	" Overall, it�s still a fine debut, balancing its more ungainly dramatic turns with an absolutely perfect and poetic (dare I say Dardenne-esque?) final shot." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 7, 2008	Retrieval (2006)	100%
3/5	" Viva the film is as sly and knowing as Viva the character is endearingly oblivious." -- eye WEEKLY Posted May 8, 2008	Viva (2008)	68%
2/5	" Paranoia, spinal injuries, psychic distress, impromptu amputations, self-mutilation -- it�s all in there, convincingly rendered (the first-rate sound design exacerbates every fracture) and finally pointless." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 4, 2008	The Ruins (2008)	46%
3/5	" more than the sum of its facile narrative parts." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 13, 2008	Funny Games (2008)	51%

1/5	" This year's first Event Movie is almost guaranteed to wind up as its dumbest." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Mar 13, 2008	10,000 B.C. (2008)	9%
	" It's finally nothing if not good-spirited." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 28, 2008	Noah's Ark (2007)	n/a
	" It's self-conscious in a way that distances us from the purportedly roiling emotions of the characters." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 21, 2008	Men in the Nude (2006)	n/a
	" Unfortunately, the movie itself is only intermittently gripping." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 15, 2008	Iska's Journey (2007)	n/a
	" Precise camera setups, smarter-than-usual dialogue and fine, spontaneous-seeming ensemble work." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 7, 2008	Just Sex and Nothing Else (2005)	n/a
	" It would be a shame if this smarmy, kiddie-pool-shallow bit of gimmickry were to be confused with clear-eyed satire." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 7, 2008	Military Intelligence and You! (2008)	35%
2/5	" Alba is so believable as a woman thrown out of her comfort zone... that it�s actually a disappointment when the plot kicks in." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Eye (2008)	21%
1/5	" *Until the mainstream produces some films undeserving of idiot violation, the idiot violation represented by Meet the Spartans* -- a Xerox of absolute zero -- will be par for the course.*" -- eye WEEKLY* Posted Jan 25, 2008	Meet the Spartans (2008)	2%
3/5	" The twist-happy screenplay holds together, and the actors around Christensen are better than they have to be: not only reliable hands like Lena Olin and Arliss Howard, but also a perfectly cast Jessica Alba, smartly playing with and against her looks." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 10, 2008	Awake (2007)	24%
1/5	" Indifference is the name of the game across the board, really." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 28, 2007	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	14%
3/5	" What we have here is about two-thirds great and one-third awful, and in that order." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Dec 13, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
5/5	" In Klimov's unshakable vision, death is casual, safety is impossible and beauty is backwards: this is peerlessly gorgeous filmmaking about absolute ugliness." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 15, 2007	Come and See (1985)	93%
1/5	" *What differentiates Skinwalkers* from other bad werewolf movies is just how colossally bad it is: it makes Blood and Chocolate look like Ashes and Diamonds.*" -- eye WEEKLY* Posted Aug 10, 2007	Skinwalkers (2007)	14%
2/5	" It's an impressive odyssey, but the film -- which alternates between Phillips' ceaseless ramblings and interviews with the predictably eccentric folks he meets on the road -- plays like a prolonged death march." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Jul 20, 2007	Walking to Werner (2007)	38%
3/5	" Present-tense drama comes when one of the boys decides he wants to be a girl, a development the filmmakers mine -- responsibly but resourcefully -- for strains of significance." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 19, 2007	Red Without Blue (2007)	n/a
3/5	" Richard Wong's DV-shot musical channels an earnest, let's-put-on-a-show-ethos into a melancholy celebration of the titular San Francisco suburb." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Jun 19, 2007	Colma: The Musical (2007)	90%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- eye WEEKLY Posted May 26, 2007	Dying at Grace (2003)	n/a
	" *An amateurish mashup of The Butterfly Effect* and The Family Man (talk about unholy hybrids!) that strains patience from the get-go.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted May 10, 2007	The Parallel (2007)	n/a
3/5	" Her efforts, presented without even the faintest whiff of self-congratulation, yield revelation and real success, and keep The Cats of Mirikitani moving along a compelling and unpredictable trajectory." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Apr 23, 2007	The Cats of Mirikitani (2006)	96%
2.5/5	" Director Nobuhiro Yamashita seems to be aiming for a laconic deadpan tone, yet the static camera work and even-keel pacing elicit more yawns than chuckles." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Jan 12, 2007	Linda Linda Linda (2006)	78%
	" How disappointing that a film that hints at the fluid, nonbinary natures of love and attraction should labor so hard to knot its own loose ends." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 9, 2006	Coffee Date (2006)	47%
	" West seems to mistake smugness for genre savvy, and his aggressive, arm-punching brand of pandering quickly grows tiresome, and then unbearable." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 28, 2006	Evil Aliens (2005)	60%
2/5	" Breaking and Entering is an intelligent movie with a great supporting cast -- virtues that prove to be its undoing." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	Breaking and Entering (2007)	34%
4/5	" A rare thing: a successfully asymmetrical drama." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	Summer '04 (2006)	79%
3/5	" Marc Evans� direction is alternately clear-eyed and blearily sentimental, but the film is a fine showcase for Weaver." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	Snow Cake (2007)	66%
4/5	" [A] blood-boiling documentary." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	Deliver Us From Evil (2006)	100%

4/5	" The film is incisive about the all-too-mundane social, physical and emotional pressures exacted upon its heroine." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	Requiem (2006)	88%
4/5	" Though its vistas may look alien, this urgent, quietly damning film never lets us forget that we, by dint of our comfy environs, are their creators." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	Manufactured Landscapes (2007)	84%
2/5	" This melodrama about a miserable Good Samaritan (Mads Mikkelsen) staring down a difficult (and heroically contrived) ethical dilemma gets soapier -- and dopier -- as it goes along." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	After The Wedding (2007)	87%
2/5	" The film is undone by sloppy plotting, over-deliberate writing and a few terrible ebbs in tone." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 23, 2006	The Half Life of Timofey Berezin (2006)	40%
	" While it doesn't deviate from the snippy, newsmagazine format of its predecessors, Iraq for Sale stays mostly on point and on target, as Greenwald trains his sights on the ruinous consequences of corporate involvement in the Iraq war." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 7, 2006	Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers (2006)	100%
	" All impenetrably dark nighttime shots, politely telegraphed shocks and limp, transparent misogyny masquerading as genre-savvy hijinks." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 3, 2006	Nightmare Man (2007)	63%
	" The film is a must-see for Perry�s one-on-one chats with her subject." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 4, 2006	The Fall of Fujimori (2006)	92%
	" Guys and Balls is an inventory of such cliches, but at least they�re trotted out with a modicum of proficiency." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 27, 2006	Guys and Balls (2006)	45%
	" The Almost Guys reveals itself as a mawkish men-on-the-road comedy, a stultifying cross-country odyssey of bonding, bickering and group peeing." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 20, 2006	The Almost Guys (2004)	60%
	" There's something about Cupo that keeps us interested despite the thinness of the material." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 6, 2006	One Last Ride (2003)	n/a
	" *Sprung urgent and barn-side broad, in the tradition of all great, immodest proposals, C.S.A.* is A-OK.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Feb 23, 2006	CSA: The Confederate States of America (2006)	78%

3/5	" This film marks a return to more accessible fare for Chinese director Zhang Yang." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 24, 2005	Sunflower (2005)	64%
2.5/5	" *The twin novelties of Sir Anthony Hopkins racing a motorcycle and speaking in a Kiwi dialect make The World's Fastest Indian* worth seeing -- just barely.*" -- eye WEEKLY* Posted Sep 24, 2005	The World's Fastest Indian (2005)	81%
1.5/4	" Young lead Andrew Paterson is so likeable that the film occasionally threatens to be affecting, but a series of strenuously melodramatic developments late in the game kept us detached and unimpressed." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Sep 9, 2005	50 Ways of Saying Fabulous (2006)	30%
2/5	" This bold experiment fails to hang together as a watchable film, straining audience sympathies in too many directions before finally collapsing under its own strident weight." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Nov 30, 2004	Sexual Dependency (2004)	33%
3.5/5	" That I bought into this transparent exercise in tear-jerking ... has as much to do with my own curious tolerance for subtitled excess as it does its own virtues of performance, scripting and direction." -- eye WEEKLY Posted Oct 30, 2004	Magnifico (2003)	63%
