The Art of Negative Thinking (2007)n/a
/
 
"With a low-budget look, cliched dialogue, a stale plot and so-so acting, this supernatural thriller is unlikely to achieve the phenomenal success of its fabled predecessor."
Posted May 22, 2008
 
The Objective (2008)n/a
/
 
"Producer-director-writer Andy Abrahams Wilson ("Bubbeh Lee and Me") takes a creative, humanistic approach that makes the complex material dramatic and visually interesting."
Posted May 5, 2008
 
Under Our Skin (2008)n/a
/
 
"Much sweeter and less raunchy than coming-of-agers such as Superbad or Slums of Beverly Hills, Bart's clever, PG-level innuendo is engaging and suitable for family viewing."

Bitter & Twisted (2008)n/a
/
 
"Beautifully crafted, often sentimental, sometimes humorous pic."
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
The Song of Sparrows (2008)n/a
/
 
"As usual, Leigh's trademark extended rehearsal process pays off with vivid characterizations from ensemble cast."
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)94%
/
 
"Despite the mega-wattage of pic’s starry cast, theatrical prospects seem dim for this clumsy melodrama, which looks and sounds no better than an average made-for-cabler."
Posted Feb 12, 2008
 
Fireflies in the Garden (2008)n/a
/
 
"Lazily scripted, without even a pretense of character development or psychological depth, it offers nothing new for genre fans and no reason for mainstream auds to bite."
Posted Nov 5, 2007
 
[Rec] (2007)92%
/
 
"A powerful argument against impetuous decisions, be they to join the military or to attack a country."
Posted Nov 3, 2007
 
Body of War (2008)71%
/
 
"Nuanced perfs and standout production design convey story in cinematic terms, preserving the narrative's emotional power and historical sweep as it spans continents and decades."
Posted Oct 5, 2007
 
The Kite Runner (2007)67%
/
 
"Script's strong point is smooth way fictional stories flow in and out of the cover yarn."
Posted Oct 3, 2007
 
Love Comes Lately (2008)59%
/
 
"Japanese indie idol Asano smolders as maverick Temudgin [Khan]."
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
Mongol (2008)88%

"Ultimately fails to deliver on the audacity of its premise."

The Babysitters (2008)28%

"Ultimately fails to deliver on the audacity of its premise."
Posted Sep 17, 2007
 
The Babysitter ()n/a
/
 
"Tenderly depicting his characters' human foibles with low-key visual humor, Gillespie never condescends or goes for an easy joke."
Posted Sep 11, 2007
 
Lars And The Real Girl (2007)81%
/
 
"Auds can see what Auburn was aiming for, but his portrait of grieving and wishful thinking doesn't connect emotionally. He's not helped by Weaver's brittle, unsympathetic perf, which borders on caricature."
Posted Sep 11, 2007
 
The Girl in the Park (2007)n/a
/
 
"The hot-button topic of exploited immigrant labor forms the backdrop of It's a Free World .... , the latest collaboration between helmer Ken Loach and scribe Paul Laverty."
Posted Sep 4, 2007
 
It's a Free World (2007)93%
/
 
"Here, as in his two prior outings, Anderson's arch, highly artificial style gets in the way of character and emotional development, rendering pic piquant rather than profound."
Posted Sep 4, 2007
 
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)67%
/
 
"If as much care were taken with script as with visuals, pic would have more impact."
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
Far North (2007)n/a
/
 
"An occasionally cringe-inducing mix of pathos and humor, the tightly scripted and well-acted tale follows a lonely, vulnerable meter maid who falls into a comically horrific relationship with a colleague incapable of emotional intimacy."
Posted May 24, 2007
 
Expired (2008)60%
/
 
"[A] tightly constructed, cleverly stylized, serio-comic ensemble piece."
Posted May 24, 2007
 
Jellyfish (2008)86%
/
 
"An affecting and entertaining dissection of the American health care industry, showing how it benefits the few at the expense of the many."
Posted May 20, 2007
 
Sicko (2007)93%
