3/4
     (2005)      "Has both an eccentric sensibility and, ultimately, a spiritual quality that should have audiences debating the final scene for hours." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "'Why do we run into a burning building while everyone else is running out?' is the same as asking 'Why do I go see crap movies like Ladder 49?' Because it’s my friggin JOB!" [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "The one prescient thing associated with the soothsaying around his self-appointed savior character is that if he continues along the path he's on now, someone is going to take him out and it won't just be a film critic." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2004)      "It’s on par with The Big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou and in many ways surpasses both of them in laugh terms alone." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2006)      "Sucks the magic right out as we wonder why the filmmakers and even the characters just aren't having more fun with the possibilities beyond improbably homaging Speed to bridge the two of them." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2/5
     (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2008)      "Lakeview Terrace waves bye-bye much earlier on than it should and that's a shame because it would have been so nice to see such lofty reflections getting along in a thriller for mass consumption." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2004)      "Spends so much time on the obsession with terror that it dilapidates our ability to ultimately care until it’s too late." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Land of the Lost will have kids asking if they can just go see Up again. Hopefully mom and dad have a little money left after blowing it on this." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2003)      "Another lifeless big-budget sequel that's only going to remind audiences how much they really didn't like the original in the first place" [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2007)      "The final moment of the film is a shining light of hope that most romantic comedies would kill to craft a fantasy around." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2001)      "A howler of a prison movie about a genital-wagging contest supported by a group of grown-up boys still longing to play with their toys in the sand." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2009)      "Craven himself has said that the 2009 is a marked improvement over his film and some fans I know balked at such a statement. Only the truth is they should keep repeating to themselves, 'Craven was right. Craven was right.'" [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2006)      "This isn't a history lesson, it's Playing God co-starring Idi Amin with Scully instead of Mulder." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "An American drama with European sensibilities right up to an ending which on the surface feels like a grand romantic gesture but whose triumph opens up a door of far gloomier and irrevocable consequences." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "It’s a portrait of the male bravado, an anthem for struggling actors everywhere, an underdog tale that outperforms your average sports movie. It’s also very funny, seamlessly told and a great piece of entertainment for anyone open to new experiences." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
4/4
     (2003)      "Casts such a spell with its beauty, performances and four solid action sequences that its easy to forget and even easier to forgive its derivative nature." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2004)      "Jeff Nathanson’s attempt tries to tell a nearly unbelievable true story but settles into being an unfocused clone of sharper works" [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2009)      "Anyone who enjoys this film and feels that the 'point' had been made must sit in their own padded cell with nothing but a copy of the documentary Dear Zachary to see what a true miscarriage of justice looks like." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "It’s loud, alternately garish and boorish and is going to hack off literary connoisseurs, comic book lovers and movie fans alike." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "Great characters, big laughs and a helluva climax all combine to make this one of the most entertaining sports documentaries ever made." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2/4
     (2008)      "It seems as if the MPAA unfairly upped a clear "PG" movie into a "PG-13". But adding numbers can't even the score on the edge that Leatherheads lacks in the sharpness of its humor delivery and the hits on the field." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
6/10
     (1999)      "The script as now feels like a bunch of dots with the lines between them missing." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "Arrives with its fair share of violence and probably more individual deaths by explosion than listed on Wile E. Coyote’s HMO chart." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
4/4
     (2004)      "Arson, snakes, hurricanes, murder, man-eating leeches and a plot development out of Jerry Lee Lewis’ scrapbook notwithstanding, this is beyond perfect family entertainment" [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Delves into a standard caper film full of cons and double-crosses. And as those types of films go, it's really not too bad." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "The funniest character you are likely to see created in any film all year." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1/4
     (2009)      "At 15 minutes, it might be deemed an interesting experiment. At ONE-HUNDRED and 15 minutes you have a film that tests the limits of the audience's control to stay awake and in their seats." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Lions for Lambs poses a lot of questions, but you won't have to wait around until the end to find the answers, because you know right from the beginning exactly what you're getting." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "This is a story that cuts through lost youth, actual youth and youth suspended through psychosexual disorders that mentally draw such people to their own kind." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
4/4
     (2006)      "A beautiful picture punctuated by a top-notch cast and a laugh quotient that exponentially grows right up to its satiric punctuation mark of a climax." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2006)      "Lonesome Jim is not going to become a generation’s anything the way Garden State is evolving, but it’s a decent sidebar" [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2005)      "What you saw in 1974 is pretty much what you get here, an audience pleaser that isn’t a particular laugh-riot but will certainly keep you in the game." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
4/4
     (2003)      "This is Dante’s Toontown and he’s going to appease every Looney fan from womb to grave." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2001)      "I’m positive that when all three have been released, we’ll be looking at a complete, inspiring epic from Peter Jackson. But we’re only a third of the way there." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
4/4
     (2003)      "Epic filmmaking in the achievement scales of Ben-Hur, Gone with the Wind and Lawrence of Arabia." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2002)      "The second chapter only cemented my love for the story & characters, but also my belief that this story in either 3-or-6 hour intervals won’t be fully served until The Return of the King ends." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "The approach to Yuri’s tale is an interesting one as Cage and Niccol never break their poker faces in trying to make him any more or any less than what he actually is." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1/4
     (2005)      "The perfect final image to encapsulate the film: A kid in a wheelchair, lobotomized by brain surgery, sitting in an empty pool surrounded by unlikable skateboarders." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3/4
     (2005)      "There’s not a bad performance in the lot, each fulfilling a sadness and a greater sense of danger that comes with satisfying their craving." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2003)      "One of the most unabashedly romantic films I’ve ever seen." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2004)      "Nothing more than “May” done wrong." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2009)      "The chemistry between the two of them is so beautiful and the astonishing poignancy of the final scene, done with all of just one line of dialogue is applause-worthy in and of itself." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
1.5/4
     (2003)      "Stumbles through unlikable characters written by the hand of someone who needed to take a few more risks himself." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
6/10
     (1999)      "Just too tame." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
0/4
     (2008)      "With one head-gnawing plot contrivance after another, it may think it's the wacky Iraq version of Easy Rider but is more like this year's Around the Bend or Diamonds." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com   
  
2.5/4
     (2007)      "Lucky You had enough charm and positivity to keep me in the game but as I walked away I felt the unusually hollow feel of having broken even on the whole experience." [movie review]      eFilmCritic.com
