" The plot is ultrapredictable, but under the gentle direction of Peter Cattaneo the movie somehow works." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" When it comes down to it, the story of a son who needs validation and his dying father is utterly predictable." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Ultimately, Get Smart succeeds as a tribute to the original series and as a funny movie in its own right." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Despite the flaws of the filmmaking, the characters who populate the Young@Heart chorus shine through, inspiring young and old alike." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Semi-Pro is the perfect name for this movie, because it feels like a half-baked comedy made by semi-professionals." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" The movie eventually falls into monster movie clichés...If you're into the movie, you won't care. If you're fed up, you'll just laugh." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Cloverfield (2008)77%

B+
 
" Sometimes jaunty, often dark, and very stylized. In other words, it's a perfect fit for director Tim Burton." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Either you're in the mood for a sweet and simple Christmas movie or you're not. If you are, then Perfect Holiday should fit the bill nicely." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" The scenes that really work are the ones that take place outside the supermarket, in the beginning and at the end of the film." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" It's just harmless and bland and dull and predictable, and sometimes that's worse than a bad movie." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" A few scenes work, but many more don't. Southland Tales may be one feature film that will play better in bits and pieces on the Internet." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" The riskiest move Seinfeld made was to create an unlikable protagonist who is wrong every step of the way, but treat him like a hero." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" With such a good concept for a vampire movie, it's hard to believe it turned out to be this boring." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" This new version of the story of Moses is a huge step backward for theatrical CG animation, or any animation for that matter." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Sometimes the hardest movies to review are the ones that are middle-of-the-road, bland and completely uninspiring, movies like December Boys." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg have found an impressive protagonist in Steidle, but they would have done better to expand the scope of the documentary beyond his personal recollections." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)98%

" Although Bynes exudes a devil-may-care attitude that is fun to watch, the formulaic movie ultimately falls apart around her." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" Jodie Foster and director Neil Jordan shift the genre to the murky left, where right and wrong are not so black and white." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" In the end, you care about the characters on screen as much as you do for those in video games, which is not at all." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

" The reason Balls of Fury works as well as it does, aside from its low aspirations, is because of the charm of Fogler in the lead." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The cop/ crime stuff that makes up the bulk of the movie is well thought out and well directed. -- Film.com

I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a solipsistic comedy about the darker side of marriage. -- Film.com

After I first saw the film, I recommended it to people as an entertaining and commercial crime thriller; a standard story done very well. And then I saw it again. The movie is so much better the second time. -- Film.com

Raziah takes everything at face value, forcing us to look again at people and situations we would immediately judge as good or bad -- reason enough to see this film. -- Film.com
