"Despite the flaws of the filmmaking, the characters who populate the Young@Heart chorus shine through, inspiring young and old alike." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"Semi-Pro is the perfect name for this movie, because it feels like a half-baked comedy made by semi-professionals." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"The movie eventually falls into monster movie clichés...If you're into the movie, you won't care. If you're fed up, you'll just laugh." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Cloverfield (2008)77%

B+
 
"Sometimes jaunty, often dark, and very stylized. In other words, it's a perfect fit for director Tim Burton." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%

B
 
"Either you're in the mood for a sweet and simple Christmas movie or you're not. If you are, then Perfect Holiday should fit the bill nicely." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"The scenes that really work are the ones that take place outside the supermarket, in the beginning and at the end of the film." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Stephen King's The Mist (2007)70%

C+
 
"It's just harmless and bland and dull and predictable, and sometimes that's worse than a bad movie." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

This Christmas (2007)53%

"A few scenes work, but many more don't. Southland Tales may be one feature film that will play better in bits and pieces on the Internet." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"It may not be a new holiday classic, but at least it's funny." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"The riskiest move Seinfeld made was to create an unlikable protagonist who is wrong every step of the way, but treat him like a hero." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Bee Movie (2007)53%

C+
 
"With such a good concept for a vampire movie, it's hard to believe it turned out to be this boring." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"This new version of the story of Moses is a huge step backward for theatrical CG animation, or any animation for that matter." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted Oct 18, 2007
 
The Ten Commandments (2007)15%
/
C
 
"Sometimes the hardest movies to review are the ones that are middle-of-the-road, bland and completely uninspiring, movies like December Boys." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

December Boys (2007)42%

"Performances help raise Hannah Takes the Stairs above the realm of self-indulgent cinema to something worth seeing." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)67%
/
B+
 
"Directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg have found an impressive protagonist in Steidle, but they would have done better to expand the scope of the documentary beyond his personal recollections." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)98%
/
C+
 
"Although Bynes exudes a devil-may-care attitude that is fun to watch, the formulaic movie ultimately falls apart around her." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Sydney White (2007)37%

B-
 
"Jodie Foster and director Neil Jordan shift the genre to the murky left, where right and wrong are not so black and white." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The Brave One (2007)43%

C
 
"In the end, you care about the characters on screen as much as you do for those in video games, which is not at all." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)67%

B
 
"The reason Balls of Fury works as well as it does, aside from its low aspirations, is because of the charm of Fogler in the lead." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Balls of Fury (2007)23%

The cop/ crime stuff that makes up the bulk of the movie is well thought out and well directed. -- Film.com

Heat (1995)89%

I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a solipsistic comedy about the darker side of marriage. -- Film.com

Multiplicity (1996)45%

Has a level of complexity rare in contemporary Hollywood. -- Film.com

Seven (1995)84%

After I first saw the film, I recommended it to people as an entertaining and commercial crime thriller; a standard story done very well. And then I saw it again. The movie is so much better the second time. -- Film.com

The Usual Suspects (1995)89%

Raziah takes everything at face value, forcing us to look again at people and situations we would immediately judge as good or bad -- reason enough to see this film. -- Film.com
