N/A	"Celebrity Interviews - Says co-star Sophia Bush: "We�re at a point where we�ve evolved to realize that women can kick as much * and they want to see it too."*" Posted Jan 31, 2007*	The Hitcher (2007)	19%
	"No kick * fights, and only a couple of rock �em sock �em shootouts, which are difficult to see due to Mann�s grainy night vision-like shooting style.*" Posted Jul 27, 2006*	Miami Vice (2006)	48%
	"I was there... It was the mid �90�s, and I was but a lowly assistant at fashion conglom Bergdorf Goodman, corner of 5th and Haute Couture." Posted Jun 29, 2006	The Devil Wears Prada (2006)	76%
N/A	"Celebrity Interviews - Director Danny Leiner and co-stars Tony Shalhoub and Jim Gaffigan discuss their part in some subtle 9/11 sociology." Posted Jun 23, 2006	The Great New Wonderful (2006)	74%
	"Finally, here is a film that addresses this major American catastrophe without shoving important messages down the audience�s throat." Posted Jun 23, 2006	The Great New Wonderful (2006)	74%
	"If you�ve seen the trailer, you�ve seen ALL the sex; actually, you�ve even seen more than is actually in the film. A threesome in the trailer is non-existent in the final cut." Posted Mar 29, 2006	Basic Instinct 2 (2006)	7%
	"The film meanders and becomes painfully arbitrary in its storyline... Child abuse + funny lesbians = hilarious!!!" Posted Mar 21, 2006	Don't Tell (2005)	29%
	"Occasionally fascinating, as we watch this man reconstruct his life, picking and choosing what he wants of his former self, and reinventing himself at the same time." Posted Feb 18, 2006	Unknown White Male (2005)	73%
	"A very funny, well thought out romantic comedy, despite a few predictable stereotypes of race and class. Lathan and Baker have great chemistry as the typical opposites." Posted Feb 5, 2006	Something New (2006)	61%
N/A	"When the PR ship for an historical epic sails without the presence of its reclusive director, colorful star and scenery-chewing co-star, it can make for a strange voyage." Posted Jan 20, 2006	The New World (2005)	60%
	"*Filmmaker Wayne Wang follows Maid in Manhattan* and Because of Winn Dixie with another dollop of harmless entertainment.*" Posted Jan 14, 2006*	Last Holiday (2006)	54%
	"There�s no denying it; Scarlett Johansson is Marilyn Monroe reincarnated, refurbished and upgraded for the 21st century." Posted Dec 28, 2005	Match Point (2005)	77%
	"After being terribly miscast and exceedingly uncomfortable as Alexander the Great, Farrell is perfectly at ease with the challenges of John Smith" Posted Dec 27, 2005	The New World (2005)	60%
N/A	"Celebrity Interview - Is graduating teen queen Lindsay Lohan still locked and Loaded or simply spinning her wheels? " Posted Oct 25, 2005	Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)	41%
	"Director Niki Caro deftly intercuts Josey�s story with the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings, a smart, subtle move to tie in the things all women have had to go through." Posted Oct 20, 2005	North Country (2005)	69%
N/A	"These days, there is a very decisive difference between chick lit and chick flicks; while the books remain smart, chick flicks have a tendency to dumb down and marginalize." Posted Oct 10, 2005	In Her Shoes (2005)	75%
	"Every time the film starts to ascend into dramatic territory, it hits an air pocket and loses momentum" Posted Sep 22, 2005	Flightplan (2005)	38%
	"Male, early 60s, looking to rekindle the magic of earlier hit TV shows with a stab at big screen romantic comedy. Discerning moviegoers need not apply." Posted Jul 28, 2005	Must Love Dogs (2005)	35%
	"Despite a litany of co-branded products, the good folks at 20th Century Fox overlooked the two most important ones: a blindfold and a set of earplugs." Posted Jul 8, 2005	Fantastic Four (2005)	26%
	"With the onslaught of her public activities and associations, Ms. Lohan will have a hard time convincing the masses as the virginal Maggie." Posted Jun 22, 2005	Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)	41%
	"What makes this documentary infinitely entertaining is the opportunity it affords to get reacquainted in �04 with guys who were at the top of their game back in �72." Posted Feb 26, 2005	Inside Deep Throat (2005)	82%
	"Blanchett's perfect Hepburn lock jaw, speech and swagger provide much needed doses of comic relief to the middle of the film, when it begins to sag slightly." Posted Dec 17, 2004	The Aviator (2004)	88%
	"Farrell often looks constipated, like he needs to get off that horse and hit the commode as opposed to hold onto his troops or his audience." Posted Nov 23, 2004	Alexander (2004)	16%
	"Saw is nothing more than a poor man's Seven, right down to the casting of Glover as the Morgan Freeman-like black cop." Posted Oct 28, 2004	Saw (2004)	46%
	"The ending is a major letdown. At the screening I attended, an audience of journalists and regular folks let out a raucous groan followed by a few peels of laughter." Posted Oct 21, 2004	The Grudge (2004)	39%
	"This may be the first movie that would have been better off if it had cast actor Brian Baker, the Verizon Wireless �Can you hear me now?� guy, as its young lead." Posted Sep 9, 2004	Cellular (2004)	54%
	"Thirty years after Brian De Palma riffed on Hitchcock�s Vertigo with Obsession, MGM and Lakeshore Productions decide to add insult to injury." Posted Sep 2, 2004	Wicker Park (2004)	23%
	"Witherspoon is not really a girl who flaunts sexuality; she is more of a prepster�s pinup, akin to her persona in Election as opposed to say Kathleen Turner in Body Heat." Posted Aug 31, 2004	Vanity Fair (2004)	50%
N/A	"Celebrity Interviews - Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx and director Michael Mann retrace the journey that led them to two of this summer�s most delightfully complex characters." Posted Aug 5, 2004	Collateral (2004)	86%
	"Braff does not use flashbacks to get his point across; instead, he opts for the ancient art of �storytelling.�" Posted Jul 28, 2004	Garden State (2004)	87%
	"By treating the subject matter with the same kind of raw emotional intensity as his recent fact-based drama, director Greengrass literally puts us in the driver�s seat." Posted Jul 23, 2004	The Bourne Supremacy (2004)	81%
N/A	"*Celebrity Interviews - Long before the idea of a Bourne* sequel, Matt Damon wasn't sure if he still had a career.** " Posted Jul 22, 2004	The Bourne Supremacy (2004)	81%
N/A	"Celebrity Interviews - Clive Owen, Kiera Knightley and Ioan Gruffudd luxuriate in the fact that his King Arthur boxes out the notion of a traditional love triangle." Posted Jul 7, 2004	King Arthur (2004)	31%
	"In the end, Dodgeball belongs completely to Stiller; as White, he brings a comedic smarminess that usually is attributed to actor Jim Carrey." Posted Jun 18, 2004	Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)	70%
	"The film�s trio of kids show virtually no grief other than the occasional pout, a reaction that is more akin to being grounded than having your family torn apart." Posted Jun 1, 2004	Raising Helen (2004)	22%
	"In the end, Troy is an empty Trojan horse, likely to be swept under the rug in early July by the arrival of King Arthur." Posted May 14, 2004	Troy (2004)	55%
	"The best thing about The Girl Next Door is its attitude. The film opts for a straightforward approach to sex � one that teenagers will not only relish, but also appreciate." Posted Apr 9, 2004	The Girl Next Door (2004)	56%
N/A	"Celebrity Interviews - The Rock, Johnny Knoxville and director Kevin Bray recall the joys of working on a grade A, mainline Hollywood action flick." Posted Apr 1, 2004	Walking Tall (2004)	24%
	"Much like his career-launching appearance on SNL, The Rock towers above this highly uneven remake of the 1973 �hixploitation� classic." Posted Apr 1, 2004	Walking Tall (2004)	24%
	"A hefty dose of Australian history and legend, magnificently enhanced by a landscape that serves as more than just travelogue. " Posted Mar 30, 2004	Ned Kelly (2004)	55%
	"Roses are red; violets are blue. It�s been over three years; since a good movie starred Drew." Posted Feb 12, 2004	50 First Dates (2004)	44%
	"*With MIB2, [Sonnenfeld] triumphs yet again in giving us a quick -- albeit silly -- cinematic fix." Posted Feb 1, 2004*	Men in Black II (2002)	38%
	"Hurley in particular is astoundingly awful." Posted Feb 1, 2004	Serving Sara (2002)	5%
	"It is the audience who will feel duped even more than the characters in the film." Posted Feb 1, 2004	Triumph of Love (2002)	46%
	"An attention arousing entrée." Posted Feb 1, 2004	CQ (2002)	66%
	"If it was the intention of Kalvert, Gambale and Kimatian to infiltrate their script with every stereotypical hoodlum clich� from every movie covering Brooklyn bad boys, they were on the money. Too bad their movie isn't." Posted Feb 1, 2004	Deuces Wild (2002)	3%
	"Peter Gallagher must've been hard up for cash." Posted Feb 1, 2004	Mr. Deeds (2002)	22%
	"In the grand tradition of The Conqueror and Showgirls, Ashton Kutcher�s first drama is funnier than his last three comedies put together." Posted Jan 23, 2004	The Butterfly Effect (2004)	34%
N/A	"Celebrity Interviews - Ashton Kutcher joins Amy Smart and the directors of The Butterfly Effect to discuss his first dramatic role." Posted Jan 23, 2004	The Butterfly Effect (2004)	34%
	"With Monster, Theron finally rises above B-movie mediocrity and positions herself amongst the cr�me de la cr�me of thespians. " Posted Jan 9, 2004	Monster (2003)	82%
