Chaplin (1992)61%
/
 
"A raunchy between-the-sheets peak at modern-day black sexuality...should woo urban audiences to the theater." -- Hollywood Reporter

A Good Day to be Black and Sexy (2008)n/a
/

Posted Apr 21, 2007
 
Year of the Dog (2007)69%
/

"Chapter 27 is a smart attempt to distill the twisted psychology and motivation of Mark David Chapman, which we've all superficially gleaned through mass-media reports and intermittent updates on Chapman's incarceration." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 30, 2007
 
Chapter 27 (2008)20%
/
 
"A brilliant house-of-horror tale with Hitchcockean flair." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 27, 2007
 
Joshua (2007)62%
/
 
"Son of Rambow is pumped up with all the right kids' ingredients: slapstick, fantasy, alienation and severe adult authority figures. But screenwriter and director Garth Jennings has slammed them all together with little cohesion." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
Son of Rambow (2008)75%
/
 
"A masterful distillation of explosive elements: science, art, psychology and humanity." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 26, 2007

Resurrecting the Champ (2007)61%

Posted Jan 21, 2007
 
Year of the Dog (2007)69%
/
 
"While often hard to watch because of its unflinching portrayal of the ugliness that love can take, Snow Angels succeeds because of the depth of its well-drawn characters." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 20, 2007
 
Snow Angels (2008)67%
/
 
"A touching and unlikely romance that is no gloss but all heart and brains." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 20, 2007
 
Expired (2008)60%
/
 
"We can hear the French barking "auteur" already... Beneath the profanely preposterous premise, Stay is a rather sweet and conventional love story that perambulates around the notions of trust and acceptance." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 1, 2006
 
Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)63%
/
 
"This well-made film illuminates the power of a charismatic personality in rousing the multitudes." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 15, 2006
 
Darshan - the Embrace (2006)50%
/
 
"In this affectionate glimpse into those countercultural times, filmmaker Stuart Samuels has compiled an engaging distillation of those nocturnal filmic emissions." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 3, 2006
 
Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream (2007)88%
/
 
"Much brainier than a John Waters opus, Avida eructs with deadpan hilarity through a series of nonsequential comic set pieces." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 26, 2006
 
Avida (2008)n/a
/
 
"Scene after scene of verbose fiddle-faddle: Characters orate at each other, while sitting in cars, sitting at dining tables, sitting in living rooms, sitting at office desks. The film might be better titled The Big Sit." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 26, 2006
 
A Scanner Darkly (2006)67%
/
 
"A misguided blasphemy of "Bicycle Thief," downloaded through film-noir affectations, this Competition Entrant is morally specious and narratively nonsensical." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 25, 2006
 
The Right of the Weakest (2006)67%
/
 
"Predictable and narratively uninspired, this Un Certain Regard entrant is unlikely to generate interest beyond its homeland." -- Hollywood Reporter
Posted May 25, 2006
 
Luxury Car (2006)n/a
