2/5	"It�s exactly the kind of film that I�ll forget having ever seen by the time Summer is over and that�s too bad as I do love the premise of the film and I�m a fan of Rainn Wilson." -- Film Threat Posted Jun 17, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	35%
2/5	"While the film has some laugh out-loud moments, it's very poorly constructed and what we see onscreen seems to be the victim of either bad editing, poor direction or a script that was rushed into production too quickly." -- Film Threat Posted Apr 8, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
5/5	"Let�s hope we don�t have to wait so long to see what Korine will do next." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 18, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	44%
4/5	"Being creative is scary and personal and when you involve other people in the creative process you have to trust them or find a way to get what you want. And that happens here as do laughs, gasps, confusion and terror both real and internalized." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 29, 2008	Baghead (2008)	81%
1/5	"August doesn�t make a lot of sense nor does it seem to have a message or point." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 22, 2008	August (2008)	35%
2/5	"Unravels from about the twenty minute mark on and makes no attempt to recover. Rather, it becomes more clich� and ham fisted as it rolls along." -- Film Threat Posted Oct 16, 2007	We Own The Night (2007)	55%
4/5	"One of the most powerful films I�ve seen in years." -- Film Threat Posted Oct 2, 2007	In the Valley of Elah (2007)	72%
3/5	"Visually rich and yet cold and claustrophobic." -- Film Threat Posted Sep 22, 2007	Sunshine (2007)	76%
4.5/5	"In order for such a small film like this to work, you have to kind of fall in love with the leads, and both Fisher and Lankenau make that easy to do." -- Film Threat Posted Jun 30, 2007	Quiet City (2007)	86%
4/5	"Things to Do is a funny, charming, sad and thoughtful film." -- Film Threat Posted Jun 4, 2007	Things to Do ()	100%
3/5	"A nice textbook on how to use the camera in a confined space." -- Film Threat Posted May 29, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
4/5	"You won�t be disappointed." -- Film Threat Posted May 29, 2007	Black Book (2007)	76%
3.5/5	"It�s suspenseful and kind of scary." -- Film Threat Posted Apr 2, 2007	First Snow (2007)	56%
4/5	"*Each film [director Swanberg] does is a little more of an evolution in style and form and Hannah Takes the Stairs* is like watching a natural progression of talent.*" -- Film Threat* Posted Mar 24, 2007	Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)	66%
3/5	"You�re Gonna Miss Me is still a great meld of rock history, the sociological and familial impacts of mental disability and some courtroom intrigue." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 4, 2007	You're Gonna Miss Me - A Film About Roky Erickson (2007)	78%
5/5	"Imagine what the cinema world would be like if more great directors threw caution to the wind and followed their artistic vision." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 19, 2007	Inland Empire (2006)	70%
4.5/5	"Little Children is outstanding and I think it will be one of those films that people don�t really recognize it�s greatness until a few years down the road." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 2, 2007	Little Children (2006)	81%
4.5/5	"Pan�s Labyrinth is one of those underdog films that needs to be seen and I encourage anyone who likes movies of any kind to check it out." -- Film Threat Posted Dec 29, 2006	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
4/5	"Fast Food Nation makes you really think. It�s also really sad and fairly disgusting. But if that�s the bitter pill we have to swallow in order to look at what we�re doing to ourselves, then it�s a bad taste I can live with." -- Film Threat Posted Nov 21, 2006	Fast Food Nation (2006)	51%

3.5/5	"2 A.M. isn�t a perfect film, but there�s quite a lot to be admired of here. I look forward to seeing what Coleman does next and I really believe Sonya Tsuchigane is someone to watch." -- Film Threat Posted Sep 23, 2006	2 A.M. (2006)	n/a
5/5	"It�s an honest, fair and unflinching look at one of the greatest, and saddest, natural disasters to hit our shores." -- Film Threat Posted Sep 5, 2006	When the Levees Broke (2006)	96%
3.5/5	"The film manages to draw the viewer in by combining a biography with classic elements of mystery, suspense and family drama." -- Film Threat Posted Aug 22, 2006	Hollywoodland (2006)	70%
4/5	"Smith reinvents the romantic-comedy by making a film about a man in love with his kid." -- Film Threat Posted Jul 22, 2006	Jersey Girl (2004)	40%
4.5/5	"A Prairie Home Companion is nothing short of a real treat and an experience lovers of the radio show and future lovers of it shouldn�t miss." -- Film Threat Posted Jun 9, 2006	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	81%
2/5	"As I sat through this two hour stumble through what looked like fog, I just kept thinking to myself how this might be the best looking bad film I've ever seen." -- Film Threat Posted Apr 24, 2006	Silent Hill (2006)	30%
2.5/5	"It just feels contrived when a good comedy like this should feel clever." -- Film Threat Posted Apr 4, 2006	Live Free or Die (2007)	43%
2/5	"[I] have to admit to not getting much out of a big budget B movie. B movies are fun because they�re rinky dink." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 28, 2006	Slither (2006)	84%
3.5/5	"A really dry, funny and sad film." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 15, 2006	Gretchen (2006)	80%
3/5	"I do think people need to see this movie to understand where we're headed due to wasteful and greedy pigheadedness." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 15, 2006	OilCrash (2006)	n/a
4/5	"Swanberg continues to grow as a filmmaker and I can�t wait to see what he comes up with next." -- Film Threat Posted Mar 14, 2006	LOL (2006)	100%
4/5	"This film reminded me of a Raymond Carver short story or a John Cassavettes film in that emotions rule the day, but their root is never fully explained. You just get a feeling." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 7, 2006	Old Joy (2006)	85%
2/5	"By the time the credits rolled I was bored rather than stunned by the revelations within the movie and I just want these type of reversal/twist movies to get better, or go away." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 7, 2006	The Night Listener (2006)	40%
4/5	"While the film has some funky flaws, it�s a terrific satire and is downright hilarious." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 7, 2006	The Darwin Awards (2006)	25%
4/5	"A totally engrossing and extremely disturbing doc on many levels." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	KZ (2005)	n/a
4.5/5	"A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is a great film. It's the truthfulness to the time and the characters that elevate the film to something far above a cliche." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	75%
4/5	"A pretty great little movie." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	Quinceanera (2006)	86%
1/5	"These chatty, pedantic, annoying characters are simply not interesting enough to follow for five minutes, let alone over two hours." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	Flannel Pajamas (2006)	52%
4/5	"The most fun I've had in a movie in a long time." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	Pine Flat (2006)	n/a
2/5	"To make a personal documentary click, you really have to be willing to get in the trenches with the subject and that just doesn't happen here." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	Wide Awake (2006)	80%
3/5	"I don't want to give to much away in terms of this film because it really is fascinating, but I will say that the film helps crystalize major flaws in our legal system." -- Film Threat Posted Feb 4, 2006	The Trials of Darryl Hunt (2007)	100%
4.5/5	"It's the heart and honesty throughout the film that make it unforgettable." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)	75%
4/5	"Half Nelson pulls it all together with a closing scene that's very touching and highly memorable." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
3/5	"Archer proves that he has a unique way of storytelling through the medium of film." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	Wild Tigers I Have Known (2007)	64%
2/5	"The film drags on (no pun intended) and doesn't impart the kind of emotional immersion I think Everson was aiming for." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	Cinnamon (2006)	n/a
3/5	"The film has a fairy tale feel to it and it's sort of fun." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	Little Red Flowers (2006)	n/a
2/5	"After 45 minutes of seeing this hard work, we get the point." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	In The Pit (2007)	71%
2/5	"Stories are told about Eggleston but he's never asked to comment on them. It's highly frustrating." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 30, 2006	By the Ways, a Journey with William Eggleston (2005)	n/a
2.5/5	"I just couldn't buy into the way the film veered into a family drama when it started out so confidently." -- Film Threat Posted Jan 27, 2006	Open Window (2005)	0%
