4/4	" Without George W. Bush, the Frost/Nixon conversations may have become just another anecdote of remembering when - instead of confronting audiences with the ironies of two wartime Presidents not owning up to the mistakes that were made." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 4, 2008	Frost/Nixon (2008)	90%
4/4	" Dear Zachary is not just Oscar-worthy material, but Oscar-requisite. If the Academy's documentary branch can't find a way to nominate this film (and then promptly reward it) then there's more than one corruption of justice that needs to be investigated." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 28, 2008	Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)	93%
4/4	" It's an intricate piece to the puzzle of self-examination that began in Adaptation and continues into one of the most challenging, exasperating and beautiful works to hit theaters since probably Eternal Sunshine." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 23, 2008	Synecdoche, New York (2008)	63%
4/4	" The most brilliantly complex, perfectly paced, nerve-jangling, moral-wrangling film ever based on a graphically detailed literary work and, dare I say, one of the most important American films to be made in years." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	94%
4/4	" Not since Titanic will you have heard two prospective partners cry out each other's names with as much longing (and frequency) and if there's any karma, fate, or pure love out there to believe in than WALL-E will equal its attendance and then some." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 26, 2008	WALL-E (2008)	96%
4/4	" To all of the wannabes, imposters and posers out there � it�s time to go back to school and learn how a real adventure picture is made." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 19, 2008	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)	76%
4/4	" There lies a huge, beating heart that leads to a crescendo of joviality so flawlessly accomplished that your mental applause sign may light up before its all over." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 30, 2007	Son of Rambow (2008)	74%
4/4	" Has all the rhythms that made films like Little Miss Sunshine and Garden State so beloved by audiences and critics alike, but invents its own rhyme to buck familiarity thanks to its brilliantly funny and exceptionally wise screenplay by Diablo Cody." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 5, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
4/4	" Frank Darabont's The Mist is easily the best horror film since The Blair Witch Project and the most socially frightening statement about humanity in the post 9/11 era." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 20, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	72%
4/4	" Robert Zemeckis doesn't just give English classes new interpretations to discuss but advances the technological limitations of animation to a level that makes high-definition look like a Falkirk Transmitter." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 15, 2007	Beowulf (2007)	71%
4/4	" The Coens have found the perfect source material to continue their dominance of the crime genre while making a second viewing an absolute must to appreciate all the voices involved." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 8, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
4/4	" Gone, Baby, Gone is not just one of the strongest pictures of the year, but one of the best debuts behind the camera for any filmmaker, moviestar or otherwise." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 18, 2007	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%
4/4	" Superbad winds up being the best single night comedy since Martin Scorsese's After Hours. You may just be compelled to stick around for the next showing because comedies this great are all too rare." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 16, 2007	Superbad (2007)	87%
4/4	" This is as brilliant a deconstruction of any genre I've seen since Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 19, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
5/5	Click here to read article -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 24, 2007	Fall from Grace (2007)	n/a
4/4	" What do I already know after just one screening? That this belongs on the short list of the best comedies of the last twenty years." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 21, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
4/4	" The Good Shepherd is drama at its best, a complex meditation on the freedoms we take for granted and proof that just a little information about how we maintain them is way too much." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 21, 2006	The Good Shepherd (2006)	56%
4/4	" Alfonso Cuaron rides it out to the bitter end, creating a harsh mirror of our future with violence and some of the most purely exhilarating moments of cinema to be found in all of 2006." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 21, 2006	Children of Men (2006)	92%
4/4	" Special stories like this are rare and so are the films which treat them with the respect they deserve. It may ultimately be a story about death, but I like to think of it as one of forever." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 14, 2006	Charlotte's Web (2006)	78%
4/4	" The oddity of Miller's devices helps elevate it to the front line where the Babe films rest as superior family entertainment that is also, arguably, one of the most beautifully rendered animated works I've ever seen." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 16, 2006	Happy Feet (2006)	74%
4/4	" Nolan has used the same illusionist's ruses to craft an entertainment whose power lies not behind the curtain but right in front of all the types of magic imaginable." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 19, 2006	The Prestige (2006)	75%
4/4	" Frears' film is often a brilliant comedy of manners laced with the occasionally appalling undertones that we, the people, often embrace." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 12, 2006	The Queen (2006)	96%
4/4	" *Heaven has come calling for moviegoers to experience the purest, toughest and most unabashed Scorsese film since GoodFellas." -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Oct 5, 2006	The Departed (2006)	92%
4/4	" Not just an all-around growth experience for Kevin Smith and his characters but a film that is in several ways actually better than the original." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 20, 2006	Clerks II (2006)	63%
4/4	" *While there are many stories to be told that we haven't heard yet, there will never be a better film made about 9/11 than Paul Greengrass' United 93." -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Apr 27, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
4/4	" Retains all the elements of a solid caper film, basked in the smarts of a decades old police procedural and leaves us with something greater than forced twists and shoot-outs." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 23, 2006	Inside Man (2006)	86%
4/4	" Anderson's film should tour as part of an encapsulating trilogy with The Aristocrats & This Film Is Not Yet Rated into the heartland & beyond as an important statement of where we've come and the f**storm we're headed for." -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Mar 9, 2006	Fuck (2006)	58%
4/4	" Its final shot is a beautiful masterstroke of the separation and desire involved in personally connecting with a piece of art and is the kind of frame-worthy moment that more students should be learning about." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 2, 2006	Art School Confidential (2006)	36%
4/4	" A beautiful picture punctuated by a top-notch cast and a laugh quotient that exponentially grows right up to its satiric punctuation mark of a climax." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 27, 2006	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	92%
4/4	" Alan Moore, director James McTeigue and the Wachowski Bros. may be using the equivalent of bombs to slam home the point, but occasionally it takes a loud noise to wake us up." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 23, 2006	V For Vendetta (2005)	73%
4/4	" Daniel Craig echoes the sentiment of soldiers and architects for peace everywhere, "Let us do our job." That's all Spielberg is doing and he does it better than anyone." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 22, 2005	Munich (2005)	77%
4/4	" If you're not laughing at The Producers, you have no sense of humor and if you're somehow offended, you are a moron not worthy of its genius." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 15, 2005	The Producers (2005)	51%
4/4	" More than just homage or a Valentine to the original. Jackson is a romantic and is playing Don Juan with the RKO classic, to the audience and the outright joy of filmmaking." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 13, 2005	King Kong (2005)	84%
4/4	" There was a sense of drain that I walked out with; put both in Capote�s shoes and reeling from the see-saw examination of wickedness." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 20, 2005	Capote (2005)	91%
4/4	" As Cassius infamously stated - �'he fault dear Brutus is not in our stars, but in ourselves.' But somehow it sounds more potent coming from Edward R. Murrow." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 20, 2005	Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)	94%
4/4	" Wedding Crashers will gross close to $200 million by run's end. If that�s the playing field comedy fans want to set, then The 40-Year Old Virgin deserves to outgross Titanic." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 18, 2005	The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)	84%
4/4	" A disturbing account of Earth being thrown into the fan from a master filmmaker ready to take the darkness of our existence to places we may not be ready to confront." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 28, 2005	War of the Worlds (2005)	73%
4/4	" Romero�s satiric cultural slant has never been as finely tuned and elevates just another chapter into something deeper and scarier." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 23, 2005	George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)	75%
4/4	" Not only a perfect bridge to the original trilogy but will draw favorable comparisons to the fabled excellence of The Empire Strikes Back." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 18, 2005	Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)	79%
4/4	" Not a quarter of an hour could tick away on the hands of time before someone was shot, stabbed, electrocuted, exploded, emasculated, decapitated or eaten. It was beautiful." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 1, 2005	Sin City (2005)	77%
4/4	" Michael Wranovics has crafted an addictively engrossing documentary about the lengths some members of society will go to claim their piece of the pie." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 6, 2004	Up for Grabs (2005)	93%
5/5	" If you have the chance to be an onlooker on the Wagner's family trip though, you should drop everything and get on board." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 18, 2005	The Talent Given Us (2004)	58%
4/4	" Arson, snakes, hurricanes, murder, man-eating leeches and a plot development out of Jerry Lee Lewis� scrapbook notwithstanding, this is beyond perfect family entertainment" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 16, 2004	Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)	70%
4/4	" Million Dollar Baby may be the first boxing movie to take the clich� of life imitating the 'art' and make it not feel like just another line." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 15, 2004	Million Dollar Baby (2004)	91%
4/4	" Combining the uncompromised bloody horror of war with the aftermath mystery of a heroine just trying to find the boy she loves. Yes, it�s the anti-Cold Mountain." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 19, 2004	A Very Long Engagement (2004)	77%
4/4	" The Polar Express is the grandest WOW experience I've had in this world of film since the original Toy Story. It's like discovering Pixar all over again." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 9, 2004	The Polar Express (2004)	57%
4/4	" Complemented with a gorgeous musical score which he conducted, Amenabar and Bardem combine to tell such a beautiful story" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 5, 2004	The Sea Inside (2004)	83%
4/4	" I sincerely hope that there�s an Incredibles 2 somewhere down the road. These characters are too endearing and way too much fun to be left hanging at the end." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 4, 2004	The Incredibles (2004)	97%
4/4	" The humor of Anchorman is planted deep within a surreal 70s landscape where the jokes zing by so fast, you have zero time to ponder how out there they really are." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 8, 2004	Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)	64%
4/4	" Ranking amongst the best films of 2004, the best action films of the past decade and, once again, THE GREATEST COMIC BOOK SUPERHERO FILM EVER MADE!" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 6, 2004	Spider-Man 2 (2004)	93%
