3.5/5
 
"This is a first rate caper piece elevated by Caine’s effortlessly elegant portrayal." -- Film Threat
Posted Apr 15, 2008
 
Flawless (2007)59%
/
4/5
 
"The movie’s visual style is nothing short of exquisite." -- Film Threat
Posted Feb 19, 2008
 
Persepolis (2007)96%
/
4.5/5
 
"There may be very little that is nice about the people in this ferocious family film from Lumet but it’s awfully nice to see him pull it off this late in the game." -- Film Threat
Posted Jan 1, 2008
 
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)88%
/
4.5/5
 
"It’s a marvel of snappy dialogue and precision timing." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 25, 2007
 
Charlie Wilson's War (2007)82%
/
3/5
 
"The latest from Hedges is in places touching and funny but rarely in the course of its 95 minutes does it look anything remotely like real life." -- Film Threat
Posted Oct 30, 2007
 
Dan in Real Life (2007)66%
/
5/5
 
"The most important film of the year thus far and, more significantly, the most comprehensive, clear-eyed account of the Iraq debacle and the arrogance behind it that we have." -- Film Threat
Posted Oct 16, 2007
 
No End in Sight (2007)94%
/
4/5
 
"For 94 mesmerizing, narratively minimalist minutes Russian born filmmaker Julia Loktev pushes post 9-11 buttons. The result is a masterfully crafted exercise in dread unlike anything you’re likely to have seen before." -- Film Threat
Posted Jul 17, 2007
 
Day Night Day Night (2007)71%
/
3.5/5
 
"It’s a small wonder. When was the last time you saw this much talent lent to the story of a man who discovers what it means to really live only after learning he doesn’t need any help from the hard stuff to kill?" -- Film Threat
Posted Jul 10, 2007
 
You Kill Me (2007)79%
/
2/5
 
"This is one of the most confounding films I’ve ever seen." -- Film Threat
Posted May 22, 2007
 
Year of the Dog (2007)70%
/
3/5
 
"Full speed ahead fun, a rollicking caper romp that hearkens back to a quainter, pre-Ken Lay age when bigtime fraud could actually entail writing books as opposed to merely cooking them." -- Film Threat
Posted Apr 17, 2007
 
The Hoax (2007)85%
/
3/5
 
"The script spends at least as much time exploring the psychologies of the young players and the problems they face at home as it does rallying the audience behind their efforts on the field." -- Film Threat
Posted Apr 14, 2007
 
Friday Night Lights (2004)82%
/
2.5/5
 
"If you’re looking for Rock’s trademark smart-ass wit, you’ll want to look somewhere else." -- Film Threat
Posted Mar 20, 2007
 
I Think I Love My Wife (2007)19%
/
1/5
 
"I've been giving it a great deal of thought and come to the conclusion that the squandering of Diane Keaton's screen legacy is without parallel in the annals of cinema." -- Film Threat
Posted Feb 17, 2007
 
Because I Said So (2007)5%
/
3/5
 
"Eastwood is motivated by such noble sentiment, you want him to pull this off. You root for him to craft something out of all this bloody history and wasted humanity that towers and soars but the picture neither towers nor soars." -- Film Threat
Posted Jan 30, 2007
 
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)91%
/
4/5
 
"A shocking, brilliantly original rumination on the subject of marital rot." -- Film Threat
Posted Sep 26, 2006
 
Gabrielle (2005)75%
/
3/5
 
"You're likely to find this a touching, stirring story even if it has been given the Hollywood treatment." -- Film Threat
Posted Sep 5, 2006
 
Invincible (2006)71%

3.5/5
 
"The picture ranks with the brothers' best mid level output." -- Film Threat

Ladykillers (2004)55%
/
3.5/5
 
"You aren't likely to see a film with more warmth and good humor anytime soon, or one that does more to give feel good filmmaking a good name." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Wimbledon (2004)61%
/
3/5
 
"May just be the most quintessential Steven Spielberg movie Steven Spielberg never made." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)82%
/
3/5
 
"Something less than the sum of its parts, Matchstick Men is a decent film that should have been a considerably better one." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Matchstick Men (2003)82%
/
5/5
 
"There are high-powered opiates that don't pack the psychedelic kick of this cartoon." -- Film Threat

The Triplets of Belleville (2003)94%

Derailed (2005)20%
/
3/5
 
"Until this past Friday, the worst werewolf film ever made was, hairy hands down, Mike Nichols' Wolf. Cursed now assumes that dubious distinction and someone is going to have to try very hard to wrestle it away." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Cursed (2005)17%
/
4/5
 
"This is a major blast of fast-talking, loopily plotted, politically incorrect film fun." -- Film Threat

"Life may or may not be everything it's cracked up to be. This movie most definitely is." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
The Hours (2002)80%
/
3/5
 
"The reality is that Hollywood is such an idea poor place Kaufman tends to get more credit than he deserves for work which only occasionally rises above the level of mind games and showy sleight of hand." -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)94%
/
3.5/5
 
"Offers a frills-free meditation on the many faces of oppression." -- Film Threat

Dirty Pretty Things (2003)94%

"It's Zwick who fails to take care of business here." -- Film Threat

The Last Samurai (2003)65%
/
3/5
 
"Not a great movie but a nice time and a welcome break from the season's nonstop torrent of interchangeable horror films and Ashton Kutcher comedies." -- Film Threat

The Interpreter (2005)58%

1/5
 
"Think Mean Girls rewritten by Joe Piscopo." -- Film Threat

White Chicks (2004)15%

3.5/5
 
"Who would've guessed the guy who gave us Money Talks, Rush Hour and The Family Man had what it takes to realize a thriller as smartly effective as this?" -- Film Threat
Posted Dec 6, 2005
 
Red Dragon (2002)68%
/
2.5/5
 
"What we're treated to is less a story than a series of vignettes." -- Film Threat

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)89%

2.5/5
 
"Destined to rank among the Coens' least memorable achievements." -- Film Threat

Intolerable Cruelty (2003)75%

Cinderella Man (2005)80%
/
3/5
 
"Two For The Money has its rollicking moments and snappy lines but even Pacino can't elevate them into more than a fleetingly juicy treat." -- Film Threat

Two for the Money (2005)21%

The Upside of Anger (2005)74%
/
1/5
 
"Whenever the script's writers can't come up with a funny line for her to say or a comic way to conclude a scene, they have Bullock drop or bump into something. That is, when they don't have her fall down." -- Film Threat
