"Doomsday isn't quite memorable or enthralling enough."

"This Christmas adheres to this formula and impressively stays away from the cheese and the sap that ordinarily accompany holiday pictures."

3.5/5
 
"It's almost completely satisfying."

"Perry’s film made me laugh frequently and whole-heartedly; more so than any theatrically released American film has in many months."

3/5
 
"Putting an animal’s face to global warming is conceptually smart and would’ve been more effective if it were applied to other species in other climate zones too."
Posted Oct 16, 2007
 
Arctic Tale (2007)62%
/
4/5
 
"Ang Lee’s directing is so engrossing that one abandons the impulse to rationalize and finds oneself completely swept up in the consciousness of the story."
Posted Oct 16, 2007
 
Lust, Caution (2007)70%
/
3/5
 
"An amusing and timely distraction."
Posted Oct 6, 2007
 
The Game Plan (2007)27%
/
4/5
 
"While maintaining the perspective of an anthropological, geological case study on a piece of land in southern California, Metzler and Springer’s documentary illustrates the multifaceted nature of man’s interaction with his environment."

/
3/5
 
"Admittedly, there were specific scenes that I felt were wonderfully performed and photographed...but I felt no overwhelming emotions."

"After approximately fifteen minutes into the film, however, I forgot about the accent and realized that Anne’s exuberance and dramatic range are fitting for this portrayal of the celebrated literary figure."

"As a fan of Claire Danes, Patrick Wilson, and Hungarian cinematographers and directors, I went into Evening with much enthusiasm. I left the theatre feeling anything but enthused."

"A modern, kid-friendly action oriented romp."
Posted Jun 19, 2007
 
Nancy Drew (2007)49%
/
3/5
 
"The film is superficially a necklace of disparate gags, a dozen comedic scenes organized and tied together via a character or relationship study. A closer look reveals that it achieves more than ninety minutes of sufficiently entertaining laughs."
Posted May 15, 2007
 
The Ex (2007)19%
/
3.5/5
 
"When The Namesake ends, one feels as though one has lived with the characters instead of just watching them."
Posted May 1, 2007
 
The Namesake (2007)84%
/
3/5
 
"Were it not for Brody’s impeccable line delivery and charming demeanor, the film would be unpleasant to watch primarily because of alternating scenes of deadpan hilarity and emotionally draining character backstory."
Posted Apr 24, 2007
 
In the Land of Women (2007)43%
/
2.5/5
 
"As much as you’d like the characters to become better people and beat Jigsaw’s game, there is also a strong desire simply to watch violent spectacle. And somehow, there just isn’t enough of the latter."
Posted Oct 31, 2006
 
Saw III (2006)27%

"Most should be moved by the emotional and psychological insights into what it is like to be Marie Antoinette."

"In addition to a very engaging script, Forrest Whitaker and James McAvoy amazingly express the tension and the camaraderie shared by Amin and Garrigan."

The Last King of Scotland (2006)87%

3.5/5
 
"An original voice, heralding the idea that teachers and students could learn valuable lessons from each other as people."
Posted Oct 10, 2006
 
Half Nelson (2006)91%
/
1/5
 
"You are likely to feel excluded from the experience the characters are having because none of their fear is vicariously transposed onto you."

"We’re not in the 90s anymore."

Basic Instinct 2 (2006)7%

3/5
 
"One cannot ignore or discount that Robinson is not only trying to tell a conventional tale unconventionally, but he is also attempting to put Atlanta on the map of cinematic city characters."
Posted Apr 11, 2006
 
ATL (2006)63%
/
2/5
 
"Milla Jovovich may look hot in spandex and bangs, but if you want rapidly-cut, slow-motioned-for-emphasis spectacle AND story, take in some ESPN highlights or any production by NFL Films. At least you would be getting your money’s worth."
Posted Mar 25, 2006
 
Ultraviolet (2006)8%
/
2.5/5
 
"Every now and then, I’d like to watch a movie that could give me thrills, an engaging story, and not force me to think actively about ideology in order to enjoy it."
Posted Feb 22, 2006
 
Seven Swords (2005)23%
/
2.5/5
 
"Controversial for its unnecessary, unjustified exploitation of gore, Roth’s film implicates the audience in its perversity."
Posted Jan 10, 2006
 
Hostel (2006)58%

"A Tout de Suite contains a sufficient amount of action and suspense but it’s also quite the literary picture."

"[The film] examines how this unstable social climate strains the incipient friendship between two boys."

Machuca (2005)89%
/
2.5/5
 
"However unfortunate or sad it is that people enjoy experiencing mediocre quality cinema, if you have nothing more stimulating to do on a Friday night, Underclassman could provide the entertainment -- not enlightenment -- you seek."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Underclassman (2005)8%
/
2.5/5
 
"When a film is more conducive to a scholarly dissection than a consumerist examination, the film is incredibly clever, pragmatic, or pretentious. In the case of Domino, it's all of the above."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Domino (2005)18%

"It’s about family."

"The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants is ideal for a mother-daughter or best-friends-forever cinema excursion, but it may not be the most satisfying two hours for the rest of the movie-going public."

"The film lives up to its hype."

Love Actually (2003)64%
/
3.5/5
 
"A World Without Thieves is less comedic than Feng’s 2001 film Big Shot’s Funeral, but still carries the same kind of examination of human heart and soul (or lack thereof)."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
A World Without Thieves (2004)n/a
/
3/5
 
"Has neither hero nor villain, only humans. Beyond imperfect, they are complicated thinkers, lovers, dreamers, and performers."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
The Dying Gaul (2005)48%

3.5/5
 
"A humorous, economically revealing documentary."
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Mardi Gras: Made in China (2005)68%
/
3.5/5
 
"If Metzler and Springer were on path to becoming environmentalists and their documentary was their thesis, they’d get an A."
Posted Nov 30, 2005
 
Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2007)95%
/
2.5/5
 
"I wouldn’t even encourage movie-goers who adore this type of film to give it a try because you’d be much better off renting anything from the action section of your favorite video store."
Posted Sep 18, 2005
 
The Cave (2005)13%

Underclassman (2005)8%

"Audiard tosses you in the midst of Thomas's story confident that you can keep yourself from sinking. Fortunately for both the director and you, not only do you float but you find yourself in a film worth swimming."
Posted Jul 7, 2005
 
The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005)84%
/
4/5
 
"A reminder that our soldiers are people not unlike yourself. You can think what you want to about the war, but you have to respect that they put their lives on the line."
Posted Jul 5, 2005
 
Occupation: Dreamland (2005)76%

3.5/5
 
"McGowan’s film isn’t just about following this boy’s private quest to accomplish the impossible. It is also about how he affects the other characters in the film."
