Rating	Movie	Review	Critic

Fresh 3/5	Prophecy	" Silly but undeniably gripping in parts with a fine sense of pace, creepy atmosphere and disturbing implications of mankind-malfeasance affecting their fellow man." Posted Nov 27, 2009 08:08 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1.5/5	Dark Corners	" Well-cast but hopelessly hoary horror tale that confuses complicatedness with complexity." Posted Nov 27, 2009 08:00 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1.5/5	Hidden Agenda	" Lukewarm thriller makes very little sense and isn't helped by another mediocre performance from Kevin Dillon." Posted Nov 21, 2009 06:23 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 3.5/4	Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans	" No quote available." Posted Nov 20, 2009 02:37 PM PST	Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Rotten 0/5	Blood Relations	" Unspeakably awful horror flick that's atrociously made and as boring as an insurance seminar. Really rock-bottom, inept trash." Posted Nov 20, 2009 01:31 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 2/5	The Haunting in Connecticut	" Sporadically scary but relies too much on old cliches and not enough on distinctive ingenuity." Posted Nov 16, 2009 07:06 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 4/5	Beyond a Reasonable Doubt	" While implausible, the film is mammothly entertaining with nail-biting suspense and a honey of a twist ending courtesy of the underrated Peter Hyams." Posted Nov 14, 2009 12:10 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 3.5/5	Fist of Honor	" Surprisingly entertaining action pic that's briskly paced, colorfully directed, and wonderfully acted by leading man Sam Jones." Posted Nov 14, 2009 07:39 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 3/4	Pirate Radio	" No quote available." Posted Nov 12, 2009 09:32 PM PST	Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Fresh 3.5/4	The Messenger	" No quote available." Posted Nov 12, 2009 09:31 PM PST	Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Rotten 1/5	Drag Me To Hell	" Lohman's typically superb but the material just isn't there and the execution is disappointingly lackadaisical by the hit-and-miss Raimi." Posted Nov 12, 2009 08:41 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 4.5/5	Light Sleeper	" Despite a wobbly final-third, this is a richly-observed meditation on loneliness and hope mixed with affecting human observences. Dafoe is simply phenomenal." Posted Nov 10, 2009 01:50 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 0/5	Hardwired	" Dreadful futuristic thriller is terribly plotted, never exciting, and a showcase for yet another underwhelming Gooding, Jr. performance." Posted Nov 10, 2009 01:01 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1.5/5	La Linea	" Mediocre plotting and uninspired directing render this a cinematic turkey with the talents of Liotta and Garcia woefully wasted." Posted Nov 10, 2009 12:57 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 2/5	The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3	" It's not that it isn't the superb original, but that it's completely mechanical minus wit and genuine suspense." Posted Nov 9, 2009 01:53 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh	The Messenger	" Grief is universal, and watching soldiers deal with complex emotions seems to me universal too." Posted Nov 9, 2009 12:33 AM PST	Luke Y. Thompson, LYTRules.com
Fresh	Looking for Eric	" It's not a total 180 -- there is still working-class despair, and a fair share of violence, some of it related to football and guns. But it leaves you with a smile on your face, for the right reasons." Posted Nov 9, 2009 12:30 AM PST	Luke Y. Thompson, LYTRules.com
Rotten 0/5	Mortuary Academy	" There's not a laugh in sight in this abysmally inefficient comedic crock that's as entertaining as a tax audit." Posted Nov 7, 2009 08:59 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 3.5/5	Jesse Stone: Sea Change	" The best of this mostly-middling series, it's got a decent story and halfway-involving characterizations." Posted Nov 6, 2009 10:14 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1.5/5	Cheaper to Keep Her	" Despite Mac Davis's immensely appealing performance the film is shoddy in both the writing and directing departments and offers up only a smidgen of genuine laughs." Posted Nov 6, 2009 08:00 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1/5	Snow Angels	" Another David Gordon Green failure with smugness, dramatic squareness, and failed eccentricity at each and every turn." Posted Nov 5, 2009 12:50 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 2/5	Relentless 2 - Dead On	" Some interesting plotting and fine performances can't make up for a lack of immediacy and rather lackluster execution." Posted Nov 5, 2009 08:26 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1/5	The Imagemaker	" Stale and overcomplicated, its entertainment value is low what with the who-cares plotting and totally uninteresting characters." Posted Nov 4, 2009 06:39 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Rotten 1/5	Someone to Watch Over Me	" Nonsensical scripting, leaden directing, pallid characters, and absolutely zero in the dramatic and erotic departments." Posted Nov 2, 2009 07:42 AM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
Fresh 3.5/5	Taking Care of Business	" Overlong and stretches its central premise a bit thin, it's still bouncy and amusing enough with both Belushi and Grodin outstanding." Posted Nov 1, 2009 03:01 PM PST	Jack Sommersby, eFilmCritic.com
