3/4
 
"When Spielberg makes an Indiana Jones movie, you can tell he still loves it. I guess I do, too. For the most part, anyway."
Posted May 21, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)77%
/
3.5/4
 
"An elegant, dazzling and graceful concert film that captures the true spirit of a U2 show."
Posted Jan 27, 2008
 
U2 3D (2008)92%
/
4/4
 
"Like the orginal Airplane! or an early Mel Brooks film, it's destined to be quoted, revisited and cherished for years to come."
Posted Nov 2, 2006
 
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)91%
/
2.5/4
 
"A big, hilarious, stupid meathead of a movie, destined to be a huge hit on The Violence Channel."
Posted Oct 14, 2006
 
The Marine (2006)21%
/
1.5/4
 
"It feels about as sincere and insightful as a Schlitz-induced rendition of Achy-Breaky Heart."
Posted Sep 29, 2006
 
Broken Bridges (2006)5%
/
3/4
 
"The jackass films were made for the sole purpose of getting a crowd of drunken lunkheads together for a night of brainless hilarity. Nothing more, nothing less."
Posted Sep 21, 2006
 
Jackass: Number Two (2006)61%
/
3.5/4
 
"At times, Crank's everything-including-the-kitchen-sink-and-then-some approach feels more like a cartoon than anything else."
Posted Sep 3, 2006
 
Crank (2006)60%
/
3.5/4
 
"Most of these cartoon-like characters could only come from a mind like Mike Judge, who hasn't lost his ability to make stupidity both alarming and endearing. "
Posted Sep 3, 2006
 
Idiocracy (2006)72%
/
3/4
 
"There will probably never be a marriage between a great movie and a great album, but I'm glad they keep trying."
Posted Aug 30, 2006
 
Idlewild (2006)48%
/
2/4
 
"After a while we're stuck with a one-joke concept that got old months before the movie came out and gets older still as the movie wears on."
Posted Aug 17, 2006
 
Snakes on a Plane (2006)70%
/
3.5/4
 
"Most comedies these days try too hard to be funny. Talladega Nights simply tries to be funny without being obvious."
Posted Aug 17, 2006
 
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)73%
/
4/4
 
"So fresh, innovative and fun, you can't believe it wasn't written by Brad Bird and directed by Robert Zemeckis."
Posted Aug 17, 2006
 
Monster House (2006)74%
/
1.5/4
 
"Were it not for its title, this plodding, tiresome mess would have never seen the light of day."
Posted Aug 17, 2006
 
Miami Vice (2006)48%
/
2.5/4
 
"I look at the screen and I don't see John McLaughlin. I see Nicolas Cage with a moustache and an awkward New York accent."
Posted Aug 17, 2006
 
World Trade Center (2006)70%
/
3/4
 
"Almost the exact same review as the first: A lot of fun, but could use some trimming."
Posted Jul 11, 2006
 
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)54%
/
3/4
 
"The storyline sets itself up for plenty of phony pay-offs, but thankfully doesn't deliver on them. It actually knows better."
Posted Jul 11, 2006
 
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)76%
/
3.5/4
 
"It refreshingly becomes less about time travel and more about the choices we make and the chances we miss."
Posted Jul 11, 2006
 
The Lake House (2006)36%
/
2.5/4
 
"The plane taking off, flying and nearly crashing into the earth almost serves as a metaphor for the entire Superman Returns experience."
Posted Jul 11, 2006
 
Superman Returns (2006)77%
/
3/5
 
"I found myself responding to its fenderheaded foolishness... and I suspect that those of you with a healthy taste for the absurd may find themselves reacting in the same way."
Posted Jul 1, 2006
 
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)34%
/
2/4
 
"The behavior of the two main charactres exists solely to be "cute," while giving us no reason to believe these two people should be together in the first place."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
The Break-Up (2006)34%
/
1.5/4
 
"Some protesters believe that if you see this film, you'll go to Hell. They got it backwards. I think if you go to Hell, you'll probably see this film while you're there."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
The Da Vinci Code (2006)25%
/
3/4
 
"Short, sweet, tight, to-the-point and able to fully satisfy anyone craving a silly disaster film."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
Poseidon (2006)33%
/
3.5/4
 
"It has the good sense to hold up a mirror to ourselves, only instead of making us feel guilty and stupid, it makes us feel inclusive and in on the big joke."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
American Dreamz (2006)41%
/
1.5/4
 
"The poster says 'Never follow', while the movie itslef follows every cliche in the book."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
Take the Lead (2006)43%
/
3/4
 
"A well-made, if insignificant, film about a well-managed, significant music festival."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
Coachella - The Film (2006)88%
/
4/4
 
"Demme continues to make concert films not because he's a fan, but because the concerts are inherantly cinematic and make perfect sense."
Posted Jun 11, 2006
 
Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006)90%
/
4/4
 
"This is a great movie for many reasons, but its greatness is almost beside the point."
Posted Apr 27, 2006
 
United 93 (2006)91%
/
3.5/4
 
"A refreshing piece of Hollywood entertainment that is more interested in ideas than in just being 'cool'."
Posted Mar 17, 2006
 
V For Vendetta (2005)73%
/
3.5/4
 
"LIke Wattstax and Festival Express before it, Chappelle and Gondry's movie makes you feel as though you're at a party when, in fact, you're just sitting in a darkened theater."
Posted Mar 14, 2006
 
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)92%
/
4/5
 
"We all claim to 'eat, sleep and breathe' our passion and, of course, we want to impress the higher-ups who sign our paychecks, but how much is enough?"
Posted Feb 11, 2006
 
Who Needs Sleep? (2006)67%
/
4/5

Posted Feb 3, 2006
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
4/5
 
"Lipsky’s screenplay clearly comes from a real place, one of experience and true heartbreak."
Posted Feb 3, 2006
 
Flannel Pajamas (2006)52%
/
4/4
 
"A moving and celebratory rock-doc that proves itself worthy of its subject."
Posted Jan 28, 2006
 
Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2006)71%
/
4/5
 
"Writer-director-editor Brian Jun doesn’t let all of his characters off easy, but he clearly has affection for every one of them."
Posted Jan 28, 2006
 
Steel City (2006)86%
/
4/5
 
"We’ve met characters like Lucy before and we’ve seen movies like Come Early Morning before, but doesn’t automatically make Joey Lauren Adams’ directorial debut less than a good movie."
Posted Jan 28, 2006
 
Come Early Morning (2006)84%
/
4/4
 
"Like Eternal Sunshine and Gilliam's Brazil, it demands to be seen more than once and is impossible to sum up in one review."
Posted Jan 24, 2006
 
The Science of Sleep (2006)69%
/
4/4
 
"The New World carries the sense of discovery that comes with seeing a densely layered work of art for the first time, a work that speaks personally to one's heart and mind."
Posted Jan 18, 2006
 
The New World (2005)60%
/
3/4
 
"By the end, I felt neither happy nor sad for Rodney. I enjoyed being in his presence for 90 minutes, but I can't exactly agree that he has a magnetic personality."
Posted Jan 15, 2006
 
The Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003)88%
/
4/4
 
"It's like a live-action Hayao Miyazaki film. It's an indescribable, hilarious and insane piece of work that also has a refreshingly old-school feel to it."
Posted Jan 15, 2006
 
Great Yokai War (2006)67%
/
3/4
 
"Not great, but still funnier than most other comedies released in 2005."
Posted Jan 15, 2006
 
The Producers (2005)51%
/
4/4
 
"Again, Jackson proves himself an unbeatable showman with the soul of a poet. He crafts and composes his action sequences like symphonies, with the most eye-popping crescendos."
Posted Jan 15, 2006
 
King Kong (2005)84%
/
2.5/4
 
"A well-meaning, yet meandering and confusing political thriller."
Posted Jan 15, 2006
 
Syriana (2005)74%
/
1.5/4
 
"It comes off like a sequel to the ever-annoying Fame where the kids never moved out of New York or learned anything from Debbie Allen."

"Cuaron's film still ranks as the best...but not by much."
Posted Nov 17, 2005
 
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)89%
/
2.5/4
 
"A well-intended movie that unfortunately comes off as cold and distant as the characters are to each other."
Posted Nov 10, 2005
 
Bee Season (2005)42%
/
2/4
 
"It exists only to support the already over-marketed and calculated "legend" that he was indeed shot nine times."
Posted Nov 10, 2005
 
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)17%
/
2.5/4
 
"The 3-D screenings add little to the experience and feel more like an afterthought than a technological innovation."
Posted Nov 8, 2005
 
Chicken Little (2005)37%
/
3.5/4
 
"A war movie that defies the genre by expressing that even without heavy combat, the war remains a part of these men forever."
Posted Nov 8, 2005
 
Jarhead (2005)61%
