3/4	"I don't know what's more surprising: that director Gus Van Sant has made yet another movie about the lives of disaffected Portland teenagers, or that he's pulled it off one more time with "Paranoid Park."" Posted May 9, 2008	Paranoid Park (2008)	76%
1/4	"That the ending doesn't play fair with the audience is a misdemeanor; the felony is that the filmmakers don't seem to realize what an ugly moral statement they're making with it." Posted May 9, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
3/4	"While the film stresses how hip-hop unifies different cultures, it's interesting to see how each culture's youth has appropriated the principles of hip-hop for its own self-expression." Posted May 9, 2008	Planet B-Boy (2008)	90%
2/4	""Young@Heart" plays like a 100-minute version of one of those "on the lighter side" news feature segments that end a local newscast." Posted May 9, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	87%
3.5/4	"Much of "Counterfeiters" is actually pretty thrilling, as Sorowitsch, a classic taciturn anti-hero in the Humphrey Bogart or William Holden mold, struggles with whether to go along with the Nazi plan or figure out some way of undoing it from within." Posted Apr 10, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
3.5/4	"Writer-director Martin McDonagh revels in splattering his profane, bloody film all across Bruges' lovely cobblestones, and the result is a spectacular, hilariously transgressive debut." Posted Feb 15, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	78%
2/4	"Page is a great character in search of a movie, and "The Walker" doesn't provide it." Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Walker (2007)	51%
2/4	"If making "Youth Without Youth" helped to clean out the pipes for Francis Ford Coppola and spurs him on to do better films, then that's great. The film has served a purpose." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
3.5/4	"We never sympathize with Bauby, because, for much of the film, we are him." Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
3/4	"Did Woody Allen kill somebody once? Could somebody check and make sure Tony Roberts is OK?" Posted Jan 18, 2008	Cassandra's Dream (2008)	50%
4/4	"The fact that "Savages" looks at an ordinary and often inevitable part of life shouldn't obscure the fact that this is a beautifully written and wonderfully played film, capturing the nuances of family dynamics as assuredly as any film I've seen in quite" Posted Jan 18, 2008	The Savages (2007)	90%
3.5/4	"Temple gets at the heart of Strummer's character, at the unbridled joy that existed within his righteous anger, the satisfaction of knowing he was on the right side of history and hadn't had to sell any part of himself to get there." Posted Jan 18, 2008	Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007)	87%
2.5/4	"Watching "27 Dresses" is like going to a wedding that's kind of lame -- the chicken marsala is stringy, the DJ only knows show tunes, and the best man's toast almost triggers an annulment -- but you end up having a decent time anyway." Posted Jan 17, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	39%
4/4	""Citizen Kane" drenched in oil and blood and left to bake in the hot California sun." Posted Jan 17, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
3.5/4	"In the end, Langella lays his character bare before us but leaves his dignity intact." Posted Jan 3, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
3.5/4	"Much of "Juno" crackles with great lines that nobody would ever actually say, but everyone wishes they would think of." Posted Dec 31, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
3.5/4	"Documentary filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev's "My Kid Could Paint That" is an impressive feat in that it revels in its own ambiguity while still giving us a very entertaining, ripped-from-the-headlines mystery story." Posted Dec 21, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
3.5/4	"A completely captivating and powerful moviegoing experience, a heartwrenching but redemptive story that deftly intertwines the personal and the political." Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	66%
4/4	"There's something about the 1979 Stephen Sondheim musical that awakened something audacious and inspired in Burton, sparking him to make his best film since "Ed Wood."" Posted Dec 21, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
4/4	"These are two unique and unforgettable family films -- one an essential part of world cinema, the other an underseen gem -- that a new generation deserves the chance to get acquainted with" Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Red Balloon (1955)	100%
3/4	""Ira & Abby" doesn't throw out the romantic comedy rule book, but it occasionally shuffles the pages a little for comic effect." Posted Dec 7, 2007	Ira & Abby (2007)	66%
2/4	"Every character in The Golden Compass has a 'daemon', a talking animal sidekick who follows them everywhere. It's a neat idea -- I wished I had one sitting in the theater with me to explain what the heck was going on." Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	42%
3/4	"DiCillo hasn't lost his gift for artfully skewering both those basking in fame's spotlight and those lurking in the shadows, while still finding a measure of affection for all of them." Posted Dec 3, 2007	Delirious (2007)	85%
3/4	"In a strange way, "What Would Jesus Buy?" might actually be the most heartwarming holiday movie out there this year." Posted Nov 29, 2007	What Would Jesus Buy? (2007)	65%
2.5/4	"The movie could use a little more juice in the scare department, but overall it's a pretty clever way to repackage the global warming threat for the average audience." Posted Nov 23, 2007	The Last Winter (1984)	n/a
3.5/4	"One of the pleasures of "Devil" is watching what a classic, old-school director Lumet is, focusing intensely on character and staging rather than relying on fast edits or visual trickery." Posted Nov 23, 2007	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
4/4	"It's frustrating, brilliant, beautiful, maddening, hilarious and tragic, and may ruin me for conventional rock 'n' roll biopics that provide easy motivations and facile answers." Posted Nov 21, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
4/4	"Not satisfied with just being one of the best thrillers I've ever seen, "No Country of Old Men" goes beyond that in its third act to becoming a haunting and unforgettable American classic." Posted Nov 21, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
3/4	"Gavras maintains a light touch throughout that allows us a rare chance to emphasize with both the radical and conservative elements at the family dinner table." Posted Nov 16, 2007	Blame it on Fidel (2006)	93%
2/4	"About the only audience that might get something out of "Love in the Time of Cholera" are lazy college students who want to learn the plot points for class without having to sit down and read the book." Posted Nov 16, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	27%
4/4	"I expected that "Gangster" would pay homage to films like "The French Connection," "Superfly," "Serpico" and even "The Godfather." What I didn't expect was that the spirit of those films was deeply imbedded in its bones." Posted Nov 2, 2007	American Gangster (2007)	79%
3.5/4	"It's more like an action movie, a very well-made one, that has a subscription to Newsweek." Posted Oct 26, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
3/4	"Yes, a conventional documentary about sex slavery would probably be more illuminating. It would also be more unbearable." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Trade (2007)	27%
3.5/4	"In a way, "Devil" is two horror stories, the first is what Steidle saw in Darfur, the second what he saw when he left." Posted Oct 26, 2007	The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)	98%
2.5/4	""The Jane Austen Book Club" is far from a failure, especially if it sends curious fans of the movie back to Austen's original six books. I just wish Swicord had gone back to Fowler's original novel once or twice more to see why it works so well." Posted Oct 26, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	64%
3/4	"The most bizarre thing about "Lars and the Real Girl" is how it takes such an outlandish premise and rescues it from John Waters-esque camp." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	80%
3/4	"Add in a terrific soundtrack of original songs by singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche, and "Dan in Real Life" is an unexpected and very welcome treat, a crowd-pleasing mainstream comedy with the soul of an indie." Posted Oct 26, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	64%
3.5/4	"You sense that Seeger may feel his greatest legacy is not what he accomplished, but what his presence gave others the courage to accomplish. Even if it was just singing along with a roomful of strangers." Posted Sep 27, 2007	Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (2007)	95%
3.5/4	"You sense that Seeger (still around and spry at 88) may feel his greatest legacy is not what he accomplished, but what his presence gave others the courage to accomplish. Even if it was just singing along with a roomful of strangers." Posted Sep 27, 2007	Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (2007)	95%
3/4	"One senses that zombie film kingpin George A. Romero, who satirized consumerism in "Dawn of the Dead," would smile like a proud papa if he saw it." Posted Sep 27, 2007	Fido (2007)	67%
3/4	"If "Before Sunset" gave us Paris in all its Bohemian romance, Delpy almost gleefully shows us the dingy, crabby flip side of the city here." Posted Sep 27, 2007	2 Days In Paris (2007)	87%
3/4	""Promises" is a solid, involving crime thriller elevated by some quintessentially Cronenbergian touches, but it's not a truly disturbing Cronenberg experience like "A History of Violence" or "Spider."" Posted Sep 27, 2007	Eastern Promises (2007)	88%
4/4	"It's when the investigation sorts out the knowable (what happened?) and then moves into the unknowable (why?) that "Elah" moves beyond genre and becomes one of the year's best films." Posted Sep 27, 2007	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	71%
3.5/4	"You feel like you've stumbled across a lost treasure from some studio's vaults that was meant to be buried forever." Posted Sep 14, 2007	Brand Upon The Brain! (2007)	93%
3/4	""Moliere" actually tells a funny, involving story that really does seem inspired by its subject, rather than just lazily cribbing from his work." Posted Sep 14, 2007	Moliere (2007)	70%
3/4	"I can certainly recommend the experience of having seen "Lady Chatterley." The experience of actually seeing it, however -- all 168 leisurely paced minutes of it -- doesn't generate quite as much enthusiasm." Posted Sep 6, 2007	Lady Chatterley (2007)	74%
2/4	"There's just one hysterical scene after another, ideal for an acting class but off-putting over the course of even a relatively short film like this one." Posted Sep 6, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
2.5/4	"we leave the theater feeling like we've just been at a church service that went on a little too long." Posted Sep 6, 2007	The Ten (2007)	39%
3.5/4	"It's way too early to signal the rebirth of the western at the movies, but if it happens, it'll be because of smart and thoughtful entertainment like this that sucks audiences in whether or not they care how the West was won." Posted Sep 6, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
3/4	"You just want to shake the filmmakers by the shoulders and yell, "You have a damaged spaceship loaded with nuclear weapons speeding straight into the heart of the sun. Really, that's not enough drama for you?"" Posted Aug 10, 2007	Sunshine (2007)	75%
