Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       B+           "If it sometimes overdoes its indie-film quirkiness, it ultimately makes up for it with real depth and laugh-out-loud comedy." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      (Untitled) (2009)      "Skewers the world of contemporary art in a way that's insightful and funny without becoming a broad parody." [movie review]      Film.com       B      101 Reykjavik (2001)      "Life in Iceland never looked so bland and swingin' at the same time." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      12 and Holding (2006)      "Directors like Todd Solondz and Larry Clark are fond of tormenting and exploiting their young characters, but Cuesta seems to sympathize with his." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      13 Going on 30 (2004)      "It's a pleasant surprise that the movie holds up as well as it does for as long as it does." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      1408 (2007)      "If you like 'spooky' but not 'gross' -- if you like to be scared without being assaulted -- then 1408 should do the trick." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      24 Hour Party People (2002)      "Fans of that period of music should see the film post-haste; others may enjoy it purely from a filmmaking perspective, in which category it succeeds pretty well." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      25th Hour (2002)      "It is hard to argue against a film as well-acted and sensibly assembled as this one." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      28 Days Later (2003)      "The film is endlessly suspenseful, but it is more than thrilling; it's satisfying and whole." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      28 Weeks Later (2007)      "The sequel feels cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, and is nearly as good." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      3 Extremes (2005)      "So you'd like to see work from a few Asian horror directors, but don't have time to watch three separate movies? Then here's the sampler platter you're looking for!" [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      30 Days of Night (2007)      "The rare horror film that actually lives up to its potential." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      300 (2007)      "Marked by spectacularly excessive visuals, with warfare transformed into a beautiful ballet of blood." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      3:10 to Yuma (2007)      "It combines Old West values with modern filmmaking sensibilities, and it never fails to be compelling, right down to the tense, harrowing finale." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)      "An entertaining sex farce." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)      "A near-perfect sex comedy, made by smart people who understand that crassness itself is not funny, but that crassness with a dash of cleverness is." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      500 Days of Summer (2009)      "It's as close to perfect a romantic comedy as I've ever seen." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      5X2 (2005)      "Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi's character is the one to watch throughout the film, as it is in her demeanor that we learn all the answers -- or all the questions, anyway." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      The 6th Day (2000)      "An exciting high-tech action film that's even a little clever, in its big, blowing-things-up kind of way." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      8 Mile (2002)      "There is a quietude to the film, even though it is punctuated by a lot of music and even more yelling. Its mood is soft and even humble." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      95 Miles to Go (2006)      "It's hilarious, funnier than 'Everybody Loves Raymond' ever was." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)      "A sad, strangely fascinating story that holds a viewer's interest but mostly leaves his emotions alone." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Aberdeen (2001)      "The movie is to be admired for refusing to romanticize alcoholism and for finding, in its bleak story, much humor and emotion." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      About a Boy (2002)      "These are characters we care about and relate to; the fact that they speak with flair and wit makes them funnier, but no less human. The movie is a gem." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A      About Schmidt (2002)      "The sharp comedy that occupies most of the film melts into a sentimental -- but not syrupy -- conclusion that is one of my favorite movie endings of the year."

[dvd review]      DVDTalk.com       B      Accepted (2006)      "It's not a perfect movie, and its story is ludicrous, but darned if it isn't charming in its bald-faced preposterousness."

[movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Adam (2009)      "It's actually a humorously bittersweet story buoyed by likable performances, and not an oh-geez-here-comes-another-film-about-a-saintly-disabled-person movie." [movie review]      Cinematical       A-      Adaptation (2002)      "The genius of this remarkably clever and funny film is how non-confusing it is to watch." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Adoration (2009)      "Another well-wrought and intriguing drama by Egoyan."

[movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Al Franken: God Spoke (2006)      "The scope ought to be narrowed, but the film is still pretty entertaining in places, owing to Franken's intelligence and quick wit." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Alfie (2004)      "Law ... gives an honest, pitch-perfect performance in a film that is otherwise unremarkable." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Alien (1979)      "Remains one of the best examples of sustained tension. There is a sense of ominousness, a sense that something bad is going to happen, from the moment the film begins." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B+      Alien: The Director's Cut (2003)      "It remains one of the best examples of sustained tension."

[movie review]      EricDSnider.com       A-      Almost Famous (2000)      "Obviously crafted with a great deal of love, from the hand-written opening credits to the last musical note." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B      Almost Peaceful (2004)      "The combination of happy plot resolutions, spring-like classical music and beautiful scenery put a pleasant cap on a very humane, moving film." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com       B-      Along Came Polly (2004)      "The movie has a breezy, negligible feeling to it. It earns quite a few solid laughs, and while it's not worthy of tremendous success, it warrants a look." [movie review]      EricDSnider.com
