Predator: Requiem (2007)      "The mechanics of it are so aggravating that by the time you get to an actual throw-down, it's all but impossible to care about how poorly lit the rumble is." [movie review]      The House Next Door            All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)      "The film's centerpiece battle runs only eight minutes, yet its hellfire feels twice as long as Saving Private Ryan's D-Day onslaught." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Berlin Alexanderplatz (1983)      "If greatness is determined less by perfection than by sheer forward thrust, I can think of few better examples than Berlin Alexanderplatz." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Berlin Alexanderplatz (1983)      "This Criterion release could have been entirely without features and it would still rank among the finest DVDs of the year." [dvd review]      The House Next Door            Ghost Rider (2007)      "Director Mark Steven Johnson is infinitely less concerned with exploring Blaze's smoldering, soul-deprived isolation than he is infatuated with the character's skull-'n'-bones imagery." [movie review]      The House Next Door            The Happening (2008)      "Only half good cinema, seemingly the result of its maker's stunted belief/determination in both himself and his audience." [movie review]      The House Next Door            I Am Legend (2007)      "A film capable of more, settling for less." [movie review]      The House Next Door            The Incredible Hulk (2008)      "Sound and fury signifying nothing, indeed." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Jumper (2008)      "So lazily assembled and unenthusiastically performed that it could very well be an alternate cut of itself, assembled from takes that were justly consigned to the cutting room floor." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)      "In Letters, the glossy romanticism of history crumbles before our very eyes." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)      "Robinson Crusoe practically bursts at the seams with its glorious Technicolor, while sound is crisp and booming throughout." [dvd review]      The House Next Door            Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)      "In creating a work of spiritual, rather than physical, focus, Robinson Crusoe on Mars becomes more than just another post-50's sci-fi flick." [movie review]      The House Next Door            The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)      "So astounding in its lack of anything that could be considered reasonably watchable that it achieves something of an unintended, surrealist nightmare vision." [movie review]      The House Next Door            Terminator Salvation (2009)      "No small tragedy, this is the first Terminator film without a heart." [movie review]      The House Next Door            10,000 B.C. (2008)      "One can only infer that, in order for it to be taken seriously, the makers expected audiences to forget pretty much every movie they'd ever seen before in their entire life." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            12 Angry Men (1957)      "Makes no self-saluting motions to greater importance, which gives the material the much-desired breathing room it needs to reach full potency." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            1408 (2007)      "A savvy slab of undecorated cheese, made compelling by its unflinching willingness to dive into its material headfirst." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            28 Days Later (2003)      "The film itself seems to exist in a state of perpetual imbalance... between life and death, the real and the surreal, civilization and chaos." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            28 Weeks Later (2007)      "Suggests the kind of fable as might be shared from generation to generation, albeit in its own nerve-racking, nihilistic way of directing these metaphors into our psyche." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            28 Weeks Later (2007)      "A merely competent package for one of the finest horror films of the past few years." [dvd review]      The Projection Booth            3:10 to Yuma (1957)      "Though it is masterful in stretches, it ultimately mistakes feel-good qualities for truly satisfying ones." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The 4th Dimension (2006)      "The 4th Dimension prevails for both its overall lack of pretension, as well as a more implicit approach to such psychological mind games." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Alien Resurrection (1997)      "Has more visual flair than any of George Lucas' Star Wars films, and at times is almost as fun." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            American Gangster (2007)      "Frank Lucas is angry. You won't like him when he's angry." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            American Zombie (2007)      "Lee's film proves that it's a genre as viable as ever, endlessly flexible and perpetually illuminating." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Art School Confidential (2006)      "Simultaneously champions creative desire while calling out the artistic realm's share of pretentious blowhards." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       4/4      Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)      "Assault on Precint 13's powerful exercise in democracy...is nothing short of one for the ages." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Atonement (2007)      "A cinematic fellatio for anyone easily impressed by set and costume design." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Away From Her (2007)      "Something of an antithesis to the fake fuzziness of any Hallmark movie of the week." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Bank Job (2008)      "The film comes out on the upper side of things by managing to avoid blue balls." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Batman (1989)      "A hollow void of underdeveloped style and half-hearted execution." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Be Kind Rewind (2008)      "Ultimately trades in schmaltz of the unearned kind." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Bee Movie (2007)      "Decade-old leftovers reaching for laughs." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       4/4      The Birth of a Nation (1915)      "Links the divide between American past and American present." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Black Snake Moan (2007)      "Its sleazy, scuzzy nature comes not from a forward desire to push the standards of taste but a been-there sense of the ways of the world." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       1/4      Blood Diamond (2006)      "Truly offensive is the film's go-nowhere result, its purported liberal ideologies untapped beyond their potential for speedy, soulless entertainment." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)      "Zzzzzzzzz." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Brave Little Toaster (1988)      "Disney can't touch this." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Brave One (2007)      "If nothing else, enjoy Nicky Katt's hilariously smart-ass one-liners." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Break-Up (2006)      "High-aimed intentions are thrown askew by the reliance on inconsistent laughs seemingly meant to break the otherwise overriding tension." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Brick (2006)      "Brick exemplifies the difference between a cinematic talent show and mere karaoke." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Bride Wars (2009)      "Enough to make one yearn for the rich complexity of Home Improvement." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Bug (2007)      "A freakishly metaphorical look at the self-destructive implications of paranoia gone awry." [movie review]      The Projection Booth       4/4      The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919)      "The influence of Robert Wiene's Caligari is so great that it threatens to obscure the work itself." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Cannibal Holocaust (1980)      "The completely heinous nature of the film...is exposed through its own inconsistencies." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Choke (2008)      "Choke sucks." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)      "Appreciable is its willingness to tantalize with slow reveals, thus allowing its otherwise obvious religious readings to imbue themselves more fully into the unfolding narrative." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            City of God (2003)      "Often masterful in its distillation of exposition into pure sight and sound energy... but equally frustrating in its attention-grabbing lack of focus." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Cloverfield (2008)      "I, for one, would be using the F-bomb far more gratuitously if faced with a possible encounter with a creature that could well swallow me whole." [movie review]      The Projection Booth            Cloverfield (2008)      "Cloverfield comes to us packaged like a secret government file; if they wanted to maintain the illusion, why not go all the way as did the film?" [dvd review]      The Projection Booth
