3/4
     (2004)      "There’s a genuine and giddy warmth that makes this charming feminine teen tale into awkward womanhood feel like an uplifting, whimsical experience" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "However, Winterbottom is astute enough to rise above the rollicking and rhythmic cliches’ and provide the audience with an insightful and robust musical melodrama that is as staunchly riotous as it is refreshingly informative." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Lee has supplied us with stimulating fodder before that unsparingly took us into the depths of issues dealing with swept-under-the-rug subject matters...he’s just as formidable, resourceful and passionate about delivering a timely message" [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
B+
     (2002)      "A rewarding redemption piece that echoes the cynicism of post 9/11 sensibilities." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "...Grippingly grotesque...Boyle’s surly and hellish sideshow is profoundly intoxicating in its tangy ugly creepiness. 28 Days Later is ruefully soulful in its scruffy flamboyance" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Bleak, bombastic and belligerent, Slade's blood-busting bohemians will indeed take a caustic chunk out of your imaginative horrifying souls." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Artistically triumphant in its arresting visual spectacle. Undoubtedly, the hyperactive male psyche for violent-induced petulance is proudly on display in the extravagant 300" [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "Sprawling, intriguing and handsomely shot, Yuma builds its gruff tension while being reminiscent of the frothy frontier flicks from yesteryear." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2002)      "Fittingly, avid Eminen enthusiasts and other targeted moviegoers will gleefully run this 8 Mile race and enjoy the antics of a misunderstood foul-mouthed rapping icon with layers of complexity" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "About Schmidt is solidly a wry, smart and intuitive showcase. Payne has proven time and time again that he is a crafty social satirist whose finger is constantly on the pulse regarding his comical and caustic commentaries." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Deliciously profane, dark and somber, Denmark's Adam's Apples is fiendishly ripe for the picking." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "The collaboration of Jonze's unorthodox direction and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's script hasn't been this delightfully solid since their surrealistic joyride in 1999's wonderfully erratic comedy Being John Malkovich." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "...a refreshing take on "the teen turmoil scene" where the uncertainty and inherent fear of a gifted mind is explored with the legitimacy of doubt and disappointment." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2001)      "But you still can admire director Michael Mann's fortitude in trying to present the boxing world's "black Superman" on the big screen in the dazzling but spotty Ali. Mann's project is ambitious and rapid fire in its presentation." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2009)      "...gently wacky. Although breezy and sketchy on the easy laughs at times, Alien Trespass does promise to entertain for the sole purpose of its campy off-kilter makeup." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "...ponderous and relentlessly padded in its moral morass... Grace manages to work effectively as a crusading costume drama drenched in consciousness and conviction." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2001)      "Amelie From Montmartre is pragmatic, lighthearted, imaginative and clearly one of the best romantic charmers to come along in a year that has been dominated by posturing fluff." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "American Gangster dares to look in the menacing mirror and reflect the scabrous priorities that define some handsomely yet disillusion others hauntingly." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "...has surprisingly captured the eccentric spunkiness of the pioneering Pekar...American Splendor is weirdly captivating in its offbeat intimacy." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "Washington and Luke give honest, touching performances in an African-American exposition that refreshingly puts the spotlight on black aggression from a different, subtle point of view -- riveting in spite of its uneven and saccharine-coated tendencies" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "Gervasi uncovers the obscurity blanket from [these] veteran Canadian metal rockers and gives them a cinematic salute in the outrageously entertaining Anvil!" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
4/4
     (1997)      "Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall has directed, produced, and wrote what very well may be the most intensifying, gut-wrenching, powerful and complexed movies that has hit the big screen in ages" [movie review]      rec.arts.movies.reviews   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Bottom line: consider the engagingly outlandish Aqua Teen Hunger Force as feisty food for incomprehensible thought." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Travel is an ambitious, involving and extensive travelogue that challenges the imagination. [A] feasible fable that allows one to remain contemplative and connected" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Aside from the movie's mouthful title, this [is a] contemplative and carousing exposition. [The] prairie-induced pathos is plenty to digest with absolute reverence." [movie review]      World Voice News   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "...a razor sharp character study about internal disillusionment and overwhelming disappointment...ambitiously seedy and intimate spectacle of a damaged man’s moral breakdown" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "...[a] disjointed but jolting jailhouse shoot-‘em-up showcase...a frenetic and formulaic action-drama guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      ""ATL" doesn't explore any new ground in the genre of black teen disillusionment but this is an affecting urban cautionary tale that sparkles in its own self-reflection." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "Auto Focus is a revealing albeit uneven biopic about one man's quiet depravity and the concoction of temptation that fueled his quest for compulsive, risque pleasures." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2004)      "A masterful and stylistic epic concocted by the skillful Scorsese and his trademark visionary flourishes of detail and determination." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "[a] dark and dour laugher that gleefully sticks its tongue out. Bad Santa is proof that getting coal in your Christmas stocking isn’t such a terrible gesture after all" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "Relentlessly moody, colorfully chaotic and symbolically transfixing, Batman Begins is definitely a new chapter that’s instilled in the same old reliable book" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
4/4
     (2001)      "Here's hoping that the Academy Awards recognize this articulate, intensely entertaining gem. A Beautiful Mind would indeed be a terrible thing to waste." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "An innocuous and sleepy-eyed kiddie fable that resonates occasionally in its tenderness. Intermittently dour and drab in some instances [but] also very charming and observant" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "With other African-oriented dramas making the noted rounds it's definitely warranted for "Beyond the Gates" to tell it like it is...in all shades of dimming black and white." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "Daringly perceptive, taut, piercing and feisty, Biggie and Tupac is undeniably subversive and involving in its bold presentation." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Daring, delusional and downright devilish, Black Snake Moan soaks in its molasses-driven melodrama with an unctuous confidence and biting creativity." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Predictably goofy-minded and off-centered, Blades is a desired guilty pleasure for Ferrell fans that want to park their funnybones at the nearest skating rink." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2003)      "'Filmmakers Andre Heller and Othmar Schmiderer take the golden opportunity to try and lend some insight regarding the world's most notorious Fuhrer in the resourceful documentary Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary.'" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2002)      "As a showcase for Clint Eastwood to take himself down a few notches and play a redemptive patched-up soul tackling his demons, it's a fun observation to witness. But as an overall effective thriller, this BLOOD should be much thicker than water." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
4/5
     (2002)      "A solid and refined piece of moviemaking imbued with passion and attitude." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "...suspenseful and calculating. As a stimulating thriller padded with cynical mind games, Breach flourishes with its vivid dosage of prestige and paranoia." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3/4
     (2008)      "...an economically poignant melodrama about a young Muslim girl's fragile mindset and the journey that leads to her self-discovery...relentlessly affecting in mind and consciousness." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/4
     (2007)      "Csupo ushers in an exciting and emotional action-adventure product that enchants and motivates the active imagination...Terabithia radiates with engaging enthusiasm." [movie review]      TheWorldJournal.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "Exquisitely shot and vast in its emotional take on forbidden love, Brokeback Mountain is compassionate and compelling in its risqué examination of perceived manhood." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3.5
     (2005)      "Quietly robust and keenly insightful in its melancholy mode... unconditionally infectious as a wry commentary mixing pathos and pleasure at the expense of an aging Don Juan" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "...uneven yet absorbing. Ambitious and thought-provoking in his (Evans) willingness to explore the complex depths of alienation and artistry" [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "The Coens' brand of irreverent chuckles propels Burn After Reading as a stylistic and sassy sideshow for unredeemable rogues on the road to surrealistic scrutiny." [movie review]      Movie Eye   
  
3/5
     (2001)      "A festive experience for those who are willing to embrace Latin jazz, but it doesn't reveal anything beyond a peek at a two hour celluloid concert in session." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com
