3.5/4	"simultaneously rigorous and ridiculous, a curious blend of Alfred Hitchcock�s suspenseful sadism and Michelangelo Antonioni�s arty ennui" Posted May 27, 2008	Dario Argento's Tenebre (1982)	75%
2/5	Click here to read article Posted May 27, 2008	Phenomena (1985)	77%
3.5/4	"it it borders at times on the sticky-sentimental, Spielberg always has at least one more slapstick joke or moment of pure-rush action to sharpen up those softened edges" Posted May 13, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)	89%

4/4	"its deliberately ambiguous ending all but demands studied retrospection, if not repeated viewings" Posted Mar 11, 2008	No Country for Old Men (2007)	95%
	"Unfortunately, the film's more poetic visual tendencies are frequently undermined by the unnecessary narration written and performed by Cocteau himself, which informs us of emotions and psychological states that are mostly evident on-screen." Posted Mar 3, 2008	Les Enfants Terribles (1950)	75%
3/4	"There is something uneasy underlying the entire film, and watching it is not unlike stepping into a dream in which not everything makes perfect sense, but every detail commands your absolute attention." Posted Feb 26, 2008	Otoshiana (1962)	n/a
3.5/4	"at times uproariously funny, and it has moments of beautifully wild abandon" Posted Feb 26, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	96%

3.5/5	"Jenkins is a provocateur to be sure, but she also has a heart, which is why her films don't come across as mean even when dealing comically with issues of death, debilitation, and emotional trauma." Posted Jan 1, 2008	The Savages (2007)	91%
3/4	"holds out a modicum of hope, but only enough to suggest that human relationships, despite their difficulties, are what keep us together" Posted Dec 11, 2007	Sawdust and Tinsel (1953)	100%
3.5/4	"an uproarious teen comedy that pulls no punches as it interjects a genuinely sweet message about the nature of friendship and maturity amidst all its cleverly parsed vulgarity" Posted Dec 4, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
3.5/4	"both funny and intriguing in the way it develops its mystery and then strings it out into a web of espionage and deceit" Posted Dec 4, 2007	The Lady Vanishes (1938)	96%

2/5	"We are the point of technological nirvana in which it makes sense to someone somewhere to use millions of dollars in money and thousands of hours of labor to digitally recreate that which an old-fashioned (dare I say outdated?) technology already provides" Posted Dec 1, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	69%
2/5	"The interwoven narrative strategy that gradually reveals hidden connections is so old hat at this point that it feels more hackneyed than revelatory, even in such highly concentrated form." Posted Dec 1, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
3/4	"a funny film, one that pays due homage to its silent film forebears without simply aping their antics" Posted Dec 1, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
3/5	"Carell has continued to grow and mature as an actor." Posted Dec 1, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	65%

3.5/4	"an utterly absorbing documentary" Posted Nov 24, 2007	Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991)	100%
1.5/4	"what happens on-screen during much of Sweet Movie is less a challenge to my worldview than it is confirmation that Makavejev is essentially shoveling what he�s showing" Posted Nov 17, 2007	Sweet Movie (1975)	38%
3/4	"actually makes an intriguing point about the nature of pleasure for its own sake and the constant desire to increase sensory intake" Posted Nov 17, 2007	Hostel (2006)	58%
4/5	Click here to read article Posted Nov 17, 2007	Breathless (1983)	64%
