	"*This deliciously wicked slice of demonic horror from Italian master Dario Argento serves as a devilish antidote to bleak shockers like Saw." -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Jun 2, 2008	Mother of Tears (2008)	49%
	"A tough, engaging, extremely touching work of cinema." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 9, 2008	XXY (2008)	73%
	"*Although a little too open-ended to be wholly satisfying, Water Lilies* is still an excellent directorial debut.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Mar 24, 2008	Water Lilies (2007)	79%
	"Infectiously enjoyable." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 17, 2008	Roman de Gare (2008)	88%
	"Clips from old television broadcasts make this space documentary entertaining." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 14, 2008	Sputnik Mania (2008)	90%
	"The direction is uninspired, acting is lifeless, and the script borders on the inept. A PG-13 rating means that it's short on shocks, too." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 8, 2008	One Missed Call (2008)	0%
	"[Director Nic] Balthazar's determination to draw a positive message from a negative situation doesn't quite fit." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 5, 2007	Ben X (2007)	65%
	"This slice of Nordic doom and gloom envelops the gruesome behavior of its subjects in a jaunty charm." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 28, 2007	The Art of Crying (2006)	50%
	"It's a typically poetic film, rich in powerful imagery, which sees a bitter personal tragedy unfold against the major events of 20th century Greece." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 15, 2007	The Weeping Meadow (2004)	65%
	"Its tough but moving neo-realist approach make it one of the better British films of recent times." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 9, 2007	This Is England (2007)	93%
	"Those expecting a reflective Buddhist piece will be surprised. First-time director Neten Chokling's film actually is a powerful revenge drama. Despite the film's low budget, there's also spectacle, courtesy of the Himalayan locations." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 14, 2007	Milarepa (2007)	36%
	"...a well-observed slice of social realist cinema." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 10, 2007	Love for Sale: Suely in the Sky (2007)	75%
	"It's short on both coherence and shocks, and features a quick, deus ex machina ending which will have viewers leaving the theatre feeling let down." -- Film Journal International Posted Aug 17, 2007	The Invasion (2007)	19%
	"A cut above the usual dramas aimed at teen female audiences, not least because it's about more than shopping and romance." -- Film Journal International Posted Aug 6, 2007	Bratz: The Movie (2007)	7%
	"*A clever structure by director Seth Gordon means that The King of Kong* ends up more engrossing than its bunch of geeky characters initially suggest.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted May 11, 2007	The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)	97%
	"A well-judged performance by Kevin Costner brings drama to this actioner." -- Film Journal International Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Guardian (2006)	37%
	"Director Damien O'Donnell has achieved a warm and uplifting movie which is marred only by a brief drift into melodrama in the middle." -- Film Journal International Posted Mar 1, 2007	Rory O'Shea Was Here (2005)	49%
	"A moderately enjoyable affair which only drags in the middle." -- Film Journal International Posted Mar 1, 2007	Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)	33%
	"A committed piece of agit-prop, which benefits from the passion of its protagonists." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 28, 2006	Screamers (2006)	66%
	"The good scenes hit home, but the bad ones tilt towards melodrama and sentimentality." -- Film Journal International Posted Dec 14, 2006	Home of the Brave (2006)	23%
	"*Although Flushed Away* is on a much bigger scale than its homely predecessors, it's still comfortably offbeat and funny.*" -- Film Journal International* Posted Dec 1, 2006	Flushed Away (2006)	73%
	"The result is passable, though it�s clear that his forte lies elsewhere." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 25, 2006	Unknown (2006)	36%
	"A deeply thoughtful biopic of a legendary gaming master." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 18, 2006	The Go Master (2006)	69%
	"An intelligently written piece that only falters during the finale, where Kon sacrifices the film's logic for an explosive ending." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 18, 2006	Paprika (2007)	82%
	"Jaunty, likable and surprisingly relevant tale of one of the better scandals of the '70s." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 17, 2006	The Hoax (2007)	85%
	"This film lacks Hong Sang-soo's usual insight and narrative innovation." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 11, 2006	Woman on the Beach (2006)	88%
	"While it attempts to be apolitical, the filmmakers short shrift of what happened during and after Hurricane Katrina weakens an otherwise worthy film." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 2, 2006	Hurricane on the Bayou (2006)	85%
	"It works as a funny and slicker-than-expected parody of the genre." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 2, 2006	Feast (2006)	56%
	"Social commentary elevates this light coming-of-age drama about a young British boy's university days." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 15, 2006	Starter For 10 (2007)	89%
	"The ambitious staging of Jaa's lean and long-limbed Muay Thai fight scenes makes them look impressive. There is just too little happening in between to engage a wider audience." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 7, 2006	The Protector (2006)	54%
	"Succeeds mainly because of its hell-for-leather exuberance." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 24, 2006	Krrish (2006)	100%
	"*[Eleven Men Out] thoughtful and funny characters, something that should give this droll drama appeal beyond a niche gay audience." -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted May 20, 2006	Eleven Men Out (2007)	40%
	"Brasilia 18% ultimately succeeds as a good story well told." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 12, 2006	Bras�lia 18% (2006)	n/a

	"This debut feature by Filipino director Auraeus Solito is a neatly observed take on Manila street life." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 19, 2006	The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (2006)	88%
	"A powerful political allegory." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 19, 2006	Iron Island (2006)	97%
	"Stylish flourishes hold things together in the absence of strong plotting." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 19, 2006	Wild Tigers I Have Known (2007)	64%
	"It's a worthy subject, but its credibility is damaged by some banal fabrications." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 12, 2006	Yang Ban Xi - The Eight Model Works (2006)	65%
	"Toilet humor, jokes about paraplegics and serious overacting make this lowbrow comedy an irritating watch." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 28, 2006	Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)	6%
	"Marebito is a disturbing supernatural drama that leaves a sour taste in the mouth." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 30, 2005	Marebito (2004)	43%
	"Tremendously enjoyable." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 13, 2005	Taj Mahal: An Eternal Love Story (2005)	60%
	"This well-made World War II film from Germany is both a coming-of-age story and a critique of National Socialist ideology." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 21, 2005	Before the Fall (2004)	65%
	"There's so little to go wrong that those who like their entertainment mindless and violent will find little fault." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 20, 2005	Doom (2005)	20%
	"In spite of its undeniable aesthetic and cinematic value, though, the film lacks the emotional engagement and social importance of [the director's] classic work of the 1980s and early '90s." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 6, 2005	Three Times (2006)	86%
	"Hong, who reportedly always carries a notebook with him, is an excellent observer of the minutiae of daily life." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 4, 2005	Keuk Jang Jeon (2005)	100%
	"This fascinating documentary details day-to-day life in the hard-line Communist state of North Korea." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 30, 2005	A State of Mind (2005)	93%
	"A powerful, if one-sided, attack on the GM food industry." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 27, 2005	The Future Of Food (2005)	84%
	"This banal comedy is filmmaking of the lowest order." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 16, 2005	Dirty Love (2005)	8%
	"It does a fairly good job of laying out the basic political motives behind Islamic terrorism. Unfortunately, as a drama, it has its narrative peak in the middle and quickly runs out of story afterward." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 12, 2005	The War Within (2005)	72%
