N/A	"Neil Marshall creates werewolves, troglodytes, and post-apocalyptic car battles for the screen, but don't mistake his work for simple horror. The future of the genre may rest in his hands." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 12, 2008	Doomsday (2008)	48%

1/5	"This is not a movie to watch for escapism. This is a movie to watch with a bunch of friends and heckle mercilessly." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 14, 2007	Dragon Wars (2007)	27%
2/5	"..the plot stops parodying 'Cops' in favor of general lunacy. The "R" rating allows the humor to get a bit cruder, but gratuitous nudity and sexuality don't really offer anything new." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 10, 2007	Reno 911!: Miami (2007)	34%
4/5	"*Despite an odd choice to inject computer animated wonder, Bridge to Terabithia* is ...a loving tribute to the best and the worst moments of adolescence...*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Mar 3, 2007	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	85%
5/5	"In the British newspaper, Guardian Unlimited, del Toro credited British illustrator Arthur Rackham and the works of Goya...Guillermo del Toro has joins their ranks with this film." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 21, 2007	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
2/5	"Every criminal has to have a quirk. That guy's a cross-dresser. He's a master of disguise. They're Nazis. She's a lesbian... Ridiculous cretins like these will make you long for the thoughtful characterizations of Boss Hogg and Sheriff Roscoe." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 10, 2007	Smokin' Aces (2007)	27%
4/5	"The violence of "The Descent" is brutal, but the smart psychology and multilayered screenplay provide the true satisfaction." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 3, 2007	The Descent (2006)	85%
3/5	"The Minimoys are teeny-weeny kind folk with a keen fashion sense and a wicked-cool lair. They're just like what the Borrowers would have been like if they had lived in the field behind the Urban Outfitters production factory." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 3, 2007	Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)	20%
2/5	"The film may be inspired by a true story, but it's a mishmash of scenes we've seen before, and for a film about original teaching methods, the storyline is surprisingly derivative and predictable." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 19, 2007	Freedom Writers (2007)	69%
0/5	"Charlotte herself has been turned from a small, grey spider into a creature with a furry, teddy bear face. The result is an odd blend of Wilfred Brimley, Grizzly Adams, and Fozzie Bear." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	Charlotte's Web (2006)	78%
4/5	"Whether (Mel Gibson's) films are in English, Latin, Aramaic or Yucatec, the real language is that of masculinity personified in the face of emotionless evil." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	Apocalypto (2006)	65%
3/5	"Because everyone is rich and in love, you can see the happy ending coming a mile away, but with a film like this, it's the journey that's important and not the destination." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	The Holiday (2006)	48%
4/5	"A concept film, but wow, what a concept!" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	Stranger Than Fiction (2006)	73%
3/5	"...ideology aside, "The Pursuit of Happyness" works as a film that celebrates people who toil for a better life." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)	66%
5/5	"Zwick and Leavitt add the right amount of horror, character development and political activism to make "Blood Diamond" one of most important films to come along in a long time." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	Blood Diamond (2006)	63%
2/5	"*The film takes its main characters, spreads them out all over the world, and subjects them to emotionally and physically tortuous situations. Think last year's Crash* on a global scale.*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Jan 13, 2007	Babel (2006)	68%
3/5	"despite... shortcomings, "Happy Feet" brings a lot of energy and creativity to a genre that increasingly relies on slapstick and over-stimulation." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	Happy Feet (2006)	74%
3/5	"Writers William Broyles Jr. and Paul Haggis believe that they are contrasting the men's lives with their heroic image. Sadly, what they present to the viewer is yet another fabricated image, and one that is equally false." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 13, 2007	Flags of Our Fathers (2006)	73%
3/5	"...all of these pictures are starting to blend together to form one big, hypertensive splash of motion that threatens to over-stimulate us all!" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 2, 2006	Flushed Away (2006)	73%
3/5	"Pizza will never be the Lou Malnati's deep dish of the independent film world, but its gentle pacing...makes this gem as comforting as mall pizza on a hungry day." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 1, 2006	Pizza (2005)	31%
4/5	"Imagine the cast of "Repo Man" attempting to cast the one ring into the fires of Mordor" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 28, 2006	The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell (2006)	60%
N/A	"An interview with master horror director, George A. Romero" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 10, 2006	Night of the Living Dead (1968)	95%
2/5	"Your child will probably go crazy for this imitative mash-up, but you'll wish you had spent your hard-earned money on a good children's book instead." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 28, 2006	Open Season (2006)	47%
N/A	"Religion, Worldviews and Controversy Pitch Their Tents at "Jesus Camp": An Interview with the Filmmakers and Pastor Becky Fischer" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 23, 2006	Jesus Camp (2006)	88%
5/5	"Most films about shell-shocked characters coming to grips with their own mortality are either excruciating or forcefully comical. Not so with this mini-masterpiece." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 13, 2006	Look Both Ways (2006)	77%
5/5	"The Science of Sleep is probably not a film for everyone, but in a perfect world where dreamers and artists were celebrated, it would be." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Sep 5, 2006	The Science of Sleep (2006)	69%
N/A	"How Mike Nelson Crashed the 'Road House' and Inadvertently Damned this Interviewer to Hell" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 28, 2006	Road House (1989)	42%

1/5	"In the first film, Depp had fun chewing on the scenery. In this one, the scenery swallows him up and eats him raw." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 11, 2006	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	54%
3/5	"The film becomes an exercise in moving people and clues around. It's like a Sherlock Holmes story without Holmes, Watson or Moriarty." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 18, 2006	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	25%
N/A	"Michael Bronner discusses the scene on set during Greengrass's recreation of the tragedy, FAA Operations Manager Ben Sliney and the ambiguities surrounding the final moments of Flight 93." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 13, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
N/A	"An interview with former "60 Minutes II" producer, Michael Bronner, who was assigned the arduous task of researching specific events that occurred on September 11, 2001." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 13, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
3/5	"It's another substandard comedy about a family vacation that goes to hell, and then inexplicably rises to cloud nine, thanks to the exhaustive emasculation of the father, but at least this one has a poop geyser." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 27, 2006	RV (2006)	23%
2/5	"Think the Cirque du Soleil performed by the cast from "Saved By the Bell" knee deep in diarrhea. It may be engrossing and even embarrassingly fun, but it's also just a big disgusting mess." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 21, 2006	Silent Hill (2006)	30%
5/5	"...a stunning synthesis of innovative animation and smart storytelling. In 27 minutes, this film accomplishes more than most feature films dare." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 6, 2006	The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello (2005)	n/a
3/5	" *I found it pretty compelling stuff, but whether or not Rank* grips you depends solely on whether or not bull riding grabs you by the horns.*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Apr 4, 2006	Rank (2006)	57%
2/5	"I just hope this movie's creation wasn't due to any gambling debts or past nefarious dealings. I'd like to think Mr. Lumet is better than that." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 29, 2006	Find Me Guilty (2006)	57%
1/5	"With yet another bloated and self-important mythos under their belts, the hope of a quality screenplay penned from the Wachowski brothers continues to fade." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 17, 2006	V For Vendetta (2005)	73%
4/5	"As in his early stand-up routines, we can feel superior to Steve Martin's immature, likable character while adoring him at the same time." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 9, 2006	Pink Panther (2006)	24%
1/5	"When did Indiana Jones turn into the cranky old guy at the end of the street who would yell at you for playing in his yard?" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 9, 2006	Firewall (2006)	19%
2/5	"When a Stranger Calls is basically a poorly written episode of "The Babysitter's Club" but with a body count." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 6, 2006	When a Stranger Calls (2006)	9%
1/5	"McPhee is a composite of Margaret Hamilton, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and the grunting Karl from Sling Blade." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 27, 2006	Nanny McPhee (2006)	73%
5/5	"Heath Ledger's Ennis is like an old mule that refuses to leave the path in front of him. The destination is tragedy." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 14, 2005	Brokeback Mountain (2005)	87%
4/5	" *It's clear that like the Lord of the Rings* trilogy, Jackson lovingly took his feelings and appreciations and created a film that is mind-numbingly comprehensive.*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Dec 13, 2005	King Kong (2005)	84%
4/5	"Stephen Gaghan pulls it off by presenting an interesting menagerie of characters, a myriad of locations and a screenplay that overestimates rather than underestimates the audience's intelligence." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 6, 2005	Syriana (2005)	74%
5/5	"...manages to avoid clich�s...and present a side of war never offered before by Hollywood: a side that hundreds of thousands of American troops are experiencing right now." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 3, 2005	Jarhead (2005)	61%
3/5	"The Weather Man is a rare film where effective filmmaking goes hand in hand with convoluted writing." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 28, 2005	The Weather Man (2005)	58%
