| The Fog of War | "
'The Fog of War' reveals McNamara to be an intelligent, insightful and sensitive man who was catastrophically wrong about the nature of the conflict that came to define him." Posted Jul 10, 2009 07:56 PM PDT | Dan Lybarger,

| Waltz With Bashir | "
While 'Waltz with Bashir' captures the specifics of the Lebanon campaign, there's something sadly universal about the tales that Folman and the other soldiers recount." Posted Jul 10, 2009 07:51 PM PDT | Dan Lybarger,

| Two Lovers | "
While watching Phoenix mumbling in a stupor on Letterman is perversely entertaining, it's a lot more edifying to watch him give what he says is his final acting performance in director James Gray's 'Two Lovers.'" Posted Jul 10, 2009 07:47 PM PDT | Dan Lybarger,

| Dark Streets | "
A slight musical murder-mystery with style to spare, Dark Streets' problematic narrative is sustained for vast stretches by gorgeous cinematography and a certain smoldering energy." Posted Jul 10, 2009 06:59 PM PDT | Brent Simon,

| Kiss and Tail: Hollywood Jump Off | "
Directed by Thomas Gibson, this damning documentary blows the cover off the practice of dancers trading sex for more face and booty time in rap videos." Posted Jul 9, 2009 06:21 PM PDT | Kam Williams,

A thought-provoking mindbender unfolding in one room and narrowly focused on a grisly, gradually-escalating standoff." Posted Jul 9, 2009 12:11 PM PDT | Kam Williams,

| Watchmen | "
Given the lengthy, intricate, divergent, multilayered, often convoluted nature of the source material, it's a wonder that anyone made it into a live-action movie at all." Posted Jul 9, 2009 10:18 AM PDT | John J. Puccio,

| Van Wilder: Freshman Year | "
...a curious film that can't make up its mind exactly what it wants to be. It lacks any character, any personality, any voice of its own." Posted Jul 8, 2009 07:58 PM PDT | John J. Puccio,

| Watchmen | "
Dr. Manhattan and his huge stimulus package streaking across the universe, history on acid, and glow-in-the-dark guy nudity. Zack and Dave Make A Graphic Movie, in all its darkest and cocky, attention deficit disordered grandeur." Posted Jul 7, 2009 08:23 AM PDT | Prairie Miller,

I often question the taste of the American movie-going public, but I must side with them in this case, as Knowing is a well-made sci-fi thriller." Posted Jul 6, 2009 08:16 PM PDT | Mike Long,

Crowe isn't bad, but this cop-gang-crime-fugitive movie feels like one weird burgoo. Whatever writer-director Frank A. Cappello read about, heard about, saw, imagined, or ran over with his car, he tossed into the stew." Posted Jul 5, 2009 07:25 AM PDT | James Plath,
