C-
     (2006)      "Black does everything humanly possibly to try to make this movie work, even spending a good deal of time wearing silly blue tights and getting beat up many, many, many, many times but the script pile-drives him into the mat." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
A-
     (2007)      "A thoughtful and engrossing study of identity, assimilation, and finding the way home." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2007)      "Uncertain shifts in tone from sincerity to almost-camp and the inappropriate subject matter make the unsolvable mystery just who this movie's audience was intended to be." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2007)      "Director/screenwriters Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini of the brilliantly innovative American Splendor seem to believe that a studio movie has to play it safe and the result is predictable and dull." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2006)      "The movie is a little too self-consciously charming and some of the humor seems forced or even creepy. But it is highly entertaining to see the children misbehave and the happy ending, if unsurprising, is welcome and satisfying. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2004)      "The movie's deliriously specific detail, affection for its characters, unexpected developments, and genuine sweetness keep us laughing with Napoleon, not at him." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2002)      "If it does not transcend its genre, at least is is a solid example of why that genre endures." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

D
     (2003)      ""National Security" is another in a string of indistinguishable dumb action comedies that would all run together in the mind of anyone unfortunate enough to watch them if they were not so instantly forgettable." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2004)      "When the effects seem more real than the characters, the quest, and, especially, the jokes, even an overstuffed movie like this one just feels empty. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2007)      "A nice confidence and easy energy, three Oscar winners happily chewing every piece of scenery in sight, and one great action sequence with four characters trying to maintain the balance of a swaying platform." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
5/5
     (1944)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2006)      "Newcomer Oliver Isaac effectively conveys tenderness, doubt, courage, and transcendence as Joseph." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2008)      "Fetishised footage of taut, muscular young men grappling with and pounding on each other. All I could think was, "Oh, go ahead. Back down. We'll all be happier."" [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
4/5
     (1999)      "Drew Barrymore is completely adorable in this completely adorable story." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2004)      "It deserves some credit for its ambitions. But those ambitions tip it over into pretentious melodrama that only emphasizes how far short of its aspirations it falls." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
1/5
     (2002)      "This high school epic, supposedly about one boy's path to true cool is so half-baked and uncool that it's embarrassing." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2009)      "There may be nothing new here, but like one character's favorite recipe, sometimes bland can still be tasty." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
C
     (2007)      ""What about intel?" someone asks. "We don't need it--we have HIM." You don't need to be Cage to forsee we're in for a lot of bang bang and the obligatory shooting of the black secondary character is moments away." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
F
     (2009)      "To add insult to injury, the mindless comedy turns into a mindless shoot 'em up. Mark this package delivery refused." [movie review]      Beliefnet

     (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
A
     (2002)      "Like a Crummles extravaganza -- dastardly villains, true-hearted heroes, love, hate, revenge, comedy, tragedy -- and a working pump." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2008)      "Draws from the emerging world of cuddle puddles and omni-connectedness in a manner that moves the story forward without being intrusive or trying too hard to be hip." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B
     (2006)      "It's a better than average CGI-fest, more often silly than funny. But it makes some good points about courage, self-respect, and the importance of learning about history." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2009)      "The sweet spot between action and inspired silliness." [movie review]      Beliefnet

B
     (2008)      "Close-ups were invented for Lane's rare beauty, inside and out. We feel that it is her spirit as an actress and a character illuminating this story." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B+
     (2008)      "An eye-filling and heart-warming story" [movie review]      Chicago Sun-Times   
  
4/5
     (1939)      "Enchanting." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Cormac McCarthy's book about a man who finds a case full of money at the scene of a drug deal gone very, very wrong is ideally suited for the Coen brother's understated talk and striking visuals." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Good, old-fashioned Hollywood gloss with smooth and winning portrayals from its three leads, and food so lusciously photographed that Zeta Jones may just be the second most beautiful sight onscreen." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
D
     (2007)      "Eddie Murphy has taken his love for playing multiple roles, Jerry Lewis, crude humor, himself, and -- to be charitable -- his deeply conflicted feelings about women, and made a movie that is disgusting, unfunny, dull, and an appalling waste of talent." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2005)      "Instead of sticking to the undeniably moving facts, this movie veers off into distracting and soapy subplots." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2004)      "Cassavettes wants this to be a love letter to Rowlands, his mother. She is luminous, and we believe she could inspire great love. Too bad it's not in a great movie. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2006)      "An incisive script by Patrick Marber (Closer), based on the novel by Zoe Heller and brilliantly ruthless performances by Dench, Blanchett, and Bill Nighy as Sheba's husband make this an intense psychological drama with the urgency of last night's news." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2008)      "The stars quickly create an authentic sense of the rhythms and short-cuts of family communication." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B-
     (2009)      "This movie will inevitably come up short when compared to documentaries like the one about the similarly brief life of the far more prolific rapper Tupac Shakur." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
3/5
     (2001)      "This is a dark and stylish tale of lies, cheating, extortion, incest, betrayal, and murder that begins in the antiseptic and meticulously maintained office of a dentist." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

C
     (2007)      "There are 23 things wrong with this movie. Or maybe there are 24. Or 165. To be honest, I lost count." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
