	" The directors infuse the film with a short story�s spare dialogue and tight pacing -- the running time is all of 76 minutes -- while subtle visual motifs and judicious moments of magical realism demonstrate cinema at its most elegant." -- Los Angeles CityBeat Posted Aug 28, 2008	Jellyfish (2008)	88%
	" this stellar cast uniformly captures both the flaws and the humor of their characters amid the pathos." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
	" Although beautifully filmed, Bab�Aziz�s form mirrors the actions of its characters, wandering the desert and dancing among the tales, returning to the present-day story for Ishtar, with her wise, old face, to say, 'What happened next?'." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 11, 2008	Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul (2008)	57%
	" For a hip commercial and music-video director, Andrews Jenkins is oddly behind the curve and out of step in his feature directorial debut." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 11, 2008	How to Rob a Bank (2008)	17%
	" A thin premise frays the audience�s patience." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2008	The Eye (2008)	21%
	" Through portraits of these three men, [director] Cole uses the possibility to explore themes of loyalty and duty, masculinity, class conflicts and a youth culture gone soft and spoiled, at times slipping into political rhetoric." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jan 24, 2008	Day Zero (2008)	21%
	" The dialogue is sharp, with just enough of an edge to avoid sentimentality." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jan 24, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
	" Uwe Boll uses his biggest budget ever to produce a cheap knockoff of LOTR, complete with an Orc-like army of beasts called Krug, elfin woodland beings, and a wizard-esque magus played by John Rhys-Davies, but without a comprehensible plot." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jan 18, 2008	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	4%
	" With much of the action taking place at night and in the rain, it�s already difficult enough to tell what�s going on without the tight frames and quick cuts of the battle scenes. " -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 28, 2007	Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)	14%
	" The stunning set pieces (the production cleared and dressed the streets of New York for every outdoor scene) serve as the backdrop to Smith�s rending performance as a man struggling against guilt, hope, and God." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 14, 2007	I Am Legend (2007)	69%
	" The sport and its stunts have evolved, captured beautifully and thrillingly here by director Mark Obenhaus and cinematographer Erich Roland." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 12, 2007	Steep (2007)	51%
	" With a lowered chin, squinted eyes and gravelly voice, Madsen emotes in convulsions, his awkwardly expressed scenes of grief and interactions with his adolescent co-star lingering onscreen uncomfortably too long, as if more time would exhume feeling." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Dec 7, 2007	Strength and Honour (2007)	13%
	" Both touching and amusing, these four embody the spirit of Hollywood, �a place where dreams are made and dreams are broken.�" -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Nov 16, 2007	Confessions of a Superhero (2007)	100%
	" The viewer who gives him- or herself over to the pitched emotions, nuanced performances and opulent design will be richly rewarded." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Nov 16, 2007	Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)	28%
	" *A welcome diversion from DreamWorks Animation's increasingly trying Shrek* series.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Nov 2, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	52%
	" If the gore quotient has been upped in this chapter (really, after a certain threshold has been reached, who can tell?), the style has, too." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 29, 2007	Saw IV (2007)	19%
	" This picture about romance found unexpectedly in middle age juxtaposes poignant observations about love and family with genuinely humorous moments." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 25, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	66%
	" If consummate thespian Anthony Hopkins downplays, even dismisses, discussions about the �craft� of acting, then Slipstream, only the second film he�s directed, betrays evidence that it�s a subject to which he�s nevertheless given a lot of thought." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 25, 2007	Slipstream (2007)	24%
2/5	" [The film features] episodic set pieces with disorienting action, culminating in a face-off that defies logic in its resolution." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Seeker (2007)	13%
3/5	" Along with Kay�s masterful compositions, effulgent black and white cinematography elevates the material over typical documentary filmmaking." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2007	Lake of Fire (2007)	94%
2.5/5	" As the story shifts from fanaticism to skepticism, Bar-Lev loses sight of his original line of inquiry on the nature of modern art when he doesn�t need to." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
3/5	" Without making a message movie, the filmmakers have shed light on a serious yet underappreciated sociopolitical issue." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 28, 2007	Trade (2007)	27%
2/5	" There's a fine line -- just two letters, in fact -- between precocious and precious. Unfortunately The Game Plan not only crosses it but runs 80 yards down the field, and one can't help but throw a flag on the play." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Game Plan (2007)	27%
2.5/5	" What plot there is in Resident Evil: Extinction -- the denouement of which is disappointingly incomplete -- serves solely to set up the gunslinging action, given a Wild West flair by its setting in Las Vegas and the surrounding desert." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 24, 2007	Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)	22%
2/5	" In the film�s attempt to straddle feel-good and feel-bad, ultimately one feels nothing." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 14, 2007	Mr. Woodcock (2007)	13%
3.5/5	" *Moviegoers will delight in excavating the strata of motifs in King of California." -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Sep 14, 2007	King of California (2007)	62%
3/5	" The effort to complicate their interaction even further, however, risks implausibility in the final moments -- an unfortunate consequence of the very fine work that has gone before." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 11, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
3.5/5	" Gaggero not only draws out such nuances from the two women but illustrates the complexities of their friendship with carefully constructed cinematography." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 8, 2007	Live-In Maid (2004)	100%
3/5	" Differentiates itself from others in the genre...by focusing on the big picture." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 6, 2007	The 11th Hour (2007)	66%
3.5/5	" Adeptly packaged in all facets of production, Halloween is nicely cast with a combination of Zombie regulars, familiar faces and compelling newcomers and satisfyingly constructed with camerawork that heightens the suspense on the page." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Sep 4, 2007	Halloween (2007)	26%
2.5/5	" Today Roky is actually on tour again, with a number of 2007 musical festival appearances including Coachella -- a development at least worthy of an afterword." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 30, 2007	You're Gonna Miss Me - A Film About Roky Erickson (2007)	78%

2/5	" This unoriginal picture also suffers from uninspired dialogue uttered by actors who are better than this and a jokey tone that would work if we hadn�t already heard all the same lines in director Lefler�s tv work in Hercules and Xena." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 20, 2007	The Last Legion (2007)	17%
4/5	" A smart thriller for smart audiences." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 3, 2007	The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)	93%
2.5/5	" *Too often, The Ten* is simply not funny enough, stretched thin by ideas played out too long.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Aug 3, 2007	The Ten (2007)	39%
1/5	" *Shoddily scripted and excessively stylized, I Know Who Killed Me* pushes the bounds of what audiences will accept both narratively and aesthetically -- and oversteps them in every instance.*" -- Boxoffice Magazine* Posted Jul 28, 2007	I Know Who Killed Me (2007)	8%
4/5	" If you think you�ve seen it all, you haven�t. And what�s best is that McClane/Willis enjoys it as much as we do. Yippee ki yay." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 27, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
3.5/5	" Ratatouille�s narrative shortcuts only serve to make room for the fun, of which there are generous servings." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 26, 2007	Ratatouille (2007)	95%
2.5/5	" The structure of the film only [confuses]." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 15, 2007	El Cantante (2007)	24%
3/5	" The film begins on a serious note, requiring an adjustment on the part of the audience toward its more prevalent comic tone. Once that transition is made, the experience of Moliere is an enjoyable one." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 15, 2007	Moliere (2007)	70%
4/5	" Sunshine achieves a level of plausibility that, while still taking some poetic license, allows the viewer to appreciate not only the filmmakers� craft but their ideas." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 15, 2007	Sunshine (2007)	76%
4/5	" A lovely romantic comedy [of] a poignant humor that will have you in stitches, even when you think perhaps you shouldn't be." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 15, 2007	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	55%
2.5/5	" The result, then, is that little here is psychologically engaging for the viewer. Instead, to witness vulnerable Agnes being pulled into a vortex of delusion and paranoia is akin to watching a car wreck." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 7, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
3/5	" However innovative and arresting the filmmaking, interest in this chapter begins to wane at the 105-minute mark." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 25, 2007	Day Watch (2007)	63%
2.5/5	" Luke�s script is both funny and poignant, but he and Andrew do the writing a disservice by failing to set up the onscreen delivery and stubbornly clinging to tacked-on scenarios that do nothing to further the plot." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 18, 2007	The Wendell Baker Story (2007)	43%
4/5	" Poignantly shot as a series of static landscapes into and out of and through which the characters move. At its most stunning, the technique finds contrary actions and moods coexisting in different parts of the frame." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted May 4, 2007	L'Iceberg (2007)	71%
2/5	" A B movie with a bland title, histrionic acting and a ridiculous twist ending." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 21, 2007	Perfect Stranger (2007)	10%
	" A thrilling bout, but one that relies on your not figuring out the twist." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 20, 2007	Fracture (2007)	71%
1.5/5	" In the movie�s attempts to create drama amid the action, as in a downhill sled chase, all energy is sapped, and the audience ends up feeling nothing." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Apr 13, 2007	Pathfinder (2007)	11%
3/5	" The film is likewise witty and intelligent -- that is, until the final act, when it eschews the tension of an unreliable point of view for modern horror elements." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Mar 31, 2007	Disturbia (2007)	67%
