	"*Bottle Shock isn't a ripe grape so much as pure American corn." -- indieWIRE* Posted Jun 28, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	60%
	"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)	26%
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%
	"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%
	"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	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
	"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)	68%
	"*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%
	"*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%
	"[It] really, really should've been funnier." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 13, 2007	American Cannibal - The Documentary (2006)	62%
	"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%
	"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%
	"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%
	"*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%
	"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)	57%
	"The doc these kids would make with flea market camcorders couldn't possibly be as ugly as this absurdly hypocritical critique of the far right's role in escalating the culture war." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 19, 2006	Jesus Camp (2006)	87%
	"The movie rarely if ever crosses the border between familiarity and surprise." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 5, 2006	Rolling Family (2004)	59%
	"That the film is semi- autobiographical for caustic actor-turned-writer-director Richard E. Grant helps explain its severely, sometimes laughably bitter tone." -- Village Voice Posted May 9, 2006	Wah-Wah (2006)	52%
	""M:i:III" is too oppressive, too enamored of its brutality to deliver anything like real thrills." -- Village Voice Posted May 3, 2006	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	70%
	"This contrived lament for the lonesome cowboy means to measure what remains of the old western in the absence of the Old West, eventually plopping its displaced ranch hand protagonist onto the fake Main Street of an old western movie set." -- Village Voice Posted May 2, 2006	Down in the Valley (2006)	52%
	"This flat-footed male weepie musters an insurance ad's worth of clich�s about the importance of busting a move in middle age -- and it strains so hard to do so that it's almost perversely compelling." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 28, 2006	Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006)	24%
	"Disney's tried-and-true slapstick material (est. 1959) is here given a heinously unimaginative interpretation by five screenwriters and a director who manages to squander the gifts of an absurdly overqualified supporting cast." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 10, 2006	The Shaggy Dog (2006)	28%
	"Here's to the Big One" -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Dec 14, 2005	King Kong (2005)	84%

	"Self-Help for Superheroes" -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Jun 15, 2005	Batman Begins (2005)	84%
	"The Macedonian Candidate" -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Nov 24, 2004	Alexander (2004)	16%
	"When Night Falls" -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Aug 4, 2004	The Village (2004)	43%
	"Fat City" -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted May 12, 2004	Super Size Me (2004)	93%
	"Gibson dwells on the gory details of laceration -- one whipping after another and another and another -- until it's the viewer who's tortured, hurt, defensive, and, finally, numb (if not driven to retaliate)." -- City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Mar 16, 2004	The Passion of the Christ (2004)	50%
	"Call it an exercise in threat management, free with the purchase of a photo album -- or a movie ticket." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 22, 2002	One Hour Photo (2002)	81%
