B
     (2007)      "Several beautifully intercut musical numbers keep the action moving and the dialogue in between is sweet, tart and subversive." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
A
     (2006)      "...one of the best male performances of the year from Gosling and a breakthrough for its filmmakers and young costar Epps." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2007)      "...a sometimes thoughtful reimagining...also plodding and brutal rather than horrific. The leaner, creepier original remains the classic." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2000)      "Too intent on its own modernization trickeries for its own good." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2008)      "Cowriter/director Andrew Flemingpresents the anti-inspirational teacher in Marchz - the guy's a mess and Coogan is simply brilliant playing him, but Fleming's overloaded his film" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C-
     (2008)      "[Smith] should have pushed for a rewrite as "Hancock" only flies so far before degenerating into a lame and illogical "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B
     (2009)      "Director Todd Phillips ups the ante on his "Old School" antics in "The Hangover," a movie which solidifies the comic chops of Cooper and Helms and should make a star out of Galifianakis." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
9/10
     (2001)      "Director Ridley Scott and lead Hopkins have presented us with a buffet worth lingering over." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2008)      "The suicides are mostly very originally staged and creepy as hell...Mark Wahlberg is OK, but a scene where he 'forgives' his wife's indiscretion is just plain weird, as is Zooey Deschanel throughout." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
A
     (2008)      "This is writer/director Mike Leigh's best film since 1993's "Naked" and, in a sense, its photo negative twin - female centric as opposed to male, light vs. dark, optimistic vs. nihilistic..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C+
     (2005)      "There's really only one compelling reason to see this film and that is the extraordinary performance by young Ellen Page, a breakout if ever there was one." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C+
     (2001)      "Reeves has charm to spare with the kids and Lane but fails to convince in his drinking, gambling scenes." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2008)      "It's laugh out loud funny, and once the screenwriters figure out how to resolve's Patrick Harris's return, they still have Amsterdam." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2004)      "an epic pothead movie with laughs and smarts" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2002)      "one of those coulda, woulda, shoulda films that frustrates with its unrealized potential" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2002)      "This one does for the series what The Wrath of Khan did for Star Trek." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
A-
     (2005)      "Harry Potter's not just for kids anymore. Director Mike Newell has reset the bar for the series and delivered a smashingly dark and dramatic film" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2009)      "...the ever darkening and endangering story is in excellent hands as it heads towards its finale...Rickman is sublime." [movie review]      rec.arts.movies.reviews   
  
B+
     (2007)      "Director David Yates, the first Brit to helm the series, invests "Order of the Phoenix" with a very sinister tone from his opening frames..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B
     (2004)      "an influx of terrific British actors, the oncoming adulthood of the film's three young stars and the fabulous effect that is the Hippogriff sock this one over" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B
     (2001)      "While Chris Columbus has done what Warner Brothers, Rowling and most of her readership wanted...he's ironically lost some of the magic" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2006)      "Christian Bale, who also executive produced, has gone to the psycho well one too many times..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C+
     (2002)      "works on the whodunit level as its larger themes get lost in the murk of its own making" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
D+
     (2003)      "Sitting through The Haunted Mansion is about as exciting as watching a stranger's slide show of their trip to Disneyland" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2009)      ""The Amityville Horror" already spawned several sequels - did it really need a spinoff too?" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2004)      "[Garai and Luna] deliver the real emotion of a first love while remaining good examples for the tweenie crowd" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
c
     (2009)      "...occasionally sweet and occasionally funny but also infrequently relatable, oddly dated and often downright off putting." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
3/10
     (2001)      "This script ... is the sorriest piece of work that's been greenlit in over a year of weak Hollywood product." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2006)      "Rampling and Young give all kinds of subtle shadings to their performances and their dual scenes of leaving the island, one broken-hearted and accompanied by 'old' Haiti, the other finding a new, horrific exhilaration, deliver a final, resounding punch. " [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C+
     (2006)      "Argento has made a ferocious film including her own committed performance, but like her character, she loses control in the final goings. " [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2003)      "would have made a great vehicle for Bette Davis in the 1940s" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2001)      "This female rendition of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" doesn't break any new ground, but is more entertaining than it has any right to be due to its talented cast..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2001)      "a film in the tradition of King adaptations "Stand By Me" and "The Shawshank Redemption."" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2002)      "the film doesn't sustain its initial promise with a jarring, new-agey tone creeping into the second half" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews

A
     (2001)      " The rock musical is created anew with John Cameron Mitchell's dynamic, fearlessly individual vision and Stephen Trask's perfectly evocative music and lyrics." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B
     (2005)      "Heights is tonally blue in both look and feel and features a fierce performance by Glenn Close. " [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2008)      "The sad fact is, Madsen riding a chopper is cooler than the sight of Hopper in a suede fringed jacket, proof that you can't go home again." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2007)      "...a pastiche of classics of the genre and flat out homage to the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that observes all the conventions with a twinkle in its eye." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B
     (2004)      "Hellboy's characters may be reminiscent of X-Men, they're a lot more fun. Only a weak villain mars this new comic book entry. " [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2008)      ""Hellboy" was fun, but "Hellboy II" is even better...where else can one see a blotto red devil beast and humanoid amphibian massacre "I Can't Smile Without You?"" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C-
     (2008)      "If ever a movie pushed my cynicism buttons, this one was it..." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B-
     (2004)      ""Lawrence of Arabia" locations, "The Mummy's" sandstorm, a rescue a la "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and a scrappy horse besting bigger thoroughbreds like "Seabiscuit."" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
A-
     (2006)      "Yamada's film is old-fashioned in the very best sense. He is a great story teller and director of actors." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
D+
     (2005)      "...its surprise twist is more annoying than frightening." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
9/10
     (2000)      "The large cast is full of surprises from Tim Robbins' outrageous new age homewrecker to Lisa Bonet's indie artist." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2005)      "Aja creates a very effective slasher thriller only to light a match and send it up in flames with a third act twist that makes absolutely no sense" [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
B+
     (2005)      "David Cronenberg's elegant direction of Josh Olson's adaptation of John Wagner and Vince Locke's graphic novel almost seems like overkill for this spare and obvious tale." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2001)      "Yet despite .. a general good heartedness, "Hit and Runway" is another cliched movie about first time filmmakers whose script ends up mirroring their life." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews   
  
C
     (2007)      "...it will make the 1986 edition, a film marginally well-received in its day, seem like a classic in retrospect." [movie review]      Reeling Reviews
