Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
2.5/4	"It's instantly engrossing, stays great for about 45 minutes and good for another 20, then begins collapsing under the oppressive weight of taking itself very, very seriously." Posted Apr 27, 2007	Smokin' Aces (2007)	27%
4/4	"Hollywood, take notice: If you hand Penelope Cruz a role with more depth than the paper it's printed on, this is what you'll get." Posted Apr 27, 2007	Volver (2006)	91%
4/4	"I saw better films in 2006 -- but none more imaginative than Guillermo del Toro's communal masterpiece. Bring a friend, and you'll have plenty to talk about." Posted Apr 27, 2007	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
0.5/4	"It's rough going when our heroes have us longing for the complexity of the riverboat crew from 'Anaconda.'" Posted Apr 27, 2007	Primeval (2007)	17%
3.5/4	"The remarkable achievement is not just in Helen Mirren's performance -- but in the sly, often almost imperceptible observations of how violently worlds can collide with a fleeting word, a subtle gesture." Posted Apr 27, 2007	The Queen (2006)	97%
1.5/4	"I've seen films that said nothing in entertaining, even compelling ways. 'Thr3e' is not one of them. At least it's not wholesome too." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Thr3e (2007)	6%
2.5/4	"An inquisitive mind's thirst for understanding runs counter to your enjoyment, when a film's heart is usually in the right place but its brain is on permanent vacation." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Night at the Museum (2006)	44%
3.5/4	"Don't be put off by the G rating. I know a lot of adults who could learn from a talking pig." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Charlotte's Web (2006)	78%
2/4	"If ever there were a film that shouldn't end on a note of rhythmic clapping, this is it. What a mess." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Blood Diamond (2006)	63%
2/4	"Don't stay home out of fear of imagined atrocities in another country. Stay home from this movie instead." Posted Jan 5, 2007	Turistas (2006)	15%
2.5/4	"A stylish, engrossing popcorn thriller with a few unexpected rewards -- as long as you don't think about it too hard." Posted Nov 24, 2006	Deja Vu (2006)	56%
3.5/4	"*Is this the best Bond ever? No. But it is the most confident, expertly crafted and simply exhilarating since For Your Eyes Only. The reason for that is Daniel Craig." Posted Nov 24, 2006*	Casino Royale (2006)	94%
2.5/4	"'Look Homeward, Gladiator' hints at new dimensions of warmth and heart in Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott. They're not there yet, but they're headed in the right direction." Posted Nov 24, 2006	A Good Year (2006)	26%
2/4	"Cinema is far too powerful a medium to be graded on a curve-- even when Tim Allen is involved." Posted Nov 24, 2006	The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)	13%
2/4	"Films like 'Marie Antoinette' foster serious discussion about cinema for all the wrong reasons. Just what the hell is this supposed to be?" Posted Nov 24, 2006	Marie Antoinette (2006)	54%
2.5/4	"Barry Levinson is a case study in narrative schizophrenia, with no idea what he wants his film to be." Posted Oct 23, 2006	Man of the Year (2006)	20%
4/4	"*Stacked up against Taxi Driver* and Raging Bull, sure ... this is lesser Scorsese. And 'lesser' Scorsese is still better than almost anything else around.*" Posted Oct 13, 2006*	The Departed (2006)	92%
.5/4	"The title tells all. To hell with it." Posted Oct 13, 2006	Jackass: Number Two (2006)	61%
2/4	"What's worse -- a bad remake of a classic film, or just a bad literary adaptation with delusions of grandeur?" Posted Oct 13, 2006	All The King's Men (2006)	12%
3/4	"After two hours of meandering, convoluted indulgences and loose ends, 'The Black Dahlia' reveals a kinder, gentler Brian De Palma. He should be a good guy to have around." Posted Oct 13, 2006	The Black Dahlia (2006)	35%
3/4	"LaBute's remake could be an atonement, a perversely clever way of turning the gun on himself... or a conspiracy theorist's invective against a gender he fears and loathes." Posted Oct 13, 2006	The Wicker Man (2006)	16%
2/4	"*!@#&! Sam Arkoff must be screaming 'I told you so' from a !@#&!mountaintop -- because it took Hollywood 35 !@#&! years to discover what he knew all along.*" Posted Aug 20, 2006*	Snakes on a Plane (2006)	70%
4/4	"Linklater has a determined method in making sense of the madness -- framing Dick's political paranoia as a plea for mankind to reverse the course of its self-destruction." Posted Aug 15, 2006	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	67%
1.5/4	"Dulled down into a mayo-and-bologna on white by a succession of dependably bland post-'Home Improvement' trifles, the light is gone from the eyes of Tim Allen." Posted Aug 15, 2006	Zoom (2006)	2%
2.5/4	"There's the lovable, semi-literate stupidity of Will Ferrell's 'Anchorman' ... and then there's just plain stupid." Posted Aug 10, 2006	Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)	72%
3/4	"In a genre where misogyny runs as a matter of course, 'The Descent' is a true rarity: a feminist horror film. It's Ida Lupino kicking Brian De Palma right in the junk." Posted Aug 10, 2006	The Descent (2006)	85%
3.5/4	"Truth is stranger than fiction -- even in Oliver Stone's hands. 'World Trade Center' is an honorable film." Posted Aug 10, 2006	World Trade Center (2006)	70%
3/4	"I can't say I've spent the last dozen years desperate to catch up with these guys. But it's nice to have them around again." Posted Jul 26, 2006	Clerks II (2006)	63%
2/4	"This 'comedy' is so clumsily executed and wheezy it's a wonder anyone had the resolve to finish it." Posted Jul 26, 2006	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
3.5/4	"... For those within its reach, 'An Inconvenient Truth' is a film we can ignore only at our own peril." Posted Jul 11, 2006	An Inconvenient Truth (2006)	93%
2/4	"This time around, Captain Jack won't get you high tonight or take you to your special island." Posted Jul 11, 2006	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	54%
3.5/4	"With child's-eye exuberance, Bryan Singer brings an obvious respect, even reverence for the mythology of America's most enduring superhero and his cinematic legacy ..." Posted Jun 29, 2006	Superman Returns (2006)	77%
1.5/4	"A few substantial laughs (with that patented Sandler undercurrent of cruelty) lead to one of the most depressing descents into mawkish sentiment I've ever seen in a 'comedy.'" Posted Jun 27, 2006	Click (2006)	31%
1.5/4	"'The Lake House' is one of those romances that strives for unconventionality at the expense of clear storytelling and good sense." Posted Jun 20, 2006	The Lake House (2006)	36%
3.5/4	"No American filmmaker other than Robert Altman could have been a better choice for Garrison Keillor's relentlessly quirky corner of an Americana that doesn't exist anymore." Posted Jun 13, 2006	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	80%
1.5/4	"'10 Things I Hate About the Apocalypse.'" Posted Jun 13, 2006	The Omen (2006)	26%
2/4	"Fast food that doesn't taste fast." Posted May 23, 2006	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%
1/4	"Lohan can be good in characters endowed with a glimmer of intelligence. But too often she shoehorns herself into vehicles operating under the fallacy that stupidity is cute." Posted May 17, 2006	Just My Luck (2006)	13%
3/4	"The small-screen sensibility of 'Alias' creator J.J. Abrams proves to be the adrenaline shot needed to finally get this franchise on its feet." Posted May 17, 2006	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	70%
3.5/4	"There's never a moment when we're not certain everything will turn out OK. But to suggest a film bursting with such heart and good cheer should be any other way is a crime." Posted May 2, 2006	Akeelah and the Bee (2006)	83%
4/4	"If this were a work of complete fiction, it would be an absolutely riveting thriller. That it's based on actual events makes it all the more horrific, and heartbreaking." Posted May 2, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
2/4	"Recommend this one to a friend with a bum ticker. Not a single moment in the 108-minute running time is sufficient to even quicken the pulse." Posted Apr 23, 2006	The Sentinel (2006)	34%
1/4	"David Zucker, who once had one of the most supple comic touches in the business, has turned into the chowderhead who keeps elbowing you in the ribs asking, 'Get it? Get it?'" Posted Apr 23, 2006	Scary Movie 4 (2006)	38%
2.5/4	"I have to say this for 'Lucky Number Slevin': It accomplishes nothing with extraordinary aplomb." Posted Apr 11, 2006	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	51%
2/4	"The periodic fits of inspiration -- most of them courtesy of Scrat -- are just welcome breaks from an onslaught of witless pratfalling and white noise." Posted Apr 4, 2006	Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)	56%
3/4	"Everyone is acting in a different film, and not one of them is in a Spike Lee Joint. But it's such a consistent oddity that it's never fighting to hold our attention." Posted Apr 4, 2006	Inside Man (2006)	86%
3/4	"Hopkins presides as such an engaging old coot, it seems criminal to point out flaws in the film -- which rarely tries to be more than a Kiwi version of 'The Straight Story.'" Posted Apr 4, 2006	The World's Fastest Indian (2005)	79%
3/4	"'V' screams loudly and long, with visceral, kinetic fury and with style to burn. It's so brazen, it's kind of brilliant." Posted Apr 4, 2006	V For Vendetta (2005)	73%
1.5/4	"Alexandre Aja's take on Wes Craven's cult classic is lurid grindhouse trash, posturing as a satirical screed about American Cold War jingoism and irresponsible nuclear policy." Posted Mar 14, 2006	The Hills Have Eyes (2006)	50%
3.5/4	"The action movie is the cheese sandwich of film genres, but efforts like 'Running Scared' remind us all too rarely that they don't have to be Kraft Singles on Wonder Bread." Posted Feb 25, 2006	Running Scared (2006)	40%
