Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
B+	"*For all of its insanity of supposition, familial discord and the often-explored theme of the corrupt nature of the rich, Tell No One* is something rare and original.*" -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Jul 11, 2008	Tell No One (2008)	92%
B-	"Kit Kittredge could be primed for a series of sequels, yet as directed by Patricia Rozema, its elemental integrity seems in direct opposition to the blockbuster or sequel-mania that fuels Hollywood." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
B-	"While Hunt's directing debut is promising, if understated, it's her performance as schoolteacher April Epner that impresses the audience." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted May 1, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
D	"Sex and Death falls into the category of those unfortunate films in that it's a schoolboy's wet dream slathered in smug self-back patting and wish-fantasy run amok, all told with the deftness of a piano falling out of the sky and onto our heads." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 11, 2008	Sex and Death 101 (2008)	27%
B	"The film is a hopeful, rollicking, rocking, humorous, heartbreaking journey." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 7, 2008	Girls Rock! (2008)	74%
B+	"An acerbic, wonderfully acted comedy-drama about family ties and mortality." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Savages (2007)	91%
C-	"A mystery that isn't mysterious, a thriller that's barely thrilling." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Walker (2007)	52%
C	"It makes us wonder what all the fuss is about." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
B+	Click here to read article -- RopeofSilicon Posted Nov 24, 2007	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
B	"Engrossing." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Nov 9, 2007	The Bubble (2007)	55%
B-	"The actors are good -- especially Bello, Blunt (who makes Prudie a heartbreak of shrill, unfulfilled dreams and desires) and Dancy." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Sep 27, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	65%
B-	"Vanity project? Maybe. Anybody who writes, directs, edits and stars is called auteur or vain, sometimes depending upon their sex, but Julie Delpy's directorial debut, if derivative, is gutsy enough too." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Aug 23, 2007	2 Days In Paris (2007)	87%
B+	"With the grace of a young Edward Norton, Thompson is a real find." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Aug 9, 2007	Rocket Science (2007)	84%
C	"Instead of inflaming passion and inspiration, the film snuffs it out with the sin of being dull." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 19, 2007	Goya's Ghosts (2007)	28%
B	"The ebullient, proud and gifted musicians who embark on a six-week Gypsy Caravan tour that promotes Roma music are fascinating and as emotionally rich as they are true characters." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 19, 2007	Gypsy Caravan (2006)	85%
C+	"Well-acted but rote and strictly by the book." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 12, 2007	Rescue Dawn (2007)	90%
B	"Three very intelligent actors -- Rickman, Moss and Sigourney Weaver -- elevate what could have been cloying into something better than the script's idiosyncratic bent." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 5, 2007	Snow Cake (2007)	65%
A	"It's the closest thing to a cinematic religious experience I can think of -- all combined with Phillips' terrific sense of visual style, humor and willingness to risk life for art." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 29, 2007	Walking to Werner (2007)	38%
B	"An impressive debut that is orchestrated with a deep, underlying tension that never lets us guess what will come." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 21, 2007	Red Road (2007)	89%
C	"[Director] Fleming is compelled to push for that contemporary upgrade and he fills the film with many airheaded moments that feel like outtakes from every other teen flick." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 14, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
B	"A rich, unsettling film that gives us insight into all sides and forces us to wrestle with conscience and our own brand of right and wrong. It polarizes us to make us united." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted May 18, 2007	Jindabyne (2007)	66%
C-	"Fergus builds suspense, especially in the first half of the film, but then he falls to assumptions and suppositions ..." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 9, 2007	First Snow (2007)	56%
A-	"*Mira Nair returns to her interests in class and immigrant life in this loving adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri's novel The Namesake." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Mar 15, 2007	The Namesake (2007)	85%
B	"The joy is in watching a talented cast make something crisp and fresh out of material that -- though perfectly adequate and enjoyable -- trespasses little into territory that's new or out of the traditionally plotted points of the genre." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 8, 2007	Starter For 10 (2007)	89%
B	"Visually, the Terabithian world is impressively wrought and holds some surprises. Under director Gabor Csupo, the technical side never overshadows the live action or the character-driven story." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 15, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	85%

B	"The film stays mostly true to the values, tenets and lessons that White espoused and, as a period piece of a simpler time of Americana, it looks great as well." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 14, 2006	Charlotte's Web (2006)	78%
B+	"Is there another male filmmaker who so celebrates the mystery of women as much as Pedro Almodovar? Only maverick director George Cukor similarly delighted in the intricacies and moods of the female sex." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Nov 21, 2006	Volver (2006)	91%
C+	"*If you can forgive some woeful casting and a plot that is as creakingly thin as an old staircase, you can enjoy director Christopher Nolan's The Prestige." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Oct 19, 2006	The Prestige (2006)	75%
B	"As always, [Apted] intercuts footage from the previous age levels and provides enough history to make each chapter a fascinating sociological examination in itself." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Oct 12, 2006	49 Up (2006)	97%
B+	"Husband-and-wife directing team Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris balance the eccentricity and darkly funny, offbeat events with some searching moments but they never linger too long in sentimental territory." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Aug 3, 2006	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	91%
B	"There are great flashes of Mudede's potent prose and the main character is fascinating -- a Sengalese Seattle bike cop who is going through a separation from his girlfriend while witnessing crimes and misdemeanors throughout the city." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 13, 2006	Police Beat (2005)	64%
B	"The re-enactments by the actors are potent and the interviews with the real-life boys that punctuate the proceedings, which show their will to survive and to retain their faith and friendship, are heartbreaking to say the least." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 6, 2006	The Road to Guantanamo (2006)	86%
A-	"Hillcoat has made a stunning, meditative, shockingly violent contribution to the Western genre." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 8, 2006	The Proposition (2006)	86%
B	"The film is so well acted -- by Byrne, who makes Harry's internalized agonies and continuously carried torch for his ex-wife touching, and by Watson and Hoult -- that its more cloying moments ... are a moot point." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 1, 2006	Wah-Wah (2006)	52%
B-	"A prettily posed but shallow photo shoot within a photo shoot of a stone skimming over her life." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 20, 2006	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	55%
B	"It's the rare exploration of a misunderstood love between a father and son who, by not knowing how to live with each other, find they must live apart if they can't escape the past." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 13, 2006	On A Clear Day (2006)	67%
B	"A representational slice of life of upscale Los Angeles, complete with its class, race and professional bias, and Holofcener works beautifully to establish a sense of discontent within privilege." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 13, 2006	Friends With Money (2006)	71%
C-	"Hunt and Johansson, two usually good actresses, are vapidly awful, teetering out of their elements in this shakily drawn period piece." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 2, 2006	A Good Woman (2005)	39%
B-	"*The Emmy-winning Desperate Housewives* actress is sympathetic and quietly believable as a pre-op transsexual.*" -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Jan 19, 2006	Transamerica (2005)	76%
B	"[A] playful, meandering, dreamily comic and yearning story about Irish transvestite Patrick 'Kitten' Braden." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 22, 2005	Breakfast on Pluto (2005)	55%
C	"The Producers can't find its rhythm and stride." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 22, 2005	The Producers (2005)	51%
B+	"It's been a while since a movie emitted such conflicted emotions, but that's exactly how it is watching Noah Baumbach's revelatory The Squid and the Whale." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Squid and the Whale (2005)	94%
C+	"The film lacks bite, power and clarity." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Nov 10, 2005	The Dying Gaul (2005)	48%
B	"This is a look at the choices we make, the resulting mistakes and complicity, selfish acts that may be selfless, transgressions and forgiveness that can bind people together as much as separate them." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Oct 13, 2005	Separate Lies (2005)	70%
C+	"A muddled and maudlin mystery tale that has little emotional impact and can't deliver on its potential." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Oct 6, 2005	MirrorMask (2005)	51%
