Fresh 4/4	Fresh 90%	Up in the Air (2009)	" This is Reitman's third film, and he has proven in each of them to be able to transcend gimmick and make it personal and then further transcend that and make it universal." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 3, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)	" The film has a renegade attitude but is also clearly respectful of the purpose of children's stories -- to entertain, to teach, to imagine -- and it's a joy to experience." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Nov 24, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 91%	Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009)	" So honestly written, so vividly directed, and so brilliantly performed we are transported to a psychological nightmare of despair, insecurity, only the slightest glimmer of hope, and the smallest, most bittersweet rewards." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Nov 5, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Rotten 55%	Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)	" *In spite of its holiday trappings, A Christmas Carol* is an incredibly bleak look into the deepest and darkest human fears, but it is also a vibrant celebration of our better natures.*" — Mark Reviews Movies* Posted Nov 5, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 88%	Inglourious Basterds (2009)	" There are no pure heroes or villains in Tarantino's vision of WWII, just varying degrees of the dredges of humanity in a time and place where the shadows have free reign." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Aug 20, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 91%	Ponyo (2009)	" We are truly dealing with a master." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Aug 13, 2009
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 93%	Juno (2007)	" Could have played up the subversive, satirical possibilities of the scenario, but [Diablo Cody's] first script is too smart, her affection for her characters too strong, to mistreat the story and its inhabitants so." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 13, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 71%	Lust, Caution (2007)	" A meditative, melancholy account of wartime espionage." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Oct 4, 2007

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 62%	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	" If the first sequel was superhero movie as soap opera, this is it approaching opera." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted May 1, 2007

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	Children of Men (2006)	" An immersive, transporting experience, both devastating and hopeful, and a film that is emotionally, intellectually, and viscerally exhilarating." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Dec 25, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 91%	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	" This is not only the best comedy of the year; it may well be the best comedy in a decade. Hell, it might be the best comedy in one-score years. Maybe even one-score years plus a decade." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Nov 13, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 75%	The Prestige (2006)	" Part homage to the art of performance, part admiration of science and technology, part unexpected turn to science fiction, and total mind-melting madness." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Nov 7, 2006

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 96%	Catch Me If You Can (2002)	" *Spielberg doesn�t automatically make great movies because he�s a great director; he�s a great director because he has the ability to make great movies. Catch Me If You Can* is one of them.*" — Mark Reviews Movies* Posted Dec 26, 2002

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 66%	Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)	" Lucas has recaptured and accentuated the elements that made the original films such a joy to experience." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted May 16, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 74%	Frailty (2002)	" Haunting and challenging to the mind, the conscience, and many preconceived notions. It�s already easily one of the year�s best films." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted May 7, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Rotten 51%	Bully (2001)	" If such material and the pessimism accompanying it make some people uncomfortable, maybe they�re starting to get the point." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Jun 14, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 79%	Waking Life (2001)	" *It�s quite safe to say that films like Waking Life* come about once in a blue moon.*" — Mark Reviews Movies* Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 93%	Memento (2001)	" A completely engrossing experience that demands and deserves multiple viewings." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 79%	The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)	" If the dysfunctional family is a distinctly American pop-culture cornerstone, Anderson has created a small opus of the American family." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 86%	Gosford Park (2001)	" Works as a murder mystery, a comedy of manners, a human drama, and a social commentary simply by providing a rich tapestry of characters and relationships, status and class." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 73%	A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)	" My first impression of the ending was that it was too sentimental, yet upon another viewing, I had a completely different reaction--utter appreciation of a work of beauty." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)	" A film of incredible vision and surprising emotional involvement--a rich tapestry of old-fashioned storytelling and modern-day technical marvels. An instant classic." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 77%	Moulin Rouge (2001)	" A daring and audacious film that may not only awaken the movie musical, but that will also place itself among the best films of this year." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 78%	A Beautiful Mind (2001)	" A grand Hollywood drama." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Feb 26, 2002

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 98%	E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)	" The newly enhanced effects cannot affect what�s most important to the film. Its heart is still there, completely intact, and that�s really all that matters." — Mark Reviews Movies Posted Apr 24, 2002
