[movie review]      Slant Magazine            Race to Witch Mountain (2009)      "Give me Speed Racer instead--hell, even Wicked Stepmother." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Radio (2003)      "Like the carol the film proudly blares during Christmas season: “Joy to the World! The Savior Reigns!”" [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Radio (2003)      "You know a film is in trouble when a studio has to dig all the way to the bottom of the barrel and use a quote by publicity shill, non-journalist Earl Dittman for the DVD." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Rain (2002)      "Director Christine Jeffs' visual palette is hauntingly poetical, her spare use of dialogue a relentless composite of the film's constrictive atmosphere." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Raise Your Voice (2004)      "You may have won this time Hilary Duff—my arch nemesis—but I’ll get you next time!" [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Raise Your Voice (2004)      "10 Reasons Why You Should (Or Shouldn’t) See Raise Your Voice..." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Raising Helen (2004)      "Ladies: You're going to hell if your popping bubble wrap with male models instead of birthin’ babies at home." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Raising Helen (2004)      "As long as Cosmo girls exist, so will films like Raising Helen." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            Raising Victor Vargas (2003)      "“Was it funny when you pissed in my shoes or tried to cut my hair?”" [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Raising Victor Vargas (2003)      "Peter Sollett’s Raising Victor Vargas is a tenderhearted evocation of a young Latino’s conflicts with girls and his own stubborn family." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Raja (2004)      "Once you remove all the economic and cultural baggage that frustrates the couple's attempts to hook-up, Raja is really just about the thrill of the chase." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      The Raspberry Reich (2004)      "Both a counter-cultural assault on homosexist ideology and a comment on the way a revolution is often watered by media-obsessed bleeding hearts." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Rat Race (2001)      "An uncomfortable comment on the desperate-to-be-cast nature of the second-tier Hollywood actor." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Ratatouille (2007)      "Ratatouille is darling, even if I'm still of the opinion that a rat will eat your face if you let your guard down for a second." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Read My Lips (2002)      "Their fascinating interdependence gives way to a power struggle built on unspoken trust and a series of daring demands." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Read My Lips (2002)      "No supplemental material on this DVD edition but, then again, it’s Audiard’s taut screenplay and even more effective observation of a very complex relationship that’s key here." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            The Real Cancun (2003)      "Body shots. Tequila shots. Boobies! Boobies! Boobies! Get your freak on with this DVD edition of The Real Cancun." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      The Real Cancun (2003)      "“Girls Gone Wild” meets “The Real Wold” in miniature, with Snoop Dogg’s seal of approval." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007)      "The Real Dirt on Farmer John is the healthiest film on the block." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Real Women Have Curves (2002)      "Certainly not the best film ever made but it’s definitely something for the Latin community to be proud of." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Real Women Have Curves (2002)      "Real Women Have Curves wears its empowerment on its sleeve but even its worst harangues are easy to swallow thanks to remarkable performances by Ferrera and Ontiveros." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      The Reaping (2007)      "Disguises its utter lack of significance beneath incoherent backtracking, old-school-religion brouhaha, and a soundtrack of traditional soul music." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      The Reception (2005)      "The Reception's spartan aesthetic allows director John G. Young to really tap into the story's painful racial and sexual hot zone." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Reception (2005)      "The Reception welcomes us with a punch in the gut." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            The Reckoning (2004)      "Lacks the bare, postmodern octane and sexual primitivism of Jean-Claude Brisseau's brilliant Secret Things." [movie review]      City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul       2/4      Reconstruction (2004)      "Boe’s strange reconstruction of a love quadrangle suggests at times an episode of Unsolved Mysteries as directed by Jean-Luc Godard." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Recount (2008)      "Though depressing as a reminder of how George W. Bush's presidency was won by the concerted efforts of numerous Republican interests more or less working independently of each other, it's also a screechy example of liberal Hollywood condescension." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Recruit (2003)      "For the boys: watch Farrell try to ****-block a mole within the CIA. For the girls: Farrell’s Irish accent (on the commentary track, of course) will leave you dreaming about what it would be like to have his baby." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Red Doors (2005)      "The director attempts a disquisition on the beast of ethnic assimilation, except her point is obvious only in the way she lazily cobbles her story together from the worst indie-movie clichés made fashionable in the wake of American Beauty." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Red Dragon (2002)      "The pitch meeting must have gone something like this: "Has anyone here seen Manhunter? Good. Neither has the rest of America."" [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Red Eye (2005)      "Red Eye is a model of swiftness and efficiency, shrouded in a veil of secrecy." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Red Lights (2004)      "Cédric Kahn’s latest finds an elaborate metaphor for a man’s frustrated existence in the highways of France." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Redbelt (2008)      "Redbelt may or may not be David Mamet's best feature, but it is most definitely his least sycophantically written." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Reel Paradise (2005)      "May be screened in film courses as an example of how the Guru of Independent Film came to bow before the altar of Hollywood blockbusters." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Reign of Fire (2002)      "The story is undeniably cheesy (its one-male-dragon plot point more so) but the film's set pieces (see the killer skydiving sequence) more than deliver, as does McConaughey." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Reign of Fire (2002)      "This not-so meaty DVD package for this nifty B-movie creation is a major let-down." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Remember Me, My Love (2004)      "It’s obvious that Muccino’s annoying case of Magnoliaitis is only getting worse by the minute." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Reminiscing in Tempo (2006)      "Reminiscing in Tempo is simply not in sync with its subject matter." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Rendition (2007)      "Hollywood kick-starts another Oscar season with a modish globetrotting guilt trip that histrionically explores how government policy and our involvement in the Middle East affects people in America on a personal level." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Rent (2005)      "Rent-heads will shriek for joy when they encounter the supplemental materials available on this 2-disc DVD edition." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)      "Give me torture porn any day." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Reprise (2008)      "This groovy little film is spiked with an arresting, hyper-saturated mix of sadness and joy." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       4/4      Repulsion (1965)      "Its two-way prism of audio-visual embellishments intuits a woman's fractured psyche and catches super-cool flashes of the audience's perverse cine-desires." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Repulsion (1965)      "One for the ages, Repulsion is a master class of hypnotic movie brio, the visual and audio keyed impeccably and disturbingly to the psychological." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Requiem (2006)      "Hüller's master class in acting is not only a portrait of a holy creature frenzied by otherworldly spirits but a voluptuous reflection of the pressures that accosted so many women of her character's age, time, and devotions." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Requiem (2006)      "See Requiem and witness the greatest performance of 2006." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Resident Evil (2002)      "Resident Evil may be brain dead but it's great popcorn entertainment nonetheless." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Resident Evil (2002)      "You ain’t seen nothin’ until you’ve seen Milla Jovovich kick a Doberman in the face." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)      "A ****-poor follow-up to the Paul W.S. Anderson original, but the DVD’s cover art and slip sleeve are pretty nifty." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine
