brain cells." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 20, 2006	Candy (2006)	50%
	"Indie-film exec Jeff Lipsky's sophomore feature as writer-director shares with his distribution work a desire to restore some of the untidier virtues of '70s American film." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 14, 2006	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
	"God or Jack Valenti only knows how this work of pure entertainment got an R rating 'for strong grisly violence and gore, sequences of terror and torture, nudity and language.'" -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	Saw III (2006)	27%
	"Twelve-year-olds might get a charge out of this purportedly daring documentary celebration of the F-word, although it never occurs to filmmaker Steve Anderson that it might be fun or even genuinely lewd to interview kids on the subject." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	Fuck (2006)	56%
	"Judd's typically lived-in performance and the authentic Arkansas locations -- cramped bars, dusty roads -- help vaguely distinguish a movie that comes on like a minor-key reprise of Judd's breakthrough Ruby in Paradise." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 7, 2006	Come Early Morning (2006)	84%
	"*Red, in every conceivable shade, is, not surprisingly, a key color in Volver, a movie about the towering virtues of high heels and the indomitable power of good old 35mm celluloid." -- Village Voice* Posted Oct 31, 2006	Volver (2006)	91%
	"No one here gets out alive, as Jim Morrison put it before the End, though in Switzerland one at least has the chance of booking a smoother passage from insufferable pain to whatever comes next." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 24, 2006	Exit: The Right to Die (2006)	89%
	"Tone is everything in a dark-comic farce, and Murphy pulls it off. Like the book, this deadpan celebration of neurosis makes a valiant effort to repress its comedy -- which of course makes it funnier." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 18, 2006	Running with Scissors (2006)	29%
