Apocalypto (2006) |
|
"About the best that can be said for this overblown fiasco from Mel Gibson is that at least it isn't anti-Semitic." | |

Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
|

The Perfect Holiday (2007) |
|
"With the humor and sidebars so underwhelming, all that's left to hold your attention is the transparent central love story which makes you wait 90 minutes for a happily-ever-after ending you saw coming practically from the opening credits." | |

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) |

Rain |
|
"Star Brooklyn Sudano, who in real life is diva Donna Summer's daughter, does earn high marks for her overall charm, diction, magnetism, and singing ability, proving the old maxim that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." | |

|
"An eye-opening expose' on the evils of slavery which forced the U.S. for the first time to face that long-suppressed aspect of its legacy." | |

This Christmas (2007) |
|
"For some reason, writer/director Preston Whitmore opted to lay on the violence, slapstick and sexuality more heavily than one would expect to find in a holiday film, developments which tend to mar what was ostensibly designed as a wholesome family flick." | |

Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North (2008) |
|
"An eye-opening caravan undertaken by some refreshingly honest Caucasians willing to take an unblinking look at their slave legacy and the devastation left in its wake." | |

Zodiac (2007) |
|
"Represents a bit of a departure of sorts for David Fincher, since this chilling crime saga is surprisingly understated in tone in comparison to some of his earlier, highly-stylized productions." | |
