No Rating	"A movie, candid and gently self-deprecating, about the people we rely on never to achieve fame and success." Posted Oct 19, 2005	The Definition of Insanity (2004)	n/a
3/4	"The movie is pleasing in its incompleteness. It colors outside the lines." Posted Oct 17, 2005	Nine Lives (2005)	75%
2/4	"The movie is about personalities, surroundings, look and style. The atmosphere is the plot. It's, uh, plotmosphere." Posted Oct 10, 2005	Escape Artists (2005)	n/a
3/4	"With an almost-reality style much like (but far down the socioeconomic scale from) 'K Street', it might have an impact on the arthouse audience and on American filmmaking." Posted Oct 10, 2005	Bubble (2006)	71%
2.5/4	"A caricature that indicts, if not our actual country, then a rather similar country that an outsider imagines America to be." Posted Oct 10, 2005	Land of Plenty (2005)	63%
2/4	"Quick, what's the first thing you do as a director trying to make yourself seem cool, besides editing the movie backwards? Right! You shoot your scenes in one continuous shot." Posted Oct 5, 2005	Through the Forest (2005)	80%
N/A	""Democrats have taken on a kind of timidity that isn't natural for people in the party of Roosevelt, Truman, Wilson, Johnson, Kennedy. We shouldn't be cowardly and silent just because we've taken a couple of beatings."" Posted Sep 25, 2005	One Bright Shining Moment (2005)	83%
3/4	"This is an excellent time to remind ourselves of this story. Another McGovern would have been a good thing to have the last five years." Posted Sep 22, 2005	One Bright Shining Moment (2005)	83%
3/4	"It would be nice to see Meirelles apply himself to looser, earthier, fleshier films in the future." Posted Sep 7, 2005	The Constant Gardener (2005)	84%
2.5/4	"*'Did you get* it?' Guy 1 asked Guy 2 in the men's room after seeing 2046. 'Yeah...,' said Guy 2. 'I think so. ... Maybe.'*" Posted Aug 15, 2005*	2046 (2005)	84%
4/4	"Mondovino is not a movie that swirls some wine around in a glass and admires the color and praises the bouquet and speaks of the wine's 'complexity' and uses the whole experience as some kind of rarefied metaphor for middle-aged angst." Posted Aug 9, 2005	Mondovino (2005)	70%
3.25/4	"She has the courage to maintain a loud, clear voice of honesty in the kingdom of hypocrisy. As Shelby tells a radio interviewer: 'I'm kinda scary to tangle with. Sorry.'" Posted Aug 8, 2005	Education Of Shelby Knox ()	n/a
3.5/4	"This is one of those movies that you either click with or don't. But for those who do, it's a shot of mental adrenaline." Posted Aug 8, 2005	After the Day Before (2004)	n/a
4/4	"*Three couples were talking out loud as the film started. But before I could give them the traditional New York 'Shut the #%& Up,' the movie shut them the #%& up for me." Posted Aug 7, 2005*	Oldboy (2005)	82%
3/4	"There is a little action and suspense involved, but the adventure is mostly mental. It works because it's smart, and because of the performances of the two leads." Posted Jun 13, 2005	Nightingale in a Music Box (2002)	67%
3/4	"What do you suppose happens when a woman in the Golan Heights decides to marry a man on the other side of the Syrian border? What happens is an international incident." Posted Jun 10, 2005	The Syrian Bride (2005)	88%
1.5/4	"Sternfeld started with well-conceived characters and simply didn't succeed in making them flesh. These people have traits instead of personalities; goals instead of dreams." Posted Jun 8, 2005	Winter Solstice (2005)	62%
2/4	"Good movie sex without the good movie." Posted Jun 7, 2005	9 Songs (2005)	25%
0.5/4	"Parness is a tourist in the land of mental illness, sitting in the air-conditioned tour bus of his mind looking out at the people below & scratching his head for clumsy jokes." Posted Jun 7, 2005	Max and Grace (2003)	n/a
2/4	"*Dog lovers may give Cape of Good Hope* an extra star and a half for the way it uses the canine world to slyly comment on the human world. Cat people can go either way.*" Posted Jun 6, 2005*	Cape Of Good Hope (2005)	68%
2.5/4	"It takes one of two things to cut through the critic's desensitized haze � either a smashingly original idea, or the same old ideas re-envisioned with unusual grace. Junebug is a nice example of the second." Posted Jun 2, 2005	Junebug (2005)	87%
3.5/4	"If we were better people than we are, we'd all be interested in a documentary about the difficulties of farming life � and the central character wouldn't have to be a cross-dressing, movie-making, play-writing, hippie-loving free spirit." Posted Jun 2, 2005	The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007)	88%
1.5/4	"It offers us nostalgia for the present. Remember when we joined the global village? Remember your first cell phone? Remember text messaging? Wow, those were some crazy times." Posted Apr 22, 2005	The World (2005)	68%
3.25/4	"*If every audience-manipulating, tear-jerking romance picture were like Crying Out Love, it would give audience-manipulating, tear-jerking romance pictures a good name." Posted Apr 19, 2005*	Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World (2004)	n/a
3.5/4	"It's tempting to call this something like 'Hitchcock for the prozac generation,' except it's not clear that prozac has made it to this part of the frigid north." Posted Apr 15, 2005	Frozen (2005)	n/a
3.5/4	"Saverio Costanzo has a two-state solution for the Middle East -- one state in the living room and the other in the bedroom." Posted Mar 25, 2005	Private (2004)	80%
2.5/4	"Despite the film's obviousness, it does illustrate the many ways war rends society." Posted Mar 25, 2005	O Heroi (2004)	100%
2/4	"It's intended to puzzle us -- and sure, the little puzzles peppered throughout the film are fine. It's the grand non-sequiturs that are distracting." Posted Mar 22, 2005	The Intruder (2005)	84%
1.5/4	"Aha! The bad guys are the Americans with their big bucks and heartless capitalism, ruining the world for the humble French." Posted Mar 22, 2005	Holy Lola (2004)	n/a
3.25/4	"Here's the way you want see the film -- the first two hours in your 20s, the middle two hours in your 40s, and the last two hours in your 60s." Posted Mar 21, 2005	The Best of Youth (2005)	95%
3.5/4	"We start with the human Hitler." Posted Feb 25, 2005	Downfall (2005)	91%
3.25/4	"There's something about boxing � a.k.a. the most barbaric sport on earth � that the camera loves." Posted Feb 4, 2005	Million Dollar Baby (2004)	91%
3.5/4	"A dark, intense exploration of what the assassin's job -- with its secret thrill and its psychological weight -- demands of the people who carry it out." Posted Nov 23, 2004	One Shot (2004)	n/a
3.25/4	"It's an important window into one of the basic building blocks of American society -- the dysfunctional family." Posted Nov 8, 2004	The Watershed (2004)	n/a
2.5/4	"Unlike an American, this Swiss girl is worried that her breasts are too big and her thighs are too small. And as for boys � well, she's mostly interested in outrunning them." Posted Nov 5, 2004	Strong Shoulders (2004)	100%
2/4	"At least it doesn't lack passion. It's just disappointing whenever the characters feel the need to put their clothes back on." Posted Nov 3, 2004	Grande Ecole (2004)	n/a
3.5/4	"This concert, dressing up the blues in its funeral-home best for one last bash at Radio City, seems like a eulogy for this patrimonial art form. Why did it leave us so soon?" Posted Oct 27, 2004	Lightning in a Bottle (2004)	87%
1/4	"Everyone ends up in bed. Given that, you'd expect this to be good, racy fun. Given its thinky title, you might at least expect it to be, in some way, profound. It is neither." Posted Oct 20, 2004	Woman is the Future of Man (2006)	78%
2/4	"Earnest and, for at least its first half, plotless." Posted Oct 4, 2004	Or (My Treasure) (2005)	77%
4/4	"After the opening credits alone, the two women next to me let out gasps of � what? Pain? Shock? Disbelief? Anger? Whatever it was, this was only the beginning." Posted Oct 3, 2004	Undertow (2004)	56%
1.5/4	"I should share one helpful tip for staying awake through the whole two-hour exercise � sit in front of someone who snores. It worked for me." Posted Oct 1, 2004	Triple Agent (2005)	78%
2.5/4	"*I didn't enjoy Tarnation, I didn't like it, I didn't particularly want to stay and watch it � but I respect it." Posted Oct 1, 2004*	Tarnation (2004)	92%
3.5/4	"It yanks us eyes-first into a place that we, in our living rooms, have known only as a clich�." Posted Sep 24, 2004	September Tapes (2004)	21%
3/4	"Particles of Truth is a low-budget indie that first seems scattered and off-putting but in time reveals its writer-director's considerable ability and artistic sense." Posted Sep 18, 2004	Particles of Truth (2003)	45%
3/4	"*Sayles has made many movies like this, and they've ranged from genius (Lone Star) to just average (City of Hope). Silver City* falls in-between.*" Posted Sep 17, 2004*	Silver City (2004)	47%
1.5/4	"Can't we at least pretend that we didn't get into the film business so we could meet beautiful actresses and desperate starlets? Guess not." Posted Sep 15, 2004	When Will I Be Loved (2004)	33%
1/4	"*The 'Bleep' in What the Bleep Do We Know?* stands for only one of the three words the film dares not say. The other two are 'Transcendental' and 'Meditation.'*" Posted Sep 8, 2004*	What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004)	34%
2.5/4	"Everything we see seems to spring from the idea of cleavages, and the film itself reflects that -- it's constructed from isolated scenes without flow." Posted Sep 2, 2004	Terra Incognita (2002)	n/a
0/4	"*The truly jaw-dropping thing about Hero* is how it instantaneously turns from 'Crouching Tiger II' to 'Honey I Shot the Dissidents.'*" Posted Aug 25, 2004*	Hero (2004)	95%
2/4	"*I can't think of a better review of Haute Tension* than the one given by the guy sitting behind me in the theater. I quote: 'HAHAHAHA! OH SH! HAHA!'" Posted Aug 24, 2004	High Tension (2005)	41%
