Fresh 8.5/10	Fresh 89%	Up in the Air (2009)	" Jason Reitman knocked this one out of the park, his best film yet." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 8, 2009
Fresh 7.5/10	Rotten 50%	Agora (2009)	" Agora boasts some wonderful production design and presents a fascinating look at the religious feuds of the time, but otherwise struggles with some writing problems." — FirstShowing.net Posted May 18, 2009
Fresh 8/10	Rotten 50%	Antichrist (2009)	" Antichrist is fucked up. In a good way? Or in a bad way? Even I don't know the answer to that question (or maybe that's something you'll decide for yourself), but I can tell you it's one hell of an exhilarating experience watching this." — FirstShowing.net Posted May 18, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 100%	A Prophet (2009)	" I was captivated from start to finish, never at all restless. From Tahar Rahim's stand out performance to Alexandre Desplat's amazing score to St�phane Fontaine's wonderful cinematography, everything about Un Prophete is exceptional." — FirstShowing.net Posted May 17, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 49%	Taking Woodstock (2009)	" Ang Lee's take on this story isn't all rock 'n roll, it's a lot more subtle, but it's still an intriguing story and I still enjoyed watching it play out." — FirstShowing.net Posted May 16, 2009
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 82%	Thirst (2009)	" I know that Chan-wook likes to take things to the extreme, to the point where the audience is either laughing or so shocked they don't know how to respond, but in Thirst he either never went far enough, or went so far it was way too wild for my tastes." — FirstShowing.net Posted May 15, 2009
Fresh 6.5/10	Fresh 66%	What Doesn't Kill You (2008)	" First-time writer/director Brian Goodman pulls together quite a few great elements in the film, from the acting to the score, but it's in dire need of a script rewrite and editing overhaul before it can be called a true gem." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 30, 2008
—	Fresh 71%	American Teen (2008)	Click here to read article — FirstShowing.net Posted Jul 22, 2008
Fresh 6.5/10	Fresh 72%	Sunshine Cleaning (2009)	" The concept was great, but the film was not. Not only is director Christine Jeffs a bit rusty, but first-time writer Megan Holley's script was what really pulled this down even further." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 19, 2008
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 69%	The Wackness (2008)	" *It really reminds me of the days of Clerks* and Reservoir Dogs at Sundance, where the movies are brave and energetic and yet still have that very independent feeling.*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 19, 2008
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 76%	Cloverfield (2008)	" J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves have created a new classic monster movie. It is everything you expect and it's also nothing you expect. This movie feels so real that it's not even a movie, it's an entire incredible experience." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 16, 2008
Fresh 9.5/10	Fresh 94%	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	" If that question were posed to Ben Affleck on whether he should jump ship from acting to directing, the answer is a resounding 'yes!'" — FirstShowing.net Posted Oct 9, 2007
N/A	Fresh 63%	Death at a Funeral (2007)	" Exclusive Interview with Actor Alan Tudyk" — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 29, 2007
N/A	Fresh 63%	Death at a Funeral (2007)	" Interview with Legendary Filmmaker Frank Oz" — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 29, 2007
N/A	Fresh 74%	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	" *TIFF Interview: Assassination of Jesse James's* Writer/Director Andrew Dominik*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Sep 29, 2007
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 74%	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	" This is just one part of what makes it such a brilliant film - you get to explore the story, the characters, and the locations in great depth." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 29, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Fresh 93%	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	" It's hard to consider laughing at such a sad story, but pulling that off as well as it did shows Julian Schnabel's immense capability as a filmmaker." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 13, 2007
Fresh 6.5/10	Fresh 82%	Into the Wild (2007)	" *As much as I really wanted to love the free-spirited Into the Wild, Sean Penn is a terrible director and the story suffers from his inexperience in great direction." — FirstShowing.net* Posted Sep 13, 2007
Rotten 5.5/10	Fresh 60%	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	" Once you wade through those annoying elements, the point-of-view experience was quite thrilling but hardly scary." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 13, 2007
Fresh 9/10	Rotten 40%	YPF (2008)	" The result is a genuinely laugh-out-loud funny film that hits perfectly on so many notes, whether you've personally experienced one of the situations or not." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 12, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 71%	Lust, Caution (2007)	" *Ang Lee is definitely a master of his craft and Lust, Caution* truly shines with his brilliance in a few moments - at least for part of the film, not every last minute of its 157 minutes.*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Sep 12, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Rotten 54%	Across the Universe (2007)	" While nearly each and every song sung on screen was exhilarating, there were scenes and moments that felt unnecessarily added and pointlessly featured." — FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 12, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 68%	Ira & Abby (2007)	" I really enjoyed Ira and Abby and am glad I found this hidden gem. Jennifer Westfeldt wrote the screenplay as well, defining her character that is so incredibly original I'm surprised she hasn't already made it big time with these creations." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jul 9, 2007
Fresh 7.5/10	Fresh 69%	Everything's Gone Green (2007)	" It was a one-man show and Paulo Costanzo delivered it with as much fervor and flavor as an Oscar winning performance." — FirstShowing.net Posted Apr 12, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Fresh 67%	Disturbia (2007)	" The trio of Shia LaBeouf, Aaron Yoo, and Sarah Roemer are a vibrant and wonderful combination on screen, and its these young actors that really make Disturbia such a fantastic movie to kick off this summer." — FirstShowing.net Posted Apr 12, 2007
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 82%	Grindhouse (2007)	" Grindhouse is a cinematic experience unlike anything I've ever seen and it will change the way you look at Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, and the movie theater forever." — FirstShowing.net Posted Apr 6, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Rotten 33%	TMNT (2007)	" A very well made and visually extraordinary, entirely fun, true-to-its-roots film for which writer, director, and Turtles fan Kevin Munroe deserves a lot of credit." — FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 23, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 92%	The Host (2007)	" Bong Joon-ho's vision and storytelling combined with fantastic performances, great CGI, and beautiful imagery deliver one of the most enjoyable films of 2007." — FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Fresh 89%	Zodiac (2007)	" Zodiac has all the makings of a great film, including better filmmaking and technical aspects than most movies, but its unconstrained story and lengthy structure bring about a collapse by the end." — FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 60%	300 (2007)	" 300 is a film that will earn a definitive place in comic book adaptation rankings and still be remembered by many." — FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007
Fresh 9.5/10	Fresh 63%	Death at a Funeral (2007)	" Truly only someone like Frank Oz could pull off such delirious and masterful hilarity surrounding a death and a funeral, and still make you smile in the end." — FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007
N/A	Rotten 25%	Saw III (2006)	" *Exclusive Horror Discussion with SAW 3's* Darren Lynn Bousman and Leigh Whannell*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Feb 16, 2007
N/A	Rotten 21%	Employee of the Month (2006)	" Dax Shepard on Employee of the Month" — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 16, 2007
N/A	Rotten 21%	Employee of the Month (2006)	" Andy Dick chats about Employee of the Month" — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 16, 2007
N/A	Fresh 89%	Waitress (2007)	" Sundance Interview: Nathan Fillion on Waitress" — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 16, 2007
N/A	Rotten 44%	Angel-A (2007)	" Sundance Interview: Luc Besson and Rie Rasmussen of Angel-A" — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 16, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Rotten 26%	Ghost Rider (2007)	" It's an entertaining film but struggles in its story and character development, but the visual effects and badass nature of Ghost Rider help fuel it back into the positive." — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 16, 2007
Fresh 7.5/10	Fresh 62%	Music and Lyrics (2007)	" This romantic comedy isn't a perfect romance film, but it provides just the right amount of energy, entertainment, and shine to be thoroughly enjoyable." — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 14, 2007
Fresh 7.5/10	Rotten 15%	Hannibal Rising (2007)	" It's a fine creation, one of the better of the films out in theaters currently in 2007, and has plenty of strong elements - including Gaspard Ulliel as Hannibal and a riveting and well-defined style." — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 14, 2007
Fresh 5/10	Fresh 79%	Manda Bala (2007)	" *Although certainly well made, the only issue with Manda Bala* is you have to be overly interested in the subject and open to the disturbing content that it uses to tell the story.*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Feb 5, 2007
Rotten 4.5/10	Fresh 62%	Smiley Face (2007)	" The film is just a little too stupid, like Idiocracy, but with even worse filmmaking aspects..." — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 5, 2007
Fresh 5.5/10	Rotten 23%	Slipstream (2007)	" Like David Lynch and sometimes like Terry Gilliam, you just have to respect the artistic values that [Anthony] Hopkins was going for and what he did achieve in the end." — FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 5, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 89%	The Savages (2007)	" Although the subject matter is very sad, director and writer Tamara Jenkins is able to define what is a very comedic and enjoyable film that is not at all depressing." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 30, 2007
Rotten 4/10	Rotten 29%	The Good Night (2007)	" *Unfortunately The Good Night* is vastly underwhelming in its attempt to be profound and a rather poor film from Jake Paltrow.*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 30, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Fresh 74%	Son of Rambow (2008)	" Throw in a classic culture clash of French exchange students at the school and Will and Lee Carter's secretive desire to film their own Rambo film to enter a television competition, and you've got the makings of one most exciting films at Sundance." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 30, 2007
Fresh 6.5/10	Fresh 82%	Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)	" *The biggest issue with Padre Nuestro* is that is consistently depressing and repetitive and ends on a downright hopeless and disheartening note.*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 30, 2007
Fresh 6/10	Fresh 69%	Year of the Dog (2007)	" If you love dogs, then look forward for the opportunity to finally see this film, otherwise it can be easily passed up." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 30, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Rotten 43%	The Go-Getter (2008)	" *On top of the story, The Go-Getter* has an amazingly well-defined gritty visual style, some of the best cinematography in any film at Sundance.*" — FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 30, 2007
Rotten 4.5/10	Rotten 38%	The Ten (2007)	" The Ten seems much more like a Hollywood fun fest of celebrity friends looking to get a cameo rather than a well-made comedic compilation - it's a combination of every bad comedy and cheesy idea in recent Hollywood history." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007
Fresh 7/10	N/A	Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade (2006)	" Chasing Ghosts is chock full of plenty of realistic 80's nostalgia that will give any child-of-the-80's a hard on for arcade gaming all over again." — FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007
