4.5/5	"Persepolis is very different and bold, beautiful and moving." Posted Mar 29, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	95%
3.5/5	"Vantage Point takes a pretty high concept, dribbles a bunch of red herrings all over it, and makes things go boom, reaping better yields than the average TV show." Posted Mar 29, 2008	Vantage Point (2008)	36%
4.5/5	"We get a rare look at a long personal journey through relationships (including his relationship to politics) from the point of view of the man, and a new appreciation of the silver lining on even the saddest cloud." Posted Mar 29, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
3/5	"After they blow a bunny to smithereens (aiming straight through a plot hole), I knew all bets were off." Posted Mar 29, 2008	Doomsday (2008)	41%
4.5/5	"Besides managing to be a statement on racism, a parody of a documentary, and an enjoyable character conflict between two egotistical directors, it's also a straight up zombie comedy!" Posted Mar 29, 2008	American Zombie (2008)	67%
1/5	"Keith Compton has a lot asked of him in this movie, required by the script and/or the director to make his consuming rage varied and interesting for 96 minutes. Soon, however, the intensity gets exhausting and then tedious, until the anticlimax." Posted Feb 19, 2008	Farewell Darkness (2008)	n/a
4.5/5	"Chris' relationship with the machine of expectations and responsibilities is tried by Keener and Holbrook in particular, but he sticks to his guns and leaves a wake of bittersweet gaps behind him."" Posted Feb 16, 2008	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
4/5	"Call me hokey if you want. I just would have liked more heart in there somewhere. But the acting is superb and it's worth seeing just for that. By no means watch this over the holidays but pursue its scholarly merit on safe ground." Posted Feb 16, 2008	The Savages (2007)	90%
4.5/5	"Criminally overlooked, this is a great movie, about which I could find no complaint or overt flaw except feeling that Taylor (whom I do love) was mostly a distraction. See it if you can." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
4.5/5	"Musical-haters don't have to endure glorious kicklines (Hairspray) and opera lovers can focus on the leads' close-ups. If someone sees the movie and then goes to see a stage production, the enormity of this play will blow their brains open." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
3.5/5	"This movie is not bad, I just couldn't connect with it. The Namesake is poignant (I cried once) and spans many years with grace and great acting, but it may be beyond my ken to truly appreciate as it deserves." Posted Feb 16, 2008	The Namesake (2007)	85%
2/5	"Read this review, skip this movie, and instead read the excellent books. Poor Dakota Blue Fanning is the perfect Lyra in a terrible adaptation." Posted Feb 16, 2008	The Golden Compass (2007)	42%
4/5	"The exacting demands of filmgoing audiences have finally drawn out the heart of this book. (Disclosure: I have not read it, but now am willing to. For the antidote to this impulse, see The Omega Man.) Adding a dog probably didn't hurt either." Posted Feb 16, 2008	I Am Legend (2007)	68%
4.5/5	"As a technical achievement, it's one of the better films I have seen this year. The story is old-school overblown and yet it is played so sincerely you hardly notice its old-fashioned fire." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Atonement (2007)	82%
4/5	"Walk Hard is not making a mockery of the music or the musicians. It only playfully takes the teases the filmmakers and the conventions that have developed in telling these tortured artists' stories. It's only Matinee price because it is occasionally a l" Posted Feb 16, 2008	Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)	74%
4/5	"There has been plenty of critical pants-wetting about Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, and I am an Anderson admirer to be sure %u2013 but beyond an acting nomination for Daniel Day Lewis, I just can't get on that train." Posted Feb 16, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
4.5/5	"Even though the story plays out nonlinearly, the intensity surges up a straight slope. This would seem impossible if not for the masterful screenplay by first-timer Kelly Masterson and deft direction by Sidney Lumet." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)	88%
5/5	"Nothing feels choreographed or contrived %u2013 every shot of disaster is found footage or dumb luck, every glimpse of the threat is fleeting and often unsatisfying. This is, simply put, awesome. To make things better, the movie is intensely character-d" Posted Feb 16, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
5/5	"Screenwriter Ronald Harwood turns this first person novel into an intensely first person movie. There are times when it seems impossible that a camera could even be present, the surroundings are so perfectly interior to a man. Amazing." Posted Feb 16, 2008	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
4/5	"a tender little ultralow budget movie about the intimate connection of making music...the warm folkiness of the songs and their generally non-narrative-pushing content make it feel more like a long, lovely home movie of a short portion of two people's liv" Posted Feb 16, 2008	Once (2007)	97%
2.5/5	"If Crash had been this interesting it might have deserved that Oscar; this movie lacks polish but that is precisely what makes it work. It's a very interesting experiment, one which I found entertaining, nervewracking, and rewarding." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Look (2007)	61%
2/5	"I really didn't like it at all. Catch it on HBO so you can see it uncensored if you want to see some acting outside a script and director's ability to render it unpalatable." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
4/5	"Two vaguely amoral do-gooders do their part to fight Commies in a secret hot war during a cold one%u2026you know, the one that installed the Taliban in Afghanistan and turned it into a place armed to the teeth and crazy pissed at us. Then Sorkin and Nich" Posted Feb 16, 2008	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
3/5	"It offers no judgment, nor does it proffer a solution, but this slow-paced and vivid glimpse behind the veil is an achievement and an education." Posted Feb 16, 2008	Meeting Resistance (2007)	75%
5/5	"A truly beautiful tribute to the redemptive powers of art, music, and dance, and the insidious destructiveness that trickles down in war to the most innocent of victims. Please see it." Posted Feb 16, 2008	War Dance (2007)	86%
4.5/5	"There is a reason why formulae work: here, working well. The movie only blames Jane for forgetting herself in the needs of others, instead of the traditional Hollywood punishment for being single." Posted Feb 16, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	39%
4.5/5	"What makes this movie special is that really, not much happens. ,yet it's insanely gripping, even if someone is explaining discovery or flipping through a file." Posted Jan 10, 2008	Zodiac (2007)	89%
4.5/5	"Like Ben from Bennifer, George Reeves aspired to be a Great Actor, but was weighed down by audience expectations. Affleck does a terrific job with this role." Posted Dec 10, 2007	Hollywoodland (2006)	69%
5/5	"As a voracious consumer of chick media (I like alien shoot 'em ups too!), I tell you that the story arc is extremely surprising & delightful, and that you fellas can feel safe watching this as well." Posted Dec 10, 2007	The Holiday (2006)	47%
4.5/5	"The leads are self-delusional, secretive, dependent, nakedly desperate at times, and all fascinating." Posted Dec 10, 2007	Little Children (2006)	81%
2.5/5	"People have told me they really liked it, so go for the score and sets, stay for when it finally grabs you: be prepared for an uphill climb to the intended transcendence." Posted Dec 10, 2007	Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)	36%
4/5	"Superb performances from both leads, even if only Cheadle and not also Ejiofor is billed as the lead actor." Posted Dec 10, 2007	Talk to Me (1982)	n/a
5/5	"Only "quirky" in that it is so very sincere...please go see it." Posted Dec 10, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
4/5	"The film is a slow burn, not building, not petering out, just becoming gradually more nerve-wracking as each plot point makes itself known. Astounding sound design by Craig Berkey." Posted Nov 22, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
3/5	"Basically, The Kingdom is a simple whodunit in political thriller drag that starts a little slow and ends a little weakly." Posted Nov 22, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
2/5	""Man, I could be doing my laundry," I groused, as Clooney looked deep into the camera's eyes and gave me nothing." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Michael Clayton (2007)	91%
3/5	"It would be fun to rent with friends who talk back to movies and imbibe a little ETOH to facilitate the witty comebacks. Compared to the other Halloween offerings out there this year, 30 Days of Night is really pretty decent value for your money. Great" Posted Nov 22, 2007	30 Days of Night (2007)	49%
4.5/5	"Romantic but gents, don't let this deter you - it's about a man, his journey, and his burdens, it's a story of a husband and a dad and a brother and a man who used to be someone's lover. Bring a date." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	64%
3/5	"Rendition's heart is in the right place, but feels like a desperate single attempt to get it all out at once out of fear of losing another chance. I am glad I saw it, but I don't ever need to see it again." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Rendition (2007)	47%
4/5	"Dark, violent, but stylish and impeccably performed." Posted Nov 22, 2007	The American Gangster (1992)	n/a
3.5/5	"It's interesting and funny and agonizing and illuminating to know what happens before you get that first annoying animated promo for a new show. For fans of: Undeclared, Studio 60." Posted Nov 22, 2007	The TV Set (2007)	64%
3.5/5	"Smarter than it is funny with delicious design." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	53%
3/5	"Neither as terrible as it could be nor as funny as it should be, this is a painless way to catch a new holiday movie without getting into a fight about what part was the lamest." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
5/5	"I walked in there all crabby, tired, bitter, and sad, and I walked out with a beatific smile on my face that not even Beowulf could remove entirely." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Enchanted (2007)	94%
4/5	"Looks like the world's longest cut scene but neither as good nor as bad as it could have been. Demands the 3D large screen to be seen." Posted Nov 22, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	70%
4/5	"Two thirds amazing, one third off-putting and boring psychedelia, but the amazing stuff generally wins out." Posted Oct 23, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	53%
4/5	"Well crafted and painful to watch. Worth paying Matinee price if you can shake the discomfort off." Posted Oct 23, 2007	Lust, Caution (2007)	69%
2.5/5	"Narcisisstic, un-empathetic, but stumbles into genuine entertainment at times despite that." Posted Oct 14, 2007	Fired! (2007)	44%
4/5	"Requires an expertise in Austen's works but rewards you with a decadently satisfying ending - a guilty pleasure." Posted Oct 14, 2007	The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)	64%
