4/5	100%	Midnight Traveler (2019)	Viewers of Fazili's rewarding film may be comparatively few, but Midnight Traveller offers an indelible record of how inhumanity continues to flourish in the early 21st century. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 13, 2020
3/5	21%	Playing with Fire (2019)	A simple, silly tale of macho firefighters who learn to stop worrying and love three adorable moppets, it's corny but easily digestible fare. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 20, 2019
1/5	37%	6 Underground (2019)	An expensive, incoherent dud that'll try the patience of any viewer. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 13, 2019
3/5	33%	StarDog and TurboCat (2019)	The backdrops and character designs are fairly basic, but there's a smattering of wit that should help the film find its family audience. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 3, 2019
3/5	91%	The Wolf's Call (Le chant du loup) (2019)	The Wolf's Call nails the kind of hard-nosed heroism that audiences may well be missing. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 3, 2019
4/5	80%	The Amazing Johnathan Documentary (2019)	Timely, infuriating and empathetic, Berman's personable account of a film gone wrong makes for an engrossing diversion into practical magic. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 18, 2019
3/5	44%	The Addams Family (2019)	With a decent voice cast and a style that pays homage to the original drawings, The Addams Family passes muster as a disconcertingly cheerful, family-friendly romp. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 21, 2019
4/5	100%	Mystify: Michael Hutchence (2020)	Mystify can only be a cautionary tale, yet there's plenty of evidence that Hutchence was an electrifying performer in his prime. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 14, 2019
4/5	76%	Hotel Mumbai (2019)	Hotel Mumbai does an effective job of forcing the audience to imagine what it feels like to be on the end of the barrel of a gun. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 25, 2019
3/5	51%	The Sun Is Also a Star (2019)	There are flaws that need to be overlooked, but Russo-Young's valentine to young love deserves to draw a bigger crowd... appealing as it does to romantics of all races and ages. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 5, 2019
3/5	No Score Yet	Birds of a Feather (Manou the Swift) (2019)	Small children should dig its simple, well-crafted coming-of-age story, set in the world of our feathered friends. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 23, 2019
1/5	32%	The Intruder (2019)	Despite a hot-button topic, The Intruder's tendency toward exploitation and tin ear for racial politics makes it one to avoid. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 22, 2019
2/5	No Score Yet	The Queen's Corgi (2019)	Kids are unlikely to take offence, but concerned adults may well feel that the tasteless humour is not worth the awkward questions afterwards. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 2, 2019
3/5	60%	Mrs. Lowry & Son (2019)	Mrs Lowry & Son features a script by Martyn Hesford that feels more like a radio or stage play; without any fresh insight to invigorate the clichés of downtrodden artistic lives, the characters feel both familiar and stale. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 1, 2019
4/5	86%	We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2019)	Careful writing and production captures the deceptive tone of Jackson's opaque prose, and delivering the complex sentiments of one of her most personal books intact deserves the highest of commendations. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 28, 2019
	27%	UglyDolls (2019)	UglyDolls strives too hard to be cute, and the result can sometimes be a strain to watch. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 21, 2019
2/5	95%	Boyz in the Wood (2019)	Poorly scripted and casually made, Doff's film is a lame stab at comedy horror that offers precious little of either commodity. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 20, 2019
2/5	57%	Brightburn (2019)	Brightburn's coming-of-age story plays like Superman fused with Carrie but, even with some eye-catching effects, the result is less than luminous. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 17, 2019
4/5	91%	Gloria Bell (2019)	In Gloria Bell, Moore gives one of her most sympathetic performances, ringing true as a mature, gutsy woman who won't let her age, or the failings of men, define her. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 3, 2019
2/5	52%	Four Brothers (2005)	Singleton. bereft of serious ideas if not visceral talent. now appears to have nothing more to offer than plenty of bang for your buck. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
2/5	9%	Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)	Like Bigalow's unfortunate clients, you'd do better to save your money for something classier. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
3/5	87%	Howl's Moving Castle (2005)	Despite Miyazaki's undoubted gifts for story, character and cute animation, the diverse cultural agendas jar badly. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
2/5	15%	Revolver (2005)	Its central chess-game conceit is over-convoluted and infuriating, finally sliding into risible silliness in the last 20 minutes. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
3/5	No Score Yet	Arsene Lupin (2004)	Dark, sexy, violent and consistently loopy, Arséne Lupin is a welcome alternative to generic comic book Hollywood action. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
2/5	13%	The Honeymooners (2005)	The Honeymooners isn't awful, but it is pure sitcom fodder. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
3/5	48%	Bad News Bears (2005)	Bad News Bears finds Linklater marking time professionally enough -- and while hardly essential viewing, it's unpretentious, amoral fun. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 25, 2019
4/5	87%	3-Iron (2004)	Oddly, 3-Iron is a violent yet serene meditation on the transitory nature of human existence. A work of genuine poetry, it's a cinematic hole in one. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 25, 2019
1/5	41%	Kicking & Screaming (2005)	You may have to be dragged kicking and screaming to see this silly kiddie footie flick. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 25, 2019
4/5	54%	Madagascar (2005)	Madagascar's surface fluffiness conceals a hard-boiled philosophical center as it offers a trenchant examination of social Darwinism. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 24, 2019
2/5	41%	A Lot Like Love (2005)	Although A Lot Like Love is advertised like a generic teen comedy, its failure to provide [Ashton Kutcher] with his fourth consecutive U.S. number one reflects the film's avoidance of pratfall-style gags in favor of slushy romantic sentiment. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 24, 2019
3/5	81%	Friday Night Lights (2004)	With Billy Bob Thornton's garrulous Coach Gary Gaines masterminding every play, you'll get caught up in the action even if you can't tell your 'first-and-down' from your 'time-out.' - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 24, 2019
1/5	9%	Man of the House (2005)	This isn't old school; it's just old s---. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
3/5	53%	Spanglish (2004)	Spanglish eventually comes off as compromised and awkward as its hybrid title suggests. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
2/5	64%	Coach Carter (2005)	Despite the attraction of fluently filmed basketball sequences, director Thomas Carter's simplistic approach to the social and educational issues involved makes this vacuous MTV-produced movie fall well short of the basket. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
3/5	39%	Meet the Fockers (2004)	Dodging any aspirations to satire or drama, Meet the Fockers is an intricately wrought, barely credible sitcom, but it's also as gratingly one note as a whoopee cushion. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
2/5	41%	Ladder 49 (2004)	Gail Gilchriest's witless script leaves Phoenix with little to do but flex his muscles, while Travolta rarely steps outside the realms of cliché in his role as a supposed mentor figure. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
3/5	49%	Vanity Fair (2004)	Hardly high-drama, but it's gently satirical and arguably represents the spirit of Thackeray's mischievous attitude to high society better than Kubrick's overwrought Barry Lyndon. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
4/5	68%	Closer (2004)	For all its stunt casting and knee-jerk sexual frankness, Closer gives an underlying resonance to an emotional world that is normally the preserve of glossy soap operas. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 23, 2019
1/5	15%	Sleepover (2004)	Little more than a hurried photocopy of the far superior Lindsay Lohan vehicle Mean Girls. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 22, 2019
1/5	7%	Surviving Christmas (2004)	Tasteless, miserable and utterly flaccid, Surviving Christmas truly lives up to its reputation as the last turkey in the shop. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 22, 2019
2/5	28%	The Prince & Me (2004)	A glibbest of royalty themed romantic comedies... Standard teenage wish-fulfillment slop. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 17, 2019
1/5	4%	Godsend (2003)	Perhaps it's appropriate that a horror flick about cloning should be a derivative affair... - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 17, 2019
3/5	75%	The Cat's Meow (2001)	The Cat's Meow is a spiky, if unexciting return to form for Bogdanovich. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 17, 2019
3/5	34%	Wonder Park (2019)	A slight but rewardingly bittersweet experience. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 1, 2019
2/5	84%	The Vanishing (2019)	The profile of both subject and stars promises a far more interesting experience than the drab final product, which takes a convoluted route towards a dull denouement that the audience already knows. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 25, 2019
3/5	42%	The Prodigy (2019)	Without rewriting the book on horror, The Prodigy brings welcome restraint to a potentially silly story. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 12, 2019
3/5	91%	The Kindergarten Teacher (2018)	It's to Colangelo and Gyllenhaal's credit that The Kindergarten Teacher stays grounded even as its protagonist flies off the rails. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 4, 2019
4/5	97%	Beats (2019)	Ortega and Macdonald's performances are so vivid that it's a shame that the black and white photography may well relegate this drama to cult status; there's nothing about the setting that merits such a deliberately arty presentation. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 4, 2019
2/5	27%	The Aftermath (2019)	The cliches featured in director James Kent's adaptation of Rhidian Brook's novel are more dog-eared than a ration book. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 27, 2019
2/5	22%	Miss Bala (2019)	A tough, female-led thriller from the director of Twilight sounds great on paper; unfortunately, the lack of nous in Miss Bala's politics runs the film smack into a big brick wall. - The List EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 25, 2019
