"Rubbish so pretentious it would make the folks behind Crash begin to blush."
Posted Jan 31, 2007
 
Babel (2006)68%
/
9/10
 
"A dark fairy tale that only Guillermo del Toro could bring to life. The screenwriter/director can do no wrong."
Posted Jan 28, 2007
 
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)96%

7/10
 
"You can't help but be taken by Mirren's faultless performance. Entranced by her every nuance. In awe of her very artistry as an actress."
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
The Queen (2006)97%

5/10
 
"A nostalgic rush-job filmed for a quick buck."
Posted Jan 25, 2007
 
Rocky Balboa (2006)76%

"A poorly written film with poorly written songs and almost no character development."

"Letters from Iwo Jima takes no sides, takes no prisoners and will hopefully take home a handful of Oscars."

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)91%

7/10
 
"Makes the first two look about as intimidating as a child's six piece jigsaw puzzle. This is for the hardcore horror fan and for the hardcore horror fan only."
Posted Oct 27, 2006
 
Saw III (2006)27%
/
9/10
 
"Martin Scorsese must have missed the memo stating that Hollywood movies were being dumbed down for mass audiences. The director has created one of the best films of the year, guaranteed to keep audiences on their toes."
Posted Oct 8, 2006
 
The Departed (2006)92%

World Trade Center (2006)70%
/
8/10
 
"One of the scariest horror movies of the past 20 years. Would do Wes Craven, George A. Romero and James Whale proud."

The Descent (2006)85%

"Michael Mann must have mistaken neon lights, awkward sex scenes and bad pop songs for a good movie."
Posted Jul 27, 2006
 
Miami Vice (2006)48%
/
3/10
 
"With Monster House already being presented in 3-D at theaters worldwide, there isn't a single reason to recommend The Ant Bully."

The Ant Bully (2006)63%

8/10
 
"The key to the film's success is the pairing of [Scarlett] Johansson and [Woody] Allen as ham-handed investigative journalists. Johansson brings out the funny in Allen like nobody since Diane Keaton."

"Don't let this one pass you by on the big-screen. It's movie magic. The kind many of us thought died many summers ago."

"It's lucky for human actors that canines can't win Academy Awards, because, if they could, the dogs in Eight Below would sweep next year's Oscars."

"Capote is the movie that will make Philip Seymour Hoffman a star, while posthumously turning the man it was named after into a monster."

The Constant Gardener (2005)84%

8/10
 
"An admirable piece of work that takes a bold stand -- not just against events of the past, but events of the present. Hopefully, in the process, it can save the future."

"Steven Spielberg should stop worrying about winning shiny statues and start focusing on creating good films. Maybe then he'd deserve to take home another trophy or two."

"[Mike] Newell turns the spine-tingling and well-crafted world J.K. Rowling created for the novel into a lump of flat banality."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)89%

Zathura (2005)76%

"Where is it written that offbeat movies don't belong outside of art house theaters or Netflix rental queues? Pass this one up and it'll be you with egg McMuffin on your face."

"Hollywood is a remake junky and we're its enablers. How long before the studio system has a fatal overdose? The Fog could do it. Moviedom, you need help."

"Best slapstick seen in a horror flick. If Charlie Chaplin were alive today and into terror, he'd be directing this movie. Okay, maybe not -- but at least he wouldn't be dead."
