Giuliani Time (2005) 84% EDIT “So successful -- the archive being so generous, after all -- at painting Giuliani as an unlikable bully that by the end of the film you're left wondering, Why even bother?” – Slate May 11, 2006 Full Review Night Watch (2004) 59% EDIT “If Night Watch is energetic, it is also frenetic; if neatly plotted, it is also too open-ended, a set-up for the remaining two installments of a trilogy.” – Slate Feb 17, 2006 Full Review The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) 84% EDIT “For a movie about the policing of borders, couldn't this one have maintained a firmer one, between credulity and incredulity? Between seriousness and self-seriousness?” – Slate Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Cache (2005) 89% EDIT “Any work of art that embarrasses us for inclining toward warmth or decency (or, God forbid, humor) ought to be distrusted. On the other hand, I have found myself unable to shake Caché.” – Slate Feb 2, 2006 Full Review Bubble (2005) 72% EDIT “As the plot unfolded along the lines of a conventional melodrama, I couldn't help thinking: In addition to health care and a living wage, don't the working poor deserve makeup, wardrobe, decent lighting, and some heart-skipping drama?” – Slate Jan 27, 2006 Full Review Underworld: Evolution (2006) 17% EDIT “I dare anyone to follow the plot, which manages, like some ill-baked meringue, to be both too light on the surface and too densely clotted underneath.” – Slate Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World (2005) 44% EDIT “All this, to spoof a petty little Hollywood ego? Too inside.” – Slate Jan 19, 2006 Full Review Match Point (2005) 77% EDIT “Match Point is a good movie -- a good, solid movie.” – Slate Jan 3, 2006 Full Review
