The Joneses (2009) 61% 3/5 EDIT “Borte supports his jewel of a story idea with dead-on casting, stunning images and product placement that's intentionally heavy-handed.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 8, 2010 Full Review Shrink (2009) 27% 3/5 EDIT “As many facile conclusions as moments of wry humor.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 24, 2009 Full Review Stephanie Daley (2006) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “In addition to the two female leads, filmmaker Brougher does exceptionally commendable work.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 20, 2007 Full Review Puccini for Beginners (2006) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Perhaps more problematic than the film's derivative nature -- with plot points and dialogue borrowing somewhat from Sex and the City and rather heavily from Woody Allen -- is the fact that the film is just not funny.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 2, 2007 Full Review Alpha Dog (2006) 54% 3/4 EDIT “What starts off as another seeming teenboy-targeted flick celebrating would-be gangbangers becomes a more interesting docudrama about a kidnapping turned tragic in Nick Cassavetes's Alpha Dog.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Off the Black (2006) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Nick Nolte delivers an unexpectedly moving turn in Off the Black, James Ponsoldt's baseball-themed story of regret and redemption.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 8, 2006 Full Review Flannel Pajamas (2006) 51% 3.5/5 EDIT “An astute and accurate-feeling account of the process of falling madly in -- and heartbreakingly out -- of love.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 17, 2006 Full Review The Bridge (2006) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “Despite its best intentions, however, The Bridge is ultimately only able to raise questions, failing to provide an avenue for a deeper exploration of the taboo subject.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 30, 2006 Full Review Wrestling With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner (2006) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Although the analysis is far from deep, Mock's film succeeds as an above-average introduction to the playwright, especially to an audience unfamiliar with his work.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 6, 2006 Full Review The Science of Sleep (2006) 71% 4/5 EDIT “A richly imaginative and enchantingly playful work of onscreen art, The Science of Sleep is not so much a straightforward narrative as it is a pastiche of fanciful reveries, brightly-colored visuals and childlike innocence personified.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 14, 2006 Full Review Man Push Cart (2005) 89% 3/5 EDIT “The slower and minimalist pacing, like many of Man Push Cart's formal conventions, adds another dimension to the sorrow at the true heart of the film.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 13, 2006 Full Review The Illusionist (2006) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “Resonates as more spectacle than substance, despite the notable star wattage powering the evidently big-budget feature film.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 29, 2006 Full Review Strangers With Candy (2005) 51% 3.5/5 EDIT “At once wholly silly and delectably bizarre.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 3, 2006 Full Review Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006) 66% EDIT “This existential tale about an afterworld exclusively for suicide victims and a handful of newcomers attempting to navigate the landscape pulsates originality through its uncanny way of incorporating the familiar into the offbeat.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2006 Full Review Half Nelson (2006) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Never overly dramatic or obviously sentimental, Half Nelson is a well-made study of imperfect individuals doing their best to not only survive, but to interact meaningfully with others around them.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2006 Full Review The Night Listener (2006) 40% 3/5 EDIT “The thriller is relatively consistent at maintaining the suspense and dramatic tension that made the original work of fiction so compelling to the celebrated writer's loyal group of fans.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2006 Full Review Little Miss Sunshine (2006) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Shrewdly balancing the ironies of the morbid inclinations of the film's Hoover clan and an underlying tenderness that steers away from obvious sentimentality, Michael Arndt's script shines with the support of the superb cast.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2006 Full Review Come Early Morning (2006) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Come Early Morning is anchored by a deep affection for its very anti-urban locale and an authentic attempt to capture the people populating the milieu.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2006 Full Review Art School Confidential (2006) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “Art School Confidential's various plotlines never quite gel to form a cohesive whole.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 5, 2006 Full Review Friends With Money (2006) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Friends With Money offers a more engaging and nuanced plotline than usually associated with run-of-the-mill chick flicks.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 7, 2006 Full Review Lucky Number Slevin (2006) 52% 2.5/4 EDIT “Lucky Number Slevin, boosted as it is by a serious A-list ensemble cast and a heavy dose of intrigue, crosses the unfortunate line between clever and pretentious, rendering itself tiresome long before its heavily built-up denouement.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 7, 2006 Full Review Neil Young: Heart of Gold (2006) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “The concert film's unifying force is, of course, Neil Young himself.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 18, 2006 Full Review The Squid and the Whale (2005) 91% 4/5 EDIT “An insightful presentation of everyday tragedy.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 12, 2005 Full Review The Matador (2005) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Manages to transcend the cliches of its basic plotline on the strength of the character-acting so richly developed by the film's two stars.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 12, 2005 Full Review The Chumscrubber (2005) 37% 2.5/5 EDIT “An uninspired satire on sanitized suburban life.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 5, 2005 Full Review
