« Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 91%	Volver (2006)	" Hollywood, take notice: If you hand Penelope Cruz a role with more depth than the paper it's printed on, this is what you'll get." Posted Apr 27, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 95%	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	" I saw better films in 2006 -- but none more imaginative than Guillermo del Toro's communal masterpiece. Bring a friend, and you'll have plenty to talk about." Posted Apr 27, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	The Departed (2006)	" *Stacked up against Taxi Driver* and Raging Bull, sure ... this is lesser Scorsese. And 'lesser' Scorsese is still better than almost anything else around.**" Posted Oct 13, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 67%	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	" Linklater has a determined method in making sense of the madness -- framing Dick's political paranoia as a plea for mankind to reverse the course of its self-destruction." Posted Aug 15, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 90%	United 93 (2006)	" If this were a work of complete fiction, it would be an absolutely riveting thriller. That it's based on actual events makes it all the more horrific, and heartbreaking." Posted May 2, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 86%	Brokeback Mountain (2005)	" Better films were made in 2005 -- but none with the raw, emotional immediacy of what Ang Lee has accomplished, or a more palpable sense of hope beneath a sadness that runs bone-deep. " Posted Jan 22, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 77%	Munich (2005)	" A difficult, disquieting story of violence, revenge and redemption that could have been shaped by no other hands but Spielberg's -- in the best film he has ever made." Posted Jan 19, 2006
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 83%	King Kong (2005)	" Exhausting, in the visceral, adrenal way a good adventure should be. Comparing 'War of the Worlds' and this particular 'Kong,' Peter Jackson out-Spielbergs Steven Spielberg." Posted Dec 15, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 94%	Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)	" We relied on Edward R. Murrow for his calm, his unflappable integrity, in times of both crisis and elation. 'Good Night, and Good Luck' reminds us why we need him now." Posted Nov 21, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 62%	Lord of War (2005)	" Niccol and Cage make the downward spiral an entertaining journey � so fiercely entertaining that it takes an eternity to realize how just how hard we�ve been sucker-punched." Posted Sep 18, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 80%	Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)	" A glorious, perversely satisfying conclusion to a labor of love ... and a grand entertainment in its own right." Posted May 19, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 91%	Million Dollar Baby (2004)	" ... a deeply felt (but never feel-good) father-daughter love story � and one of the most emotionally shattering films ever made." Posted Feb 1, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 97%	Sideways (2004)	" Neither a bang nor a whimper, but a warm, engaging dialogue about things that matter, in words that must be said." Posted Feb 1, 2005
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 97%	The Incredibles (2004)	" Wild, wondrous and utterly disarming ... sweet but never saccharine, freed from the shackles of postmodern irony and cleverness for its own sake." Posted Nov 8, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 89%	Shrek 2 (2004)	" Once or twice a decade, a moment comes along that�s so through-the-roof, rupture-your-hernia funny that it reaffirms my faith in comedy. 'Shrek 2' has several of those. " Posted May 21, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 85%	Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)	" It exhilarates even as it maddens." Posted Apr 28, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 72%	Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)	" ... the true star of this film is Eduardo Serra, who should have had the Oscar. Sweeping fantasy vistas are easy; creating a sensual feast through the camera�s lens is hard." Posted Apr 6, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 94%	The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)	" 'The Lord of the Rings" saga ends as it began -- with elegant simplicity and heart." Posted Dec 18, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 87%	Mystic River (2003)	" ... bores its way in and lingers for hours, even days before we finally can come to terms with it � and ourselves. But the less we know, the more we understand." Posted Oct 19, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 85%	Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)	" A brash, bloody and simply exhilarating revenge melodrama and stylistic indulgence inspired by an imagination that spent thousands of hours absorbing pulp paperbacks, comic books, 'Kung Fu,' the mythology of Bruce Lee and Hong Kong chop-socky epics while" Posted Oct 14, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 76%	Gangs of New York (2002)	" The greatest living American filmmaker returns to form in a triumph of raw cinematic power." Posted Jan 9, 2003
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 65%	Solaris (2002)	" Not as much a remake of a sci-fi classic as a reverent interpretation by a filmmaker at peace with his material." Posted Nov 29, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 79%	Punch-Drunk Love (2002)	" Paul Thomas Anderson's surreal, frightening, self-indulgent masterpiece." Posted Nov 3, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 74%	Frailty (2002)	" ... a haunting, relentlessly disturbing film in the pure Southern Gothic tradition." Posted Jun 10, 2002
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 79%	The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)	" 'A flawed gem of darkly comic luster.'" Posted Jul 11, 2002
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 71%	The Night of the Iguana (1964)	No article or quote available Posted Nov 28, 2004
