| N/A | Being Jewish in France (2009) | |
| N/A | Flower in the Pocket (2009) | |
|
| Jazz in the Diamond District (2009) | |
|
| Battle for Terra (2009) | |
|
| A Touch of Spice (2006) | " The food metaphors pile up like layers of an overstuffed sandwich in A Touch of Spice." |
|
| Fanboys (2009) | |
|
| Luck by Chance (2009) | " Luck by Chance is an appealing tale of two would-be actors looking for movie stardom." |
| N/A | War Child (2008) | War Child, a documentary about the hip-hop artist Emmanuel Jal, is a bit ragged and repetitive, but certainly this young man’s life is amazing proof that one person really can make a difference. |
| N/A | The Soviet Story (2008) | |
| N/A | " Somehow it doesn't seem like enough of an insight for a freestanding film." | |
|
| Talento de Barrio (2008) | The violence-laden story, such as it is, is ineptly stitched together; it's unclear who is shooting at whom and why; and the dialogue seldom advances beyond "Yo, dog" and "Whassup?" The soundtrack is the only draw here. |
|
| Fireproof (2008) | |
|
| " It's like being trapped in a roomful of teenage girls for 80 minutes." | |
|
| Ripple Effect (2008) | Starts with a not-very-original insight and takes too many shortcuts delivering it. |
|
| Greetings from the Shore (2008) | |
|
| CSNY Déjà Vu (2008) | CSNY Déjà Vu has some delicious moments, but you never quite shake the feeling that it's documenting a tempest in a teapot. |
|
| Space Chimps (2008) | Journalism is all about having the courage to write the truth even if it will get you mocked by your relatives and co-workers, so here goes: Space Chimps is hilarious. |
|
| Young Yakuza (2007) | " Jean-Pierre Limosin’s Young Yakuza looks at Japan’s version of the Mafia." |
|
| Young & Restless In China (2008) | |
| N/A | The Other Half (2008) | Ying Liang’s slyly subversive second feature takes awhile to coalesce, but once it does, it becomes an intriguing exercise in juxtaposition. |
| N/A | Fade (2008) | |
|
| Poor Boy's Game (2007) | Poor Boy’s Game is a movie built around a boxing match, but its most powerful scenes involve no jabs or hooks. |
|
| A Bloody Aria (2006) | It may seem an odd thing to say about a film in which a baseball bat as an instrument of assault and rape is a recurring theme, but what makes A Bloody Aria a darkly delightful surprise is its restraint. |
|
| The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - A Veggietales Movie (2008) | " This is no savvy Toy Story. It's a boilerplate plot like one you might find in any morning cartoon." |
|
| Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) | |
| N/A | Cocalero (2007) | |
|
| The Girl Next Door (2007) | |
|
| Right at Your Door (2007) | The acting’s pretty good, and the cinematography keeps things lively. |
|
| The Last Legion (2007) | This sword-and-sandal spectacle from those epic-loving De Laurentiises might have made a good children’s film. |
|
| Punk's Not Dead (2007) | |
|
| Shadow Company (2007) | There isn’t as much exposé as you might expect in Shadow Company, but there’s considerably more thoughtfulness. |
|
| Steel City (2006) | Mostly Mr. Jun's script is sharp, and Laurie Metcalf, James McDaniel, America Ferrera and Raymond J. Barry in supporting roles help keep the tale mesmerizing, in a small-scale sort of way. |

| Duck (2007) | No article or quote available |
|
| Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) | Kickin' It Old School is actually much more amusing than it has a right to be, considering that you know exactly what's coming. |
|
| The Taste of Tea (2004) | |
| N/A | Urchin (2006) | |
|
| Verdict on Auschwitz: The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 1963-1965 (2007) | |

| Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) | |

|
| Ms. Martin was full of ideas, and she dispenses them engagingly. | |
|
| Code Name: The Cleaner (2007) | Cedric the Entertainer's artless performance deadens what could have been a much funnier comedy. |
|
| Danielson: A Family Movie (2006) | J L Aronson's documentary is about Daniel Smith, a musician who performs Christian music that is a world away from most of what is heard under that label. |
|
| Reminiscing in Tempo (2006) | This documentary about Duke Ellington is too meandering to be of much use to the uninitiated, but Ellington fans will be grateful for the vintage film clips. |
|
| Ever Again (2005) | |
|
| Snow Blind (2006) | |
|
| Sun Kissed (2006) | When a movie aspires to be gay pornography but can't even manage that, well, you know you've got a bad movie. |
|
| This Filthy World (2006) | Mr. Waters, who has been honing this material for years, is as comfortable and effortless as any monologist you're likely to see. |
|
| Let's Go to Prison (2006) | Let's Go to Prison is a sly, very funny comedy that stays admirably deadpan every time you think its about to veer into gross-out territory. |
|
| Shottas (2006) | Stars from reggae and other musical worlds give acting a try in Shottas, a witless, misogynistic, gratuitously violent, drug-culture-worshiping film. |
|
| Deeper Than Y (2006) | ... has just enough winning moments in it to let viewers forgive that it's little more than a glorified home video. |
