	"Miniucchi's screenplay is an unwieldy blend of pathos and unsettling moments, which become increasingly uninteresting as the film trudges to a dreary close." Posted Jun 23, 2008	Expired (2008)	60%
	"...the film's inability to put a new spin on well-covered material... means the definitive work about this fascinating figure is yet to come." Posted Jun 23, 2008	Trumbo (2008)	69%
	"Hopefully, future film classes will use this picture as template for how not to make a movie." Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Go-Getter (2008)	40%
	"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)	33%
	"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)	44%
	"*A delightful little tale that nonetheless suffers from a distinct sense of d�j� vu." Posted Feb 27, 2008*	Penelope (2008)	53%
	"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)	69%
	"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%
	"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)	68%
	"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%
	"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%
	"*Except for copious amounts of male and female nudity, Stoned* has absolutely nothing to recommend it.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	Stoned (2006)	15%
	"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%
	"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%
	"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%
	"One of the more violent films in recent memory. But maybe the violence serves a purpose-it keeps your mind off the inanities of the plot." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Kingdom of Heaven (2005)	39%
	"Neither a masterpiece nor a failure, it will probably appeal mostly to those with knowledge of its death and miraculous resurrection." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005)	28%
	"Director Mary Harron and her co-screenwriter Guinevere Turner seem seriously conflicted about the tone of their film." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	55%
	"Excessive violence, hysterical directorial overkill and a cast of mostly glamorous non-actors make this relatively short film seem much longer than it really is." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Mindhunters (2005)	26%
	"By playing up the hoopla and glitz, the filmmakers have created a vacuum at its center." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Year of the Yao (2005)	66%
	"It's not that ethnic and cultural stereotyping can't be funny -- Lord knows the laugh industry would be nothing without them -- it's just that movies like this one keep punching the same buttons over and over again." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)	72%
	"*Isn't a mess, but it's sure no competition for Winchester 73, Once Upon a Time in the West* or even Kill Bill, films in which payback really is a bitch.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	Dead Man's Shoes (2006)	55%
	"Has a "been there, done that" feel, as if writer/co-producer Besson has returned to this concept one time too many." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Unleashed (2005)	66%
	"Wants to be a horror story of sorts, but winds up being tedious and over-indulgent." Posted Jan 11, 2007	Alpha Dog (2007)	55%
	"After a while, the gaggle of idiots, creeps and stuffed shirts Borat comes in contact with becomes repetitive." Posted Dec 1, 2006	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	91%
	"Formulaic to the max, it's never as funny nor as insightful as it wants to be." Posted Oct 6, 2005	The Thing About My Folks (2005)	43%
	"*Despite the professionalism of its stars, Constantine* is another rip-off of The Matrix, The Omen and a hundred other films, gussied up with 21st-century effects and attitude. It's a mess.*" Posted Mar 24, 2005*	Constantine (2005)	45%
	"It's like watching a movie about Bonnie and Clyde that fails to mention the Depression." Posted Dec 8, 2004	Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst (2004)	87%
	"It wants to be a Southern Gothic for the new millennium, but plays more like a refried retread." Posted Oct 19, 2004	Undertow (2004)	56%
	"We've seen this all before. And it ain't interesting." Posted Sep 18, 2004	Silver City (2004)	47%
	"The kind of picture where instead of in-depth characterization, each person is given one, maybe two, idiosyncrasies." Posted Sep 18, 2004	Around the Bend (2004)	29%
	"It's almost as if a propaganda film made by Planned Parenthood had resurfaced after decades in storage. Timely, it's not." Posted Sep 18, 2004	Vera Drake (2004)	92%
	"*Merhige, whose last film was the clever and creepy Shadow of the Vampire, seems to have succumbed to Big Picture Disease here." Posted Aug 28, 2004*	Suspect Zero (2004)	17%
	"Unwieldy porridge of effects and idiocy." Posted Aug 8, 2004	Chronicles of Riddick (2004)	29%
	"Shows a talented filmmaker and brilliant pop-culture mind wrestling with his often distasteful sexual predilections." Posted Aug 8, 2004	Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)	85%
	"A film whose pacing gives new meaning to the term 'sluggish,' and actually makes the charismatic Owen seem boring." Posted Aug 8, 2004	I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)	42%
	"Takes potentially interesting material and turns it into sleazy genre trash." Posted Aug 8, 2004	Godsend (2004)	4%
	"*Featuring an incomprehensible plot and some of the grossest scenes in recent memory, Gozu* is nothing if not original. Whether anyone will care is another matter entirely.*" Posted Aug 8, 2004*	Gozu (2004)	72%
