2/6	"The animation lacks depth, and the only striking element is the Teletubbies-on-acid color scheme." -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 16, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	38%
2/6	"Can someone explain how this high-concept dud nabbed a coveted Fourth of July opening?" -- Time Out New York Posted Jul 2, 2008	Hancock (2008)	38%
4/6	"*Eco-friendly, pro-exercise and featuring a glorious use of a fire extinguisher, WALL-E* sparks with genuine creativity.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
2/6	"*If God made the aliens go away in Signs, can true love hold back the toxic winds? More to the point, can anyone find out without laughing?" -- Time Out New York* Posted Jun 13, 2008	The Happening (2008)	19%
2/6	"What we get is either a drama that never takes itself seriously -- or a comedy that�s rarely funny." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Promotion (2008)	47%
3/6	"This is mostly tame stuff." -- Time Out New York Posted Jun 5, 2008	You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)	34%
2/6	"David Mamet officially exceeds his quota of permissible b.s. for this decade with this preposterous new shell game." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 30, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	71%
2/6	"Morgan Spurlock aims his latest docu-stunt at those who haven�t read a newspaper since the Clinton administration." -- Time Out New York Posted Apr 17, 2008	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	35%
3/6	"*Too much time in the sun breeds laziness, and Sarah Marshall* has a structural laxness that befits its setting, as if no one got around to trimming the outtakes.*" -- Time Out New York* Posted Apr 17, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	85%
3/6	"*What saves Smart People, at least in part, is its cast." -- Time Out New York* Posted Apr 10, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
2/6	"*It�s hard to dislike Simon Pegg, but in Run Fat Boy Run, he exhausts our sympathy in the prologue." -- Time Out New York* Posted Mar 27, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
3/6	"Flawless more than compensates for its rough edges." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 27, 2008	Flawless (2007)	59%
3/6	"[Director] Luketic and his screenwriters preserve the excitement and a fair amount of the blackjack strategy -- yet somehow the whole exercise plays like a high-tech John Hughes movie." -- Time Out New York Posted Mar 27, 2008	21 (2008)	35%
4/6	"Energetic as the courtroom antics are, the vintage footage holds its own amazements." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 28, 2008	Chicago 10 (2008)	76%
4/6	"McDonagh�s sense of the absurd never falters." -- Time Out New York Posted Feb 7, 2008	In Bruges (2008)	80%
4/6	Click here to read article -- Time Out New York Posted Jan 18, 2008	Beowulf (2007)	69%
1/6	"This curdled live action�computer animation combo seems phoned-in in every respect..." -- Time Out New York Posted Jan 18, 2008	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	25%
1/6	"It�s a narrative strategy that neither informs, challenges nor heals." -- Time Out New York Posted Jan 18, 2008	Grace is Gone (2007)	57%
2/6	"An overproduced Twilight Zone episode -- and it might have been more satisfying had Del Toro conjured the ghost of Rod Serling and closed the movie with a monologue." -- Time Out New York Posted Dec 20, 2007	The Orphanage (2007)	86%
2/6	"Khaled Hosseini�s engaging best-seller cries out for a film treatment on an epic scale. But with his uneven, awards-baiting adaptation, Marc Forster seems a tourist both culturally and dramatically." -- Time Out New York Posted Dec 13, 2007	The Kite Runner (2007)	67%
4/6	"It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine. feels genuinely sui generis; Glover has said it�s the best film of his career. Whatever, McFly. But he�s not far off." -- Time Out New York Posted Nov 22, 2007	It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE (2007)	80%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Village Voice Posted Jul 28, 2007	Crazy Legs Conti - Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating (2004)	n/a

5/6	"*For Tsai�s fans, Sleep* offers many pleasures, including a heightened attention to nocturnal beauty and a gorgeous, uncharacteristic surrealism.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jul 12, 2007	I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)	88%
4/6	"*Director Lattuada was reportedly acclaimed for his oddball tonal shifts, which Mafioso* offers in spades.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jul 12, 2007	Mafioso (1962)	96%
3/6	"The movie’s most powerful component is political." -- Time Out Posted Jul 12, 2007	Triad Election (2007)	96%
1/6	"The movie shows that the only thing worse than a generically screwy thriller is one with a selective narrator -- and one that doesn�t give viewers a fair chance to play along." -- Time Out Posted Jun 23, 2007	Perfect Stranger (2007)	10%
4/6	"Rock�s breakthrough as a director -- a chance for him to grapple openly with his status as a maturing (but still ostensibly immature) comedian." -- Time Out Posted Jun 23, 2007	I Think I Love My Wife (2007)	19%
	"Without explanatory narration, the impressionistic editing is likely to prove tedious for the uninitiated." -- Village Voice Posted Jul 25, 2006	Darshan - the Embrace (2006)	50%
	"The film, set in September 2002, employs 9-11 as a thematic crutch, positing the attacks as little more than a backdrop for its characters' other, infinitely less significant woes." -- Village Voice Posted Jun 20, 2006	The Great New Wonderful (2006)	74%
	"The last scene expresses simply and eloquently that devotion is where you find it." -- Village Voice Posted May 9, 2006	Mendy - A Question of Faith (2006)	75%
	"Kokan's resentment runs deep -- too deep, unfortunately, for an 82-minute feature to spell out with any clarity." -- Village Voice Posted May 2, 2006	How I Killed a Saint (2004)	83%
	"It�s hard to buy the movie as an underdog success story, since even the actors barely seem to exert themselves." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 13, 2006	The Benchwarmers (2006)	11%
	"Blurbsters on Rotten Tomatoes will say it's hit-and-miss -- and they'll be right." -- Village Voice Posted Apr 11, 2006	Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2006)	53%
	"Maybe video games really do rot the mind." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 28, 2006	Stay Alive (2006)	7%
	"Find Me Guilty is overlong and often sitcomy, but it's also pleasantly old-school, with a tone, soundtrack, and even a title-card font that suggest a mellow but not senile Woody Allen." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 14, 2006	Find Me Guilty (2006)	57%
	"*The milieu owes something to Lindsay Anderson's If....* , but Evil is less anti-authority than pro-confrontation.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Mar 7, 2006	Evil (2003)	68%
	"Because the metaphysics driving it are so fuzzy, this is the rare horror film where even sludgy viscera elicit only yawns." -- Village Voice Posted Mar 7, 2006	Neighbor 13 (2005)	11%
	"It takes a certain gall to pass off mere references as jokes." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 21, 2006	Date Movie (2006)	6%
	"The most that can be said for this strenuously bland reconstitution is that Steve Martin was clearly alive during filming. But just how alive, unfortunately, is at issue." -- Village Voice Posted Feb 14, 2006	Pink Panther (2006)	24%
	"Jake [is] forced to swallow his pride and ask girly Brewster to train him. It's a marginally subversive moment in a movie that otherwise falls in line." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 31, 2006	Annapolis (2006)	10%
	"... a taut brainwashing thriller ..." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 26, 2006	Nightingale in a Music Box (2002)	67%
	"*There's no guiding power at work here; it's Evolution* without a shred of intelligent design.*" -- Village Voice* Posted Jan 25, 2006	Underworld: Evolution (2006)	14%
	"Forget 30-minute delivery -- this brand of indie quirkiness congealed in the late '90s." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 17, 2006	Pizza (2005)	31%
	"Sitcom pizzicato underlines each comic development." -- Village Voice Posted Jan 10, 2006	April's Shower (2006)	23%
	"The Kid & I qualifies as the most indulgent kind of homemade project, laden with tediously inspirational dialogue and visuals that seem shot through half-fizzled Yuengling." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 29, 2005	The Kid & I (2005)	36%
	"Pleasant even without reaching much of a destination." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 29, 2005	Transamerica (2005)	76%
	"It's a sour, petty act of mockery that values its own ineptitude over genuine cleverness, travestying Quentin Tarantino and others simply for dreaming up gimmicks that worked." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 21, 2005	My Big Fat Independent Movie (2005)	23%
	"Never acquires the emotional weight it should." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 15, 2005	Private (2004)	80%
	"*By the time the sky really does start 'falling' -- courtesy of an alien invasion -- Chicken Little's frantic efforts to stay farm fresh have started to wear on the nerves." -- Village Voice* Posted Nov 8, 2005	Chicken Little (2005)	38%
