	"The film is paced and edited like a news special, and in fact, there is no indication in the film as to whether any of its disparate sections are 'real.'" Posted Jun 21, 2006	The Road to Guantanamo (2006)	86%
	"For all its problems and incoherence, 'Nine Songs' is both original and daring. It's worth a dozen 'better' films. " Posted Jul 21, 2005	9 Songs (2005)	25%

	"The tears...generated feel earned rather than forced; it's as good a fiction film on the subject as can be imagined." Posted Aug 30, 2004	Rosenstrasse (2004)	56%
	"It�s tidy in all the least important ways, with all the questions that don�t demand answers explained and all those that do left open." Posted Apr 22, 2004	The United States of Leland (2004)	32%
	"A modernist horror film infused with the spirit of the silent avant garde" Posted Oct 31, 2003	Eyes Without a Face (1959)	97%
	"A film so chic you should see it right now, because it will start looking dated sometime next week." Posted Sep 18, 2003	Demonlover (2003)	48%
	"Its mystery resonates long after the film ends." Posted Sep 7, 2003	Alice et Martin (1998)	67%
	"'The Magdalene Sisters' suggests Dickens as reimagined by Kafka." Posted Aug 1, 2003	The Magdalene Sisters (2003)	90%
	"There's more vitality, more reckless love of the cinema, in any one scene than in a dozen current films." Posted Jul 3, 2003	A Woman Is a Woman (1960)	86%
	"Clever, formally inventive and so respectful of its source material that it's dead on the screen" Posted Jun 19, 2003	Hulk (2003)	61%
	"Awesome work: ineffable, elusive, yet inexplicably powerful" Posted Apr 29, 2003	Cremaster 3 (2002)	62%
	"A good cop movie that hints at how much more it could have been." Posted Feb 25, 2003	Dark Blue (2003)	57%

	"Godard has pared down his extravagances into a densely concentrated, resonant simplicity." Posted Sep 5, 2002	In Praise of Love (2001)	52%
	"State of the art Hollywood genre filmmaking: impersonal, efficient and exciting." Posted Jun 14, 2002	The Bourne Identity (2002)	83%
	"Recoing is an astonishing actor, capable of making scenes in which nothing at all happens mesmerizing." Posted Apr 16, 2002	Time Out (2002)	95%
	"[Kidman's performance turns] Amen�bar's simple genre piece into a suggestive fairy tale meditation on mothers and their children." Posted Apr 2, 2002	The Others (2001)	83%
	"There's real power in the way Y Tu Mama Tambien works within the most pandering and trivial of genres, accepting its conventions before exploding them, moving from flatulence jokes to a final act that's by turns shocking and devastating." Posted Mar 14, 2002	Y Tu Mama Tambien (2002)	91%
N/A	"culturevulture.net's Ten Best Films of 2001" Posted Dec 28, 2001	2001 Year-in-Review (2001)	n/a

	"'Who's On First?' in a corpse-riddled trench, with moral culpability for a genocidal civil war rather than the identity of a first baseman as the punchline. A staggering debut." Posted Dec 7, 2001	No Man's Land (2001)	93%

9/10	"*There's nothing funny at all in the relentless final hour of Decline of Western Civilization III, just grim episodes in the lives of abandoned children." Posted Mar 22, 2001*	The Decline of Western Civilization III (1998)	100%
8/10	"Both a return to form and a heartening attempt to move beyond Jarmusch's increasingly restrictive formal style." Posted Mar 18, 2001	Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)	81%
5/10	"A good story, undermined by its telling." Posted Mar 18, 2001	Waking the Dead (2000)	52%
4/10	"Plodding, dull and endless at a short 89 minutes." Posted Mar 18, 2001	Where the Money Is (2000)	44%
9/10	"One can pay it no greater compliment than to say that it is worthy of its subject." Posted Mar 18, 2001	The Filth and the Fury (1999)	94%
8/10	"An entertaining comedy that far surpasses his previous American films." Posted Mar 18, 2001	Shanghai Noon (2000)	78%
