"A terrific horror premise goes begging in the garbled Halloween offering 30 Days of Night." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 24, 2007
 
30 Days of Night (2007)49%
/
 
"First-time director Ringan Ledwidge conjures up an effectively creepy mood to accompany three young backpackers on an ill-fated road trip across the Aussie desert." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Mar 13, 2007
 
Gone (2006)55%
/
 
"This is another tale about dreamers, transplanted to the Australian opal-mining hub of Coober Pedy, where the frenzied quest for the rainbow-colored gemstones creates a modern-day gold rush atmosphere." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 7, 2006
 
Opal Dream (2006)69%
/
 
"The premise is provocative but the film lingers too long on the scenes of imprisonment, turning them into a kind of soft-porn performance art and leaving the emotional aftershocks less satisfyingly explored." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 16, 2006
 
The Book of Revelation (2006)82%
/
 
"Eloquent direction lifts this beyond a genre whodunit." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 13, 2006
 
The Silence (2006)n/a
/
 
"This is Shakespeare as action film -- furiously paced and unapologetically cinematic. If the baroque sets and costumes often overwhelm the acting, it's unlikely the hipsters will mind." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 13, 2006
 
Macbeth (2007)46%
/
 
"A coiled and enigmatic psychodrama that cements Australian director Ray Lawrence's standing as a fine, if not prolific, filmmaker." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 20, 2006
 
Jindabyne (2007)66%
/
 
"Witty choreography juices the pedestrian plot." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 15, 2006
 
Fearless (2006)73%
/
 
"While intelligent performances from the luminous Porter (Better Than Sex) and newcomer Thaine make their unconventional mother-daughter relationship feel thoroughly organic, the script finally collapses under the weight of a narrative pile-up." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 8, 2006
 
Caterpillar Wish (2006)n/a
/
 
"An enchanting fable rich in authenticity and shot through with unexpected humor." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 20, 2006
 
Ten Canoes (2007)98%
/
3.5/4
 
"Devoid of 21st-century irony, this visually stunning, action-packed yuletide treat is sweet and, yes, magical in a way that will enchant kids and give older viewers a twinge of nostalgia." -- New York Post
Posted Nov 10, 2004
 
The Polar Express (2004)56%
/
3/4
 
"An intelligent and entertaining exploration of racial and sexual politics that brings alive the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, and draws parallels with African-American identity crises of today." -- New York Post
Posted Nov 5, 2004
 
Brother to Brother (2004)76%
/
1.5/4
 
"Law tries hard to make his Alfie likable, but he's working against the orchestrations of the narrative and merely comes off as feeble, a one-dimensional Eurotrash jerk with outmoded ideas about women and troubles that don't amount to a hill of beans." -- New York Post
Posted Nov 5, 2004
 
Alfie (2004)49%
/
2.5/4
 
"There's something inherently frustrating about the illogical plot and the breezy vagueness of its message, which seems to be linking the global freezing of a near-future world with the coldness in people's hearts." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 29, 2004
 
It's All About Love (2004)14%
/
2/4
 
"It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that ultimately reveals... not much." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 29, 2004
 
Birth (2004)40%
/
2/4
 
"A sporadically amusing curiosity that falls short of effectively satirizing the public's fixation with the minutiae of celebrity lives." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
Stella Street (2003)12%
/
3.5/4
 
"Anderson gives The Machinist a sickly noirish look that contributes to the creeping horror -- but it's the emaciated Bale's spectral presence that leaves the imprint." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
The Machinist (2004)73%
/
3/4
 
"Undertow conforms to many of the tropes of a formula thriller but, aided by an evocative Philip Glass score and Tim Orr's beautifully naturalistic cinematography, it transcends the genre." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
Undertow (2004)56%
/
3/4
 
"Lightning is a joyous, toe-tapping celebration of a musical style born of sorrow." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
Lightning in a Bottle (2004)87%
/
2.5/4
 
"It's a simple tale of father-and-son bonding that director Huo Jianqi injects with a quiet power, and it benefits greatly from the gorgeous lushness of its backdrop." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
Postmen in the Mountains (1998)96%
/
4/4
 
"It's a joy to watch comedy unfold so naturally, the laughs gently teased out from our growing knowledge of the characters, their imperfections, doubts and, yes, emotional pain." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 22, 2004
 
Sideways (2004)96%
/
4/4
 
"Consistently hilarious." -- New York Post

Hair Show (2004)17%
/
3/4
 
"[Bening] pulls out all the stops playing a limelight-loving stage diva in 1930s London, and her vivacious performance should guarantee her a spot on Oscar's list of Best Actress nominees." -- New York Post
Posted Oct 15, 2004
 
Being Julia (2004)76%
/
2.5/4
 
"There's little here to make this stand out in an already well-stuffed genre." -- New York Post

Saints And Soldiers ()66%

"Devolves into a best-forgotten clone of an utterly illogical X-Files episode." -- New York Post
Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
The Forgotten (2004)31%
/
3/4
 
"Sayles' unabashedly partisan film moseys along in an unhurried fashion, encompassing myriad story lines yet taking the trouble to fully develop each of its many characters." -- New York Post
Posted Sep 17, 2004
 
Silver City (2004)47%
/
2/4
 
"An overlong melodrama- by-numbers, existing mainly to give Theron a backdrop against which to smoke and brood in a series of elegant period outfits." -- New York Post
Posted Sep 17, 2004
 
Head in the Clouds (2004)15%
/
2/4
 
"There's really nothing new here ... and lacking the drama and humor of Fahrenheit 9/11, it is even more likely to be preaching to the converted." -- New York Post

Paparazzi (2004)18%
/
2/4
 
"There are some powerful emotions coursing through Virgin, writer-director Deborah Kampmeier's raw first feature, and a tighter script would have made them even more affecting." -- New York Post
Posted Sep 3, 2004
 
Virgin (2003)40%

Wicker Park (2004)23%
/
2.5/4
