About Schmidt (2002) |
"Nicholson himself has done all you could ask: This is easily his strongest work since he did Reds and The Border back-to-back 20 years ago." |

Better Luck Tomorrow (2003) |
"Though it doesn't fully transcend its small budget (the lighting is dingy), the story feels rooted in something more solid than prefab posturing." |
John Powers |

Bowling for Columbine (2002) |
"Although he'd have made a crackerjack ad man, [Moore's] a slipshod filmmaker, and the movie quickly collapses, burying its subject beneath bumper-sticker rehashes of received ideas." |

Hustle & Flow (2005) |
"What's missing in this self-proclaimed story of redemption, though, is something other than a fairy-tale finale. It's the sense that the filmmaker understands the consequences of exploiting women even if his protagonist doesn't." |

Insomnia (2002) |

Punch-Drunk Love (2002) |
"While it would be stretching it to say that Sandler gives a great performance, he brings Barry alive with a shtick-free, often soulful piece of acting that expands and deepens our sense of his persona." |
