3/4	" Craig is a marvel, but the decision to have Bond engaged in a game of Hold 'Em poker is a betrayal of the character and an embarrassing bit of pandering. Small detail, I know." -- Zap2it.com Posted Nov 17, 2006	Casino Royale (2006)	94%
3/4	" The movie is driven not by the desire to explore one or two specific aspects of the problem in any depth, but to run through the long list of Dick's frustrations superficially" -- Zap2it.com Posted Sep 4, 2006	This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)	83%
1/4	" It boils down to 83 minutes of Chev journeying through LA's ethnic 'hoods dispatching minorities. Granted the movie can't be taken seriously, its cavalier racism is shocking." -- Zap2it.com Posted Sep 4, 2006	Crank (2006)	60%
2/4	" There's a certain oddness to a movie that casts Paula Patton as a singer only to dub her voice but leaves legends like Ben Vereen and Patti LaBelle in non-musical parts." -- Zap2it.com Posted Aug 25, 2006	Idlewild (2006)	48%
3/4	" *Credit Invincible* with varying the Disney formula just a bit. While still a "feel good" movie, it's a dark and miserable road that must be traveled along the way.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Aug 25, 2006	Invincible (2006)	71%
2/4	" Beerfest is a one-joke movie ("Hey what if the Olympics had cool competitions like beer pong?") and the level to which it sustains that one joke is almost admirable." -- Zap2it.com Posted Aug 25, 2006	Beerfest (2006)	39%
2.5/4	" *The story is about ineffable things, but the police procedural aspects of The Illusionist* make it all too effable.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Aug 18, 2006	The Illusionist (2006)	74%
2.5/4	" Unlike recent supposedly pro-outcast movies like "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Benchwarmers," "Accepted" seems to have actual affection for its characters." -- Zap2it.com Posted Aug 18, 2006	Accepted (2006)	36%
1.5/4	" *Featuring a bizarrely dated soundtrack fueled by new music from Smash Mouth, Zoom* was designed as a film of training montages. I stopped counting after a half-dozen.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Aug 11, 2006	Zoom (2006)	2%
1.5/4	" The stars blend decently when they're flailing their limbs, but faced with the horribly earnest dialogue written by Duane Adler and Melissa Rosenberg, neither stands out" -- Zap2it.com Posted Aug 11, 2006	Step Up (2006)	20%
3/4	" Stone doesn't shy from bawling wives, gauzy sentimental flashbacks or rousing musical cues, but there's little doubt that he could have gone more overboard." -- Zap2it.com Posted Aug 11, 2006	World Trade Center (2006)	70%
2.5/4	" Talladega Nights is a tighter, more structured film than Anchorman, which is probably both to its advantage and determent." -- Zap2it.com Posted Aug 5, 2006	Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)	73%
3.5/4	" *Can audiences weaned on the murky sadism of the Saw* movies and the Hills Have Eyes remake even recognize what a truly scary movie looks and feels like?*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Aug 5, 2006	The Descent (2006)	85%
2.5/4	" Scoop is surely a slight and flimsy film, but it's pleasant to watch Woody Allen wander around London and to watch Allen's new favorite leading lady expand her range." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jul 28, 2006	Scoop (2006)	38%
2.5/4	" A Sundance-tested slice of American Domestic Dysfunction proving, once again, that no matter what Tolstoy said, sometimes unhappy families are unhappy in very familiar ways." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jul 28, 2006	Little Miss Sunshine (2006)	92%
1.5/4	" Lady is a solipsistic and sour fairy tale that sets out to be about the value of community and magic, but ends up as the director's somber celebration of himself." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jul 24, 2006	Lady in the Water (2006)	24%
2.5/4	" Ultimately, the environments are far more interesting than the humans navigating within them." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jul 24, 2006	Monster House (2006)	74%
2.5/4	" *Although it's as funny as any movie this summer, Clerks II* has to struggle to achieve the level of universality that the original "Clerks" seemed to hit effortlessly.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Jul 24, 2006	Clerks II (2006)	63%
2.5/4	" *Watching Depp in The Black Pearl* was like discovering a new acting continent. Watching him here is like returning to a warm, familiar place - nice and all, not exciting*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Jul 4, 2006	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	54%
2/4	" No matter how fine Paine's intentions, he can't obscure that the movie is, at day's end, the tragic tale of rich people whining because somebody took their trendy toys away. " -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 30, 2006	Who Killed The Electric Car? (2006)	89%
3/4	" Overlong and occasionally unfocused, it may have flaws, but like its formerly unknown star, it weathers its early uncertain steps by providing memorable moments of its own. " -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 28, 2006	Superman Returns (2006)	77%
2/4	" While Sandler shouldn't be advised to shun movies with heart, he needs to recognize the difference between genuine emotions and this sort of decidedly unfunny mawkishness." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 23, 2006	Click (2006)	31%
2/4	" A couple bravura set pieces and a surprise cameo may make fans forget that for much of the time, this "Fast and the Furious" is closer to "Sluggish and the Dispassionate."" -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 16, 2006	The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)	34%
2/4	" Someday, Jared Hess will aspire to make a movie that goes a bit deeper than just a geeky outsider with bad hair, a funny name and an exaggerated accent. But not today." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 16, 2006	Nacho Libre (2006)	39%
1.5/4	" If Kate (Bullock), a doctor with easy access to computers, would just take 10 seconds to Google the man she professes to love so much, the movie could be over in five minutes." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 16, 2006	The Lake House (2006)	36%
3/4	" Such is Altman's gift with actors that he even makes Lindsay Lohan seem fresh-faced, building the film to a climax in which the pop tartlet makes the most of her thin voice." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 12, 2006	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	81%
2.5/4	" I'm wondering if the Piston Cup conceit of huge crowds of cars watching fellow cars race around a track crashing is perverse in a "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" sort of way." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 12, 2006	Cars (2006)	75%
	" A wishy-washy little relationship comedy that's nowhere near as nasty as it evidently wants to be." -- Zap2it.com Posted Jun 1, 2006	The Break-Up (2006)	34%
2/4	" Ratner has taken a series characterized by subversive wit and intelligence and put it in a bland box -- It could be worse, but it couldn't be less distinctive." -- Zap2it.com Posted May 25, 2006	X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)	56%
1.5/4	" Langdon's not a human character, but an amalgamation of pop-up trivia and pensive stares and there's nothing Hanks can do to make him sympathetic, interesting or engaging." -- Zap2it.com Posted May 18, 2006	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%
1.5/4	" There are several characters you're happy to see go -- Try not to cheer when Fergie takes a blast of water to the face -- but there's nobody you'd particularly want to save. " -- Zap2it.com Posted May 13, 2006	Poseidon (2006)	33%
3.5/4	" *As he did in Primal Fear,* American History X and Fight Club, Norton generates suspense by never tipping viewers off if he's supposed to be trusted.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted May 13, 2006	Down in the Valley (2006)	52%
2/4	" *Although it's clearly a personal story, Wah-Wah* proves as formulaic and meandering as its satirical targets are bloated and obvious.** " -- Zap2it.com Posted May 13, 2006	Wah-Wah (2006)	52%
2/4	" *There has to have been a way for Hoot* to have preached the gospel of wildness preservation, grabbed a PG rating and still maintained Hiaasen's delirious nastiness.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted May 5, 2006	Hoot (2006)	26%
1.5/4	" A Post-Colonial Scooby-Doo, as respectable actors in perfectly pressed costumes run up and down stairs avoiding unseen spooks. The director stands in the corner yelling "Boo!"" -- Zap2it.com Posted May 5, 2006	An American Haunting (2006)	12%
3/4	" If Peter Weir, Sam Peckinpah and Jim Jarmusch could somehow collaborate on a film written by Joseph Conrad, it would probably look something like this." -- Zap2it.com Posted May 5, 2006	The Proposition (2006)	86%
2/4	" Gorgeous costumes, elaborate fights and the illusion of swooning romance don't amount to very much if you don't care about any of the characters for a single second." -- Zap2it.com Posted May 5, 2006	The Promise (2005)	32%
3/4	" *You never completely forget Abrams' TV pedigree, but the fact he's turned Mission: Impossible* into a star-studded, amped-up version of Alias isn't a bad thing.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted May 4, 2006	Mission: Impossible III (2006)	70%
2.5/4	" Atchison's film relentlessly rams warm fuzzies down your throat and you know what? For all of the cliches and cringe-worthy dialogue, I found it nearly impossible to stay mad." -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 28, 2006	Akeelah and the Bee (2006)	83%
3/4	" The supposed centerpiece of the movie is its least involving part. There's a crude transition from the ground docudrama to in-air melodrama that occurs about halfway through." -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 28, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
1.5/4	" *Had Silent Hill* been directed by Peter Jackson, perhaps there would have been an explanation or justification for its 127-minute length. But Christophe Gans? Seriously?*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Apr 21, 2006	Silent Hill (2006)	30%
2/4	" Without any mystery or twists, all you're left with is a jumble that Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brien could unravel before the first commercial break on a single episode of "24."" -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 21, 2006	The Sentinel (2006)	34%
2.5/4	" I continue to enjoy Van Der Beek's willingness to play obnoxiously against type -- it turns out as a big-headed hero, he's boring, but as a big-headed , he's a funny guy." -- Zap2it.com* Posted Apr 21, 2006	Standing Still (2006)	36%
2/4	" *Thin on plot even by spoof standards, Scary Movie 4* runs like clockwork for 80 minutes. It's a movie strangely lacking in both comedic highs and lows.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Apr 19, 2006	Scary Movie 4 (2006)	38%
3/4	" The movie often talks circles around itself, trying to layer in subtext to cover for a slasher movie final act, but it was still enough to have me squirming in my seat." -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 19, 2006	Hard Candy (2005)	68%
2/4	" Although Page is described as the model who shocked the nation, "The Notorious Bettie Page" is notable only for how very unshocking it is." -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 19, 2006	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	55%
2.5/4	" Another plot-lite, character-heavy portrait of woman dealing with love, friendship and self-worth and Holofcener has little interest in adding polish or scale to her formula." -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 7, 2006	Friends With Money (2006)	71%
2.5/4	" When Do We Eat? isn't a great film or, necessarily, a particularly good one, but it's a worthy attempt at making an entertaining movie about faith." -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 7, 2006	When Do We Eat? (2006)	41%
2/4	" *Fans will compare it to Pulp Fiction* or The Usual Suspects, but it's more like one of their knockoffs, glib enough to be diverting and nothing more.*" -- Zap2it.com* Posted Apr 7, 2006	Lucky # Slevin (2006)	51%
1/4	" *With the writers of Grandma's Boy,* the director of Big Daddy, and Schneider, Spade and Heder, 'Benchwarmers' can't be accused of a stealth campaign of suck.** " -- Zap2it.com Posted Apr 7, 2006	The Benchwarmers (2006)	12%
