The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Although diehard fans of the original should stay far, far away from it, the new Pelham provides a level of engagement that puts it a notch or two above today's standard action-movie fare.” – Orlando Weekly Jun 11, 2009 Full Review The End of America (2008) 80% EDIT “Attempting to transform this kind of polemic into an engaging piece of cinema might seem the height of folly. However, filmmakers Anne Sundberg and Ricki Stern are more than up to the task.” – Orlando Weekly Feb 12, 2009 Full Review This Is England (2006) 93% EDIT “Riveting.” – Orlando Weekly Nov 29, 2007 Full Review Om Shanti Om (2007) 80% 4/5 EDIT “While Om Shanti Om loses steam by its last act, the stylish, smart, hilarious ride to that point is rewarding enough.” – Orlando Weekly Nov 15, 2007 Full Review Martian Child (2007) 35% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Menno Meyjes pulls an engaging film out of the potential claptrap, while also putting across a message about the beauty of nonconformism.” – Orlando Weekly Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Deep Water (2006) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “Deeply researched and compellingly presented, Deep Water is as much about one man's misadventures on the ocean as it is about loneliness, desperation and the danger of dreams.” – Orlando Weekly Oct 25, 2007 Full Review Rendition (2007) 46% 3.5/5 EDIT “By crafting an intricate and engaging story out of this country's most despicable 'weapon' in the war on terror, it's possible that its message may be more well-received than the dozens of damning documentaries that have preceded it.” – Orlando Weekly Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Ira and Abby (2006) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “The group-therapy scene that wraps it up brings those substantial themes together in a way that's uproariously funny.” – Orlando Weekly Oct 11, 2007 Full Review Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath (2006) 3/5 EDIT “While Kaur expends entirely too much of Divided We Fall's energy in expounding upon her feelings and her journey and her questions, when she does manage to make it about someone besides herself or her cousin, she emerges with riveting film.” – Orlando Weekly Sep 27, 2007 Full Review Vanaja (2006) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Written and directed by Rajnesh Domalpalli as his graduate thesis at Columbia University, Vanaja is an engaging and shocking look at class, gender roles and sexuality in rural India.” – Orlando Weekly Sep 27, 2007 Full Review Outsourced (2006) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite its direct, documentary-style title, Outsourced is a fluffy comedy that never sacrifices its lightness for its message. Even more notably, the reverse never happens, either.” – Orlando Weekly Sep 27, 2007 Full Review To Rob a Thief (2007) 64% 3/5 EDIT “Elegant, gentle and often quite hilarious.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 30, 2007 Full Review Snow Cake (2006) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Snow Cake never entertains too much pathos nor does it become overly concerned with making Weaver's character even slightly sympathetic; her uncensored forthrightness is as refreshingly humane as it is hilarious.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 23, 2007 Full Review Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007) 50% EDIT “A painfully unfunny series of redundant and half-measured physical gags are strung together like distracting lights along an ugly clothesline of a 'plot' that really is hardly worth repeating.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 23, 2007 Full Review The Ten (2007) 35% 3.5/5 EDIT “As ridiculous as it is uproariously funny.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 23, 2007 Full Review Interview (2007) 58% 3/5 EDIT “Buscemi and Miller should be roundly praised for the acting chops they display in this thriller.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 18, 2007 Full Review Arctic Tale (2007) 60% 1/5 EDIT “Child-pandering and overly anthropomorphized, Arctic Tale is a blatant cash-grab by National Geographic Films.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 18, 2007 Full Review The Last Legion (2007) 15% 2.5/5 EDIT “The many faults of The Last Legion give way to guilt-free popcorn thrills.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 18, 2007 Full Review The Invasion (2007) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Heartless, predictable and well worth avoiding.” – Orlando Weekly Aug 16, 2007 Full Review Paprika (2006) 87% 2.5/5 EDIT “Visually fantastic, logically flawed and incredibly dull. Just like your friend's dreams.” – Orlando Weekly Jul 13, 2007 Full Review Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Engaging and beautiful.” – Orlando Weekly Jul 12, 2007 Full Review Joshua (2007) 61% 2.5/5 EDIT “The 'horror' here is dosed with humor and false starts that keep it remarkably and deceptively light.” – Orlando Weekly Jul 12, 2007 Full Review You Kill Me (2007) 79% 2.5/4 EDIT “[Leoni's] collaboration with Kingsley does provide moments of comedic excellence. Too bad those moments donâ(TM)t add up to enough to save the film from its ponderous messaging.” – Orlando Weekly Jul 12, 2007 Full Review Ratatouille (2007) 96% 2.5/5 EDIT “Beyond the stunning animation (they finally got hair right!), there's little to recommend besides the fact that it's a touch better than Shrek the Third.” – Orlando Weekly Jun 28, 2007 Full Review Evening (2007) 28% 4.5/5 EDIT “A substantial and engrossing film.” – Orlando Weekly Jun 28, 2007 Full Review
