2016: Obama's America (2012) 27% 1.5/5 EDIT “Conservatives have Dinesh D'Souza. Liberals have Michael Moore. We all lose.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 24, 2012 Full Review The Island President (2011) 98% 4/5 EDIT “It's a gut punch to every single person who has come to the wholly depressing conclusion that the world our grandparents enjoyed may not exist for our children.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 2, 2012 Full Review This Is Not a Film (2010) 97% 5/5 EDIT “This Is Not A Film and A Separation masterfully show Iranians that are full of the same passions, concerns and desires as the rest of the world-an incredibly important accomplishment now that the drumbeat to war grows louder each day.” – Boxoffice Magazine Feb 29, 2012 Full Review You Don't Like the Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo (2010) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Filmmakers Luc Côté and Patricio Henriquez don't use flashy tricks to tug heartstrings-instead they put faith in the story they're telling. And what a story it is.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 28, 2011 Full Review Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) 21% 2/5 EDIT “A post-apocalyptic zombie flick featuring zombies that aren't very terrifying and doom-and-gloom vibes that lack any real edge.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 10, 2010 Full Review Vampires Suck (2010) 4% 1.5/5 EDIT “Vampires Suck has too much in common with its target. It is a forgettable ploy designed to shamelessly rip money out of teenage wallets before its audience matures and develops a real taste for quality films in the same genre.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 18, 2010 Full Review Remember Me (2010) 26% 3/5 EDIT “Anyone longing to watch Pattinson do his best James Dean will see it in this deliberately paced story set in the summer of 2001.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 8, 2010 Full Review The Final Destination (2009) 28% 2/5 EDIT “The fourth installment in the series is certainly one instance of technology elevating (slightly) what could otherwise have passed for straight-to-DVD fare.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 28, 2009 Full Review G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) 33% 1/5 EDIT “About as hollow as big, dumb action extravaganzas come.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 7, 2009 Full Review Last Chance Harvey (2008) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Thompson is in fine form as usual and watching her and Hoffman go tit-for-tat is a genuine treat.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 5, 2008 Full Review The Foot Fist Way (2006) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Has an irresistible charm and infectious energy.” – Boxoffice Magazine Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Kung Fu Panda (2008) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Even though Panda is one of the last animated flicks that Dreamworks won't be making in 3D it's still very easy on the eyes and it should help to keep the studio in competition this summer with the juggernaut that is Pixar.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 19, 2008 Full Review Sex and the City (2008) 49% 3/5 EDIT “Will give female audiences a jolt of excitement in the same way that seeing Indiana Jones back in action will thrill male audiences this summer.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 19, 2008 Full Review
