A-	"Eloquently makes the case that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney are the most dextrous actors of their generation." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 2, 2007	The Savages (2007)	90%
B-	"A quirky comic indie with a too-too-clever screenplay, dialogue that seems tailored to the club-kid generation, and a sentimental streak a mile wide." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 2, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
C-	"*If Mulholland Drive* had a prettier, younger, and developmentally-challenged sister, it would be Southland Tales.*" -- Modern Fabulousity* Posted Dec 2, 2007	Southland Tales (2007)	35%
B+	"The real kudos should go to screenwriter Kelly Masterson, who provocatively mixed a crime drama premise into a film exploring the legacy of damage family members impose upon one another." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 2, 2007	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
A	"Like The Crying Game, Pulp Fiction and other films that shift paradigms in mid-stream, there's more happening than meets the eye....Stark and spare, it's often a gasp-inducing, armrest-clutching experience." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Oct 25, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
B+	"*In some scenes, Clayton* is the kick in the pants the whodunit genre desperately needs*" -- Modern Fabulousity* Posted Oct 16, 2007	Michael Clayton (2007)	91%
C	"*Contrary to the lessons we learned in Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man, large bears will not always eat irritating hippie man-children. Damn shame." -- Modern Fabulousity* Posted Oct 7, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
C-	"The thin narrative wobbles like an alcoholic after last call." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Sep 16, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	53%
B+	"A film that nearly screams its desire to please in every frame; in its very design, it demands your attention, has you tapping your toes before the opening montage is through, and frames its soft messages of tolerance so broadly that only Hitler could be" -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Jul 20, 2007	Hairspray (2007)	92%
B	"*Like the films it grandly and unabashedly pays homage to, Sunshine* is serious science fiction for those who prefer to think of space's real possibilities rather than escape into fantasy.*" -- Mixed Reviews* Posted Jul 8, 2007	Sunshine (2007)	75%
B	"In this fourth film, John McClane becomes a retrofitted icon; unadorned and simple, brutally back-to-basic, he's an action hero for an America uncomfortable with the rapid changes of the new millennium." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Jun 26, 2007	Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	80%
A-	"Astonishing...it cleaves through the conventions of the musical form, leaving the raw emotion but junking the showy glitz." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Jun 21, 2007	Once (2007)	97%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Mixed Reviews Posted May 11, 2007	Three Kings (1999)	94%
A-	"Brocka leaps into the small circle of leading queer filmmakers of our time, sculpting an unpredictable romance that is complex, sophisticated and thoughtful." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Apr 12, 2007	Boy Culture (2007)	70%
B	"As a glimpse into the minds of two iconoclastic directors -- both of whom came of age watching the films they now pay homage to -- this retro-electric trip is sheer bliss." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Apr 8, 2007	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
A-	"This unlikely heist movie is really another showcase for rising star Joseph Gordon-Levitt." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Apr 8, 2007	The Lookout (2007)	87%
C+	"A perky style reminiscent of second-rate Jane Austen....a parable of female empowerment and class strife swathed in bustles and British witticisms." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Dec 13, 2006	Miss Potter (2006)	65%
D	"Too adult for children and too simplistic for most adults, it ultimately leaves us with some of the prettiest cinematic pictures of the year. And nothing more." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 13, 2006	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
B+	"[The] finest moments are the small, barely perceptible pinpricks of human cruelty...especially those induced by race, gender, and class." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 10, 2006	The Painted Veil (2006)	75%
A	"A triumph of execution, of a marvelous narrative and iconic characters, of a dazzling score and a winning production design." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 7, 2006	Dreamgirls (2006)	78%
B+	"You have to look back to Malick or Kubrick to find an American filmmaker offering up such a challenging vision to a mainstream audience without apology." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Nov 27, 2006	The Fountain (2006)	51%
B-	"*Whatever else may or may not work, Children of Men* at least has this: a great idea. It is too bad, then, that the movie surrounding the idea is not equally great.*" -- Modern Fabulousity* Posted Nov 14, 2006	Children of Men (2006)	92%
C+	"The move to celluloid has defanged the piece, leaving a shaggy, smartassed and sentimental dramedy in its place." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Nov 6, 2006	The History Boys (2006)	63%
C-	"For Your Consideration feels under-cooked, with easy potshots at an indulgent Hollywood studio system and a pervasively dull atmosphere." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Nov 5, 2006	For Your Consideration (2006)	51%
A-	"Whitaker and McAvoy inhabit their roles so fully that the film around them transforms into a major document of 1970's cultural myopia." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Oct 23, 2006	The Last King of Scotland (2006)	87%
C+	"Even though the visual fireworks of Gondry's mind keep you attentive, his clumsy stutterings about love and honesty are painfully underdeveloped." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Sep 11, 2006	The Science of Sleep (2006)	69%
B+	"If fashion is indeed a special brand of terrorism, then Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), editrix of the fictional magazine Runway, is the Osama bin Laden of Fifth Avenue." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Jun 21, 2006	The Devil Wears Prada (2006)	76%
A	"It has more to say about our collective failure, our rage, our sadness, our faith, our courage, our mistakes, and our regret than a million reviews (including this one)." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted May 1, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
C	"Far too insubstantial to make any interesting use of its social agenda, and the easy answers it finds about prejudice and bigotry strain credibility." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Apr 8, 2006	Kinky Boots (2006)	57%
C	"Suffers under a cloud of nostalgia and emotionality that turns the film's investigation into a fuzzy meditation on existence and memory." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Feb 13, 2006	Unknown White Male (2005)	73%
C-	"In Malick's hands, Pocahontas' story becomes a metaphoric seduction straight out of Nabokov." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 11, 2005	The New World (2005)	60%
C-	"Carries its lumpy theatrical bulk like a rucksack instead of as the dazzling firecracker it is." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 8, 2005	The Producers (2005)	51%
B	"A surprising return to form for the venerated director, recalling (if not matching) his best work from the 80's." -- Modern Fabulousity Posted Dec 1, 2005	Match Point (2005)	77%
A+	"The Marlboro Man has reawakened as an archetype fully realized, brimming with ambivalence and complexity." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Nov 28, 2005	Brokeback Mountain (2005)	86%
C	"*Instead of revealing the inner sanctum of Japan's traditionalist heart, Geisha* wades clumsily through a series of beautiful sets, hackneyed plots and stunning costumes.*" -- Modern Fabulousity* Posted Nov 25, 2005	Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)	35%
A	"*Heart is the core and foundation of Rent, and it is what powers the film past its flaws into a truly transformative experience." -- Modern Fabulousity* Posted Nov 13, 2005	Rent (2005)	48%
C	"Issues of gender differrence are employed only to reinforce less original dilemmas -- family dysfunction, dating woes and (eek) meeting the grandparents." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Oct 30, 2005	Transamerica (2005)	76%
A+	"Rarely has a film exposed the tender, brutal line between love and cruelty so magnificently." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Oct 30, 2005	The Dying Gaul (2005)	48%
B	"Essential cinema not because it answers questions about terrorist ideology, but because it discovers those questions are disturbingly similar to those about ourselves." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Oct 30, 2005	Paradise Now (2005)	88%
A	"A raw and unadorned look at child abuse and its idiosyncratic repercussions." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Oct 30, 2005	Mysterious Skin (2005)	82%
B	"Effortlessly nailing coquettish mannerisms and employing a hilarious come-hither vocal quality, Murphy is magnetizing, fascinating, and eminently likeable." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Oct 30, 2005	Breakfast on Pluto (2005)	55%
B+	"An unusually taut film about misogyny that, for the most part, escapes the clich�s that often bog down the battle of the sexes." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Sep 29, 2005	North Country (2005)	68%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Mixed Reviews Posted Sep 28, 2005	The Adventures of Felix (2001)	69%
B--	"Ultimately has little insight into the experience it chronicles. News flash: growing up gay is rough. Who did not know this already?" -- Mixed Reviews Posted Sep 19, 2005	Dorian Blues (2005)	68%
C-	"Darkly rich in character and mood, provocative in intent...but ultimately foiled by inattention to its own story." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Aug 6, 2005	Three Dancing Slaves (2005)	43%
C-	"It argues, ironically, that pretty people should only end up with pretty people, and the best we can do is hope that the temp with bad hair will find us equally nerd-hot." -- Mixed Reviews Posted Aug 1, 2005	The Baxter (2005)	30%
B	"*Bombastic, whimsical, and delicious, The Brothers Grimm* is really a comic ghost story wrapped in the postmodern folds of Shakespeare In Love.*" -- Mixed Reviews* Posted Aug 1, 2005	The Brothers Grimm (2005)	37%
