	" Yes, you can polish a turd." Posted Feb 19, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	71%
	" It's a concept without a story." Posted Feb 19, 2008	Jumper (2008)	16%
	" Charlie Bartlett is a teen movie that only wants approval from adults." Posted Feb 19, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
	" The Great Debaters handles conventions well, making an important piece of history affecting and resonant." Posted Jan 21, 2008	The Great Debaters (2007)	80%
	" Calling the movie anti-soldier misses the despair with which DePalma views the troops' situation." Posted Jan 21, 2008	Redacted (2007)	43%
	" Besides disinterest, the only emotion it incites is the emotion of wanting to throw up." Posted Jan 21, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	77%
	" *Though Mad Money* isn't despicable like Because I Said So, it's not recognizably human either.*" Posted Jan 15, 2008*	Mad Money (2008)	21%
	" I'm Not There becomes another boomer ode to the cultural supremacy of the sixties." Posted Jan 15, 2008	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
	" *Combining the hijinks of the Friday* series with the spiritual bent of Tyler Perry's work seems like an obvious move. For producer/star Ice Cube, it's also a dishonest one.*" Posted Jan 15, 2008*	First Sunday (2008)	14%
	" Boll is in fact fascinating - largely because his movies assume their audiences exist in an alternate dimension of human experience." Posted Jan 15, 2008	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	4%
	" Inland Empire is about the effects of movies themselves - the way they change us, inform our goals, and impact our self-image." Posted Sep 4, 2007	Inland Empire (2006)	69%
	" 3:10 to Yuma's sanitized view is flatly middlebrow - even the line readings are delivered to make convenient actor showcase clips on award shows." Posted Sep 3, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
	" Once it steps into a remake of the Carpenter film in its second half, it loses its seriousness." Posted Aug 31, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
	" Taking offense to a film about tolerance just because it's aimed squarely at Middle America is itself intolerant. Chuck and Larry's crime is it doesn't maintain its most audacious bits and it's never funny enough." Posted Aug 29, 2007	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	13%
	" The young and old cast division creates a colourful world of people and ideals. It's an abstraction of an era made resonant, contemporary, and purely joyful." Posted Aug 29, 2007	Hairspray (2007)	91%
	" Bratz (freaky looking teen dolls for girls whose parents won't let them play with real teenagers) is now a high school movie made for people in Grade 6." Posted Aug 29, 2007	Bratz: The Movie (2007)	7%
	" It's the property's most relentless thriller, but director Paul Greengrass' visual style almost ruins it." Posted Aug 29, 2007	The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)	93%
	" Superbad has one detail I've never seen in a teen movie before: The sight of kids drinking alcohol and gagging after every swig." Posted Aug 29, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
	" *Through Hot Rod's manic weirdness, its take on young suburban males is completely authentic. It's the summer's happiest screen comedy." Posted Aug 29, 2007*	Hot Rod (2007)	39%
	" Balls of Fury is intended as a spoof of Enter the Dragon. That's important to know before walking into it, since it looks more like a spoof of the 80s martial arts spoof Big Trouble in Little China." Posted Aug 28, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
	" *The irony is that Captivity* is ABOUT the things it's hated for - a culture that views women as objects, fascination with death and mutilation, turning to the misery of others for our entertainment.*" Posted Jul 17, 2007*	Captivity (2007)	7%
	" It's accomplished, but par for the course: A bloated, basically watchable light show." Posted Jul 17, 2007	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)	77%
	" It finds the defining spirit of these films and maintains it about half the time." Posted Jul 8, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
	" No other major filmmaker patronizes his audience this much." Posted Jul 8, 2007	Sicko (2007)	93%
	" Sadie (Mandy Moore) and Ben (John Krasinski) are getting married (because they met at the start of the movie.)" Posted Jul 8, 2007	License To Wed (2007)	8%
	" *Indulging in the playground of technology at his disposal, Bay makes Transformers' hugeness personal." Posted Jul 8, 2007*	Transformers (2007)	57%
	" Evening's take on defining life choices reveals its manic depressive nature." Posted Jun 25, 2007	Evening (2007)	27%
	" The movie treats Gracie as a cause rather than an impassioned athlete." Posted Jun 25, 2007	Gracie (2007)	59%
	" *It's a variation of Cyrano De Bergerac* with its own comic sensibility.*" Posted Jun 25, 2007*	Ratatouille (2007)	95%
	" It's when the momentum remains inescapable that it's really on." Posted Jun 25, 2007	1408 (2007)	78%
	" It's the best looking of the bunch. For a movie that's all posteur, that counts for a lot." Posted Jun 22, 2007	Ocean's Thirteen (2007)	70%
	" Even the downbeat segments are optimistic, and that's what unifies them." Posted Jun 22, 2007	Paris, Je T'aime (2007)	85%
	" Roth is covering his tracks from the typical accusations of slasher film misogyny, but his feminist angle just serves as jokey sexual fear." Posted Jun 22, 2007	Hostel: Part II (2007)	45%
	" *Relocating with her single father to the land of Hollywood wealth, Nancy Drew* just plays as a developmentally stunted version of Veronica Mars.*" Posted Jun 22, 2007*	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
	" It takes no risks, so it leads nowhere." Posted Jun 22, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
	" Rise is middling, but not by doing things the wrong way. It's not wild enough." Posted Jun 4, 2007	Rise (2006)	n/a
	" Its best and worst attribute is how nice it is." Posted Jun 4, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
	" *The sequel hasn't been imagined as the next level with which to bring Shrek. It's just more of the same, served a little colder." Posted Jun 4, 2007*	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
	" Earl Brooks is presented as an admirable killer, because he's an upperclass, educated white man." Posted Jun 4, 2007	Mr. Brooks (2007)	56%
	" The sadistic silliness is given a heavy-hand." Posted Jun 4, 2007	Severance (2007)	65%
	" It falls prey to the usual pessimism-as-realism crutch (most notable in its silly final 10 second coda), but director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo works in some real ideas along the way." Posted Jun 4, 2007	28 Weeks Later (2007)	71%
	" Friedkin gets political in exposing the value of dependence for people who believe they can depend on very little." Posted Jun 4, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
	" It features good story and visual concepts in its first 75 minutes, before opting for the usual bloated indulgence." Posted Jun 4, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
	" It's a small film, but a rewarding one." Posted May 7, 2007	Lucky You (2007)	28%
	" *It would be more suited as a Fantastic Four* sequel.*" Posted May 7, 2007*	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	61%
	" The comedy is disposable because Ferrell and Heder don't bother being recognizably human." Posted Apr 25, 2007	Blades of Glory (2007)	69%
	" Von Donnersmarck moves certain sequences too slowly, but matches his tightest suspense with human intrigue." Posted Apr 25, 2007	The Lives of Others (2006)	93%
	" This shrine to Disney is really the world's most overstuffed Hanna-Barbera cartoon, right down to its Gargamel-patterned villain." Posted Apr 25, 2007	Meet the Robinsons (2007)	66%
	" Between effects-shots is a whole movie of people discussing how fascinating things are." Posted Apr 25, 2007	The Reaping (2007)	8%
	" The slapstick isn't sadistic. But that doesn't make this sequel's propensity of scenes where animals attack Nick, and moments where he learns the difference between a house and a home, more than inoffensive." Posted Apr 25, 2007	Are We Done Yet? (2007)	8%
