2.5/4	"a mildly engrossing lecture on the pitfalls of fame -- drug abuse, failed marriages and egos run rampant -- all set to the melismatic bellowing of semi-catchy show tunes." -- County Cable Posted Feb 2, 2007	Dreamgirls (2006)	78%
1.5/4	"It's good advice to never pick up strangers. It's equally sound advice to never go see a remake of an unremarkable '80s horror flick that is produced by Michael Bay and directed by a filmmaker best known for crafting Britney Spears videos." -- County Cable Posted Jan 26, 2007	The Hitcher (2007)	19%
2/4	"Lady in the Water appears to be a creepy fairy tale, but it's really a psychological thriller. Trouble is, the psychology involves the mindset of its writer-director." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jul 21, 2006	Lady in the Water (2006)	24%
N/A	"Brian O'Halloran: 'It speaks to a more broad audience than to one who wants to hear us lace into a couple customers and play hockey on the roof.'" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jul 14, 2006	Clerks II (2006)	63%
2/4	"It simply fades into Wilson's growing r�sum� of watchable but unremarkable comedies." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jul 14, 2006	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
2.5/4	"At more than two-and-a-half hours, this second installment veers toward overkill" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jul 7, 2006	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	54%
3/4	"Come February, it might be very fashionable to present Streep with another Oscar" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jun 30, 2006	The Devil Wears Prada (2006)	76%
2.5/4	"It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a downer." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jun 28, 2006	Superman Returns (2006)	77%
3/4	"the documentary is so convincing that it makes opposers of the argument as credible as Holocaust deniers." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jun 23, 2006	An Inconvenient Truth (2006)	93%
2/4	"What is least appealing about the Hesses is the sense that they are always laughing 'at' rather than 'with' their characters" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jun 16, 2006	Nacho Libre (2006)	38%
2/4	"*Apparently, anthropomorphized machines are a whole lot less fun than anthropomorphized fish, insects, toys or monsters. Remember last year's Robots? Yeah, me neither" -- Lawrence Journal-World* Posted Jun 9, 2006	Cars (2006)	75%
2.5/4	"It's at least trying to stay anchored in the real world, where cute couples don't always make up and walk hand-in-hand into the sunset." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jun 2, 2006	The Break-Up (2006)	34%
2.5/4	"*The main downfall of X-Men: The Last Stand* is also its biggest guilty pleasure: watching just how many mutant baddies they can throw on the screen.*" -- Lawrence Journal-World* Posted May 26, 2006	X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)	56%
2/4	"Ideas that are genuinely challenging to people's beliefs don't come from sources like Ron Howard. His movie is a professional, workmanlike effort -- a passable potboiler and not much more." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted May 19, 2006	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%
2/4	"It's the cinematic equivalent of a Carnival Cruise" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted May 12, 2006	Poseidon (2006)	33%
3.5/4	"The movie is why popcorn was invented." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted May 5, 2006	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	70%
3.5/4	"The very act of depicting the events with such detached frankness makes for a far more gripping experience than any cinematic embellishments might provide." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted May 1, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
2.5/4	"*The film is tailor-made for the vast audience that can't wait to watch Fox's Idol* each week while still intellectually grasping what a glossy hunk of junk it is.*" -- Lawrence Journal-World* Posted Apr 21, 2006	American Dreamz (2006)	41%
3/4	"a comedy both as dark as a black lung and as illuminating as a stadium full of flicked lighters." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Apr 14, 2006	Thank You For Smoking (2006)	86%
3/4	"What at first appears to be heading into Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie turf steadily finds its own violent voice" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Apr 7, 2006	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	51%
1.5/4	"Stone's every line of dialogue, every gesture, every hussy lip smack screams 'I'm too sexy for this movie.' And it's often hilarious." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Mar 31, 2006	Basic Instinct 2 (2006)	7%
2.5/4	"V for Vendetta is a confounding exercise that has no trouble getting people to think, but it's far less successful at getting them to feel." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Mar 17, 2006	V For Vendetta (2005)	73%
2.5/4	"So visceral is the carnage and so believable are the victims' reactions to it that it's impossible not to get caught up in the story." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Mar 10, 2006	The Hills Have Eyes (2006)	50%
2/4	"the quieter scenes far outweigh the noisier ones" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Mar 3, 2006	16 Blocks (2006)	56%
3/4	"*For a picture so fetishistically obsessed with death, Running Scared* is vibrantly alive.*" -- Lawrence Journal-World* Posted Feb 24, 2006	Running Scared (2006)	40%
2.5/4	"an irreverent, imaginative and often just plain weird spin on the classic fairy tale" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Feb 17, 2006	Hoodwinked (2006)	48%
2/4	"once the fistfights, car chases and stray explosions begin to mount, the movie veers into exponentially dumb overkill." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Feb 10, 2006	Firewall (2006)	19%
3/4	"it does a capable job of capturing a time and place, bringing to life several unforgettable personalities and illustrating the moral self-loathing of a writer whose real-life subject must die before he has a decent ending to his book." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Feb 3, 2006	Capote (2005)	91%
2.5/4	"This generally engrossing Christian parable is the type of film that conservatives will overpraise and liberals will overcriticize." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jan 20, 2006	End of the Spear (2006)	41%
2.5/4	"somehow the conviction that Queen Latifah brings to the project makes some of the film's dopier choices easier to forgive." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Jan 13, 2006	Last Holiday (2006)	54%
2/4	"*a monotonous and often inadvertently campy romance that rivals The Hours* as the most overrated movie of the decade*" -- Lawrence Journal-World* Posted Jan 6, 2006	Brokeback Mountain (2005)	87%
2.5/4	"The 'zany' performances are like a well-oiled machine, and, consequently, much of the movie comes across as mechanical." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Dec 27, 2005	The Producers (2005)	51%
3/4	"When Murrow cautions viewers they should 'not be driven by fear into an age of unreason,' the film seems more culturally relevant than anything playing at the multiplex." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Dec 23, 2005	Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)	94%
4/4	"The sight of the mighty ape taking futile swipes at bullet-spitting biplanes from the top of the Empire State Building remains one of the most awe-inspiring and utterly sad images in movie history." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Dec 14, 2005	King Kong (2005)	84%
3/4	"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe fares much better in its smaller, quieter moments that test the mettle and morality of its young heroes" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Dec 9, 2005	The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)	75%
3/4	"The movie is so relentlessly impulsive that it becomes easier if the audience just cries 'uncle' to its stylistic arm twisting." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Dec 2, 2005	Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)	83%
1.5/4	"*'Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes.' These opening lyrical lines of Rent* also seem to describe how long it takes for a viewer to sit through the movie.*" -- Lawrence Journal-World* Posted Nov 24, 2005	Rent (2005)	48%
3/4	"Although the plot of this installment explores 'three unforgivable curses,' the sequel avoids the 'curse of the fourth film,' proving there is still a heap of charm left in this young wizard's tale." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Nov 18, 2005	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)	89%
3/4	"What makes the fantasy elements seem particularly colorful is that the film immediately grounds the characters in reality." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Nov 11, 2005	Zathura (2005)	76%
N/A	"Steve Balderson: "My 20s were spent trying to conceive and make this movie."" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Nov 4, 2005	Firecracker (2004)	n/a
2.5/4	"Gyllenhaal gives his strongest performance yet, perfectly balancing the frat-like bravado and utter cluelessness of young guys riding out their terms in the military" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Nov 4, 2005	Jarhead (2005)	60%
2.5/4	"Audiences who can stomach Cage�s lingering malaise might appreciate an eccentric drama with a subtle command of dark humor" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Oct 28, 2005	The Weather Man (2005)	58%
2/4	"It�s possible there�s not a single moment in the movie � in terms of dialogue, plot or design � that can�t be directly attributed to another flick." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Oct 21, 2005	Doom (2005)	20%
2/4	"The movie comes across like the director died about two-thirds of the way through filming and a loony relative stepped in to finish the project." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Oct 14, 2005	Elizabethtown (2005)	28%
3.5/4	"Park finds a way to turn very peculiar plots into easy-to-digest adventures" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Oct 7, 2005	Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)	96%
4/4	"It�s the director�s most fully realized work and a masterstroke of violent cinema." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Sep 30, 2005	A History of Violence (2005)	87%
3/4	"Charming and amoral, intense and indifferent, Cage continues to deliver the kind of dominating performance that elevated quirky efforts such as Adaptation." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Sep 16, 2005	Lord of War (2005)	60%
3/4	"When it�s scary, it�s extra scary. Nails-in-the-armrest scary." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Sep 9, 2005	The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)	44%
2/4	"Despite occupying nearly every scene, Bill Murray is a virtual non-presence in Jim Jarmusch�s latest puzzler." -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Sep 2, 2005	Broken Flowers (2005)	86%
2/4	"too generic to offer many scares" -- Lawrence Journal-World Posted Aug 26, 2005	The Cave (2005)	13%
