	"If it doesn't get your heart pounding with the thrill of cinematic discovery, that's OK%u2014old-style craftsmanship like this is a heartwarming curio in this day and age." Posted May 14, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	n/a
	"Adventure story, love story, history lesson: What's not to like?" Posted May 14, 2008	Mongol (2008)	100%
	"The constant barrage of jokes, in-jokes, snide comments and bizarre plotlines becomes wearying after a while, and eventually the point of the whole enterprise is completely lost." Posted May 14, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	25%
	"Slowly paced but never dull, filled with quiet moments that add up to a thoroughly moving experience." Posted Apr 30, 2008	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	88%
	"A fascinating, thought-provoking film." Posted Apr 30, 2008	Surfwise (2008)	100%
	"Dude%u2014now even a stoner comedy can star minority actors. That may not seem like major cultural progress, but progress it is." Posted Apr 24, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	56%
	"It's got its share of characters, plenty of triumphs, and a Shakespearean tragedy at its core. When it comes to drama, that's a hard combination to beat." Posted Apr 21, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	72%
	"Dark Matter is certainly interesting, and easy to sit through, but not as compelling as it wants to be." Posted Apr 10, 2008	Dark Matter (2008)	34%
	"Bonneville insults its talented leads by casting them in parts they could have--and probably have--done in their sleep." Posted Feb 28, 2008	Bonneville (2006)	43%
	"*A delightful little tale that nonetheless suffers from a distinct sense of d�j� vu." Posted Feb 27, 2008*	Penelope (2008)	53%
	"A powerhouse film that ranks among the very best nonfiction features of the past decade." Posted Feb 11, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	77%
	"Even though Lawrence's film is an honorable attempt to bring more depth and meaning to the tale, ultimately he probably should have opted for more gore, less grief." Posted Dec 13, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	68%
	"A little picture in the best sense of the term, it's filled with small but telling moments and richly drawn characterizations." Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
	"A major work from an extremely talented director. But it is also a flawed, and at times distasteful, piece that will turn off as many viewers as it turns on." Posted Nov 30, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
	"*Told with style and passion, Persepolis* is one of the most unique, and moving, animated films ever made.*" Posted Nov 19, 2007*	Persepolis (2007)	95%
	"A decent shot at a complex work, but ultimately, the book is way more evocative than any film." Posted Nov 13, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	27%
	"Julian Temple has paid proper homage to one of rock's most important artists." Posted Nov 1, 2007	Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007)	87%
	"A terrific film about a complex human being." Posted Oct 4, 2007	Control (2007)	87%
	"In adapting this most un-Coen-like material, the brothers have come up with a winner: an action film with a serious philosophical undertone." Posted Oct 4, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
	"Impeccably shot, cast and directed, this is a truly impressive film." Posted Sep 13, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	74%
	"A visually static film filled with scenes that have obviously been made up on the fly--and most of them aren't terribly interesting." Posted Sep 5, 2007	I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007)	74%
	"About the best you can say about Mangold's work is that it won't kill off the genre. Nor will it help to revive it." Posted Sep 4, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
	"Isn't funny enough to be classified as a comedy, weird enough to attract cult attention, nor spiritual enough to be mind-blowing." Posted Aug 30, 2007	The Nines (2007)	69%
	"Pretentious in the way in which only first love, and bad writing, can be, and all too often sinks into dialogue that is unintentionally funny." Posted Aug 22, 2007	The Hottest State (2006)	35%
	"The way this is told is so wafer-thin, so lacking in specifics, it will ultimately resonate only for salsa fanatics or members of the Latino community." Posted Jul 27, 2007	El Cantante (2007)	23%
	"*What starts out as a fairly worthy attempt to make a 2001* or Solaris for the new millennium winds up being just another overblown genre film.*" Posted Jul 18, 2007*	Sunshine (2007)	75%
	"The film operates in a curious moral vacuum that undercuts its strengths, and makes one wonder just what Herzog was thinking when he was taking on this project." Posted Jul 3, 2007	Rescue Dawn (2007)	90%
	"There's nothing here that couldn't have been done better in an eight-minute sketch on "Saturday Night Live."" Posted Jun 14, 2007	Fido (2007)	67%
	"*Because Robinson can't seem to settle on a distinct tone, Lonely Hearts* dances perilously on the edge of self-parody.*" Posted Apr 12, 2007*	Lonely Hearts (2007)	50%
	"It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do--entertain while playing to everyone's most basic fears. American big-studio filmmaking. Ya gotta love it." Posted Mar 23, 2007	Shooter (2007)	47%
	"*Even though Blessed by Fire* is undoubtedly well-made and sincere in its efforts to shine a light on this farcical episode, it also doesn't add anything to the "war is hell" genre.*" Posted Mar 22, 2007*	Blessed by Fire (2007)	90%
	"Pushes the boundaries of weirdness, yet manages to be a moving look into faith and redemption." Posted Mar 22, 2007	Adam's Apples (2007)	70%
	"Stay wants to be good, creepy fun, but by the middle of the film, I was so uninterested in the plot I became obsessed with McGregor's pants" Posted Mar 1, 2007	Stay (2005)	26%
	"Masterfully directed, acted and shot, this is world cinema at its absolute finest." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Fateless (2006)	92%
	"*Except for copious amounts of male and female nudity, Stoned* has absolutely nothing to recommend it.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	Stoned (2006)	15%
	"The film ranges from wacky and hilarious to downright romantic, yet Berger manages to shift tone smoothly and expertly. He's aided by top performances from his leads." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Torremolinos 73 (2005)	72%
	"An over-the-top shootout replete with foul language, gruesome killings and unnecessary subplots." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)	61%
	"Lacks a beating heart at its core. It's all about its technical aspects and sense of cool, and that's just not good enough." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Renaissance (2006)	43%
	"Actually has a light tone and a few fine comedic moments." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Puffy Chair (2006)	76%
	"Not only as good as any American thriller of the past several years, but boasts a totally unique premise." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Memory of a Killer (2005)	83%
	"Suffers from snail-like pacing, an underwhelming central character and the "shooting fish in a barrel" syndrome: The film's targets are all too obvious." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Art School Confidential (2006)	36%
	"A compelling, beautifully written and impossible-to-put-down book has been turned into a mediocre film that seems self-important and listless." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Freedomland (2005)	23%
	"It's all about look and style, and almost devoid of interest." Posted Mar 1, 2007	She's One of Us (2005)	56%
	"Game for almost anything, Watts displays serious comic chops and is, as always, a delight to watch." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Ellie Parker (2005)	52%
	"Its deadly pacing and almost word-free screenplay make it seem like a very long slog indeed." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Warrior (2005)	83%
	"An acting exercise (and not a very interesting one) disguised as a film." Posted Mar 1, 2007	London (2006)	14%
	"A stunningly offbeat and finely controlled directorial debut." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)	84%
	"Field directs all this with a restraint that sometimes verges on the dry, but there's little doubt the film builds to a shattering climax." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Little Children (2006)	81%
	"*If Lemming* doesn't necessarily work on an intellectual level, it sure does emotionally.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	Lemming (2006)	70%
	"Tells this tale with energy and panache." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Hollywoodland (2006)	69%
