Apocalypto (2006) |

Art School Confidential (2006) |

Black White + Gray: A Portrait Of Sam Wagstaff And Robert Mapplethorpe (2007) |

Freshman Orientation (2007) |

"A genderbending teensploit turning on a clever twist of the genre's trademark theme. For while most makeover movies feature a female making herself more attractive, this flick has a male deliberately doing the opposite." | |

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007) |

"A romantic comedy trading on Woody Allen's trademark themes, except substituting Chicago for New York as a backdrop and as the cinematic source of its inspiration. Too bad comedienne Sarah Silverman simply is no Diane Keaton. La-di-da... la-di-da..." | |
