Rotten 5/10	Fresh 67%	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	" It seems like Anderson is still a struggling seventeen year-old, angrily filming his defiance and shouting to the heavens that he 'doesn't have to explain his art to us.'" Posted Oct 28, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 94%	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	" Gone Baby Gone is a film you'd expect from his former partner in crime Matt Damon, but instead, this quirky thriller is a surprise based on Affleck's penchant for high-impact action flicks and his direction shows it." Posted Oct 28, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Fresh 82%	Into the Wild (2007)	" With all that said, Penn's visual style is remarkable. His use of extended metaphor (McCandless is often seen eating an apple and there is a proliferation of dual jet trails from passing planes) is nice and he really captures the beauty of what McCandless" Posted Oct 28, 2007
Fresh 6/10	Fresh 90%	Michael Clayton (2007)	" As a first time director, I have to wonder if this film suffers from a too-many-cooks mentality %u2013 two of its stars and one of its producers are all themselves award-nominated directors." Posted Oct 28, 2007
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 23%	Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)	" *In the end though, all I can really say is that Resident Evil: Extinction* is the cinematic equivalent of blue balls... and that's never good.**" Posted Sep 28, 2007
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 25%	Dragon Wars (2007)	" *Sure the computer graphics are top notch, but in order to make Dragon Wars* rise above the ranks of a Sci-Fi Original, we need better acting, a tighter script and, most importantly, warring dragons!**" Posted Sep 17, 2007
Rotten 6/10	Rotten 51%	The Kingdom (2007)	" It seems like the only real relationship is the one between Fluery and his Saudi counterpart, Colonel Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), but even that sincerity doesn't last long..." Posted Sep 17, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Rotten 26%	Halloween (2007)	" ...Rob Zombie's version eliminates the moralizing over-tones and brings in a back story which tries to define, once and for all, how an American psychopath is made." Posted Sep 12, 2007
Rotten 6/10	Rotten 20%	Death Sentence (2007)	" What started out as a grim, realistic portrayal, devolves, by the end of almost two hours into a film with unintentional laughter and a main character who has become a parody of Charles Bronson in Death Wish..." Posted Sep 12, 2007
Fresh 9.5/10	Fresh 76%	Stardust (2007)	" Overseeing this whole creation is Vaughn, whose sophomore outing as a feature film director is an overwhelming achievement. He leaves few moments for directorial criticism and handles the comedy with a deft hand." Posted Aug 11, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 74%	Sunshine (2007)	" In fact, not only is it quite beautiful to look at, for the first half it's very good. Like a lot of modern films though, it falls apart in the conclusion, mostly, I think because Boyle and Garland don't trust their audience." Posted Jul 31, 2007
Fresh 9/10	Fresh 77%	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	" David Yates respects the characters and story enough to modify it to fit into the framework of what he's trying to accomplish. Working with first time Potter writer Michael Goldenberg, the two have crafted a dark, exciting tale to entertain anyone watchin" Posted Jul 24, 2007
Fresh 10/10	Fresh 96%	Ratatouille (2007)	" This film has heart, charm, darkness, love, wit, and just a soupcon of silliness... and all of this without the benefit of any actual actors on screen." Posted Jul 24, 2007
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 39%	No Reservations (2007)	" Everything that happens to the characters happens out of plot necessity, not out of any type of organic story-telling." Posted Jul 24, 2007
Fresh 8.5/10	Rotten 45%	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	" As a sequel, it was better than the second installment in the series (something which doesn't often happen) and as a film in and of itself, it works on a number of levels." Posted Jun 14, 2007
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 54%	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	" By the end of the film you realize that's what it's supposed to be about but the ride to the conclusion leaves you just a little bit befuddled." Posted Jun 14, 2007
Fresh 5.5/10	Rotten 49%	Nancy Drew (2007)	" Emma Roberts is delightful as the girl detective. She is fresh and open, without the cynicism often found in other actresses her age." Posted Jun 14, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 72%	28 Weeks Later (2007)	" When all is said and done, though, Fresnadillo and his co-writers commit the cardinal sin - underestimating the suspension of disbelief of their teen audience, let alone the adults." Posted May 11, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 62%	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	" Had he trusted himself, and his audience, [Sam] Raimi could have created a film which held the essence of the comic book and still been a weighty and intelligent cinematic spectacle." Posted May 11, 2007
Fresh 7.5/10	Rotten 29%	Lucky You (2007)	" But now that we're just settling into the romantic rhythm, Hanson decides he needs to ratchet up the pressure and leads us through every bad beat, fatal flop and ridiculous river of that final table." Posted May 11, 2007
Fresh 7.5/10	Rotten 20%	The Invisible (2007)	" Had the writers, Mick Davis and Christine Roum, taken more time to fill in the plot holes and had Goyer taken a more active role in the script development, this could have been a classic film..." Posted May 11, 2007
Fresh 7.5/10	Fresh 67%	Disturbia (2007)	" *LaBeouf is charming as Kale and invests him with all the rashness and determination of a teenager who knows* his next door neighbor is a killer...**" Posted Apr 15, 2007
Fresh 6/10	Rotten 12%	Slow Burn (2007)	" Hired primarily for her looks and skin tone, Blalock has a hard time holding her own against heavyweights like Liotta, Taye Diggs, Chiwetel Ejiofor. Mekhi Phifer and a surprisingly facile LL Cool J..." Posted Apr 15, 2007
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 11%	Perfect Stranger (2007)	" *Sure, we have liars and cheats, sexual deviants and yes, even a cold-blooded killer, but in the end, Perfect Stranger* just breaks the one rule of thrillers%u2026 it's not thrilling.**" Posted Apr 12, 2007
Fresh 7/10	Fresh 82%	Grindhouse (2007)	" *In the end Death Proof* is a Tarantino film, and a fun one, but no more than that.**" Posted Apr 11, 2007
Fresh 8/10	Fresh 85%	The Hoax (2007)	" Hallstrom uses this uncertainty to full advantage, revealing all the clues you need so that what could easily have become an unsatisfying thriller instead rises to the level of psychological passion play..." Posted Apr 10, 2007
