"This Christmas, Spain has given the film world the best possible gift: a new and brilliant young director."

"Ultimately, though, the question arises: why bother?"

"Murder for its own sake wears quickly on me and I found myself wanting to flee the theater, and the sooner the better."
Posted Nov 17, 2007
 
No Country for Old Men (2007)94%
/
 
"Screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan as a way with dialogue; the verbal confrontations between Malley and Todd and Janine and Irving are choice, and all actors are in top form."
Posted Nov 17, 2007
 
Lions for Lambs (2007)28%
/
 
"Sharkwater is fascinating both as political statement and beautifully filmed documentary."
Posted Nov 3, 2007
 
Sharkwater (2007)81%

"Do we need yet another film about drug dealers? No, especially not one that takes 157 minutes to get where it's going."
Posted Nov 3, 2007
 
American Gangster (2007)79%
/
 
"Caine and Law are terrific together, verbally circling each other like panthers ready to pounce."
Posted Oct 27, 2007
 
Sleuth (2007)36%

"Full of gentle humor and down-home sensitivity, Lars and the Real Girl draws you in and holds your interest."
Posted Oct 27, 2007
 
Lars And The Real Girl (2007)81%

"Leung turns in his usual fine performance, and Tang shows evidence of the kind of chops that will guarantee her a long career. Maybe her next film will tell a better story."
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
Lust, Caution (2007)70%
/
 
"My Kid Could Paint That is a fascinating portrait, as much about media manipulation, the art establishment and parenting as it is about a little girl who happens to like to paint."
Posted Oct 20, 2007
 
My Kid Could Paint That (2007)93%
/
 
"Too long, too ponderous, too noisy."
Posted Oct 13, 2007
 
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)34%

Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
Manda Bala (2007)80%
/
 
"Is it a good film? Not especially, though you can't go too far wrong with Chris Cooper in any cast, and he alone raises the quality a notch or two."
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
The Kingdom (2007)51%
/
 
"It's a sad but common story."
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
Trade (2007)27%

"Directors Dan Klores and Fisher Stevens treat this as a straight-up documentary and it is fascinating in a terribly sad sort of way. But it's difficult not to wonder why we need to hear this story."
Posted Sep 22, 2007
 
Crazy Love (2007)78%
/
 
"First-time filmmaker Neten Chokling, himself a great Tibetan meditation master, has made a remarkable film using nonprofessional actors and a mostly nonprofessional crew."

Milarepa (2007)36%
/
 
"Muddle-headed."
Posted Sep 22, 2007
 
Ira & Abby (2007)66%

"It's a funny, horrible story (with black humor of the sort many war correspondents write about), shot mostly in Croatia and nicely paced."
Posted Sep 22, 2007
 
The Hunting Party (2007)52%

Interview (2007)57%

"A captivating look at a fascinating people. Even Johnny Depp, a friend of the Taraf group, shows up."
Posted Jul 21, 2007
 
Gypsy Caravan (2006)86%

"To a non-Potter fan like me, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix comes across as a standard action thriller and not a piece with any depth."

"For those who know the story, all the rushing about soon seems redundant and unnecessary, but perhaps those who don't will bring more patience to the story."
Posted Jun 19, 2007
 
A Mighty Heart (2007)77%
/
 
"The shot angles, the gray look of the film as a whole and Timothy Spall’s spectacular and understated performance as Pierrepoint make this one of the most powerful anti-capital punishment films I’ve seen."
Posted Jun 9, 2007
 
Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2007)78%

"Chalk will strike a responsive chord in teachers and others who can take it not as fact but as indicative of the state of the art."

"Hansard and Irglov (who have worked together musically) are convincing in this slight not-quite-romantic fantasy that does nothing more than affirm the possibility of human connection, however brief."

Once (2007)97%

"This is a perfect role for Posey and she plays it to the hilt, with the rest of the cast providing complementary lunacy."
Posted May 19, 2007
 
Fay Grim (2007)43%

Posted May 19, 2007
 
Shrek the Third (2007)42%
/
 
"A film that opens with parents-to-be tossing baby names like Doofus and Boobies around -- and thinking that's funny -- is a film that doesn't deserve a review."
