Terminator Salvation (2009)

"Definitely a 'summer blockbuster' and has enough great moments in it to outweigh any groaners that it may also have. In fact, the good moments outweigh the bad about 20 to 1."

Burn After Reading (2008)

"Worth viewing if only to see Clooney, McDormand, and Pitt all play what Malkovich's character refers to as a 'league of morons'."

Shrek the Third (2007)

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Primeval (2007)

"Has one of the most misleading ad campaigns in recent memory, but works on a 'popcorn' level. Wait to rent it."

Paul Salfen

Alpha Dog (2007)

"Outstanding work from a young ensemble. Ben Foster steals the show in an over the top performance as an a**kicking, always-in-trouble, speedfreak."

Rocky Balboa (2006)

"Stallone doesn't embarrass himself nor his fans...it's pretty good."

Apocalypto (2006)

Blood Diamond (2006)

Turistas (Paradise Lost) (2006)

"If you remove all the horror aspects of it, it works nicely as a tourism campaign for Brazil. Never has there been a dumber group of travelers; wait to rent it."

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)

"The film might as well be entitled Retarded America, but lumping these idiots in with our mentally challenged population would be an insult."

John Venable

The Prestige (2006)

"The Prestige's magic pales in comparison to other 'magical' films released this year."

Paul Salfen

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Jesus Camp (2006)

Beerfest (2006)

"It's one of those films that looks like it was more fun to make than it is to watch. I wanted it to be great, but it's only good."

John Venable

The Illusionist (2006)

Snakes on a Plane (2006)

The Descent (2006)

"This film, unlike Hostel or Saw, has a gross-out factor that's actually fun."

Paul Salfen

World Trade Center (2006)

John Tucker Must Die (2006)

Lady in the Water (2006)

Little Man (2006)

John Venable

69%

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

John Venable

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)

John Venable

Nacho Libre (2006)

"This would make for a pretty funny short film, but there's too much filler material here. Save this one for a rental if you're a Jack Black fan."

Paul Salfen

The Omen (2006)

"It's well made, but if you've seen the original one, you've seen the best one."
