3/4	" The film's odd conceit is its primary strength, with Van Damme in a nakedly honest, bravely candid turn that for the first time in his career can be commended as 'acting'." Posted Nov 14, 2008	JCVD (2008)	87%
1/4	" Maybe somebody decided the movie was already so convoluted and leaden that throwing in a few swooping, screeching valkyries could only help. They do not." Posted Oct 17, 2008	Max Payne (2008)	18%
3/4	" Through it all there always shone this subtle, gleeful naughty schoolboy charm, not quite a full-on wink at the audience, but a tacit acknowledgement that sometimes even total jerks can exhibit an endearing charm." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Ghost Town (2008)	84%
1.5/4	" The movie's big lug of a lead, Dan Fogler...could be dismissed as a poor man's Jack Black." Posted Aug 29, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
3/4	" All-the-way-through good, from explosive start to bloody finish, without so much as a momentary lag in the action or the story." Posted Aug 24, 2007	War (2007)	14%
3/4	" The characters are brought to vivid life with remarkably compelling performances by two of the screen's most versatile actors: Don Cheadle as the freewheeling Greene; and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Hughes, the aggressively ambitious executive." Posted Jul 27, 2007	Talk to Me (2007)	81%
3/4	" Evening's visual period splendour, its vivid characterizations and their comfortably clich�d relationships somehow draw us in and make us care." Posted Jun 29, 2007	Evening (2007)	27%
2.5/4	" Live Free or Die Hard is indeed a worthy successor to the original -- not perhaps quite as good, but close." Posted Jun 27, 2007	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	81%
2/4	" *Even as haunted hotel King movies go, 1408* is certainly no Shining. Not even the TV-movie version.*" Posted Jun 22, 2007*	1408 (2007)	78%
2/4	" I've got to be honest here. In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that I was not entirely awake all the way through." Posted Jun 15, 2007	Golden Door (2007)	70%
3/4	" Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a vast and significant improvement -- if not quite "fantastic," then the next best thing: It does not suck." Posted Jun 15, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
2.5/4	" Surf's Up is quite surprisingly good, going for the subtle chuckle where Happy Feet opted for show-stopping spectacle." Posted Jun 8, 2007	Surf's Up (2007)	78%
3/4	" *Like Shaun of the Dead, the movie enthusiastically embraces all the grotesque clich�s we love and have come to expect from the form -- turning several on their ear." Posted Jun 1, 2007*	Severance (2007)	65%
2.5/4	" Each vignette is wittily worded by neophyte TV writer Aschlin Ditta, and subtly performed by a large ensemble cast that contains a few fairly recognizable surprises." Posted May 25, 2007	Scenes of a Sexual Nature (2006)	40%
2/4	" Relentlessly dense and unfathomable; Depp, the heart and soul of the series, doesn't even show up till several reels in." Posted May 24, 2007	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	45%
3/4	" What the characters and satirical situations may lack this time out in a certain fresh vitality, they more than compensate for with a warm, laid-back familiarity ... and the occasional, out-of-left-fjord surprise." Posted May 18, 2007	Shrek the Third (2007)	42%
3/4	" A faithful and funny, entirely scripted, feature-length film version of the videotaped and improvised mockumentary series." Posted Oct 6, 2006	Trailer Park Boys - The Movie (2008)	55%
