5/5	"by the time those end credits rolled, I had laughed, cried, and cheered far more than I have for any other film in a very long time . . .and isn't that feeling of being both emotionally drained and exhilarated what we go to the movies for?" Posted Jul 4, 2006	Superman Returns (2006)	77%
5/5	"Visually stunning and emotionally gripping, THE WARRIORS is a classic that, after a quarter-century, has finally recieved the loving finishing touches that it so rightly deserves" Posted May 31, 2006	The Warriors (1979)	93%
4/5	"Ratner haters and comic book purists should probably stay home - a fun superhero popcorn movie that delivers nearly two hours of solid entertainment" Posted May 31, 2006	X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)	57%
3.5/5	"the filmmakers may be hedging too many bets, trying to make the film both acceptable to fans and accessible to newcomers. But while SILENT HILL is far from perfect, it is at the very least a valiant effort" Posted Apr 24, 2006	Silent Hill (2006)	30%

4/5	"*Despite uncessary padding and languid pacing, King Kong* is a visually gorgeous spectacle that deserves to be seen on the big screen*" Posted Mar 27, 2006*	King Kong (2005)	84%
4/5	"Eli Roth may not be re-defining the horror genre, but he has certainly infused it with a welcome dose of old-school sensibilities and new-school flair" Posted Mar 27, 2006	Hostel (2006)	58%
3/5	"the final act is worth the price of admission for fans of the game. All things considered, though, I'd much rather just be playing the game." Posted Mar 27, 2006	Doom (2005)	20%
4/5	"Despite its flaws, it really is a funny, witty, and suprisingly charming slob comedy" Posted Mar 27, 2006	Waiting... (2005)	31%
4/5	"solidly anchored by a masked Hugo Weaving and a few stunning action sequences. If only there had been more of them . . ." Posted Mar 27, 2006	V For Vendetta (2005)	73%

4.5/5	"*In an era of increasingly formulaic and mainstream crime thrillers, Ten 'Til Noon* is a clear standout and a welcome change of pace.*" Posted Mar 1, 2006*	Ten 'til Noon (2005)	70%
5/5	"Toyoda's film is an exploration of the problems that plague a modern Japanese family, giving us a unique view that can be appreciated by those both within and outside of the filmmaker's culture." Posted Mar 1, 2006	K�ch� teien (2005)	n/a
3/5	"An orgy of red meat and confused filmmaking" Posted Mar 1, 2006	Mad Cowgirl (2006)	33%

3.5/5	"A vehicle for Statham to drive fast cars and beat the hell out of people, TRANSPORTER 2 provides a much-needed fix for action fans stuck in the late summer doldrums." Posted Sep 9, 2005	Transporter 2 (2005)	50%
2.5/5	"The film's lush atmosphere is a thin smokescreen to hide the fact that its formulaic underpinnings prevent it from approaching anything that is truly scary or unsettling" Posted Sep 9, 2005	The Skeleton Key (2005)	39%
2/5	"you know there's something wrong with a movie when Christopher Walken doesn't get, or give, even one funny line of dialogue." Posted Sep 9, 2005	Wedding Crashers (2005)	75%
1/5	"here's how you know it's really bad. I find Japanese girls adorable, and this movie is chock full of them, AND IT'S STILL COMPLETELY UNWATCHABLE! " Posted Aug 3, 2005	Marronnier (2004)	n/a
4.5/5	"Horrendously filthy and vile with no taboo spared, THE ARISTOCRATS is boisterously funny and equally fascinating." Posted Jul 14, 2005	The Aristocrats (2005)	80%
3.5/5	"Although fun while it lasts, it's just another cute story about family and acceptance that could have been a lot more convincing and heartfelt with just a little more depth." Posted Jul 14, 2005	Saving Face (2005)	86%
3/5	"There were some things to like about F4 scattered throughout. The ingredients were all there, but the chefs need to be replaced" Posted Jul 14, 2005	Fantastic Four (2005)	26%
3.5	"an impressive display of sound and fury that falls apart the minute any scrutiny is applied to the machinations of its plot." Posted Jul 7, 2005	War of the Worlds (2005)	73%
3.5	"while it isn't a necessary addition to the trilogy, it still entertains and delivers the goods in the gore department, and that's what we go to a Zombie movie for, isn't it?" Posted Jul 7, 2005	George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)	75%
5/5	"Anderson's use of lighting, editing, sound design, and score hit just the right nerve endings, creating a film that keeps turning over in your mental gears for days afterward." Posted Jun 20, 2005	The Machinist (2004)	73%
4.5/5	"The Dark Knight gets a much-needed reboot. As long as the franchise remains in the capable hands of Nolan and Bale, I think we can expect great things in the years to come." Posted Jun 20, 2005	Batman Begins (2005)	84%
5/5	"gives us a humble family man protagonist who goes against the grain of the stereotypical Samurai archetype" Posted Jun 20, 2005	Twilight Samurai (2004)	98%
2/5	"Even at a short 77 minutes, Primer is bloated, draggy, cumbersome, confusing, and almost entirely unengaging" Posted Jun 20, 2005	Primer (2004)	72%
2/5	"relies too much on Farrell's shtick and the "ooohh, cute kids" factor, so it doesn't even try in the script department. Insert sports cliche here. Insert sight gag there." Posted May 16, 2005	Kicking and Screaming (2005)	43%
4/5	"As is appropriate for this more jaded era, the story is much more grim and edgy. Now if I can just get used to Starbuck being a girl . . ." Posted May 14, 2005	Battlestar Galactica - The Miniseries (2004)	n/a
3/5	"It's a shame that a small action film with such a talented cast and interesting set-up ends up being dragged down by excessive exposition and languid pacing" Posted May 12, 2005	Alive (2004)	n/a
4/5	"it's hard to write a review when there is so much you want to hate about a movie, and yet it gives you so much to like." Posted May 9, 2005	Crash (2005)	75%
5/5	"This isn�t the real British underworld, and it's not supposed to be. This is a highly stylized and ultra-hip British underworld � and it�s entertaining as hell. " Posted May 9, 2005	Layer Cake (2005)	80%
3.5/5	"*Acting, directing, and production values - all very solid. But there are a couple of major problems that keep Deathwatch* from reaching it's full potential*" Posted May 9, 2005*	Deathwatch (2002)	29%
3.5/5	"*There's great promise in Dead End, and a script that is often clever, combined with a carload of decent actors, really helps cover a multitude of flaws." Posted May 9, 2005*	Dead End (2004)	88%
3.5/5	"*While The Bunker* is never outright scary, it definitely has its fair share of moments that are creepy and unnerving.** " Posted May 9, 2005	The Bunker (2001)	80%
4/5	"You're not likely to lose a night's sleep over it . . . but you may find yourself double-checking under the bed before turning in." Posted May 9, 2005	Dead Birds (2004)	50%
3/5	"as a short film whose primary purpose is to set up a gun fight, BROKEN is a short-but-sweet action fan's fix" Posted May 2, 2005	Broken (2004)	n/a
4/5	"*Frankie Wilde�s ride is a wild one indeed, and IT�S ALL GONE PETE TONG* manages to capture the essence of both his madness and genius*" Posted Apr 11, 2005*	It's All Gone Pete Tong (2005)	77%
5/5	"*There�s good and then there�s great and then there�s Sin City. Every moment is a story unto itself, every damsel�s eye and killer�s craggy face has its own tale to tell" Posted Apr 1, 2005*	Sin City (2005)	77%
2.5/5	"Paranoia 1.0 has atmosphere in spades. Unfortunately, the plot and character development are about as thin as the atmosphere on Pluto." Posted Mar 16, 2005	Paranoia 1.0 (2004)	67%
4.5/5	"The Cliche'd Sports Movie That Almost Was - and Thankfully Wasn't . . . the movie stops being about boxing, and becomes entirely something else" Posted Mar 16, 2005	Million Dollar Baby (2004)	91%
4/5	"Chow�s screen persona lies somewhere between the poise of Bruce Lee and the comedic timing of pre-Hollywood Jackie Chan, with a little Looney Toons thrown in for extra kick" Posted Mar 3, 2005	Kung Fu Hustle (2005)	89%
4/5	"Keanu Reeves is a chain-smoking, tough-talking, and -kicking Exorcist, taking out the demonic trash like a hybrid of Father Karras and Mike Hammer" Posted Mar 3, 2005*	Constantine (2005)	45%
