B	"The sheer force of the story, fueled by the commitment and passion of Winterbottom and his cast, counts for a lot. And in a season of superheroes, sequels and special effects, a smart movie for smart people is always welcome." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Jun 21, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
B	"*There's nothing startling about Gracie* per se, but it manages to do formula without becoming too formulaic, be a feel-good flick without being feel-good gooey.*" -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted May 31, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%
B+	"One of the best wrap-ups of a trilogy in recent memory." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 24, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
C	"Geez, it's not very good. Talky, overpopulated, even the ha-ha so-called adult jokes have grown stale and predictable." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 17, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
B+	"As a gently fitting requiem for an unspeakable loss, it's perfect." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 10, 2007	Waitress (2007)	89%
B-	"A facile but likable send-up of how things (don't) work in Hollywood." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 10, 2007	The TV Set (2007)	65%
A-	"*Charles Burnett's timeless and poetic Killer of Sheep* is one of those 'found' films that never should have been lost in the first place.*" -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted May 10, 2007	Killer of Sheep (1977)	97%
B+	"[A] modest yet infinitely moving film of love, loss and memory." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 10, 2007	Away From Her (2007)	95%
B+	"*Yes, they throw more than rice at this Wedding, but it's all in service of an astutely observed and sometimes shattering human drama." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted May 10, 2007	After The Wedding (2007)	87%
C-	"It's the sort of you'll-laugh-you'll-cry drivel that's so beneath its talented cast you have to wonder how everyone ended up here -- sort of like Custer and his Last Stand." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 10, 2007	Georgia Rule (2007)	18%
C+	"No one will feel cheated -- the movie isn't a careless cop-out -- but somehow Spidey has gotten tangled up in his overlong, overdone and underthought web." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted May 3, 2007	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	61%
B+	"Insanely entertaining -- and often just plain insane -- World War II melodrama. You may hate yourself in the morning, but you'll have to admit Verhoeven gives you a lot of bang for your buck." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 27, 2007	Black Book (2007)	76%
B+	"We're asked to laugh at her. Then we're asked to be ashamed of our laughter. It's a delicate balance, and White and his actors pull it off magnificently." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 27, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	69%
C	"*The film has some of the bleak inevitability of Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, but without the compelling characters and oddball twists." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Apr 26, 2007	First Snow (2007)	56%
B-	"Has lots of pop energy and an admirable poker-face when it comes to its Douglas Sirk-ian storyline. And even though it's essentially a Frankenstein's monster stitched together from a zillion other movies, you really haven't seen anything like it." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 26, 2007	Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)	76%
A-	"The film ripens in an unanticipated way, nimbly shifting from near farce to something quite a bit darker." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 26, 2007	Mafioso (1962)	96%
B	"*Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's follow-up effort to their smash success Shaun of the Dead* skillfully eludes the dread sophomore slump.*" -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Apr 19, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
B	"Fracture may be Hollywood slick, but it's got a niftily intricate plot and some explosive mano a mano acting that keep you riveted." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 19, 2007	Fracture (2007)	71%
C	"The movie is shot well -- especially for a first-timer. But after a while the semi-realized, semi-familiar story line weighs it down, as do the loads and loads of talk." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 19, 2007	In the Land of Women (2007)	43%
B	"The Wind That Shakes the Barley isn't interested in being a straightforward or romanticized history lesson. Rather, [director] Loach offers an examination of the very nature of rebellion, as filtered through the particulars of the Irish troubles." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Apr 12, 2007	The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2007)	89%
B	"*A dog star is born in the wonderful new family movie, Firehouse Dog." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Apr 3, 2007	Firehouse Dog (2007)	38%
B+	"*Intelligent and insightful, The Namesake* celebrates family in a unique way.*" -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Mar 29, 2007	The Namesake (2007)	85%
B	"*If you're not going to Paris this spring -- and let's face it, so few of us are -- the next best thing might be Avenue Montaigne." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Mar 29, 2007	Avenue Montaigne (2007)	74%
B+	"The sort of thing all movie lovers should be on the lookout for -- an early-spring sleeper, deftly played and smartly written." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 29, 2007	The Lookout (2007)	87%
B+	"It sounds formulaic, but it's formula done right." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 29, 2007	Blades of Glory (2007)	69%
B	"*Karen Moncrieff's previous film, the shallow and pretentious Blue Car, in no way prepares you for this superbly acted, emotionally acute picture." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Mar 22, 2007	The Dead Girl (2006)	74%
B-	"*On its own lightweight terms, The Last Mimzy* is a small gem. And it has the best family breakfast joke this side of Little Miss Sunshine.*" -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Mar 22, 2007	The Last Mimzy (2007)	53%
C	"Somewhere around the corner from the school where Antonio Banderas is teaching tough kids to mambo and the school where Hilary Swank is teaching tough kids to love literature, Terrence Howard is teaching tough kids to swim." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 22, 2007	Pride (2007)	46%
B	"Sandler is remarkable, expertly using the vacancy that defines his dumb-and-dumber comedies as a way to convey Charlie's netherworld." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 22, 2007	Reign Over Me (2007)	64%
B-	"The ending isn't exactly happily-ever-after, but it leaves you with a deep-down respect and affection for this determined little tyke who perseveres against all odds." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 15, 2007	The Italian (2007)	91%
C+	"We love you, Chris Rock. And we dearly want to love your movies." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 15, 2007	I Think I Love My Wife (2007)	19%
C+	"Premonition is probably two-thirds of a good movie, and sometimes that's enough. But I have a, well, premonition it may not be, especially when it comes to those all-important opening-weekend grosses." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 15, 2007	Premonition (2007)	8%
C-	"There are a half dozen people in colorful supporting roles all of whom have their own truths. And all of whom are far more interesting, as characters and actors, than [Connie Nielsen]." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 8, 2007	The Situation (2007)	37%
B	"The film is both gritty and lyrical, showing how tanks share the Baghdad streets with donkeys as well as the quiet beauty of the Kurdish countryside." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 8, 2007	Iraq in Fragments (2006)	91%
B	"Days of Glory may lack a certain complexity, but then courage under fire from all sides -- be it the enemy's weapons or your own country's disgusting bigotry -- is a pretty straightforward proposition. The plain facts are more than enough." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 8, 2007	Days of Glory (2006)	82%
B	"The Host is first and foremost an ecstatic monster movie, as terrifying as it is funny." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 8, 2007	The Host (2007)	92%
A-	"Poised between Kafka and Tom Cruise, The Lives of Others is the sort of movie that constantly engages you. You never know what's going to happen next, and it's all done with a precision and intelligence that's rare in movies these days." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Lives of Others (2006)	93%
F	"*Travolta has occasionally gotten down in slop like this before. Allen and Lawrence practically live there. But Macy, the guy from Fargo* and Magnolia and Seabiscuit? Say it ain't so, Bill.*" -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Mar 1, 2007	Wild Hogs (2007)	15%
C+	"The picture may look pulpishly provocative, but while Brewer constantly confounded our expectations in Hustle & Flow, this time he barely ruffles our feathers once he establishes his outrageous dime-novel tone." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Mar 1, 2007	Black Snake Moan (2007)	66%
B	"Flannel Pajamas is a sharply observed dissection of a couple's relationship, from blind date to marriage to difficulties over everything from whether to get a dog to when to have a baby." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 22, 2007	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
C-	"The film feels fraudulent -- not deceitful, but hard to swallow. We're told Farmer is $600,000 in debt, yet a $300,000 windfall solves everything." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 22, 2007	The Astronaut Farmer (2007)	58%
C-	"*No one wants to watch a by-the-numbers hack job -- even if the movie is called The Number 23." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution* Posted Feb 22, 2007	The Number 23 (2007)	8%
B+	"The picture is being re-released in 30 cities around the country before finally appearing on DVD after years of online foment from fans.The DVD is due in May, but try to catch it in theaters first. It's worth it." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 15, 2007	Becket (1964)	73%
C	"Breach becomes a one-man show, and even though, thanks to [Chris] Cooper, it's quite a show, spy thrillers depend on the kind of give-and-take conspicuously missing here." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 15, 2007	Breach (2007)	84%
B-	"It is what it is, and it is that honorably." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 13, 2007	Music and Lyrics (2007)	63%
	"At the heart of Mel Gibson's tumultuously entertaining epic is the almost-quaint notion that movie heroics should mean something more than a play for the much-coveted 18-25 box office demographic." -- Film Scouts Posted Feb 10, 2007	Braveheart (1995)	76%
C	"Breaking and Entering just hangs there, positing its theme of how the personal becomes political and the political becomes personal over and over, without ever grabbing either your heart or your mind." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 8, 2007	Breaking and Entering (2007)	34%
C-	"This is juicy stuff, but the filmmakers have absolutely no idea what to do with it." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 8, 2007	Factory Girl (2007)	19%
C+	"Keaton may well be the only actress in Hollywood who could play this character without making her despicable or treacly." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Posted Feb 1, 2007	Because I Said So (2007)	5%
