3/5
     Around the Bend (2004)      "...in many ways the softer scenes have more punch to them than any of the emotional confrontations or dramatic revelations"       Uri Lessing  
  
1/5
     Around the World in 80 Days (2004)      "It’s ironic that this film is less about traveling and more about beating the crap out of people all over the world."       Uri Lessing

4/5
     The Bourne Supremacy (2004)      "At times, it’s a bit too much like watching the Zapruder film, but... it keeps the audience sharp by forcing them to search for clues and stay focused on the action."       Uri Lessing

0/5

1/5
     The Forgotten (2004)      "Not since Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has there been such a stupid omnipotent force."       Uri Lessing  
  
4/5
     Friday Night Lights (2004)      "Friday Night Lights is a film about football, but it shares more in common with films from the horror genre than with its predecessors."       Uri Lessing  
  
5/5
     Garden State (2004)      "The film manages to be delightfully offbeat while simultaneously providing weight and depth."       Uri Lessing  
  
3/5
     Garfield the Movie (2004)      "The strongest messages for adults are that we should purchase and consume...Pepperidge Farm Goldfish and dash off to Petco for all of our kitty’s litter and chow needs."       Uri Lessing

3/5
     I, Robot (2004)      "If you are looking for proof that Hollywood has completely run out of ideas, check out I, Robot."       Uri Lessing  
  
4/5
     The Incredibles (2004)      "...the real secret to Pixar’s greatness lies not in the animation, but in their wonderful choice of stories that appeal to both children and parents."       Uri Lessing  
  
2/5
     Ladder 49 (2004)      "...has about the same amount of depth as an article from 'Boy’s Life.'"       Uri Lessing  
  
4/5
     Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)      "...recognizes that it’s okay to present scariness, gloominess and sadness, as long as you present strong, pure hearted children whose inherent cleverness cuts through it all."       Uri Lessing  
  
5/5
     Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)      "...targets...religious zealots who take Jesus’ simple messages of peace and love and use them...as cries for war and persecution."       Uri Lessing  
  
0/5
     The Notebook (2004)      "... one gets the sense that director Nick Cassevetes and writer Jan Sardi would spray the audience with teargas if they could."       Uri Lessing  
  
3/5
     Ocean's Twelve (2004)      "...the only way [Bernie Mac and Eddie Izzard's] talent could have been less showcased is if they had been assigned to carpentry duty."       Uri Lessing  
  
3/5
     Saw (2004)      " If the film had contained more scenes of intensity and less action, gore, twists and shocks, maybe it could have been a classic of the genre."       Uri Lessing  
  
4/5
     Shaolin Soccer (2002)      "...as logical and giddy as a second grade classroom."       Uri Lessing  
  
5/5

4/5
     Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)      "...takes the audience to the Shangra La of Lost Horizons, the undersea world of... 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and straight to King Kong’s Skull Island."       Uri Lessing  
  
2/5
     Sleepover (2004)      "How many 14-year-old girls do you know who would set up a blind date with a grown-up over the Internet? (Yeah, I found this creepy too.)"       Uri Lessing  
  
2/5
     The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004)      "...asks the audience to endure three times as much frenetic potty humor, repetitive jokes and screechy voice acting as they are used to. The result is exhausting. "       Uri Lessing  
  
3/5
     Team America: World Police (2004)      "So what if the political satire is as thin as wax paper?...In the end, the gleeful action, absurd silliness and crude pleasures outweigh the film’s weaknesses."       Uri Lessing

2/5
     Wimbledon (2004)      "Do we really need to see another film where a gorgeous, talented and desired American woman is whisked away by a stammering insecure British man with an inner monologue?"       Uri Lessing  
  
0/5
     Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (2004)      "Yu-Gi-Oh translates from the Japanese into 'Intense migraine in elders.'"       Uri Lessing
