|---|---|---|---|
| B+ | 46% | Why Did I Get Married? (2007) |
Watching Married isn't just a helluva lot more fun than reading a self-help, it's a helluva lot more enlightening, too.‐ E! Online

| B+ | 55% | Mr. Brooks (2007) |
There is some refreshingly good, old-fashioned storytelling in this movie.‐ E! Online

|
| B+ | 90% | Waitress (2007) |
You'll also walk away with a rekindled admiration for Sisto, a yearning to see Hines do more indie work and a painful pang that director Shelly, who was murdered in Manhattan last year, won't be making any more movies this good -- or at all.‐ E! Online

| B | 19% | The Ex (2007) |
If you're not a fan of either Bateman or Braff, then nothing's going to save this muddled comedy for you. Their sparks are all that keep it going.‐ E! Online

| B | 2% | Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) |
Yeah, the plot is cheesy, but I like Velveeta every now and then.‐ E! Online

| C+ | 48% | Lonely Hearts (2006) |
An A-list cast in B-movie territory is fun, but the lurid story is, sadly, as taut as a pool of fresh, gushing blood.‐ E! Online

| C+ | 38% | Firehouse Dog (2007) |
Won't go down in the books as one of the great canine movies of all time. And it would be far more enjoyable with commercial breaks.‐ E! Online

| A- | 54% | The Last Mimzy (2007) |
Beautifully crafted, ardently unsentimental story. Don't be afraid of the child stars -- they're amazingly un-Fanning.‐ E! Online

| C | 8% | Premonition (2007) |
Premonition could have been Memento on estrogen. Instead, it's too poorly paced and ultimately too antifeminist to air on Lifetime.‐ E! Online

| A- | 66% | Black Snake Moan (2007) |
Moan offers that rare cinematic escape into another dimension. When the lights come up, make sure you know of a blues bar nearby. You're not gonna be ready for the ho-hum of the real world.‐ E! Online

| B+ | 84% | Breach (2007) |
Tense, understated and often funny spy thriller about a real-life CIA traitor.‐ E! Online

|
| A | 46% | Bobby (2006) |
With so many movies winking and aiming for clever, Bobby arrives sopping wet with nostalgia and earnestness.‐ E! Online

|
| C+ | 72% | Stranger Than Fiction (2006) |
Much as it strives to be an intelligent story about intelligent people, Stranger Than Fiction is basically Adaptation for Dummies.‐ E! Online

| D+ | 31% | Running With Scissors (2006) |
Director/writer Ryan Murphy covets all things unconventional and eccentric, but when you watch this film, you just feel embarrassed for him.‐ E! Online

|
| A- | 80% | Little Children (2006) |
Finally, here's a film that embraces human nature instead of twisting it into something ridiculously palatable.‐ E! Online

| B- | 19% | 10th & Wolf (2006) |
You get to laugh, see some blood and even get choked up a couple of times. Not too shabby, eh?‐ E! Online

|
| C | 27% | Trust the Man (2006) |
Trust isn't quite a movie. It's more like a gigantic tidbit, a Tic Tac of a film, minus the minty sensation -- minus any real sensation, in fact.‐ E! Online

| F | 37% | Accepted (2006) |
So messy that it feels like it was peeled off the floor of a bathroom stall. It's moldy and cold. Nobody smart is anywhere in sight.‐ E! Online

| B+ | 71% | Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) |
Will Ferrell shines as ego-driven, fast-driving, endorsement-lovin' Nascar driver/buffoon Ricky Bobby.‐ E! Online
