	" Like Scorsese's Casino, in which Rickles had a small role, Mr. Warmth tips its hat to a demolished way of life--Vegas power having transferred from the Mob to the even scarier thugs of corporations." -- minnpost.com Posted Jun 28, 2008	Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project (2007)	80%
	"Some of the pic's points register as obvious and infuriating at once; hardest-hitting are the passages that point to oil execs' use of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina to post record profits." -- Variety Posted Jun 18, 2008	GasHole (2008)	n/a
	"*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)	47%
	"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)	34%
	"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
	"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%
	"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%
	"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)	95%
	"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%
	"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%
	"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)	53%
	"Exterminating Angels is one audaciously, endearingly ludicrous movie." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 6, 2007	Exterminating Angels (2007)	47%
	"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%
	"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%
	"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)	67%
	"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%
	"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%
	"Directing with a light comic touch and a palpable affection for the characters, Selim draws pitch-perfect acting from a large cast (John Heard, Ned Beatty, Alan Cumming, Alex Kingston, and Lois Smith) and achieves breathtaking levels of color and clarity." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 17, 2006	Sweet Land (2006)	83%
	"No mere Western-guilt-inducing harangue, this highly informative documentary by British brothers Marc and Nick Francis is a model of patient storytelling." -- Village Voice Posted Oct 3, 2006	Black Gold (2006)	85%
	"Blessed enough to have drawn Gautier and Downey away from better-paying gigs, the kid hasn't likely failed to recognize his saints." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 26, 2006	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	75%
	"Rachman's montage is a frenzied, propulsive pull from here and there -- including not just an astonishing array of milky VHS concert footage (Black Flag in 1981!), but both Ronald Reagan inaugurations, the second of which seems to foretell the end." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 19, 2006	American Hardcore (2006)	73%
	"The film is most compelling for its suggestion of how politics and showbiz are at once incestuously entwined and, perhaps, irreconcilably different." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 13, 2006	Al Franken: God Spoke (2006)	59%
	"... playfully wicked ..." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 12, 2006	13 Tzameti (2006)	84%
	"Andrucha Waddington�s admirably pretentious epic of woman in nature makes the rare attempt to impart a purely visual experience." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 10, 2006	House of Sand (2005)	79%
	"Stone's message--shrewder than other liberal campaigns of the last five years--is undeniably political." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Aug 9, 2006	World Trade Center (2006)	70%
	"Half Nelson drags the crowd-pleasing white-teacher-inspires-black-students movie onto the mat and pins the flabby genre in the first round." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 8, 2006	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
	"Not since John Sayles and Joe Dante unleashed Piranha and The Howling on Hollywood's New Morning have two features torn open the horror movie with the cut-rate ferocity and gleeful disreputability of [Neil] Marshall's Dog Soldiers and The Descent." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 2, 2006	The Descent (2006)	85%
	"As directed in aptly unfussy fashion by music- video vet Matt Mahurin, the movie itself is a curiously tasty dish, one that could leave even a vegan with a burning desire to sample Shopsin's lamb chops." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 25, 2006	I Like Killing Flies (2006)	95%
	"As a brutal metaphor for the global economy, 13 Tzameti takes care of business; its assertion that desperate means require desperate measures naturally extends to the hair-trigger world of genre filmmaking." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 25, 2006	13 Tzameti (2006)	84%
	"Escapism in Melville's cinema inevitably gives way to existentialism; pure entertainment becomes unattainable." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Jul 7, 2006	Army of Shadows (1969)	97%
	"What a breath of fresh air this stifling, claustrophobic, boldly uningratiating vision of an American subculture's last gasp imparts to its contrarian core audience." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Jul 7, 2006	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	67%
	"Among the great docs about moviemaking." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 13, 2006	The Outsider (2006)	69%
	"This genial doc sprinkles Reagan and Nixon soundbites over its vintage stash of C&C clips for a suitably fuzzy squint at America from '69 to the buzzkill present." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 13, 2006	A/K/A Tommy Chong ()	70%
	"Keillor's modest subservience to Altman's group dynamic feels downright gallant, and in the context of the veteran director's most humanistic movie by a wide margin, it certainly has its rewards." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 6, 2006	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	80%
	"... the film makes for compelling psychobiography despite the fact that Gore, stiff as an air-conditioned breeze at the Four Seasons, isn't the least bit compelling himself." -- Village Voice Posted May 24, 2006	An Inconvenient Truth (2006)	93%
	"[An] enjoyably breezy portrait." -- Village Voice Posted May 9, 2006	Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006)	81%
