86% Inception (2010) " What is the point of having an imagination, I ask you, if the only thing that can be imagined is mayhem, perpetrated without regard for even the appearance of human life?" — Nation
Posted Jan 3, 2011

85% Meek's Cutoff (2011) " You might be tempted to call Meek's Cutoff an exercise in feminist, multiculturalist piety if these two latter characters had any clear idea of what they were doing, or an overriding motive other than self-preservation; but they don't, and you won't." — Nation
Posted Jan 3, 2011
90% Lebanon (Levanon) (2010) " It's a strong film, complex in many ways, and seems to me to come from a genuinely stricken conscience. But in its formal probity, Lebanon turns into a moral dodge." — Nation
Posted Jan 3, 2011

92% Shakespeare Behind Bars (2005) Nation
Posted Oct 18, 2008

Posted Sep 15, 2007
88% 3:10 to Yuma (2007) " The studiousness, or maybe affectation, that has informed Mangold's visual style has now been applied to the reproduction of classic Western moviemaking." — Nation
Posted Sep 15, 2007
79% The Monastery: Mr. Vig and the Nun (2006) " A sly, quiet documentary." — Nation
