2.5/4
     (1975)      "Jeanne Dielman can initially absorb, fascinate but, ultimately, ends up less than the sum of its parts" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
2/4
     (2009)      "a nicely played but all-too-preciously eccentric romance" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (1919)      "still creepy good entertainment on a rainy day" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "District 9 doesn't carry much weight as sociopolitical commentary or satire but, taken on the merits of its shrewd story sense and craftsmanship, it's a popcorn entertainment destined to stay in our minds." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "a sincere, thoughtful tale of the human heart" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "Pixar's magic still has sparks to spare." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "First-time filmmaker Megumi Sasaki's documentary Herb & Dorothy is as simple and straightforward as the subjects of its title." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3/4
     (1976)      "gives the viewer the feeling that he's in Welles's expansive company...while he considers and pontificates on a pet topic. That in itself is a privilege, and reason enough to check out F for Fake" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "Keys succeeds in limning an engaging portrait of an artist and mentor who's spent a lifetime affirming the power of art to inform and delight, and, if he can help it, effect positive social change." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "a skilfully constructed studio picture that boasts a casting coup on par with The Lord of the Rings'." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "an essential entry in Hollywood's cultural chronicle" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "The movie's rewards outpace its flaws by a mile and give us another reason to follow the career of a gifted young lead actor." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Gervais' rapport with his equally enjoyable co-stars Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni also keeps Ghost Town on solidly funny ground." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "Gran Torino is a smorgasbord of Eastwood's skills as filmmaker -- the good, the bad, and the ugly -- and how you well you digest it will depend on your appetite." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/5
     (2009)      "Tyson may be the case of a subject not quite ready for primetime, a man still smarting from his past wounds, too narcissistic, frankly, to be very interesting." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "one of the year's strangest and most compelling narratives." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3/5
     (1979)      "ludicrous but enjoyable hooey" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
1/5
     (2009)      "a pile of stinking turpitude" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "One is hard pressed to find any cinematic personality to Sunshine Cleaning." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3/5
     (2009)      "At its best, the movie is a stylish spin through the Tokyo universe, a play on the psychology and realities of one of the world's most urbanized societies" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "an endlessly busy and stylish film with a hollow emotional and spiritual core." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
1/4
     (2009)      "Ondaatje's lack of certainty seeps from the dialogue and characterizations to his choice of an overwrought aria-heavy score and a shoddy sense of style that recalls episodic television and myriad Silence of the Lambs rip-offs." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
4.5/5
     (1984)      "the definitive portrait of the experience of undocumented Latin-American workers in the United States" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "Aronofsky's film demands much from its audience but, unlike the great majority of films, it repays with its tenderness of heart and soul, its wrenching and disarming sincerity." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "It's filled with so much vitality...that one comes away admiring the filmmaking while feeling deeply touched, even inspired, by the fiery life at the film's center." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Frost/Nixon acquits itself through Langella's performance and Morgan's tight script, but Howard fails to give the material a pointed spin." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "It's about time we come up with a name for how...Third World cultures are exploited by Western filmmakers. Thirdploitation, anyone?" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "Particularly striking is the astonishing level of access Dotan seems to have had." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "Craig is the sole reason Quantum of Solace passes muster." [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "as Hitchcockian thrillers go, it's one of the smarter and more absorbing ones made in recent years" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
3.5/4
     (2008)      "Among the many achievements in Lurie's script is how it manages to swing the viewer's sympathies toward Armstrong." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "Inevitably, Reticker's style falls into monotony that works against the material. Ultimately, though, the power of that material overcomes flaws in presentation." [movie review]      Reel.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2008)      "the power of the material overcomes flaws in presentation" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3.5/5
     (2008)      "like channeling Mike Leigh or John Cassavetes in bringing this marital drama to the screen." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "Race, gender, tradition, politics and sexuality get thrown together into a bright but bland masala mix in Shamim Sarif's debut feature." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
4/5
     (2008)      "a nifty example of the horror-movie as thrill ride" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "a daring, unusual Halloween treat" [movie review]      Cinema Writer   
  
2/5
     (2008)      "the whole thing feels wrong and cheeky" [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "For those of us attuned to the punched-up presentation of The Amazing Race and Survivor, built week by week to maximize human drama and suspense, Morning Light is just reality lite." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
1.5/4
     (2008)      "A dollop of Saving Private Ryan, a dash of Letters from Iwo Jima, and a sprinkle of Italian neorealism characterize the style and sentiment of Miracle at St. Anna." [movie review]      Slant Magazine   
  
3/5
     (2009)      "can't decide how irreverent it wants to be, and settles for a neither-here-nor-there attitude that, luckily, scores with a few genuine laughs" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
2.5/5
     (2008)      "A tender cross-cultural love story that nearly founders under the weight of contrived polemics and Mideast politics" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
3.5/5

4/5
     (2008)      "an expertly witty, often hilarious gorefest" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
3/5
     (2008)      "Let the Right One In wasn't my favorite movie at Tribeca 2008, but it's definitely the one that's stuck with me" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
3.5/5
     (2008)      "Brilliantly atmospheric, beautifully and lyrically made, Late Fragment might've been a strong movie even without the interactive element." [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
4/5
     (2008)      "beautifully shot, and shrewdly edited for maximum emotional impact" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
4/5
     (2008)      "a rare and illuminating look at life on a Bollywood movie set" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
2.5/5
     (2008)      "[a]neatly made but, ultimately, tepid high-school election documentary" [movie review]      Jaman.com Jaman   
  
4/5
