Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
5/10 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.'" — FirstShowing.net
Posted Oct 28, 2007
5/10 22% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Sep 28, 2007
5/10 27% Dragon Wars (D-War) (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!" — FirstShowing.net
Posted Sep 17, 2007
5/10 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Apr 12, 2007
5.5/10 50% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Jun 14, 2007
6/10 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Oct 28, 2007
6/10 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..." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Sep 17, 2007
6/10 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..." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Sep 12, 2007
6/10 41% No Reservations (2007) " Everything that happens to the characters happens out of plot necessity, not out of any type of organic story-telling." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Jul 24, 2007
6/10 53% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Jun 14, 2007
6/10 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..." — FirstShowing.net

7/10 24% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Sep 12, 2007
7/10 75% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Jul 31, 2007
7/10 71% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted May 11, 2007
7/10 63% 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted May 11, 2007
7/10 83% Grindhouse (2007) " In the end Death Proof is a Tarantino film, and a fun one, but no more than that." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Apr 11, 2007
7.5/10 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted May 11, 2007
7.5/10 21% 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..." — FirstShowing.net
Posted May 11, 2007

Posted Apr 15, 2007
8/10 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Oct 28, 2007
8/10 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..." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Apr 10, 2007
8.5/10 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" — FirstShowing.net
Posted Oct 28, 2007
8.5/10 45% Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Jun 14, 2007
9/10 78% 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" — FirstShowing.net
Posted Jul 24, 2007
9.5/10 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." — FirstShowing.net
Posted Aug 11, 2007
10/10 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." — FirstShowing.net
