	"The filmmaker tries to keep the energy up and the audience engaged by incorporating stylistic touches from the Michael Bay 101 crib sheet, whirling the camera around characters in crisis and lacing scenes with hack guitar rock." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Oct 5, 2007	Trade (2007)	27%
1/4	"*[Pettis] overplays cute to the point where you wish the Rock would practice one of his wrestling moves on her and ship her off to Kid Nation." -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
2/4	"Part fairy tale, part college comedy, totally unoriginal and a tad offensive, Sydney White stars Amanda Bynes as a new student who starts a rebellion against the school's oppressive Greek establishment." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Sep 21, 2007	Sydney White (2007)	37%
3/4	"The director seems to be welcoming controversy, however, pushing buttons to evoke strong responses and stimulate discussion." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Sep 7, 2007	The Bubble (2007)	55%
1.5/4	"Better suited to 10 minutes of television than 90 minutes of cinema." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Sep 7, 2007	The Brothers Solomon (2007)	16%
1/4	"*Revamping the influential 1978 shocker Halloween* for a new generation of viewers, director Rob Zombie offers a film with more sex, more violence, no humor and zero scares.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Sep 4, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
C+	"The shtick grows a bit repetitive, so by the end of the story you may be checking the time rather than rooting for Randy." -- Oregonian Posted Aug 31, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
1.5/4	"*If only the world were a more peaceful place, we wouldn't have to sit through movies like Death Sentence." -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Aug 31, 2007	Death Sentence (2007)	17%
2.5/4	"*Something of a surprise, Balls of Fury* serves up sports thrills and a good amount of laughter...*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Aug 29, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
2.5/4	"The film is best appreciated as a meditation on celebrity psychology." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Aug 24, 2007	The Hottest State (2006)	35%
2.5/4	"Illegal Tender isn't quite the mess you expect this time of year, a film that achieves a certain level of originality by reversing gender roles." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Aug 24, 2007	Illegal Tender (2007)	13%
2/4	"A misguided film that veers between extremes in sentimentality and misanthropy." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Aug 24, 2007	The Nanny Diaries (2007)	34%
1.5/4	"*For a silly kids movie about an accident-prone man on a trip to the beach, Mr. Bean's Holiday* is actually quite mean-spirited and pretentious.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Aug 24, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
1/4	"*Even though the film clocks under two hours, it seems longer than a Lord of the Rings* marathon played on slow motion.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Aug 20, 2007	The Last Legion (2007)	17%
2.5/4	"...there are some classic scenes and the cast is hilarious." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Aug 16, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
0.5/4	"On the fright scale, this pack of werewolves ranks below a basket of puppies." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Aug 13, 2007	Skinwalkers (2007)	15%
2/4	"The thing the film lacks -- besides originality -- is a character arc that keeps the audience interested." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Aug 10, 2007	Rocket Science (2007)	84%

1.5/4	"*Director Leon Ichaso (Piñero) uses every trick in the hack biopic book, including flashback stock footage and montages of newspaper headlines flying toward the camera." -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Aug 2, 2007	El Cantante (2007)	24%
0/4	"It's sad to see the once-promising actress killing her career, between her self-destructive behavior behind the scenes and her poor judgment selecting scripts." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jul 27, 2007	I Know Who Killed Me (2007)	8%
3/4	"A period piece enlivened with slapstick and mischievous wit." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jul 27, 2007	Moliere (2007)	70%
	"The picture delivers 90 minutes of gay caricatures, along with a barrage of fat jokes, and culminates by lecturing the audience about how wrong it is to mock those who are different." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jul 18, 2007	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	13%
	"*More a reinvention than a retread, Hairspray* is a pleasant surprise, a breath of fresh, whimsical air in a season that's been dominated by franchise entertainment.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Jul 18, 2007	Hairspray (2007)	91%
2.5/4	"Buscemi creates an intriguing, if contrived, drama about the battle of the sexes." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jul 13, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
3/4	"*It's not exactly light summer entertainment. With its emphasis on paranoia and perversion, Joshua* is closer in spirit to fringe films like Eraserhead than mainstream horror movies like The Omen.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Jul 6, 2007	Joshua (2007)	62%
2.5/4	"*A dizzying summer adventure, Transformers* is a film to worship for its set pieces and chastise for its inscrutable storytelling.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Jul 2, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
2/4	"Great cast, mediocre writing." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 29, 2007	Evening (2007)	27%
2.5/4	"*There's no point in whining that Die Hard* is mindless. That's like complaining about the sound of people eating popcorn in the theater.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Jun 26, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
2/4	"Why give Moore a free pass just because you support his ideologies? In the end, the real loyalty we owe is to truth." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 22, 2007	Sicko (2007)	93%
2/4	"There's ghoulish fun and Hichcockian suspense until the film hits a narrative wall around the 60-minute mark." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 22, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
2.5/4	"*The highlights of Evan Almighty* aren't the supernatural moments but the scenes in which Carell grows comically flustered with his situation.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted Jun 22, 2007	Evan Almighty (2007)	23%
2.5/4	"Fido does offer a good number of laughs, along with a healthy serving of gore to satisfy horror fans." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 15, 2007	Fido (2007)	68%
	"Compared with its predecessor, the new movie contains less silliness to offend purists. At the same time, there isn't much to thrill anyone, either." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 15, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
3/4	"It's a playful, surrealistic antidote to standard genre entertainment." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 8, 2007	Day Watch (2007)	64%
2.5/4	"It's something of an accomplishment to stage deaths so disgusting, the main reaction is nervous laughter." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 8, 2007	Hostel: Part II (2007)	45%
3/4	"The jaunty sports story contains colorful characters, witty wisecracks and kinetic surf scenes. It's refreshing to see an animated family film that doesn't look like it was made on autopilot." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Jun 8, 2007	Surf's Up (2007)	78%
2.5/4	"Bug is a twisted, visceral film with an uncompromising sense of nihilism." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 25, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
3.5/4	"Elegantly capturing the alchemy of songwriting -- not to mention the alchemy of fleeting romance -- it's a one-of-a-kind movie to enthrall musicians and listeners alike." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 25, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
1.5	"*Even longer and less coherent [than Dead Man's Chest]. Consider it a companion piece to the similarly indulgent Spider-Man 3." -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted May 24, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
3/4	"The irony is thick, and the deaths are brutal, as horror and humor are spliced with social commentary. The British film sends up scary movies while building characters whose fates matter to the audience." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 22, 2007	Severance (2007)	65%
2.5/4	"Once you get beyond the surface clich�s, there's truth and sincerity in the dialogue and performances." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 18, 2007	Brooklyn Rules (2007)	49%
3/4	"Wendell Baker isn't perfect. The slacker humor grows cloying at times. Still, there's an undeniable charm to the Texas tale as it celebrates nonconformity and redemption." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 18, 2007	The Wendell Baker Story (2007)	44%
1/4	"*The best scenes in Barbershop* featured incisive discussions of current events. Here, the closest brush with topicality is a reference to Eddie Griffin.*" -- Newark Star-Ledger* Posted May 11, 2007	The Salon (2005)	13%
2/4	"The Ex is shrill when it means to be irreverent. It's frustrating to see the lead performers squandering their collective talent in a movie that fails to match the fun and pathos of their TV work." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 11, 2007	The Ex (2007)	19%
3/4	"Heartfelt and intelligent, with a pinch of whimsy." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 10, 2007	Waitress (2007)	89%
2/4	"It's a weak hand from the filmmaker; not a colossal failure, just a dreary mediocrity." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 4, 2007	Lucky You (2007)	28%
2.5/4	"Civic Duty sends you home depressed, but at least it makes you think. It's a breed of film that's rare to find on the summer movie slate." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted May 4, 2007	Civic Duty (2007)	56%
0.5/4	"Laugh proof and choreographically blah." -- Newark Star-Ledger Posted Apr 30, 2007	Kickin' It Old Skool (2007)	3%
