	"[Carolla's] made a good, not great, film that sincerely honors the Underdog Sports genre, and perhaps that's enough." -- Film.com Posted Jun 30, 2008	The Hammer (2008)	70%
	"Based on the same template that created USA's previous zany-crime-solver programs, the formula has been refined to a razor-sharp edge." -- Film.com Posted Jun 30, 2008	Burn Notice - Season 1 (2007)	n/a
	"... an appalling, revolting, thuddingly dumb movie." -- Film.com Posted Jun 30, 2008	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)	24%
	"Watching it feels a little like being slowly smothered by a soft pillow, while your killer won't shut up about his inability to share his feelings." -- Film.com Posted Jun 30, 2008	Rails & Ties (2007)	34%
	"Yeah, there's the scene with the zombie dogs, but most of the film involves scientists sitting around a big table talking about what they plan to do next." -- FADPOV.com Posted Sep 24, 2007	Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)	22%
3/5	"*(Since) most ticket-buyers will fail to see beyond the gun violence to the more human story, The Brave One* is simply a competent failure by a very good director.*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Brave One (2007)	43%
1/5	"Considering that the whole movie is being sold as nothing more than a CGI version of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, one kind of expects there to be more rockin' and sockin' and less funny business with Optimus Prime destroying Mom's flower bed." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jul 3, 2007	Transformers (2007)	57%
2/5	"Hanson's an excellent director, and there are swaths of "Lucky You" that are admittedly very well executed. But without a main character to root for, a believable romance or any reason to give a crap about the story, the whole thing just rolls over on its" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted May 4, 2007	Lucky You (2007)	28%
3/5	"... suffers a bit from that lack of documentary intent and often feels directionless. But it's still fascinating." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Koko - A Talking Gorilla (1977)	100%
1.5/5	"... an interesting archival document %u2014 but it's also painfully self-indulgent, with terrible acting and humor that's often too surreal to make any sense." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Putney Swope (1969)	60%
	"Big, opulent, glitzy, and glamorous, Bugsy serves Warren Beatty well." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Bugsy (1991)	88%
4/5	"... a marvelous ode to Bukowski, as well as a brilliant examination of one sort of writing life." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Factotum (2006)	75%
	"... a beautiful, and curious, piece of filmmaking, long and meandering with moments of brilliance" -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Tempest (1982)	71%
3.5/5	"... a well-crafted script by director Ryan Fleck and co-writer Anna Boden that eschews any obvious good guy/bad guy simplifications." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Half Nelson (2006)	91%
4/5	"Rare is the opportunity to see such a detailed document on the way that the media can create a controversy almost wholly unconnected to the original event." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Shut Up & Sing (2006)	90%
3.5/5	"It's another Rocky-as-underdog scenario and, written baldly, it sounds like screenplay hell -- but damned if Stallone doesn't make it work." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
3.5/5	"Hope's tale of identical cousins, treachery, and adventure touches something in the cultural consciousness in the same manner as Shakespeare's plays." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	The Prisoner of Zenda (1937)	100%
4/5	"... a seminal work that's not to be missed." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	The Naked City (1948)	92%
3.5/5	"A well-crafted piece of entertainment, and a surprising showcase for the usually underwhelming Affleck." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Hollywoodland (2006)	70%
	"A sort of alternate-universe chick flick, like a romance novel told from the point of view of the cold-but-handsome love interest rather than the plucky heroine." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	A Good Year (2006)	26%
3/5	"As with any biopic, it's inaccurate as all get-out -- but it's a delightful film nonetheless, with Flynn at the top of his game." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Gentleman Jim (1942)	100%
2/5	"*Linklater's Fast Food* movie covers all of Schlosser's bases, but is surprisingly anemic in its execution.*" -- DVDJournal.com* Posted Apr 10, 2007	Fast Food Nation (2006)	51%
	"... wrings the same sort of squirm-inducing comedy from the world of filmmaking that "The Office" gleaned from 9-to-5 pencil pushing." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Extras - The Complete First Season ()	n/a
3.5/5	"It's an overabundant visual feast, but a satisfying one." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)	65%
	"An oddball faux documentary-cum-punk Western." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Border Radio ()	n/a
4/5	"Here we have Errol Flynn as most of us remember him -- suave, witty and wearing tights." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Adventures of Don Juan (1949)	n/a
	"The slow decline of Owen Wilson's career continues with this pedestrian sitcom-on-celluloid." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
	"It's hard to tell what De Palma wanted to achieve with this film. Whatever it was, what ended up on the screen is a confused, ugly mess." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	The Black Dahlia (2006)	35%
	"A moving, very personal document, one that's as revealing as it is disturbing." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	The War Tapes (2006)	98%
4/5	"A scathing examination of how oppression and torture breed terrorism." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Catch a Fire (2006)	76%
	"Cohen uses his characters to point out our sacred cows, whatever they may be, and then shoot them with a well-placed dart." -- DVDJournal.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	91%
	"Shainberg manages the tricky task of showing us how the decidedly strange Arbus [saw] the world." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)	30%
	"... teeters delicately on the edge of black comedy while still warming the heart." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	Volver (2006)	91%
	"A thriller for those who might not otherwise be drawn to one, with performances that will knock your socks off" -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	Notes on a Scandal (2006)	87%
	"... delivers on several levels, offering multitextured characters who make no facile decisions, and re-creating the paranoia of Cold War-era Germany with an assured hand." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	The Lives of Others (2006)	93%
5/5	"... an epic action film that literally rewrites the way such stories can be told, using all the latest cinematic tricks and gadgetry to pull the audience smack into the middle of battles that are as exquisite in their presentation as they are horrifying i" -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 10, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
	"Whatever your background, the yearning of Nair's characters for a place in the world where they truly belong is a feeling that strikes deep in the heart." -- Portland Tribune Posted Apr 10, 2007	The Namesake (2007)	85%
1/5	"Hillary Swank is a minister AND a scientist! No, I'm not making this up. Please, stop laughing." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 6, 2007	The Reaping (2007)	8%
5/5	"Tarantino and fellow sleaze merchant Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) attempt to recreate the experience of watching a double bill of craptastic 70's low-budget movies [but] they fail in one important respect -- both their films are just too damn good." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Apr 6, 2007	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
3/5	"The film is drenched with Gibson's unique brand of crazy ... coming off as a sort of a fantasy in which Jesus, after suffering the more brutal lashings at the hands of the Centurians, is able to escape into the jungle and turn into Rambo." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Dec 8, 2006	Apocalypto (2006)	65%
1/5	"Babel isn't actually about anything. It's just 140 minutes of self-conscious cinematic navel-gazing dressed up in Oscar-bait clothing." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Nov 10, 2006	Babel (2006)	68%

2/5	"*If Dawson's Creek* had been about warlocks, it would look like this.*" -- eFilmCritic.com* Posted Sep 8, 2006	The Covenant (2006)	3%
	"... a beautiful, melancholy film that illustrates the inevitable losses that accompany adulthood." -- Portland Tribune Posted Aug 25, 2006	Old Joy (2006)	85%
5/5	"There is much screaming and hissing and biting and ... oh, it's marvelously stupid. And exciting. And just plain fun." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 18, 2006	Snakes on a Plane (2006)	70%
	"The Devil Wears Prada is like that perfect couture sundress -- feather light, amusing and just the sort of thing for a warm summer evening." -- Portland Tribune Posted Aug 15, 2006	The Devil Wears Prada (2006)	76%
	"... a delightful return to Allen's sillier territory." -- Portland Tribune Posted Aug 15, 2006	Scoop (1987)	43%
	"... a thoughtful, sensitive and ultimately despairing film that avoids both nut job proselytizing and sugarcoated sentimentality." -- Portland Tribune Posted Aug 15, 2006	World Trade Center (2006)	70%
	"Jack Black capers, cavorts and makes funny faces in an attempt to wring comedy out of wood, and it's just plain embarrassing to watch." -- Portland Tribune Posted Jun 18, 2006	Nacho Libre (2006)	39%
2/5	"The first one wasn't all that great, so we're talking about a competent remake of a decent, but mediocre, film. There are more monkeys, though, so that's something." -- eFilmCritic.com Posted Jun 6, 2006	The Omen (2006)	26%
