Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
3/5 82% Drumline (2002) " A sugar-coated Rocky whose valuable messages are forgotten 10 minutes after the last trombone honks." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Dec 13, 2002
3/5 30% All About the Benjamins (2002) " Often is ... an enjoyable if ethically threadbare caper flick." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Mar 14, 2002
3.5/5 21% AVP - Alien Vs. Predator (2004) " Anderson clearly relished making this wonderful, utterly silly film; his heart shows in every drip of slime." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Aug 19, 2004
74% Sherrybaby (2006) " Watching Maggie Gyllenhaal's bare body and battered soul in Laurie Collyer's quietly extraordinary Sherrybaby, you almost get a sense that the actress knows the load that was her star-making turn in Secretary ..." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jan 18, 2007
80% Why We Fight (2006) " If the inducement of despair and disgust is an indicator of artistic achievement, Why We Fight is incredibly successful." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Jul 20, 2006
87% The Proposition (2005) " As directed by music video vet John Hillcoat, Cave's vision of 1880s Australia as outlaw inferno becomes an unforgettable exposed raw nerve of a film." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jun 8, 2006
86% L'Enfant (The Child) (2006) " If it's possible for cinema to be so invisible as to allow us to actually see inside characters -- to be, in short, literary -- this is it." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted May 18, 2006
57% Breakfast on Pluto (2005) " In short, the director has finally found material - - Patrick McCabe's novel, which Jordan adapted - - that unifies his obsessions with politics, the Troubles and the dangerous fragility of machismo." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Jan 6, 2006
87% Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) " Newell not only does Harry Potter right but eclipses the scope, scares and drama of his J.K. Rowling source novel." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Dec 6, 2005
68% North Country (2005) " As hokey and unrealistically optimistic as Josey's victories may play out, we buy them, because the director has made us want to." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Oct 20, 2005
82% Serenity (2005) " In the context of an action cinema driven by false hope, misogyny and sadism, Serenity is an inspiring respite: A major battle is won by someone simply admitting to the truth." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Sep 29, 2005
80% The Aristocrats (2005) " The movie drags after a spell, but it's unforgettably reanimated when Gilbert Gottfried's rendition of the joke teaches us why all this potty-mouthed discourse is important." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Sep 1, 2005
82% Hustle & Flow (2005) " While Brewer's narrative is somewhat slack, and he isn't going to win any awards for camera movement or composition, his film, like his poverty-stunned strivers, grows progressively lovable -- despite (and perhaps because of) its flaws." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Jul 21, 2005
67% Charlie's Angels (2000) " Charlie's Angels is an utterly ridiculous movie, but one that, through sheer pluck, manages to make ridiculousness a redeeming quality." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Jan 1, 2000
78% Requiem for a Dream (2000) " It is one of the few possibly great films in this moribund year." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Jan 1, 2000
4/5 93% Gwoemul (The Host) (2007) " Alternately scary, funny and inspiring, Bong Joon-ho's first-class monster mash is also a scalding rebuke to U.S. interventionism, profiteering and general developing-world opportunism, and a lovely story of familial bonding. In a word, amazing." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Mar 24, 2007
4/5 88% Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing (2006) " While Shut Up works great as music doc, progressive pep rally and neo-Capra triumph tale, it's even better as a bighearted tale of the love between three extraordinary women." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Dec 7, 2006
4/5 69% A Scanner Darkly (2006) " Writer/director Richard Linklater's superbly entertaining/disturbing adaptation of Dick's A Scanner Darkly accomplishes the near-impossible ..." — Las Vegas Weekly
Posted Jul 14, 2006
4/5 93% An Inconvenient Truth (2006) " In a way, Truth is almost critic-proof." — Las Vegas Weekly
Posted Jun 19, 2006
4/5 97% Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) " Smart postmortem of the infamous Ponzi scheme that called itself Enron." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted May 19, 2005
4/5 72% Walk on Water (2005) " It's exhilarating just to witness a wide worldview unspool with such dedicated humanity." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Apr 28, 2005
4/5 63% Stage Beauty (2004) " The film stay[s] with you." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Nov 4, 2004
4/5 96% Raising Victor Vargas (2003) " Raising Victor Vargas is more than a terrific film -- it's a kind one." — Orlando Weekly
Posted May 22, 2003
4/5 77% The Good Thief (2003) " We have another -- no, the best -- of Jordan's valentines to outsider archetypes besmirched by eccentric dreams of beauty and transcendence from a glamorized but fatal low-life milieu." — Orlando Weekly
Posted Apr 24, 2003
4/5 69% Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) " Easily trumping the Clones next door for sheer visual gosh-wow, Spirit's action is coherently kinetic, while the half hand-drawn, half CGI landmark vistas attain a magical, Wyeth-esque register." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted May 23, 2002
4.5/5 48% Saw (2004) " Stunning, terrifying." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Oct 28, 2004
4.5/5 88% A Mighty Wind (2003) " A hilarious film that boasts a world-class joke-per-minute ratio, yet also works as a deeply affecting tragedy." — Orlando Weekly
Posted May 8, 2003
5/5 95% Hero (2004) " What we're seeing here is nothing less than literary ambition given a one-film-only visual syntax." — Baltimore City Paper
Posted Aug 26, 2004
5/5 92% Talk to Her (2002) " A flawlessly realized ramble about love and death, wretchedness turned sublime and vice versa." — Baltimore City Paper
